Female Ghost

[ArcherofAiur]

That's my point; it does detract from the Zeratul model; hence why Blizzard didn't originally use as well were slow in including the Lenassa model as a standard Dark Templar. They even put it up for public voting to see if it was a true majority or just a noisy minory. Blizzard never does that! Not even when they revamped the entire art direction. But this is a discussion for another thread.

But its the same situation with the ghost. The overwhelming majority want a female ghost model. I think the key here is making the standard female ghost different from a hero female. In just the same way Zeratul should be different from the Zer'atai DT.

Who does?

Ghosts do. Kerrigan had a full head of hair in SC1, but now they all wear helmets, which means that hairstyles are no longer visible.

But you really think there is no way to make this




look different from this

The first one's SC2 artwork, the other is SC:G artwork, they're not the same.

Let me state it like this, I'm perfectly happy to have a Fem-Ghost model in the editor just I'm perfectly happy to have two different DT models, what I don't want it having the two models produced randomly, just give us one model for multiplayer, leave the other one for scenarios.

Whose they? What female ghost wears a helmet?

So you think there should only be one ghost model (male or female) in multiplayer. Do you also think there should be only one DT model in multiplayer?

They should... unless the Ghost Academies are sexist and purposely armour their female ghosts less.

Um, all of them (we have no SC2 model without a helmet, Kerrigan was SC1, Nova was SC:G).

So you think there should only be one ghost model (male or female) in multiplayer. Do you also think there should be only one DT model in multiplayer?

Yes and yes.

Theyd have to cast another voice actor then for if ones a guy and ones a girl. But like the 2 dark templar models (if they are still doing that?) could maybe just be the same guy? I know thats only a very small factor, but its another thing to have to add on none the less. If I had to pick between it being either a guy or girl id pick a girl.

Your not answering the question. Name one female ghost in SC2 that wears a helmet.

All Ghosts (including females) in SC2 wear helmets because we've never seen a model or profile (not a concept art) that doesn't, ergo, we have no idea of the number of female Ghosts. Kerrigan and Nova are special cases, Kerrigan was a renegade, and Nova was a FPC, and besides neither of them have yet been seen in SC2.

If you want a female model for the Ghost in MP go ahead, but don't try and damn well force me to agree. Of course, if you're going to introduce a female Ghost, you might as well introduce a load of ethnic models as well, for every unit (we know that at least some Marines are African or Hispanic).

The only ghost weve seen in SC2 has been confirmed to be male. So no there are no female ghosts that where helmets in SC2.

The only ghost weve seen in SC2 has been confirmed to be male. So no there are no female ghosts that where helmets in SC2.

That's like saying that all Marines are going to be caucasian because we've seen no other ethnicity, it's logical given the evidence, but it's also undoubtedly wrong.

Also, you're saying that "no female Ghosts = female Ghosts don't wear helmets". This is utter baloney, the only conclusions we can draw are 'no female Ghosts = female Ghosts aren't automatically central characters".

Now stuff off and stop trying to impose your opinions onto me, I've made my choice and I'm sticking with it.
