You will be let down if you liked the BW campaign over the WoL one gameplay wise :p. Doubt they suddenly switch back to mostly two hour base building maps with no time pressure at all. | ||

I think she's the female with psi blades ignited in the first picture. She refers to Artanis briefly in the trailer. Kind of disappointing that her and the other hierarchs from In Utter Darkness don't seem to be present, but I'm interested in Raszagal's daughter. | ||

SC2's campaign has been fantastic in the actual game-play but the story has been utterly atrocious. Case in point; Raynor swore to kill Kerrigan at the end of BW for betraying them and killing Fenix. First thing in SC2, he's still pining for her and Fenix is not mentioned once until the end of HotS. | ||

Blizzard's writers are terrible and they've said that they don't consider story an important enough component of games to justify hiring people that know one end of a pen from another. It's unfortunate, but we have to live with it. | ||

Does this mean Zeratul died and he is using Zeratul's blade? | ||

Either members of the Hierarchy use a green and blue blade to symbolize the fact they represent both halves of protoss culture, or he takes Zeratul's. If it's Zeratul's, I'd assume that either he tries to stop Artanis from invading Aiur(because it wastes protoss and zerg lives that could be used against Amon), or he's killed by hybrids as he's sifting through the ruins of Augustgrad. | ||

It's a safe assumption since they'd have to either downscale significantly or upscale ridiculously. Unless they take a long detour to wrap it up in LotV, the UED is still a dangling plot thread, and they could do something ridiculous like a fullscale Xel'naga invasion. Neither sound particularly good, and Morheim's said that he wants to move the company away from large WoW/SC2/D3 type games and focus entirely on small projects like Hearthstone, Heroes, and Overwatch. This is likely the last entry to the SC universe outside of Heroes type games. | ||
