%% * AuthorsSavingThrow: A ''lot'' of previous plot elements or oversights that fans didn't take kindly to from the first two parts of the trilogy were addressed.
** Tassadar's spirit that Zeratul spoke to in the prophecy missions in ''Wings of Liberty'' [[spoiler:is revealed to be a Xel'naga, Ouros that was using Tassadar's form, and the "vision" of the Overmind he passed on to Zeratul was Ouros showing Zeratul what he had to be shown to make him do what Ouros wanted him to do. In turn, this allows the AlternateCharacterInterpretation that the Overmind's retconned motivations were ''re''-retconned: it's entirely possible Tassadar/Ouros lied to Zeratul about the Overmind and manipulated what he sensed from its emotions on its death, in order to sell its cover story. Thus, fans who don't mind or liked the plot twist with the Overmind's true goals can accept Zeratul's findings at face value, while fans who disliked the reveal can claim it was Ouros' doing and the Overmind wasn't retconned at all.]]
*** In tandem with this, all the talk of "prophecy" in ''Wings of Liberty'' didn't go over well with many fans, seeing them as skewing the franchise hard to the "fantasy" part of the ScienceFantasy genre when otherwise ''Starcraft'' was more the former. The full scope of events concerning Amon and the Xel'naga establishes that those prophecies weren't really "these characters are seeing visions of the future", but were more "these characters possess information the viewer doesn't, and are intuiting how these unrevealed elements will influence things in the future". WordOfGod had previously implied this was the case, and the game makes it clear they were being sincere.
** One of Alarak's StopPokingMe quotes has him give a HandWave that the Tal'darim Executor from ''Wings of Liberty'' is named Nyon, and he was sent to harvest terrazine for them and went rogue when his exposure to it drove him insane. This not only gives the Executor a bit of a backstory, but also provides an explanation for why the Tal'darim in ''Wings'' are guarding the artifacts from Raynor when their boss Narud was the one who ordered Raynor to gather them: Nyon had gone insane and become a rogue element.
** Stukov [[spoiler:gets his moment of vengeance against Duran/Narud. The latter is also directly addressed as a Xel'naga, when previously it was unclear what he was.]]
** The Tal'darim are given a motivation for their deeds that makes them more than the cliched cutouts they were before, [[spoiler:and they end up pulling a HeelFaceTurn.]]
** Likewise, Amon is given more depth, including characterization and a motivation, that makes him more than a GenericDoomsdayVillain.
** Kerrigan's villainous traits are heavily de-emphasized to the point she's a definite AntiHero instead of the DesignatedHero she edged up on in ''Heart of the Swarm''. It's also made clear that she genuinely feels guilt for her past crimes, and wishes to atone for it.
