EPTNo the Nydus Worm is to far behind him to kill him directly.
The Marine (i guess the Wilhelm scream one) is stopmed by the Ultra while he looks back on the Nydus.

Thanks a lot for putting together all this info/artwork for the campaign. I always loved the story of Starcraft/Broodwar and felt let down by WoL's story line. The Q&A with the lead writer for HotS that are being posted regularly for a few months now give me hope again that HotS will be better. Also, @Denda, your wallpaper rocks. I have it in my desktop wallpapers folder for rotation now, I really love it. | ||

I was thinking lately about how Kerrigan wanted Raynor to succeed in Wol ("don't give up!") and then in HotS wanting to become one of the Zerg once again. If it was only the deinfestation, that would be... well, not nonsense, but from the perspective of a writer a bit weird. Maybe that again confirms that the de-infestation was just a side effect and Kerrigan meant the true purpose of the artifact, hoping to have it's effect. Maybe she hoped on the removal of the influence from Darkvoice? Or ist it just that Blizz wanted to portray her in a inner conflict, with having 2 personalities or just not being sure what she wants? Infested Kerrigan was straight-up, no remorse. Sure, she could show mercy, and she'd spare Raynor, yes, but I think she might kill him if it had been convenient for her. She is not being kind, in other words. Human Kerrigan is a bit more complex. She still has the anger, but now, she also feels the need for revenge. Kindregan answered in one of the Q&As that he considered the Queen of Blades and human Kerrigan to be two different persons. QOB doesn't need to kill Mengsk, because he doesn't pose a threat to her (in her opinion, anyway). But human Kerrigan has the need for revenge. However, she has the room for being less... evil now. She is therefore a somewhat more interesting character than QOB. What the artifact truly is, I don't know (I've given up guessing). We'll see there.

It's easy to be confused, but no, I'm pretty sure the Ultralisk kills him (not that it matters). He's facing the Ultras, the Nydus pops up, he turns around and look ups (this is significant) and the Ultralisk he now has turned his back to stomps him. | ||

Kindregan himself said that they are the same personality :OO just under the influence of the zerg mutagen but still. and if there were 2 personalities, QoB would take over, cause she's stronger. (his words) | ||

Question: In StarCraft, the Queen of Blades told Mengsk that she isn't interested in revenge. Why is killing him suddenly her life's purpose, according to the most recent trailer? Answer: The Queen of Blades and Sarah Kerrigan are not quite the same person. The Queen of Blades is essentially Sarah Kerrigan under the influence of some devastating forces: incredible power, a dominating level of psi energy, and the presence of Zerg mutagen from the cellular level up. To be clear, the Queen of Blades is not a separate entity that possessed Kerrigan. Kerrigan is (certainly in her mind) responsible for the terrible things she's done. She has immense guilt for those actions, but she was not completely in her "right mind" in Brood War. All of that is a roundabout way of saying the Queen of Blades felt no need to kill Mengsk. She did not see him as a threat. Sarah Kerrigan, on the other hand, knows that Mengsk wants her dead, and she very much holds a grudge for his abandoning her on Tarsonis. | ||

Sorry i expressed myself wrong. Ofc, the personality is different, but it is still Sarah, not some kind of "a demon that possessed it's host". My point was that at least some part of Sarah was in QoB... and, following Kindregans statement, the majority still is. Also, Sarah was changed when transformed into the QoB, but not replaced by another mind. | ||

Also, Sarah was changed when transformed into the QoB, but not replaced by another mind. You are heading into quite a metaphysical quandry with all this talk about "mind" and such. Here is an easy way to think about the situation without assuming too many things: Old Sarah: Human emotions. Subjective mentality. QoB: Old Sarah's memories. No emotions (besides maybe things like survival-based anger). Objective-based mentality (swarm-like). New Sarah: Old Sarah's memories. Few or No QoB memories. Human-like emotions. Unknown mentality (probably subjective and moving into hybrid as she regains memories/powers?). | ||

The New Sarah has only the memories of that time left, and her emotions towards the swarm (she rejoins) are new, but triggered because of her past ----> memories. Sorry, i didn't want to go into metaphysics :D With mind i mean her brain and consciousness remains the same. (didn't it?) | ||

On the other hand, HOTS might be an argument that Kerrigan is completely evil now, and that the difference in form becomes insignificant, given a long enough timeline. | ||

As I see it, the QOB has two primary attributes: that she talks and behaves like she is the Queen Bitch of the Universe, but also that she truly believes it when she says it. I think we're going to see a lot of that still, but mixed with some doubt and remorse now. On the other hand, HOTS might be an argument that Kerrigan is completely evil now, and that the difference in form becomes insignificant, given a long enough timeline. Yeah, I think it will most likely explore that duality of the old human and old QoB she used to be. I think her emotional connection to the swarm will be like a mother to her child. She will obviously still have some type of species-driven connection to them as well as she can still control and share information with them through some means. But now she feels remorse, doubt, revenge and empathy as well. She is basically a human that has god-like powers thrust onto her which will explore the psyche moving from subjective to objective knowledge (limited to complete). Will be interesting for sure but who knows how well Blizzard will acknowledge, integerate or explore this. Edit: fixed typo. | ||

But she has not turned simply "good". It's more complex that that, she was on both sides (terran/zerg) and is emotionally torn between them. And each of the sides had different emotions: for the terrans she had hate cause of Mengsk, but love cause of Raynor. In the demo that Blizz showcased Kerri asked why Abathur lets the Zerglings suffer that he kills because they were "useless". Still, she fucked up this moral thing in killing Lassara and didn't let a Protoss survive (okay, she was afraid of the Armada, but still...) And i think Kerrigan understands that her role in the sector is way too important to just let the swarm go insane and rogue without her. She would have to sacrifice her human part eitherway, if she is interested in the balance of the sector or even the prophecy. | ||
