In fact, a LOT of voices should be reworked to be better. Fenix voice-like as protoss advisor would be sick too. | ||

She's nowhere near as epic as he was. I thought Kerrigan's voice in BW was pretty good. Also, I didn't play HotS campaign, but Stukov is in it apparently? If so that's cool. | ||

With that being said, I 100% support the notion of new voices. Free/paid, just give us some more customization! I know I would definitely fork out some money for an Overmind voice. | ||

I loathe when games bring back dead or no longer relevant characters for absolutely nothing more than fanservice. WOL didn't need that shit, they introduced all new characters and then took the time to develop them into something we should care about. Even goofy little bit players like Swann and stedman were deeper than anything on the leviathan Honestly, even abathur was only just tolerable because he acted and sounded alien, like zerg should (dehaka was similarly alien but didn't feel zerg-ey, though that was obviously the intent, he just had no depth.) Every single character in HOTS had no arc whatsoever (kerrigan's was paper thin) and were designed to be way too "human" Eisha was like a cheese grater to the gonads. The only characters with depth in HOTS were Valerian and Raynor, which even goes further to distinguish WOL as the better story. Overall it was still a good game, but the plot and depth of character development were nowhere near WOL, which I guess is why it stood out as so substandard to me (along with the instantaneous, no-internal-struggle switch of kerrigan from human to zerg queen again, pissing all over everything Jim did in WOL. Even his direct quote "I moved heaven and earth to get you back" didn't ring in her ears as she drank the primal kool-aid) replayed them both recently and HOTS was a little more tolerable once I'd taken it all in, but it still feels like it's setting itself up for a really, really bad deus ex machina of an ending in LOTV. God I hope I'm wrong. I could go on for days as to how HOTS could have been made into an unbelievably good story with only a little tweaking, but this is about LOTV and abathur's voice, which I still think feels very much like zerg. Nothing zerg has really hisses, so why should the voice. It's not like there is no female voice in SCII, the adjuctant is perfect. | ||

Is it beneficial to make a similar thread on the official forums and link it to this one (and, if anything, is such behaviour frowned upon)? From the poll results I can make a conclusion that such a change is indeed a wanted one (marketable voice packs didn't really cross my mind before, it might be a cool idea), so it seems logical to spread the word further. Re-posting on other community sites is generally well received. I can't speak to whether Blizzard reads TL as much as reddit and the b.net forums, but my gut tells me they don't. Someone else might have different info on that though. | ||

Let the community do it. Saves them money, makes us happy, will not help anybody hack. Client side so it only affects the user. Skins would be neat too. Community's been making its own wicked skins since Quake 2 and probably way before. Within certain achievable criteria, custom models would be cool too, as long as the game didn't replace burrowed or cloaked models. To be honest, I consider SC2's unit sound effects generally a step back from the first game. I would consider a complete audio rehaul a major, major buying feature if they did it. SC2's audio is very uninteresting and ineffective. Contrast it to: Dawn of War 1, Brood War, Quake, Homeworld 1 Easier said than done, but: hire a new audio guy | ||

I replayed that campaign just to go through all the conversations with him again. This would be absolutely brilliant. Except for the fact that Abathur's idea was rather unzergy - this is swarm after all. Overmind didn't need him. | ||
