Apparently those stilettos are quite tough. I mean, at the very least the same concave should appear under Kerrigan when zeratul used her to propell herself, if she supposedly was so tough she could hold that force, it would just be directed to the ground. ![[image loading]](http://ircamera.as.arizona.edu/NatSci102/NatSci102/images/newton.jpg) Isaac does not approve. And I like the SC2 and post-true colours version better actually. The subtle hints that in the end she's hardly happy with it all and wants to die to some extend. She also doesn't seem to hate Zeratul as much as he dislikes her. | ||

Raszagal being the leader of the Protoss at the time was calling the shots for Zeratul, Artanis and the rest. Aldaris caught wind of it too. That's why he was really killed. The execution of the whole thing was problematic. It's made clear that Kerrigan has along leash on Razagal and that she could have avoided alerting Aldaris by simply leaving Shakuras. You could speculate that Aldaris might have found out even if Kerrigan hadn't shown up, but the whole protoss campaign progression just wasn't convincing enough for me to be satisifed. And then kerrigans taunts after Aldaris' attempted warning is punctuated by what is arguably the worst dialogue in the series "Begone from this place vile creature, you are no longer welcome here!". I figured Zeratul would want her dead or something. | ||

I have one quick little example that is emblematic of the problem with the whole direction the SC2 story is headed. When you kill Kerrigan in all-in she says "You will pay for this treachery!" That all sounds very good. Ooh, treachery, don't like the sound of that. Nope. And she'll make us pay for it. Yep. That all sounds very villanous and such. But wait! Treachery - ˈtreCHərē - Noun 1. Betrayal of trust; deceptive action or nature His resignation was perceived as an act of treachery. The treachery of language. Killing an alien monstrosity hell bent on the murder of you and every other human being on Char? Not treachery. | ||

Killing an alien monstrosity hell bent on the murder of you and every other human being on Char? Not treachery. Consider this. She is a powerful psionic who is probably able to bellow loudly enough to be heard from the other side of the planet. Venturing a guess here, but if it turns out that she wasn't talking to Jim and that Valarian decided to change a plan which the two of them had concocted I would consider it to be believable foreshadowing. Awkwardly delivered foreshadowing, but acceptable if you aren't highly sensitive to bits of bad story. But if it doesn't pan out like that, well I don't know what to say. It's not going to ruin the series for me. | ||

I hate to be so blunt about it, but kerrigan and many other characters in the series are too dumb to believe. | ||

She also doesn't seem to hate Zeratul as much as he dislikes her. This is probably the best part of it. Zeratul is inconsequential to her. At best, he's a minor nuisance; at worst, he's a joke. I'm wondering if it's just that the Queen of Blades is supremely overconfident or whether she was being manipulating by the Dark Voice. I still think Raynor is going to be the one to kill her in the end, even if it's something as melodramatic as sacrificing her (letting her die) to defeat the Dark Voice. Then again, I'm not so sure Raynor's going to make it, either. | ||

But I'm sure she'll be back to her former glory in HotS, but WoL wasn't about Kerrigan been awesome by making her enemies into unbelievable dumb, it was about making Jim look awesome by making his enemies unbelievably dumb. When we get back into HotS she will be the protagonist again where it will be her turn to win the SC special olympics. | ||

To be honest, I always disliked the Queen of Blades as decidedly un-zergy and felt she was only implemented as a marketing ploy to provide the inhuman zerg with a nice face and some boobs. | ||

Anyways, I found the campaign to be decent, I wasn't like nerd raging that it was a horrible product, but I guess it could be longer. Probably 7 more missions would have been nice. I want more single player stuff, 9 challenges is kind of too little. I hope blizzard inputs more challenges as patches go on | ||

I hope blizzard inputs more challenges as patches go on Have to agree, some of the missions lacked a bit of depth or we're just steamrolled through even on brutal (smash and grab for instant). The challenges I didn't really have a problem with par the ghost one for a little bit, but would love to see some more challenges in the patches/expansions, sometimes there just isn't anyone around you want to play with and laddering can get timersum every now and then. | ||
