Not unexpectedly though, knowing Blizzard

. That's what I like about them though; Blizzard seem to be the only game developers left that NEVER compromise on quality. Only the very best will do, and I'm content with waiting if it will show in the final product.
Except for writing
SC2 had the most horribly cliche writing I've ever seen. And some really retarded plot turns to boot.
Ugh, one of the conversations was so bad it made my mind shut down and reboot:
"Tell me why I shouldn't kill you right now!"
"Because I can give you (DRAMATIC TURN) what you always wanted!"
To be honest games have always had a lower standard of writing than other mediums, primarily because it is further and further away from writing itself.
When the poets started, the storytellers complained.
When the novelists started, the poets complained.
When the playrights started, the novelists complained.
When the composers started, the playrights complained.
When the screenwriters started, the composers complained.
When the video game writers started, the screenwriters complained.
Ad nauseam.
