I think they could have brought back the grit. But that is me. I don't want to come off as bashing the new V.A. either. I definitely think he has the talent to perform Zeratul brilliantly.. just not the Zeratul I remember.

Oh well. And perhaps it is the script that didn't do him justice. Hopefully the next iterations of the game will find him more and more improved.

SC1 was a lot better, but SC2 was alright, not bad. SC2's script however was fucking horrendous compared to SC1 though, so that sort of makes the SC2 Zeratul seem so much worse than it should've been :\

Also, BW's opening blows SC2's out of the water, completely. It's nowhere near as pretty as SC2's intro, but the atmosphere and music is just unmatched. And this is what I'm missing in SC2.. the gritty hardcore reality of various factions just fighting eah other for supremacy in the sector. Not some gay "save teh universe from teh ebil voice!!!" theme with smatterings of "DESTINY!!" and uniting against the evil -___- Ironically, everything in SC/BW seems more realistic than SC2..

I don't see how this can be up for discussion. His voice in SC2 makes him sound like a crazy old man, whereas in SC1 he sounds like a wise old badass.

The script didn't help him at all either.

This exactly.

I really loved the old Zeratul, he was radiating wisdom, calculated responsibility and tormented experience. In SC2 he's more of a random ET with weird grammar and almost meaningless dialogue.

I think the modern graphic era has made it a lot more difficult for voice acting too. In SC1 the talking portraits were more than sufficient. You had good detailed character portrait and dialogue and the viewers could build up the rest through their imagination. Nowadays everything is zoomable and 3D animated. Still, the animation and character details aren't on the level where they could fluently support good character development. At that point they only shut down your imagination and the characters end up being shallow.

I think Zeratul's voice in SC1 is better, but Zeratul is still pretty badass overall in SC2.

Zeratul was a badass in sc1, and his voice in sc1 is kind of lame.

The sc2 voice sounds much more like a human voice with audio FX on top.
I kept listening for the specific FX they used, some inverted predelay with reverb or something. Even distracted me from the content for most of the time.

The sc1 voice sounded awesome in my mind, but I can't recall it. Will listen to it again soon (i'm at work now).

OMG is the Starcraft 2 voice better. Its weird how much of it sounds "the same" until you really put it side by side.

Nostalgia blinds you fools.

The stuff that came out from Zeratul in SC2 where so cliche, boring, fake and predictable that it doesn't even matter how good the voice was. SC1 all the way.

SC2 by far. SC1's voice was... alright, but it was too gravely I think.

His SC2 voice is pretty perfect.


He spent centuries harnessing the powers of the void in the utter darkness of space, and you think his voice was too gravely?

I wonder about Kerrigan though. Replacing an actor for an established role always seems wrong.
