Episode 5 the Terran Campaign was the most boring ever... I couldn't stand it at all. I mean what kind of Admiral trusts a renegade Lietunant over the Stukov guy? And of course we know that Duran has been planning that from god knows when... I wish my schemes would work like there's do.:cool:
It was missions like these that made me wish Blizzard games were more open-ended. How fun would it have been to choose to either side with Stukov or kill him. The last time I remember getting to choose anything like that was in the Night Elf campaign in Frozen Throne where you either get to choose to go the long way, or the shorter yet more dangerous way. Kinda lame.
Yeah, I've read the first three, and there's a new series of them coming out. I didn't like the first one as much cause it was based on the storyline of the Terran campaign but only too loosely. And it was kind of disappointing cause you already know how it's all going to end. But it was still kind of fun to read cause it compliments the story of the Terran campaign.
The second one was fairly interesting. It had a cool female Protoss character who befriends a female Terran who has latent psi powers. It was pretty fun to read I thought.
Speed of Darkness is really bleak and mildly depressing but I actually enjoyed it just because it talks about the life of a Terran Marine and shows how dangerous their line of work is. Oh, and how crazy they are too.
Dam Siaynoq you bring up awesome points. I was thinking a lot of the same stuff, but it just wasn't as clear to me. I fuckin hate how they all play right into the Kerrigan's plans... She said she changed and that was good enough for them all...
My favorite is Tassadar. If he were in Brood War he woulda fucked some people up before he sided with the Queen of Blades. I miss him:(
What does 'En taro Adun' mean? I know they always say that, but then Artanis says 'En taro Tassadar' in the expansion. Perhaps its just a saying...
Thanks man. Yeah, it's difficult to play Brood Wars just cause all the characters are being stupid.
En taro Adun, I'm not sure exactly what it means in the Protoss language. But it's somet like "In honor of Adun". Adun was they legendary warrior who was supposed to kill the rogue Protoss tribes but couldn't bring himself to do it and instead hid them. But it was believed by the Conclave that he got rid of them anyway. Thus, the Dark Templar and High Templar both honor him. Just like Tassadar is honored for his heroic sacrifice and that's where En taro Tassadar comes in.
I thought it was funny when Mengsk rescues the Duke and Mengsk is like, "Join my army." The Duke is like, "Pfft, whatever, I'm an uber general of the Confederation." Then Mengsk is like, "Oh, c'mon!" And the Duke is like, "Well, okay."
Like in the end Mengsk totally underestimated the Duke's apathy. Even to the point of never suspecting the Duke might stick a knife in Mengsk's back.
I'm not sure if we're talking about units or characters, but a couple of my favorite characters were Raynor and Daggoth. These two I liked because they were the most level-headed and least naive of all the other characters.
I'd like to say Zeratul was one of my favorites, or any of the Protoss, but they piss me off too much in Brood Wars cause they're all like, "Yay, Kerrigan has changed. And her plan to have us help rebuild her army totally makes sense so we can all defeat the UED." And when Aldaris defects because he doesn't trust Kerrigan, you're just like, "Duh!" And it pissed me off how you always have to do all these missions that are just ill-fated and asinine.
Raynor at least trusted Kerrigan the least. And I enjoyed watching the camaraderie between hin and Fenix.
Then Daggoth I liked for maybe more superficial reasons. Such as his cool voice, especially when he's like, "I will deal with the Protoss myself."
