So, back in 1997, when I played Starcraft for the first time, I actually was really drawn into the plot.

I have more comparisons, but you get the idea.

There no plot twist or turn that would have fooled even a eight year old. Even if I pretended to be fooled, I found myself not caring or connecting with the main characters at all.


Solution?

Fire Metzen. Never let him write any story ever again. I don't care if your game got positive reviews. It is terrible writing that came out of some horrible Harry Potter slashfiction. Some random dude within three days of the game release created an entirely improved plot that would have made me care and been convinced at the titles of Lord Belial and Lord Azmodan. Guess what? (SPOILER)Belial sucks at lying, Azmodan isn't much of a sinner (or a commander for that matter), and Tyrael is a stereotypical dumb movie black person. They could only have made him worse by constantly asking me why I was asking all them questions.
Oddly enough, I've already ranted a hundred times how the plot of Warcraft III was identical to the plot of Starcraft (which it is, just use a basic word substitution).

It seems the guy is incapable of actually doing any decent writing or doing anything original.

So he's a perfect fit for Blizzard.
