So, if they didn’t empower the Protoss and the Zerg to be the next candidates… why were they slumbering? Isn’t the whole idea that they experiment around to create purity of race and form? Also, at this point clearly Amon interfered. At this time he has the Overmind so he unleashes the Swarm upon them. When Khala is created, Xel’naga awaken (for whatever reason, and for other reasons™, they do not feel anything else Amon does), they find Amon. They are slumbering while Amon (who doesn’t slumber for whatever reason) empowers the Protoss.

There was a reference like this but really just in a corner somewhere from what I remember.Īlso. Why are Xel’naga sleeping? Aren’t they supposed to sort of disappear until the new races they created form to create new Xel’naga? If they don’t, then what’s the whole point of the cycle? Are there more sleeping Xel’naga from previous cycles? Or are they machinist beings who just start life and disappear. Was he wronged by this cycle somehow? No idea! He says he was created against his will but WHAT DOES IT MEAN? Sounds like teenage angst without anything else, to be honest.Ĭombined with the lack of information on Xel’naga, Amon just becomes a “bad guy.” You can’t feel more than that because you aren’t thrown any bones. Does he mean something else? An actual corruption? Then there is no proof. Who’s this guy? What does he want? Why does he call their life cycle circle of lies or hatred or suffering, or say it’s corrupt? Is he just an egomaniac saying that to make us believe him? If so, does he have to? None of his minions seem to care about this cycle. This makes is hard to understand what happens why, how we should feel about Amon, Ouros, the cycle and about anything really regarding the meta of the plot. So they must have some sort of structure, some way of life. At least they weren’t in SC1 and even through SC2, they are more like the Goauld or rather, Ori from Stargate SG-1: They are immensely powerful compared to some races, so they look godlike. Where is that? They aren’t “literal” gods. What do they do? Are they just an interim life-form? But then how do they develop technology? How do they know about their past? They must have some kind of culture. Let’s say that’s because of circumstances. But they themselves just look like a lump of flesh floating around. But in the end… How do they manipulate? Is it technology? I mean their planet looks like a spaceship and they can traverse space. In SCII, it seems this was moved into a more primal “This is the circle of life.” zone which I’m okay with. Initially Xel’naga used to be a race that’s technologically advanced and experimented around. We don’t know what they do in their daily life, whether they eat vegemite or listen to goblin-pop, but we have an idea about how they operate. They have names, they have sort of a culture, you can make something out of them.

Who are they? What is their thing? I mean, take Warcraft. One problem is Xel’naga being so hollow, uncharacteristically for Blizzard. Shame about the lingering sour taste Xel’naga
