I might be a bit bias here as zeratul was my favorite character but zeratul's voice in sc1 just gave me the chill whenever he spoke, and as people pointed out before in sc2 his voice sounds weaker.

On a more objective note, the scripts in sc2 are just horrible. -.-

I enjoyed the B-dub voice more, but I think it would be incorrect to try to portray him the same way. He's grown in wisdom and power, and maybe in the burdens he carries psychologically. To me he sounds like he's less the physical presence of his B-dub self—the overriding assassin-figure—and more of an ethereal warrior; living in the present only in part.

Eh, four years of travelling alone to remote worlds to hunt hybrids and knowledge of the Xel'Naga might. Before the events of Brood War, I'd assume he spent most of his time on Shakuras with his people, maybe arbitrating small disputes, maybe not.

this is a pretty simple question .. but the answer is a little off topic ..

its not the voice .. but its the script .. DAMNED LAME SCRIPT .. Zeratul =/= Yoda .. zzzz

Entirely agreed; better writing would make everyone more comfortable.

Actually according to the story told in the Dark Templar trilogy, Zeratul spent the four years since BW alone on a remote planet moping because he felt guilty for Aiur's destruction and for having had to kill Razhagal.

I didn't even realize it was a different voice actor until I saw this thread... and now I refuse to watch all the videos to do a side by side comparison just to avoid possibly ruining my perception of either performance for myself.

To anyone worried about the quality in the first post, a few posts down has side by side videos for easily hearing both.

SC1 was brilliant. SC2 = ???

Don't vote SC2 only because OP chose probably the lowest quality audio file he could find.

I like both.
In SC1 he sounds more badass and like a kickass assassin.
In SC2 he sounds like a very wise prelate.

Man i can't believe you guys are complaining about Zeratul. His sc2 voice is fine.

Yall should complain about bloody Kerrigan, now she is a GREAT dissapointment. Her voice, her look,
everything about her is nerfed.

So, if you went hiking in the himalayas, you'd expect to return home with a new voice?

Zeratul just sounds like an old codger in SC2. In SC1 he sounded like a true badass.

FRIEND RAYNOR!

I cringed EVERY time he said that. The voice isn't as good as SC1 but I liked it until he started sounding like a retarded caveman trying to reach out to the guy from outerspace. Who WROTE the script for most of his lines? FRIEND THIS! FRIEND THAT! FRIEND!!!!! WE ARE FRIENDS! FRIEND RAYNOR!
So wait? I'm bad? =(

SC1 zeratul for sure.

It's mainly a mix of nostalgic and the fact that SC2's script isn't written as well as SC1 was.

Isn't it the exact same voice. At least that's what it sounds.

Selective reading ftw. If you actually read the thread, most of the post are directed at the crappy script that zeratul in sc2 has.

It's the Tauren Chieftan or perhaps Cairne Bloodhoof. He sounds too old and wise, he's Zeratul, not Grandfather Zeratul. :[

God you idiots blinded by your "nostalgia therefore you say sc1 voice is better lolololol"

you're no better than people blindly saying sc1 zeratul > sc2 zeratul beacuse of nostalgia.

on topic -
it's about split even for me, even though he sounded like a complete badass in sc1, I wouldn't like it if he sounded like that in sc2. wouldn't fit after what happened to him in bw anda ll.

and dialogue was bad, I think most people can agree to this.

The original is always the best, thats the way the brain works, we get attatched to the original and its hard to come to terms with change alot of the time, i think the new guy is doing anok job, it could deffinitely be aot worse, but he needs a bit more 'grunt' as was stated earlier. RIP to the original actor too
