No solution unnecessary pass through parallel progression. Symbiotic coli in zerg carapace do not digest citrus acids.

Love how Abathar's only response towards Kerrigan's compliment was just a simple "unclear". This showed that he actually had a personality. One of my fav characters.

[@IamMonikaDLC]

And also the response to her anger when she wants to kill him in the beginning when she finds out he originally mutated her human self into the Queen lol.

[@matthewreaperbell]

I actually think he was threatening her back. Lol "If you weren't soo important to my plans you'd be dead." "Unclear." As in he's saying the fact that his death is unclear means he's not just going to let the queen of blades kill him. Even better in my opinion.

[@laladeity2196]

​@@matthewreaperbellhe wasnt. it sounds because of how the sentence was constructed that the "unclear" means he doesnt know why hes gonna be killed and what her plans are

😂 It carries an undertone of... you don't think my work is bad right... right?

[@matthewreaperbell]

@@laladeity2196 that's totally valid as well. I took it more as: Kerrigan: "I'd end you if I didn't need you for my plans." Abarthur: "you can try," or, "we'll see about that," kind of vibe. 😄

[@fuskerfull2]

Abe is such a pragmatic lad. He is a zerg scientist and surgeonist. He is a scientist, but on pure focus on genetics. He just wants efficiency and find new ways to evolve. He is intelligent, but instincts are stronger, then his mind and so he is more animal, then intelligent being. Fascinating.

@@varanisshouyou4379 I do like Alarak. He is my favorite of the Protoss characters.

[@Eclipsed_Embers]

ultimately I feel like Heart of the Swarm had the best characters. I never cared much for any of the terrans besides Jim and the only Protoss that I found interesting were Zeratul (who plays more of a role in Wings of Liberty than Legacy of the Void), Fenix/Talandar and Alarak. Heart of the Swarm on the other hand has my 3 favourite Starcraft characters; Abathur, Dehaka and Stukov. never found Kerrigan or Isha very interesting but Zagara grew on me over time.

[@wyvernnemecek595]

I know it’s entirely for the sake of the devs’ sanity due to programming being a complicated matter, yet Abathur’s statement of the strains being mutually exclusive seems…improbable? If nothing else, desirable attributes were unquestionable reliable. Raptor Zerglings over Swarmlings? The swarmling’s swift development simply becomes rapid larval production. Can’t have both Hydralisk strains? Turn the creep into an offensive substance! There were applications that, mechanically, wouldn’t be easy to implement yet I feel like opportunities were missed. It’s not even a matter of “complexity bad” so much as improving efficiency, regardless of outcome.

[@quillquickcard8824]

100% it is nothing more than narrative justification for gameplay mechanics. But if we want an in universe explanation, consider this: every single zerg larva contains all the genetic starter material and code necessary to form every zerg unit, building, and upgrade. Larva are spectacularly complex organisms. It is likely that they are the bottleneck for all zerg evolution. Within that larva, it is not merely that the swarmling and raptor strains are mutually exclusive to each other, but also to other adaptations across multiple zerg units and structures. Now, undoubtedly, it could be engineered so that there were larva that could allow swarmlings and larva that could allow raptors on the same battlefield. But now you have taken a single expression of life, zerg, and forked it. The two sides would have to evolve independently. Any point of genetic overlap, like breeding pools, would have to evolve filtration systems to keep the strains separate. In short- the degree of added complexity is much more than it first appears

[@wyvernnemecek595]

@@quillquickcard8824 Not wrong, and you’ve made a very excellent case. Still sad it’s so transparently for the sake of mechanics

[@yourdoom6554]

​@@OuterAllianceKerrigan: Explain to me. Why are they exclusive? Abathur: All Zerg, start from larva. Larva makes drone, drone makes hive. Hive starts from larva. Aba (cont.): If Zergling has unique evolutions, Spawning Pool must support both. Added complexity. Aba (cont.): Complexity slows Zerg, makes things difficult. Zerg prioritize speed and efficiency, not unique individuals. Therefore, only one unique strain. Increases efficiency, does not increase complexity.
