Official speculation thread about Kerrigan

So as we all know Wings of Liberty ends with a damn big cliffhanger (dont you just hate them?) about Kerrigan.

So now questions about her de-infestations are appearing :

-is it a full cure?Her dreads in the video are still there,she didn't get back her red hair.Was that just a game thing ?Was it a full cure but they cant quite the hair also?
-Or is it just a temporary fix and she will transform back to her old hybrid self in no time?
-If she is cured,did she loose control over the swarm?How much does infestation amplify her psychic powers?

-Can she still control all the zergs?Part of them?None of them?
-Will she try to get infested again?As in cant live with the guilt and much rather be the queen ***** of the universe again?I mean apart from Jimmy no one else loves her.

She cant really sit around at a table with the protoss/terrans etc and have a drink and say..hey remember that time when i killed about a gazillion people ?

Anyway what do you guys think about the subject? I for one hope she stays human and can still control a minor part of the scourge.Then i hope shes going to somehow **** the hybrids over and start ruling the universe again

 

Spoiler alert!!

 

I think that she will still controll the zerg, as the zerg campaign will be about her.

 

Well from the flash back missions with Zeratul i guess your right.Tasadar says the zerg are not actually evil and she was created to save them(and the whole universe from the xel naga) so who knows.

I cant wait to play that campaign,terrans are my favorite multy player race,but her storyline is by far the most interesting.

 

lol i was kind of dissapointed the game had a wonderful storyline of mystery betrayal and action but when i found out she would be returned to a human i was like wtf, then you had to go and kill typhus to. damnnnnn plus i hated how there were like a hundred loose ends. the dominion will be shattered or at least a new ruler will jim be lowed to live idk kinda crazy. I love your speculations as they sound pretty actuate as to what they could possibly do with a human kerrigan. I found a really funny post you should all find it very ironicly funny as its completely right

This is no reason to think she will be human again at the end of it - although I do admit, given Blizzards obsession with incredibly lame cliched endings, the final cinematic (of the Protoss campaign when it comes out) will probably have something to do with Jim and human Kerrigan walking off into the rising sun, with the trampled overmind/xel'naga/hybrid thing off in the distance...

 

-I think it's a "full cure" in that she's no longer Zerg. But I think the experience will leave her powerful, powerful enough to stop the Xel Naga. Note that I also don't think this means she's no longer the Queen of Blades. Nothing anywhere says the QoB has to be zerg, after all

-I think initially she loses control of the swarm, but eventually regains it. I expect this to be the subject of the Zerg campaign. She will regain control of the swarm and increase her own talents in preparation to face down the Xel Naga.

-I hope to God she doesn't get infested again. I'll curse Blizzard the rest of my life if she does. The guilt she will feel will be terrible, but she's a psionic being. You ever feel guilty about something and felt no one could ever forgive you? She has an advantage because she will see and feel the forgiveness in Raynor's mind and how much he loves her. And I think if he can save her from the zerg, he can save her from her own guilt. He just has to make her understand it wasn't her fault...she was under an alien influence and her human personality was enslaved.

-I hope and desire for her to remain human and to, with time, find her redemption.

 

You know, a lot of us are disgusted with Blizzard's "betray your neighbor" and "corrupt all that is good in the world" type story telling. I'm thrilled Kerrigan is de-zerged, it's without a doubt the best ending to the campaign they could've come up with.

And Tychus was an ***. He lied to his good friend for the entire campaign and then tried to murder the woman he loves after everything he went through to get her back. That SOB earned his bullet.

 

I think her story will initially be like Seven of Nine being disconnected from the Borg collective. She will be unstable in that she will have her moments of wanting to go back to the swarm, and willing to betray her human friends.

Her Zerg cells will be far stronger than her human ones, kept at bay only because they are in a minority. But cells which non the less can be activated by external factors. Contrasting this, human emotion will be more powerful than any residual Zerg instinct.

Her value to the terrans is that she fully understands the Zerg. But I do not think one who was once queen of so many would be willing to play such a submissive role for the terran army for very long.

No, she will choose freedom, and any who try to control her or use her will be defeated. She will rebuild her strengths from the ground up, as an independent chaotic agent with complex alliances with all three races. We will follow her as she seeks to restore her psionic powers, perhaps taking something from the protoss to that end. And what will emerge from her campaign will be an new elite brood that firmly establishes itself in the Koprulu sector.

In her growing quest for power, we may witness her fuse with Zeratul, evolving into a strange new Archon, that will dominate the Protoss campaign.

To Be Continued...

 

Well, first, sorry for my 'not so good' English.
But i got a theory about Kerrigan.

In the midle of history, i´ve forgot wich mission, Matt says that Tychus have been scanned and they found an implant on him.
Jym say its okay.

Well, i think, Jym faced Tychus about that implant, but he did that hidden from cameras, and not like they bar fight, and they workedout a plann in the backstages.

So, my point is, Jym knew about Tychus conditions and what he has to do when time comes.
So, at the end, Jym didnt shoot him at the head, he shooted him at some critical video/radio device on Tychus armor, cos Tychus says: "are you receiveng this?", and Valerian answer "do your job' or something like that.

Tychus shoot only ONCE (very weird as some1 said), Jym blocks. All planned.
1 shoot, Kerrigan supossed dead, Jym fights back, 1 shoot, Tychus dead, all that Valerian wanted, he couldnt asked for more.:daydreaming:

In the end, Jym, Tychus and Kerrigan, all alive, Terran´s DreamTeam is up, or it would be Zerg´s DreamTeam?
I dont hink Blizz would give a short live to a character like Tychus.
And the battle is not against each race, its against the Xel'Naga, or perhaps the Protoss´s major faction got corrupted or controlled by Xel´Naga? :wacko:
So the Heart of the Swarm could use this trio, starring Kerrigan and Jym and Tychus as co-stars. Would be awesome.

 

Hello, everyone, new member on the party. I just finished the Wings of Liberty Campaign Mode, and decided to join some forum to discuss it, and now, here I am. Now, without further ado...

I think the dreads are a definite proof she still retains some Zerg qualities... I think she probably lost most of her power over the Swarm, though... Didn't Blizzard say the Heart of the Swarm Campaign would focus on mutating Kerrigan, getting access to new powers, RPG-style? I think that means she'll try and recover her "Queen of Blades" power, without losing her humanity, so she can atone for her sins... I mean, Kerrigan is supposed to be the pivotal piece in the defeat of the Fallen One, and as the Queen of Blades she's much more fitting for the role...

While she slowly recovers her powers, and control over the Swarm, she'll have to deal with what she's done in the past, and what she is intended to do. Mengsk wants her dead, the Protoss have a "there is no cure" policy when it comes to Zerg, not to mention the fact she helped desecrate their Home World, and the Hybrids know she's the only one who can get in their way... Basically the only ones on her side right now are Raynor and Zeratul, and even those two might not be convinced to help her recover her powers...

As for the fate of the Swarm, now that they lost their leader (again)... I think we may see some Hybrids waking up and taking control of Zerg forces (effectively making new "Broods"), and the Dominion might get some for themselves...

 

I think that heart of the swarm is a prequel to the Terran campaign. Why have her get infested again after all that trouble in getting her uninfested? I honestly would prefer another Terran campaign.

 

First of all, I think next part will be right after the previous, after Kerrigan's deinfestation. Because Blizzard told it many times, and because, hey, it's not so interesting to play if you know the final result
Some thought disapoints me a little: if we look back in the previous Terran campaigns (SC 1, SC: Brood War), all achievments is lost soon after:
Original Starcraft results: Kerrigan is infested, Mengsk is an imperor and betrayer.
Brood War results: Overmind is captured and controlled by UED, Mengsk lost his empire; but soon after, in Zerg campaign, Mengsk returns, Overmind destroyed, UED destroyed. So, again, all what Terrans done is lost.
What we have now: Kerrigan is deinfested, but, as Blizzard said, Zerg campaign will be led by Kerrigan. In my opinion, it will be redevelopment of Kerrigan as the Zerg Queen: player will be developing Kerrigan's abilities, learn to control new creatures, etc. So, again, in the end we'll have fully powered Kerrigan - Zerg Queen. Maybe she'll be loyal to Raynor Raiders, but maybe we'll see her betrayal again (don't want it to happen really).
