It would be like the Leviathan or Omegalisk taking out a whole army, which is perfectly plausible honestly. His power level is being exaggerated. He retreated to regain strength after the fight with the army in the books (so that blizzard could use him later if they desired of course). He didn't just trounce them. He would be perfectly fine as a boss enemy like the Leviathan. He also recruits/enslaves fellow protoss to continue his nefarious, traitorous end. He'd be a fun sidevillain. | ||

Okay, it's fun to have a dark archon as an enemy, but this feels a little convenient. | ||

Maar mind-controlling a small Protoss colony is a decent reason to have a single PvP mission, but you can't have all PvP missions in LotV be about Hybrids mind-controlling different Protoss tribes; you need an actual story arc for PvP. A major conflict between Zeratul and Ulrezaj could be this story arc- or maybe Blizzard will choose to use a different one and pass up Ulrezaj entirely. With the information we have so far, however, I believe fighting Ulrezaj is the most likely story arc for PvP in LotV. The PvP could be zeratul having to fight other protoss tribes to prove his strength or whatever. Also the tal darmim dont like DT's, so theres always that reason. | ||

The heros like Urun, Mohandir, Selendis and Artanis are introduced there before WoL. And it actually gives reasonable doubt on Aduns and Tassadar death/ascension/reincarnation - whatever u want to call it. From my understanding the Tal'Darim in the books are the ones form Aiur, who escaped and became the ones from WoL  Played the WoL-campaign like 3 times, and i liked it every time. Looking forward to HotS | ||

Oh wow so u can make archons with more then 2 i never knew that cool, i know this may sound stupid when but auir was close to being overrun, couldnt all the remaining templars and dark templars(we know they can fuse in sc2, but i know they didnt really like them in sc1 till auir was dead and they had no choice then eventually grew to accept them, so many not the dark templars) fused into this one massive super archon and tired that way, i mean even if this Ulrezaj was already super strong before the fusion, and he fused with really really strong friends, wouldnt like 10000000 templar kinda achieve a higher lvl, maybe then they could have saved auir, and at least tried it in the final protoss mission "utter darkness"(which i dont get how the warp gates work, why do u need to pay to send troops over if everywhere else is dead and this is the final battle ground, i guess the real answer is it is a game lol but still....) | ||

It would be like the Leviathan or Omegalisk taking out a whole army, which is perfectly plausible honestly. Even that's implausible. Unless Leviathan is like the size of a Death Star (or even a tenth the size, that would still be dozens of times larger than a Battlecruiser), which would be plausible I guess, but Omegalisk, there's no way to make it plausibly able to take out thousands and thousands of soldiers / fighting vehicles. | ||

The Terrans in general just have bad storylines and human stupidity to deal with - the only "omfg" moment was sarah "dying". The Zerg and Protoss story, however, was pretty good. The Terran campaign simply set the scene for the Zerg/Protoss struggle to start.Go and play the original starcraft. Then try and type that sentence without feeling dirty.
