She's not interesting, well-written, or well-acted, but she's bland rather than outright bad. That description could also fit Dehaka.

I liked Zagara as well, as one of the few Zergs smart enough to go "Oh poo poo I'm losing, can I join instead of being killed ruthlessly?"

Purge the colony. I'm pretty sure it's the only occurrence in the WoL campaign of the Aberration unit.

Kurieg posted:And because he quite frankly doesn't give two shits about Kerrigan's motivation as long as he has races to devour. Abathur appeals to so many players not because he talks like a yoda robot, but because he's about the ruthless efficiency of the swarm, his thoughts are pragmatic, he acts out of curiosity, yet he still has some pride to his work, and is envious when he learns of Stukov and actually wants to learn from the terrans. Abathur is the evil overseer everybody wants to have because he has a job he loves doing, and doesn't think about willy nilly things like "becoming queen instead of the queen". He takes on the role of Swan in HOTS, but is the complete opposite character wise, he's really there to give us that "bossman" feeling in charge of a big company. "Will simulate financial consequences, development plans are mutually exclusive, one must be chosen, the other must fall." Samuel fucked around with this message at 10:34 on Dec 7, 2014 |

George posted:It looks like Samuel has edited the worst of it out of his post. It was pretty bad before. Yeah, this. Looking at the time stamps, he edited his post before anyone else said anything, which is good. I didn't actually watch the youtube clip, but I can infer that a "best of" character compilation about a plot-critical character is going to have spoilers in it. Look, personally Samuel, I don't take the game seriously enough to get majorly butt hurt about spoilers, but it's the principle of the thing. You should be respecting the OP's rules since he's putting in so much effort to play the game and make an entertaining thread.

Yeah, let's all try to stop talking about Heart of the Swarm's campaign in any term more specific than 'shameful plot but really well designed gameplay' which I think we can pretty well agree on? Also if you dislike any given Starcraft character they're probably going to die in Legacy of the Void so at least you've got that going for you.

chiasaur11 posted:Hey, we can live in hope. Hrm. I still like Zeratul and Artanis, personally. Especially since Zeratul has this air of "I can't believe I have to guide them through this bullshit prophecy/I can't believe this is our only hope" in all his appearances. Hell, as we just saw, his entire response to Tassadar's words was "… Sure, whatever you say." in the most disbelieving tone you'll ever hear out of a Protoss. It's like he knows he's the last sane one left and he's desperately trying to convince the writers he's buying the bullshit they're having him say just so they don't gently caress with his brain, but he just can't put his heart into it.

Save the colony. Because the Protoss are more or less like the Eldar, and you should take any chance you get to kill Eldar.
