Pretty much a no-brainer, first of all you get Hanson onboard ASAP, which gives you the most story-related dialogue (see point #3 above) and second, this is a freaking distress-call and Jimmy sure as hell wouldn’t keep these folks waiting to go and cash-in an artifact instead.Īgain, I pick my missions in accordance with point #3 - getting Tosh on the ship ASAP. The order on these three is predetermined, so duh.
I feel like it would make sense lorewise to have the cinematics evenly spread throughout the campaign and not clustered right after one another. I remember how SC1 had a few cinematics in each campaign, but they were never after two consecutive missions. Trying to put a space of at least 2 or 3 missions between the cinematics. there are missions like The Evacuation and The Moebius Factor, which are literally presented as emergency distress calls, so from Jimmy’s perspective it wouldn’t make any sense to go robbing trains, or picking up artifacts instead of helping these folks ASAP) Trying to pick up missions depending on how urgent each one of them is presented to be (e.g. Trying to get side characters aboard the Hyperion as early as possible, respectively to keep them onboard for as long as possible in order to get as much lore-related dialogue with them as you can (this applies mostly to Tosh and Hanson and it basically means that one should aim to do both their introductory missions ASAP) Jimmy starts out suspicious and mistrusting towards Tosh, but gradually warms up to him) Trying to give characters at least some development (e.g. Trying to make the story coherent and non-contradictory (for instance you cant do Media Blitz after Supernova, cause on Korhal you are fighting against Warfield, who you would simultaneously would be allied with if you’ve already met Valerian similarly, it would be dumb to do The Moebius Factor after the Rebellion Arc, cause right after The Moebius Factor Matt critisises Jimmy’s drunkenness and lack of effort in the fight against the Dominion). Before I write down my personal canon mission order (and the arguments why I did it precisely like this) I want to list the few basic points that it is based upon: But I believe that it makes sense in terms of coherent story and character development. However, this approach doesn’t always make sense when you look at the missions themselves (for instance, Whispers of Doom doesn’t immediately follow The Dig, which is easily the most natural choice to make Smash and Grab and The Moebius Factor both come pretty late in the campaign and so on).Īdmittedly, my approach on putting the campaign in order probably wouldn’t make the most sense if one considers the broadcast info.
The author of this thread has done a pretty good job at putting the UNN broadcast info in order. I am aware that something like this has been tried on the old forums and that there’s even a thread on the new forums ( Wings of Liberty in Chronological Order) concerning the matter. Thus, for my last couple of replays I’ve been trying to come up with something as close as possible to a canon mission order - one that would make the story flow gradually, one in which the decisions Jimmy and co take would make the most sense, one in which there is at least something similar to character development. I could go on with a load of examples, but I’m pretty sure that everyone on this forum knows what I’m talking about. Similarly, Jimmy and Tosh could chat like they are best buddies and just a mission later they would be mistrusting and throwing aggresive remarks towards each other. For instance you can have Matt and the crew congratulating Raynor about his leadership and vision after one mission and on the very next one you see him as a drunken mess of a person and everyone blames him that he can’t get his priorities straight. However, the one thing that has been bothering me about the campaign is that depending on your mission order choice the story can get extremely illogical and messy. WoL is definitely my favourite out of the three for a solid bunch of reasons. Even though I gave up on competitive multiplayer shortly after LotV came out, I’ve been replaying the campaigns once or twice a year. I’ve been playing SC2 on my EU account pretty much since the game was released (I’ve also been playing SC1 since 2000, but that’s another topic ).
