Possibilities for expansion[Spoilers(Obviously)]

Spoiler: Campaign spoiler

As everyone knows Kerrigan is human again, and as zeratul said, she was the key, and if she died the universe is doomed. Well so it made you wonder, is she still going to have some power over the zerg? Or will the zerg go rampant? I think I may have found a clue

I have a feeling they will build on that, and try to in a way control the zerg, or have kerrigan do so..


Thoughts?

who is they? I don't think Raynor will let her get involved with the protoss/dominion, so somehow I doubt it

Thanks for the spoiler. Added tags...

 

[punwisp]

She will have to get involved


EDIT:

How is it a spoiler? , what exactly is it even spoiling?

Its not even spoiling the story any really

Read your first sentence and think about how it is not a spoiler (for ppl who didnt play/finish the campaign).

 

[punwisp]

Ohh ok, rofl I was thinking he was talking about the picture xD

 

[Sim]

It is quite clear to me that this is a certain path they will take, considering what happened at the end of the WoL campaign and the fact that Heart of the Swarm is a Zerg campaign.

Spoiler

If you extrapolate a little bit, with no current leader, there has to be someone controlling those Zerg for the story to continue. Either Kerrigan, or the Dominion, or the Hybrids, and/or a combination of all three might want to control the whole race.

@sqrage

You quite went for that spoiler though. Entering an expansion thread quite literaly puts you at risk of being spoiled what happens before the expansion it's talking about!

 

[sqrage]

I know, I wasn't really angry. I never care about spoilers, seeing and hearing are two different things. Just looking out for other people that might actually care.

I was under the impression that the text written in these 'logs' were just insights into the type of research that were being done. In this case, the second paragraph refers to the building which you can research that slows the movement or nearby zerg. The third paragraph (the highlighted one) refers to the research for the building which allows you to mind control zerg units. I don't think these 'logs' are intended as anything more than that.

 

[punwisp]

An assumption that could be true or false. It could refer to either, also remember the mind control technology was in the first game, in the campaign. But even if it refers to that building, it still doesn't really change anything. It gives them the ability to control them, thus, lead onto what we are talking about.

that text is used referring to the mind control device you can select with zerg research. the information progresses as you collect more research, and it says something like that before each upgrade

 

[punwisp]

Hmm

i don't think theyd try to go on that road AGAIN. if we all remember the UED tried to clone another overmind to control the zerg and we all know how that turned out.

I think that kerrigan is still, in fact, evil. only difference now i think is that she has her human emotions back so shes gunna be all womanly and act upon her emotions.

also, in the text you highlighted: "not enough to clone the overmind"
also raynor would never use the zerg against anybody. if you recall correctly the only reason he left mengsk is because he 1. let kerrigan die and 2. he used the zerg against humans. if he did hed lose all his principles and it would destroy his character story wise. and you cant say dominion because something makes me doubt that raynor would give up his mind controlling tech to the dominion

last post in that - "we have to transition the fiction a little bit. Kerrigan is not worried about credits. Nor is she worried about tech upgrades or research. This is not part of the Zerg biology and economy. Kerrigan should be worried about how she’s going to evolve her swarm. Exactly how we’re going to do that from a story perspective but more importantly how do we make that feel like a fundamentally different mechanic is the challenge we’re facing in the coming months working on Heart of the Swarm."

also, for possibilities for expansion, 'HEART' of the swarm might have something to do with kerrigan's love.... FOR KILLING. or jim raynor, whatever.

 

[punwisp]

i think the person jim was looking for in kerrigan is back, but you may be correct, she may still have control, but it can be hard to tell. Shes essentially human again, shes lost a lot she could previously do. Shes def not the infested evil kerrigan anymore, but more than likely she will keep a couple traits, but shes pretty much herself again. However we don't know how there gonna do this soo..

 

[Viikuna]

Its kinda obvious that they are trying to pussify zerg for some future "World of Starcraft" -game. Like they turned orcs to be good guys in wc3.

So Kerrigan will be good, and now shes only level 1. ( Because theres no idea to do any leveling stuff for a girl whos already the strongest being in the universe. They did something similiar to Arthas in TFT Undead -campaign, because he was already level 10. )

Campaign will be about Kerrigan mutating ( leveling, like in WoW ) herself and becoming Queen of Blades again. She will probably be good this time and sacrice herself to save the universe from Hybrids and breake Jimmys heart and stuff like that.

Anyone else think that the first few missions will be about what Kerrigan was doing while WoL was going on? I know it wasn't any epic battles, but maybe something else was going on, they never really said much about what she was doing. Or am I missing something?
Also, I seriously hope her hair turns back normal, looks to weird being zerg hair in human form. On topic, maybe Kerrigan will act like the psi disrupter did in SC1, can only control the zerg she's relatively close to
