Still interesting enough of an idea to elaborate :D 1. We know that the next generation of Xel'naga will be born from the protoss and the zergs but it's not by combining the DNA like Duran is doing. 2. We also know that the artifacts are part of the puzzle to the return of the Xel'naga. 3. Zeratul foresaw that the death of Kerrigan would mean the doom of the universe to the Dark Voice and his hybrids. So what happens if you merge a zerg with the protoss essence using the protoss artifacts? That could very well create the next generation of Xel'naga. And what happens if you merge a zerg/terran with the protoss essence? You might have a new generation of Xel'naga created by the essences of 3 races instead of 2. Wich means increased powers, and the ability to fight the Dark One like the prophesy foretold. The Xel'naga never really created Zerg ad Protoss, they helped them and wanted to use their essence (best trait of the race) to reproduce. No one has ever said this requiers only two essences, and none knows the real process of creating this new generation of Xel'naga. If the Xel'naga noticed or recognized potential in the terrans back in the days, maybe they would have helped them too. And maybe they would have found something useful in the 'essence'. Useful enough to be planning to use their essence in their next generation. (I'm guessing the terrans were'nt even existing back then) Terrans have something the other 2 races have not: creativity, loose-mind and artistic sense. The Dark One may be all powerfull and be able to foresaw the future. But chances are he did not put the terrans in his equation. Thus, creativity of the terran essence might be the key to defeating the Dark One, and to the next generation of Xel'naga. So, Kerrigan is the first of the new generation of Xel'naga. Combining essence of the 3 races. She might very well ressurect the overmind, lead the swarm against Mensk as he did side with Duran and the Dark One. That would be the story of HoTS. ( if you think about it, the Heart of the swarm is the overmind right? No way it will not be ressurected.) What's cool about prophesies is, they are most of the time misinterpreted. You gotta think outside the box! Again, these are only thoughts!! | ||

Where was it confirmed? Possible for episode 3. Episode 4 DEFINITELY not because you meet Artanis lol. | ||

I too think the missions will be Kerrigan wrestling to control the zerg once more. | ||

The first expansion set, Heart of the Swarm (working title), will follow later and include a single-player campaign focusing on the zerg and Kerrigan, Queen of Blades They've already talked about Kerrigan using mutations to strengthen herself so she can't be fully human or at least not for long. The Zerg may have more RPG-like elements as they try to upgrade their Queen. http://www.1up.com/news/starcraft-2-trilogy | ||

First off, Tychus is definitely dead, its on the end screen. ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/VLds3.png) Also, like previously posted Heart of the Swarm is said by blizzard to focus on kerrigan, and the screen shot above even says you discover Kerrigan's fate and the rest of the zerg. They don't say raynor, they don't say mengsk's fate, they say Kerrigan and the zerg. Her connection with the zerg isn't over yet, even if she is not fully zerg anymore. | ||

I mean, part of what made the zerg so unique and made me want to play them is just how ...dark they are. They are without a doubt the "monsters" of the sc legacy. At least until this latest campaign. Think about it, you got to play as the servant of an all powerful Overmind who only cared to assimilate and destroy. Even while playing in multiplayer, am I the only one who got the shivers just from seeing the Overmind's eye in the icon screen. I guess I just don't want the zerg to become a "misunderstood" race like the orcs. I mean, are they even sentinent? I know the overmind is, but the zerg themselves? If the zerg become simply "slaves" than what does zerg really mean anymore. I myself would probably prefer a new Zerg Leader unwittingly serving the Xel Naga, and all the while destroy terran and toss and Kerrigan, who struggles with her zerg broods. As long as the zerg had remained "dark" they were epic. Even this storyline would be alright if the Overmind could really still be an evil being. Not just self-serving, but truly just.... Borg like. Maybe tricked, but slaves? Guess I was in denial. | ||

Pretty sure they explicitly called you executor in the first game so that. You replaced Tassadar. I agree with people that at least iwth hte start of the next game Kerrigan will work to regain control of the zerg. I disagree with the person who said that Kerrigan is a combination of 3 races. The artifact was not protoss but xelnaga. So no protoss elements were infused into her. Rather, the reason the combination of her and the zerg works is because she is probably the most powerul human psychic ever. This puts here on level with a protoss and provides the necessary elements for a combination. I dunno whether or not she is human will make much difference but it might. We'll see. | ||

I'm certainly glad to see Blizzard do something other than it's normal "bad guys win" claptrap storytelling. I thought WOL was great and had a wonderful ending. | ||

Maybe tricked, but slaves? Guess I was in denial. Technically though, they are the misunderstood race. I know some people who think zergs are brutal killing machines whose sole purpose is to annihilate everything. Well, that's partially true. It's not the individual zerg creatures who harbor those feelings, but the Overmind, the Cerebrates, and then Kerrigan who commands them. Without a leader to control them, they're just different strains of their peaceful ancestors. Hark back to the campaign in SC where you go around with the psi emitter picking up lost and confused zergling and hydras. That's exactly what they are. I'm sure if they're being controlled by someone nice and fluffy, they'll in turn become essentially domesticated pets. | ||
