1. Did they expect Kerrigan to become that popular and has this had an impact on how they decided to write the story for future SC 2 lore/campaigns? Such as it will be harder for Raynor to get a "happy ending and getting the girl - Kerrigan back"? 2. When she was created, was it "planned" to make her a new iconic figure in Blizzard or did she just happened to be liked by all fans and grew to be a big figure in Blizzard universe? | ||

What they have changed to the HOTS script in response to the very negative reception to WoL's shitty writing? I have the same complaint about WoL for sure, but I think you have to be a little more cooperative to get such a question answered. Surely their answer to a jab like that will be a generic "We're really proud of the storylines we're developing and we hope you like them as much as we do." In a similar vein though I would ask if they're going to keep the same approach to campaign progress and mission selection as WoL. I felt like the branching-in-almost-no-particular-order design of the WoL campaign painted the writers into a corner because there were too many potential paths through the same missions. This made it difficult for the plot to reference past events (because even "required" missions may or may not have been played yet) and forced all the character's motivations to be very local. I want to know if they were happy with that design decision and whether they'll be taking the same approach or maybe shifting to a more traditional linear/branching (rather than... web?) design for HotS. Of course that says nothing about the admittedly cheesy plot  | ||

I would like to enlight the following arguments : - Zerg now have viper's blinding cloud and abduct as a hardcounter to tanks - Protoss only had difficulties early game against tank, but it gone with the MSC photon overcharge - Terran bio had difficulties against mech, but its gone thanks to medivac speed. And they could give back a medivac heal upgrade. | ||

Also, can we expect something like a "reversed terran holdout" where we take the Zerg attacking side of the popular bunker-up-and-survive missions? | ||

(Just to specifiy  )Last edit there were also vultures!!! Never forget them :'( There were scourges in the zeratul missions And scouts  but kinda hoping for a lot more old school bw units as well. | ||

Edit: @imPermanenCe I remember them now too  so many cool units that have no relevance for the true game. I have to play the campaign again to have fun with the little wraiths | ||

Any question is cool and I'll be working the list of what to ask until we get to the interview. Not sure if I can disclose the exact time/date so just keep posting. Even if we don't get a chance to ask a question, I'll try to read through them all to see if they were answered in the opening presentation or another portion. Also we may find an opportunity to answer a question when we are doing the post write up. Just trying to see what people are curious about in all aspects of the game. Also I think a some of the lore questions may be answered in the Creative Q&A series Blizzard has been posting. | ||

- Can we expect somes missions were we control two races at once (like Raynor's Terran and Kerrigan's Zerg) ? - Does the building will be upgradable like the units ? (Like hatch producing more larva or can defend herself) - Does Kerrigan will be able to change her form (between the "ghost form" shows in 2011 and the "swarm form" shows couple of months later) in every mission, or at some point she'll just evolved for the rest of the campaign ? - In the Beta UI, we have Kerrigan's ghost form in lab, can we expected to have more animated wallpaper (maybe "Kerrigan's swarm form with somes zergs running around" unlocked after complainting the campaign ?) - Compair to WoL, will be more or less cinematics/in-game cutscenes ? | ||

Will the unit be less one dimensional when you unlock them, as stated before, when you got the X unit in WoL, you knew you could just spam this unit and win the next mission. | ||
