Weird ... I totally did not get that dialogue. Maybe it's because the game thought I was going to fail lol. I only had 1 or 2 tanks (no buildings or anything else) left when I hit 100%. Or maybe it was because Kerrigan was still active when I hit 100% ... maybe the dialogue is triggered by bringing her down the last time.

Well hopefully we'll get an updated portrait for whatever Kerrigan is in Hots, bad bad Blizzard for making a major character look like a minor character.


if you followed blizzards comments regarding kerrigan years back .. in SC:original, she was suppose to be a minor character .. like aldaris ..

So Kerrigan was planned to be a minor character in SC2? And yes I do know what you're talking about, though I think they said it was more along the lines of Kerrigan was thrown into the game rather late than she was planned to be a minor character. Before they even started making SC2 Kerrigan obviously wasn't meant to be a minor character, they should have had art planned for her looks early on, which I suppose means it's likely Nova being a look alike came second.


She was planned to be a minor throw away character originally in sc1. She was originally supposed to just die when she got left behind.

So the intricate story of SC1 was just a fluke? That explains the SC2 story and storytelling...

Maybe, they both might go to a same ghost academy or it's probably me speculating.

One reason why the portrait of Kerrigan and the CG version of Kerrigan is so different is in what I said.

The portrait is 2D, the CG version is 3D. Now, that being said, they are SEVERELY different even considering that. But the picture that Raynor has of Kerrigan is quite different as well. So who knows.

To anyone who is saying Kerrigan is a late addition: What the fuck? Kerrigan is HUGELY important in every single campaign. I don't know what you guys are talking about. Blizzard is damn good, but I don't think they are so good to add a "late addition" into the campaign so flawlessly and with such great importance in the story.

The real travesty here is that Nova is the 1000 solo win icon for Terran. Every other race has something bad ass and Terran gets a prematurely graying girl who has appeared in one of the campaign missions...


Thats most likely because getting 1000 solo wins as terran is so easy

In an interview on Sclegacy, Chris Metzen admits that Kerrigan's role in the original SC1 campaign was only added during the later stages of development. But, yeah they still did a good job with it. You can note that Kerrigan is quite absent in the Protoss campaign of vanilla SC. She really was supposed to be a minor character at first.

It's Kerrigan but for whatever reason they're using a slightly altered version of Nova's portrait. Different perspective and obviously recolored. They did the same for the multiplayer portraits. Dunno if they just got lazy or whatever because she clearly looks different from the cinematic.

Nova, fake Kerrigan, actual Kerrigan:

I think the middle image is Kerrigan's portrait in Heart of the Swarm

nova portrait = not attractive
kerrigan portrait = not attractive
cinematic kerrigan portrait = attractive

honestly when i get to 1000 terran games won.. im not even going to use nova's stupid portrait.. both zerg and toss have badass portraits lol.

and this is why i don't use my kerrigan portrait, she is bland and dull. same goes for just about every terran portrait... they need some kind of expression.

the 2d portrait is a 3d rendered shot... im just saying, no one sat there and drew a perfectly looking 3d model in 2d with a graphics tab. they would have touched it up after the shot was taking...

so in saying that.. why couldn't they grab the 3d model from the cinematic and use that for their shot..

OR maybe im just waaaaay of?

Yeahhh they needa take the cinematic version and make it the portrait, she look 500x better.

And what's with the fucking goliath and vulture portraits. WHO WOULD EVER THINK THOSE GOGGLE THINGS are even REMOTELY COOL? So awful.

The goliath got absolute butchered in terms of the unit itself, the portrait, and the voice. =(

What the hell is wrong with this world... "when I get 1K T wins, I won't use Nova" ... I'm speechless. I'd kill to have Nova's portrait instead of getting Queen of Blades since I'm Z -.-

Nova is more of an easter egg she was the lead in starcraft ghost she has nothing to do with kerrigan except for being a ghost.

No. She was badass in BW. They killed her character and everything that made her badass in SC2.

Well, nova's a pretty hard portrait to get unlike the fake kerrigan.
I don't think I've ever wished my opponent good luck prior to a game. When I play, I play to win. I hope every opponent I ever have is cursed with fucking terrible luck. I hope they're stuck playing underneath a stepladder with a black cat in attendance a
