I'm sorry but if the bro to ho choices weren't so stacked in Kerrigans favor....

On Raynor choosing Kerrigan to save the universe, the Zeratul crystal missions are actually optional. Even if you do not play them such that Raynor does not know about the prophecy, you still get the same ending.

Raynor is simply not cool.

Personally I don't see the suit thing being a huge plot hole .. didn't he say basically all his internal organs were wired up? For example, if you would try EMP-ing him to disable the radio communication thingie, how can you be sure you won't be disabling some machine that keeps his heart beating?

And i dont really see why they never tried to help remove the stuff from his suit or anything, espcially after Matt told Raynor about it after one of the missions. also agreed with the plot hole thing, there just seems to be a few loose ends that even one of those convos after mission could fix

Merlynn, i agree with you, sorry to seem like i totally agree with the whole thing Raynor did. Tychus had to be my fav character, so of course it would be great to see him make a comeback in the heart of the swarm.

they can decode Zerg DNA,I'm pretty sure a portable jail isn't going to pose much of a problem.

amaze me how often a few lines of dialogue could just fix all these plot holes. It makes the difference between a tragic loss that couldn't be helped and Raynor just being too much of a dick to help his friend.

Prime: Portable jails,like Tychus' suit,are about as secure as a portable safe. If

Prototype: I'm not saying he should let Kerrigan die,I'm simply saying they could have shown more being done to help Tychus. As it is,pretty much everyone is telling Raynor Tychus is going to be forced to betray him and Raynor's reaction is "Duuuuuuh,ok!" Nothing is done about it. It never ceases to

I like to think that Raynor shot at the Mengsk's transceiver and somehow faked Tychus' death so they could pull him out of that suit without Mengsk knowing it.

Please, please, please, just say that this hilarious bro is alive in the sequel!!!

I really hope your TF2 senses are on the money, the update happening today would make my weekend. Also awesome comic and semirelated youtube awesomeness.

There is a "Star Wars Prequels"-like amount of plot holes about Tychus' treason. There are a few theories which fix some of them.

At any time they could have EMPed the suit (the suit has to receive a code for the death switch) and cut him out.

In the dev commentaries of the behind-the-scene DVD, they say they considered bringing him back but decided against it, that it would be cheap. I hope they keep this decision. Tychus should stay a casualty

You forgot to mention that the ho was the only person that could avert the apocalypse, and that the bro wanted to kill her.

[url=#user_comment_42893]@Noob[/url] There's a manual fix you can find through google. No idea if any patch fixed it though. @Prime_2.0 Mengsk was looking to the future. He wanted to kill Kerrigan and knew, if anyone, Raynor would get her. Also, killing Tychus during Blitz wouldn't guarantee Mengsk's victory

[url=#user_comment_42873]@Merlynn[/url] Having Tychus under a death switch by Mengsk is just a plot hole in general, considering Media Blitz. But obviously, if the suit is wired up like that and sent into enemy hands, there must have been a way for him to know if it was being tampered with, and set off the killswitch then.

Gotta admit shooting Tychus was a dick move on Raynor's part but doesnt anyone remember the last protoss crystal mission? kerrigan kinda needs to live.

I look forward to there being a "good" group of zerg under Kerrigan's control in HotS. Zerg up till now have been uninteresting. I hope some of them get voices.

I once have a thought of Tychus revived as an Infested Terran and becomes its new leader.
But then, how can he control the Zerg if he has no psionic powers?

Raynor's a bigger dick than Tychus could ever be.
Merlynn

knows how they're going to kill him if he don't do what they want. Something could have been done,like disarming the "kill switch" in the armor or just getting him out of the damn thing. But no,Raynor waits til Tychus is forced to try to kill Kerrigan and he just shoots his "old friend".

I always felt like Raynor just didn't give a damn about Tychus. Sure,he's not the nicest guy but he's loyal. He did hard time to protect Raynor. And all through the game they basically say he's going to betray you. Tosh says he's going to do something he doesn't want to do,Matt scans the armor and

Honestly, I never liked Tychus. His accent was even worse then the rest of the Terran hicks and he was just a dick.

Lolwut Josue? What "Mengsk hybrid tech research?" Mengsk doesn't even know about the Hybrids or the prophecy. And as far as "Raynor choose da ho," uh, YEAH, if I knew the ho was key to universal survival, I'd choose the ho. Tychus was great til he finally had to choose his fate.
