I'd say her strongest characteristics while infested were her brash overconfidence and extreme viloence and that she is pretty bad at the whole cunning and scheming thing. Especially when compared to Duran who had proven his worth immediately to the UED, and continued to be useful while at the same time turning the admirals against each other to destroy the psi disruptor.

Kerrigan had a pretty good reason to approach the Protoss, but didn't really do a lot to earn their trust and the protoss didn't really gain much from her tagging along. And later on it's Duran who comes up with a plan to make it much easier to capture Razagal and to defeat Fenix and Duke. Pretty sure that Duran was the brains of the partnership.

this seems more of a SC:BW question since none of it really related to the SC2 campaign
but I thought she was pretty badass in the SC2 campaign

Yeah.

Well i didn't see a specific SP forum for BW, and the first few pages of topic titles look as though there is very little care for the campaign. So I figure I'd put it here since this seems to be the place where people talk about the story and characters and stuff.

Dude you've started four threads in sc2 single player in like a week and they're all speculative story questions... I really don't know what this means I'm just pointing it out.
Edit: dude above me wtf does that even mean? those are your first and second posts... I'm in shock
Double Edit: actually OP you've started five threads that I can see

Nice, pert rack, shapely behind, ponytailed red hair is a definite plus. Hostile Environment Suit seals the deal.

Oh, wait...

IMO she's been watered down for WoL. Like you said, cunning isn't really her thing (brash overconfidence does that). Her biggest selling point, the "Queen Bitch of the Universe" vibe just isn't there anymore.

I'd describe Kerrigan in WoL as mysterious. It's clear that Blizzard are keeping Kerrigan as unclear as possible, pretty much everything points to it. If you check the scrolling text in one of the news casts you can read news about how the Zerg aren't out for conquest, and for some reason they just pull back altogether when you've collected most of the Xel'Naga plot coupons. Guessing that she was in contact with Valarian and/or Arcturus at some point and that Valarian didn't keep his word, hence the "You will pay for this treachery" at the end of the game. Either that, or the Zerg queens are the new cerebrates and decided to leave Kerrigan in a world of shit back on Char because they didn't want an infested human ordering them around.

The point of BW campaign is that Raynor / protosses / Mengsk HAD to ally with Kerrigan in order to demolish the UED, as much as she needed them to get control back on the swarms.

She couldn't really be Duran like since they already knew her past and that she was infected.

Kerrigan knows about the relics and their anti-hybrid effects. She wishes to keep them out of the terrans' hands because she suspects we're allied with the hybrids - or, at least, in our incompetence we won't use them as well as she would.

Kerrigan knows the hybrids are a threat, and the Relics are a weapon she would rather have in her hand than hybrid hands. The Overmind would've told her information like this before it died, and Kerrigan's mind-reading abilities picked up the prophecies from Zeratul when she fought him, meaning Kerrigan KNOWS she's threatened by hybrids, and that she important in making the Zerg resist hybrid control.

What does this mean? It means the Terrans from WoL and the Zerg from WoL are on the same side, and that every action you took against them was friendly fire. However, the Terrans and the Zerg aren't going to trust each-other any time in the next century, so even if both groups want to fight the hybrids, the sentiment is "You. Give me all your anti-hybrid stuff right now before you use it wrong and kill us all." "No U." "Waagh!"

Edit: I just realised this doesn't explain wtf Kerrigan was doing attacking the New Agria colonists (Dr. Hanson questline). What was Kerrigan doing there? Kerrigan pretty much followed Ariel Hanson across the sector. What Tosh said about Hanson being a zergmagnet is true, but I don't understand why or how that should be.

Hey, you a fan of the Baldurs Gate series? Or is the name a cooincidence?

Anyway, I maintain my opinion that Kerrigan lacks Durans grasp of subtlty and cunning.

Whoa. I never noticed her saying that, or I never realized what it meant.

I kind of hate the WoL Kerrigan. In BW she was a total punk, full of sarcasm and arrogance. The WoL Kerrigan seemed.. empty. Like nobody gave her much thought when giving her lines. All that hostile personality.. completely gone.
now run into the setting sun, and suffer, but don't mess up your hair.

Super cute too. Totally would be a hot Halloween costume.... or blizcon.

But as far as WoL - I wasn't really impressed by her. I hope she gets more personality in the next game.

Character with a lot of potential in SC, ok, not optimally developed character in BW, pathetic piece of trash one-dimensional villain in WoL.

Because she was so multi-dimension in the Terran part with her one appearance at the final mission, right? "I'm gonna pwn you noobs, and by the way alexi was twice the man you are".

lol.

You don't support Kerrigan's character in WoL at all. In all of these ridiculous threads you make you just mindlessly bash BW without actually defending the WoL writing. Just in case you didn't know, that doesn't actually work at justifying the atrocious script and just overall writing that WoL had.
