It was so much more interesting when it seemed like they were a race of possibly nomadic space super scientists striving to create perfection in life(which they didn't know how to accomplish or understand themselves, presumably--very different from the Xel'Naga we got in the end). Apparently they were even considered and/or planned to be added as a new race, but instead they just said fuck it and made them personality-less quasi-physical deus ex machina archetypes. From when I was a child reading the SC1 instruction manual I had pictured them as a race with actual character and culture that we'd eventually learn about, perhaps even more science/knowledge-based and mature than the Protoss(who are pretty religious and warrior-based despite their advanced tech), but it was not to be.

The entire Starcraft campaign told a very cool story, with its own twists, cool charismatic characters. Everything was very harmonious and consistent. And we are all experiencing this very interesting storyline again thanks to Executor Nral. But in this mission, everything changed. A complete atmosphere of mystery, darkness, and hopelessness. Everything that came before has become so unimportant and simple. Zeratul being a Protoss hero who did not flinch before the Overmind and the Zerg, who saw the fall of Aiur, who came face to face with the Queen of Blades, "could only sit and fear for the future of the universe." These lines are terrifying. Every time, in the Omega mission, I could only think "how dare you kill each other now? Somewhere on hundreds of moons, an unknown creature Duran completes some kind of cycle and this definitely does not bode well for us" and "Zeratul, friend, Please find Artanis and deal with Duran. He's here on Char, and you both really need each other right now." ... Magnificent, isn't it?

Duran used to be so much more eloquent before he took to being Narud.

Until Starcraft 2 came out, I thought that hybrids would be Xel Naga or something very related to them

This story could be that from the very beginning our gods were not so good guys. That they have Duran, who makes insidious plans for their return, and perhaps the Overmind did the right thing to destroy them. What if we were blinded just like Aldaris was to the Conclave? But we got what we got. Anyone in general likes the motivation "kill everyone so they don't get hurt", the "zerg and protoss were made by a bad guy", etc?

IS THIS SUPER METROID SOUNDS?!?!?!?

well adapted to SCII !!!

the dude on the right sounds like a Naga Myrmidon

This scene had so many follow-up potentials, man. I believe the hybrids were supposed to be way more powerful and sinister in Blizzard's original concepts, the Golden Armada we had was ultimately unsatisfactory. While the original SC2 concept was still decent, the execution was rotten space-drama. On a more personal note, I would like it more if Xel'naga survivors weren't killed or imprisoned by Amon, but had rather went in hiding with a different vengeance on all living things. It'd be a thrilling three (or even more) side war between Amon's hybrid, Koprulu Sector's inhabitants and the psionic powers of the Xel'naga (maybe even Kerrigan's Zerg at some point).

Wings of Liberty was great but as the sc2 story went on it seemed less good, then again typically nothing beats the original.

When I read a PDF of the originall SC1 and Brood War manuals I realized that they change many things in concept over the years, I like some of the chnages, I had grown up with others and ... I admit some changes were either wierd or dumb But I do remember that in the manuals it was kinda hinted that the Xel'naga were either dead/extinc, hiding themselves or really far away.

I think the original plans were to make the Xel'Naga cycle the actual threat to oppose. From what we glimpsed of Starcraft I's campaign, the Overmind refered to its invasion of Aiur as the completion of a cycle, and Zeratul hinted that it was doing so because of the Xel'Naga's imperative. Then, Duran arrives and shows that not only were the Hybrids done before the Overmind invaded Aiur, but they are also the completion of this "cycle". I do not know why, but they decided to scrap that in favour of Amon ruining said cycle.
