Description
Just a thought - why do all in-game zerg-infested human females retain some if not all of their original physical features when nearly all of their male counterparts (the only exception so far being Alexandr Stukov) are mutated beyond recognition?I do not own a copy of Starcraft II: Wings of Liberty yet.

It's because it's not sexy to not have titties on a chick in a videogame, man.
It's like why do women in fantasy RPGs wear leather straps and the men wear full plate armor? Easy, because of sex appeal man.
The chick's all mutated but at least she's still got her nockers. A dude? If videogames start showing off the sex appeal of men over women, I would probably pick up a new game.
That's why.

Yeah... Quite frankly, sex does not sell to me very well so most of those games are way out in no-man's land.

Give it a few years.

That would be the case if I wasn't an up-strung, stubborn individual.

HOLY SHIT. Is that what happens when you side with the Protoss?? O.o
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
side her and she left you side protoss and you get that shit
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
because this is a game aimed at guys.
they still want the women to be "hot" (but to be honest, nuthin's hot bout that O-o)
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Seriously. At least Kerrigan retains a nice figure.

Whatever drives their little fanboy fetishes I guess.

I'll tell you the reason: Blizzard will not ever make a female character that they wouldn't go to bed with. Simple.

It's not just Blizzard either - Dead Space had this issue as well with regards to Nicole.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, pretty much any game producer.

Whenever possible, of course.

Honestly, it is quite ridiculous. In the Beta for World of Warcraft, people complained that the female Trolls, Tauren, and Dwarves weren't 'sexy' enough, so Blizzard had them changed.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
And the last I heard, dwarf women are really supposed to be mistaken for the men according to LotR.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yep. I guess it's just another case of 'sexy sells'.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
What's actually funny is that most of those players probably have never had sex to begin with.

i just finished the game and rolled through the ending credits, and the voice actress for ariel is ali hillis, the same chick who voiced lightning from FFXIII
i was like, what???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Heh, things like that happen. Until I actually did some research, I didn't realize that Udo Kier (the actor who voiced and played the mind control psychopath Yuri in Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2) starred in Ace Ventura and Blade.

aw snap! that reminds me!
Egon Stetmann the geeky scientist's voice reminds me of Yuri Lowenthal, but it wasn't really him...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
but enough about voices, i wanna ask which form of kerrigan do you prefer? ghost or infested version?
i personally prefer her ghost form cuz i got the hots for sarah's flowing red hair
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm indifferent to either one really - it's the same person with a different body anyways. Her infested form appeals to me in that it's somewhat exotic and that she can actually prove herself as an authority figure, but I don't get that attached to fictional characters other than my own.

ah, i see
but hey, does the UNN remind you of our own world live news? i mean, pick the wrong person, and you got urself a biased news, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That depends on the news network in question. Fox News seems to be on the extreme end of being a biased news network itself, and you'll sometimes get more reputable sources in the most unlikely places (as bizarre as it sounds, the Israelis watch Aljazeera for instance).

huh... why am i not surprised?
oh yeah, also, i find it strange that a friend of the protoss like jim raynor have to dodge all those crazy ass protoss fanatics in the game. can you explain why?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Not on a clear note, but it appears that the Protoss suffer from fundamentalist extremism within their own ranks as well.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
wow, in a way, their society has a behavioral pattern like humans, huh?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Very much like that of Feudal Japan.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
ok, so that leaves down to one question: which protoss faction is a friend of jim raynor?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Raynor is simply a friend to a number of protoss, but not a friend to any particular tribe or clan.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
one thing for sure, zeratul is raynor's pal, right?

In a sick way sex sells in less sick ways sex sells ie so what if Kerigan has wings she still hot. or what about the one woman that Kerigan tried to make an infestation yet retain her free will it was in a book

Hey, I know there's a massive fanbase for the former Terran ghost, so it doesn't surprise me. Like I said in the description, it was dealing with the game itself and not the novelizations.
Through what I recall, the latter was a failed attempt - the not-so-poor soul was turned into a drooling, mindless drone.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah that kept the series alive I mean I was playing the game as 12yearold total fun but I just forgot about it C&C they stuck with me
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Likewise. Mind you, C&C shit the bed when EA came out with RA3 - Tanya was much better portrayed as a brunette badass than that blonde bimbo, but I digress.
What was nice about Starcraft is that Blizzard actually went the second step and developed a brilliant background and intricate storyline.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah they made a gamble going against the Tiberium series like that I have yet to see if it paid off
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The gameplay is supposedly nice, but that's all that EA is concerned about. Unlike Blizzard, a good plot to extend the entertainment life of a game is not in EA's MO.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah they Killed Tiberium because its plot was to big not because they couldn't get the game play to work the game was playing at E3. They have gotten so complacent with their wealth they don't care anymore god help Blizzard i mean how long till they succum to their own power
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm pretty sure that Blizzard will succumb long after the Starcraft, Warcraft, and Diablo series have long been concluded (whenever that will be).
The one issue that C&C suffered from and led to its downfall was the lack of an expanded universe - as far as I know, there hasn't been a novel written to enrich any of C&C's three universes.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
there was only one and it was going to tie into the Tiberium game
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, the Tiberium series is the only one that hasn't gone completely out of whack.

Indeed. May it rest in peace.
