Duran's Speech in 'Dark Origin'

Sounds wierd, i didnt think the protoss are so warlike. Its like:

Protoss1: That guy may steal my candy...
Protoss2: Yeah lets attack our masters so we dont get our candy stolen.
Xel'Naga: WTF? PEW PEW. Time to leave...

 

I think it's more complicated then that. The Xel'Naga seem too sophisticated to let silly things like revenge and containment worry them. The Xel'Naga knew what they were doing, and considered the risks. To me, it feels like the attacks lead by the Protoss, and Zerg didn't affect them, or worry them. Why else would they let the attacks against them carry on so steady, especially if they are so advance? Think of it this way, if the overmind hadn't destroyed the Xel'Naga, it would not have gained all that scientific knowledge they previously acquired, and it wouldn't have been as great as it was. I think the Xel'Naga knew this, and accepted their fate.

Maybe there's more to the Xel'Naga then we all know. I believe they are pan-dimensional entities that can manifest bodies in the physical dimension . . . and Duran is one such body.

 

the problem is that if Duran is a XelNaga, then what is the 'far greater' power that he is serving...

 

i understand how he could study the zerg (he was serving kerrigan the whole campaigne) but when did he have a chance to study the protoss, maybe before the game begins, or maybe in a different form...

eerie..... eeirer than a door opening by itself and ur like "WTF that door just opened by itself!?!?"

 

Don't forget he's probably a few thousands years old. So he had the time to study both species since their creation I guess.

 

he was studying the protoss in the dark origin mission, he had them in test cells and he was experimenting with pylons.

 

Maybe Zeratul will go off searching for all the hybrid seeded worlds and then he will hear of an artifact that he would be able to use to easily kill the hybrids but this will be a trap and he will become corrupted by it and instead lead the hybrids on their galaxy dominating quest

The Burning Legion

 

but how the hell did Duran managed to make himself look like a Terran? maybe the Xel'Naga also had an experiment on Humanity. or so i thought.

 

I'm sure he was pretty much done experimenting Protoss in Dark Origin, considering he already managed to seed Hybrids in many planets.

 

Yes, lots of fans agree on that Duran is a servant of the Xel'Naga, so basically the experiment with the Protoss was done milleniums ago, and so was the experiments with the Zerg. What they are now trying to do is to finish off their job long time ago. ie, Create the perfect race by merging a Protoss and a Zerg. The Xel's appointed servant Duran seeded many hybrids across many worlds, so the ''grand experiment'' is a complete success.

 

I think it's nearly obvious that Duran's a Xel or their servant cuz if he wasn't they would probably have to add another faction, which I'm sure that Blizzard wouldn't want to do unless they were planning on a threequel, or more. Adding another faction just screws up the story.

 

it'd be really funny if blizzard people were reading this thread and used paragon's idea....

 

I think Blizzard made more questions than they could answer when they included this mission.

 

Yeah, and they already wrote all the dialog for that for warcraft 3 so they're set. I mean, that game is like 5 years old, whose going to remember the dialog/plot anyways. Surefire win/win for blizzard. Everything will think it's a great original plot with fresh dialog, and blizzard wont have to write a new plot or dialog.

 

XelNaga Ftw I want to see them in sC2 For they are a great thing to have in this kind of dull story i want to see how the 3 races will try to defeat them by like forming together

 

I just had a thought and since SC has taken from Warhammer 40K so much...

What if the Xel Naga are like the Necrons....they created creatures that would breed so they could eventually come to harvest them...Just an idea...

I think the xel-naga were never really "defeated" I think they let their creations only think it...

But Im insane anyway so pay not attention...

 

that doesnt fit the fluff of the XelNaga, Xel are not interested in killing anything, only creating

 

They really dont know what the Xel'Naga are really like...you can only go off the opinions of the overmind and the conclave....but who really knows...think of it this way...they created cattle...

 

Ok one thing u guys need to understand 1st off we dont know that the Xel'Naga are a protoss/zerg lookin race they just found the protoss they didnt create the protoss they found them then pushed there civilization in the way they wanted them to and the zerg were created from a larva the Xel'naga found on the world of Char

 

Exactly correct Deadpool. The Xel'Naga discovered the primitive Protoss that lived like any wild animal. Then the Xel were interested in their natural psionic talents and engineered them to an advanced, thriving civilization (although there were devastations from time to time). Given that fact, I'd still think of the Xel as the creators/masters of the Protoss because without them, the Protoss will be nothing like the ones we have in the game.

The same goes with Zerg. The primitive larvas are practically useless, they can't even defend themselves properly let alone attacking others. It is until the Xel were interested in their purity of essence, and assisted the larvas in their evolution by combining the genes of other creatures. Then it become the Zerg we are famililar with in the game. The same again I'd still consider the Xel as the most important identities in the development of the Zerg.

So Duran, as a servant of the Xel'Naga, didn't really "create" the Hybrids. He merely "mix and match" the genes of creatures they found before
