The three races teaming up against some generic Sailor Moon villain.The UED showing up as either the villains or the heroes.Valerian, Artanis, and/or Zagara turning evil.Involving the xel'naga as a lazy plot device.Retconning the histories and motivations of the factions.New factions pulled out of the woodwork, like the Ihan-rii (and UED for that matter).

I can't even begin to predict the plot since it would inevitably be something really stupid, but I can make predictions of possible plot points that could happen since I was somehow able to predict the Ihan-rii retcon a few months before they were revealed. I have no idea what the plot would even be about, other than retconning SC2 into incoherence. Like rebooting it under a company that is known for competent storytelling.Īpparently the SC2 devs want to make a SC3. If you want to improve Starcraft, then you need suggestions that actually improve things rather than adding unnecessary detritus that serves no purpose than fueling sequelitis. Those new races will definitely be really stupid too, just like the existing ones. Assuming that Blizzard could devote resources to good storytelling in the first place, which they cannot.Īdding new races doesn’t make the lore any less stupid than it currently is. Adding new races will only exacerbate that problem by taking away resources from their development. The existing terrans, protoss and zerg suck ass. That doesn’t fix anything and it takes away attention from the existing three. Hell, there were originally intended to be five playable race armies in WC3 at one point, before they decided the Burning Legion didn't really work as one.Īnd WoW shat over the contributions of night elves and scourge. I fail to see how that poses some unprecedented and insurmountable obstacle. And WarCraft as an IP was about RTS conflict between orcs and humans (or Horde and Alliance as of WC2.) Until WC3 made it about RTS conflict between orcs, humans, night elves and Scourge.
