Female Marauder

[Pandonetho]

It matters because it's a kickass portrait.

But it won't matter if the female one is as equally badass.

*Sigh*

Well, there goes the awesome male banshee portrait.

Maybe they'll use it to replace another unit. Say... the Thor? I really hate that bandanna-wearing biker wannabe.

Or more than likely, the female portrait will be largely the same save for a female face instead of the old, male one.

I'm pretty sure that was never the Banshee portrait. Just a placeholder used so that it wasn't the Adjutant again.

Placeholder or not, it still exists and so can be shuffled around and/or modified as they see fit. If they liked it enough, they'll find a home for it.

Not placeholder as in 'just made temporarily'.

Placeholder as in 'made for this campaign unit or editor unit and used on the Banshee because she doesn't have a portrait yet'. Like using the Adjutant portrait on the Thor.

But I think we're saying the same thing anyway: it'll be in the game somewhere.

Although this argument is all very amusing, I must say that, even disregarding the visual aspects, the idea of a female Marauder doesn't 'feel' right.
However, I do believe that the idea of female Terran troops is not a bad one. It just has to be implemented correctly.
One might even go the Dark Templar way and create a unit that, when built, randomly conforms to one of two presets (male or female in this case), if it is really so critical.

I like it because it is Ironic.

[Medzo]

I would like to see a female ghost.

That there is a complete lack of variety in the Terran lineup. They all sound the same.

i'd say they may have over-done texas accents a bit much but each terran unit definitely felt unique

This is what I've been thinking.
Protoss already got some diversity with Dark Templars being randomly spawned both models. Why not do the same with terran ghosts? I mean, likewise, spawn male or female terran ghosts?
