And building upon mr. peasant's idea, Dragoons are also connected to the Khala, whereas Dark Templars have no such link. So both a Siege Tank crew and Dragoon have methods beyond a Stalker.

Because its silly. I know that the Stalker might need to have a face for when they are playing poker but ...

I don't mind the head. But I can already tell the Stalkers are gonna be my favorite mech units. They can blink, are of Dark Templar origin, their attack seems to not have a delay like the goons did, and they just look awesome (disregarding the head thing).

Interaction takes more forms than just conversation. Moreover, we're talking about an individual's need/desire for a face in order to maintain his/her individuality.

Yet every stalker looks the same...

You cannot apply human psychology to the Protoss. No human will want to be permanently fused into a metal body.

There built so, they would all be pretty much the same lore wise as well...so I still don't see how individuality comes into play here.

Honestly, does no one else care about the fact that in war, worrying about having a face is not your top priority? Maybe you should worry about not having a face sticking outside of a machine for that Terrible Terrible Headshot that you know is coming.
