Consignment // Song Lyrics

Time cascades across the skies
Moved, they cry, flooding the land
And the deep valleys are enveloped
From all sides the hills climb above
Scraping the heavens, their tips breach the divide
And divinity cascades

The weirding of the world
Begins and I'm sullen

Showering down across the stones
The statues dealt a blow so vain
Bleeding in the bowl of the land
Earth unsettled and rusted by death
The hard ground browns and the dirt becomes soil
And organics cascade

This weirding of the world
Endures and I'm sullen

The distance between all the souls
Grows away and between walls
Division in the hearts of the living
And the tremulous fates sing of fear
All the spirits are sundered by quaking
And sepulchers cascade

This weirding of the world
Concludes but I'm sullen

Harken to the woe and the woe whispers
Communication through the protocol of suffering
"Others stand adjacent on this plane
But I am separated by another dimension
It may be mere corruption by imaginary units
But isolation cascades"

The lives that now begin
Etch only misery into time

Diabolic curse to breathe
Insidiously bound to organic instinct
Once awoken to consciousness
You realize the fear of death

That weirding of the world
Concluded but I'm sullen

Sinister hex of sight
Devious shackles of organic limits
Once awoken to consciousness
You realize the love for life

The lives that will end
Leave naught but misery in their wake

Evil is this consignment
Evil is this preservation
Worse still, the isolation
Worse still, the submission

The weirding of the world
Is until no lives remain.

DarkenedFantasies -- Probably just didn't care. For example, at some point before release, they've updated the graphics of some of the Protoss buildings (Forge, CyberCore, Citadel, Observatory, Arbiter Tribunal), but instead of properly re-rendering them with edited 3D models, they did crappy copy-paste jobs on the rendered graphics.

Ultraviolet -- :wob:

Symmetry -- :wob:

Ultraviolet -- I suppose we'll likely never know, but my guess would be that they already saw it operating successfully and there was no monetary incentive to finish the original work. And the dev cycle in old school Blizzard was so hectic, it's possible it just got forgotten about after the original game got released. Plus there's an element of existing MPQ files that were packaged with the original discs becoming outdated if they updated it. And it's not like they remade the original MPQs, they just made new ones for BW specifically

Oh_Man -- so that makes me think maybe the theory they are unfinished is not true and its a deliberate design decision, coz why not finish them wen ur making brood war?
[2026-6-21. : 4:25 am]
Oh_Man -- the thing is thos buildings are from classic. that means they went ahead and made brood war without ever finishing the 'unfinished' buildings

Ultraviolet -- Yeah he's talked about a lot of that stuff in his casts before. It seems plausible. Especially knowing how Blizzard of yesteryear operated.

NudeRaider -- to clarify: couldn't recall the behavior for every single Protoss building but I was aware the disparity exists.
[2026-6-20. : 3:43 pm]
NudeRaider -- Contained nothing new for me. Didn't know all building's behavior, but very much all unit's. Also Terran balance whine - also nothing new :lol:

Oh_Man -- makes me wonder if SEN knows anything about the topic
