SC2 story was shit because Metzen needed to write grandiose universe-spanning stories that are just a pile of clichés propped up by some amazing cinematics and design. It's the same problem W3 managed to avoid by making most of the characters much more interesting than the overarching story. BW managed that by recurring characters switching sides frequently based on what suits them, therefore downgrading you to their level. SC2 had UI elements upgraded into fully voiced and animated characters where the main character can do no wrong. It was interesting in WoL as a narrative choice, where the game accomodated all of your choices as the correct ones, however eventually it fails to achieve any kind of tension.I think the problem with SC2 is they went too fantasy with all the shit. Like others said the best parts were the politics part and that was pretty much the entire storyline for SC/BW. Its like how ASOIF is worse now with all the fantasy elements being central instead of just straight up backroom politics.
Really, my only beef with the Nova missions is that you can't choose to not kill Davis and be loyal to Mengsk, instead you kill her and go "Eh, who else is Dominion gonna call", even though she has nothing left.
