As I understand it, Tychus was a last minute addition because of how popular the voice was in the promo. I never thought of Tychus as important. | ||

He said that as far as he was concerned, Tychus was dead and should stay dead; but that all the art guys and the dev guys thought he should come back and were busy creating stuff of Tychus "with tentacles sprouting out of his head." "We'll see who wins that battle in the end." So it's still relatively up in the air. However, an infested Tychus could actually pack some emotional wallop, as its not just "bringing him back"; an evil, infested Tychus fully under the control of the swarm, bitter and angry at Jimmy for what happened to him, could work. It fits with the theme of "sacrifice," as in order to rescue Kerrigan from the swarm, he leaves behind his best friend to be infested; just as Mengsk did to Kerrigan in the first place. So there's some interesting ambiguity there. We'll see, though... this could also work with one of the earlier missions... outbreak, tychus see an infested marine and goes something like "i dont like the thought of that" irony at its best yeah?  | ||

Because he and Jim had been good friends until Jim went legit and Tychus went to cryo? Then he dies a meaningless death which had no visible effect on anything. Aldaris was at least as important as Tychus, and then Blizzard just totally forget him after his dead, so I can see the same thing happening for Tychus. As I understand it, Tychus was a last minute addition because of how popular the voice was in the promo. I never thought of Tychus as important. Do you always need to treat everything in such binary way? "Oh well, there is this guy who tries to kill Kerrigan but he fails, so his role in the story is completely unimportant and he might have just as well not be in it at all." You used same argument for Brood War; "Well in the end UED is no more and Kerrigan still rules the Swarm, so that's like nothing happened." Sorry but that's plain bullshit, making a good story doesn't require world-changing events or a success for the main character(s). In fact stories where main character(s) don't achieve success are usually the most interesting. Yeah, Tychus fails to kill Kerrigan but his role in the story was putting him against Raynor character and moral-wise and vice versa, and show his struggle between loyalty to an "old friend" and "deal with the devil". And I doubt he was a last minute addition considering his figurine was released as part of the hype campaign three years before the game's release. | ||

In SC1, Tassadar sacrifices himself to destroy the plot's antagonist - The Overmind. But in SC2:WoL we are told that Tassadar "never tasted death". Tychus is dead. Raynor shot him in the face. THE FACE! He died so that Kerrigan may live. He could appear in flashbacks or return as Infested Tychus - but Raynor's friend Tychus Findlay should stay dead. Yea I was soooooo pissed they revived Tassadar.... Way to fuck up a good story. KILL SOME CHARACTERS FFS. Make the story have this "oh SHIIIIIT" feeling. | ||
