You really think they just didn't want to create a new uniform for him?

Absolutely. New stuff requires thinking. Also, because new Stukov is super generic and unremarkable, no one would know who he was if he wasn't wearing the exact same thing.

I think that after you get a tentacle by the arm suppurating bioplasm and spore, a uniform goes to second term in yours priorities

All they need to do is look at his face

Looks like a different person. Honestly, most characters that Blizzard brought back (Fenix, Overmind, Tassadar, Zeratul, Artanis), virtually none of these guys look/sound remotely anything like they did in SC1. If it wasn't for their names, nobody would have any clue it's the same person.

*shrugs* To me it seemed easy to make the connection. The audience merely would have needed to think a little bit.

Stukov is really well built in SC2 though. Imo, you always have to be careful when making humans in any game seem physically hyperealistic. Even if they have super-natural powers, it feels viscerally weird if everyone looks like a bodybuilder (not that Stukov is THAT jacked).

Hmmm, I always felt it's possible the well building was something that Kaloth might have put into him or something like that. Remember, the whole point of his infestation back then was because the Cerebrates didn't want Kerrigan taking control of the swarm, and they wanted someone to challenge her. Stukov was 52 years old when he was killed in BW, I can see him being fit, but maybe not to that extent, not without someone else intervening.

Don't forget the Russian accent and the fact that they call him "Stukov".

Comprehension of other people's posts isn't one of Rag's strong suits.

What does that have to do with it all?
