lmaooooo the comments im reading are literally killing me, posting up pics of Nova. man i love team liquid funniest sc2 forum

but i chose to save the colonist because i thought in doing so i would score the doc chiik, turns out not. ive allways been weak for love, sighh......

i chose to save tosh cause i liked him plus im jamaican n i liked his bootleg accent.

i blew that cursed space platform to smitherines, cuzz i fuking hate BroodLords. and mutas and building an air fleet is rather expensive and time consuming

Being a slow reader payed off for me because after a little a bit Nova uncloaked for a brief few moments and was sitting on the crates that the rifle's resting on. So Nova is aboard keeping tabs on the mission or something. The only downside is one less crewmember to talk to. That's a little bit better. Thought that was a cool find.

so don't feel bad for Tosh cuz u got Nova) she stays on Hyperion

I took out the nydus because anti-air is easy. Didn't want to get nydus worms popping up all over inside my base.

Was the mission to take out the air good? I really enjoyed the mission to flood the nydus caverns.

Helped the doctor after some thinking, figuring Raynor was the good guy saving people and having hope. I do regret this quite a bit, I much rather have a clever protoss girl as a friend then that annoying piece of junk that doctor was.

I picked Tosh, and I am very glad I did, I find him awesome and loyal. I love having that badass at my side, best choise I've made in my life

I took out air figuring tanks would melt stuff.

Toss

Because Protoss are awesome, and i kinda wanted to have some sort of link to the original game where Raynor was friends with Protoss

Tosh

Because, quite frankly i am not turned on by videogame characters and Nova is another Lara Croft or DoA girl attempt at giving boners to lonely gamers.
Tosh was one of the few memorable characters from WoL and was pretty badass.

Air

Air units are just annoying tofight

Colony, Tosh, Nydus

I despise protoss, and found a chance to take the raynor-esque righteous path while killing space aliens in siding with the colony. Tosh was also an easy choice, and raynor's choice of words (Mengsk's pet ghosts) sealed it for me. I'm very surprised more people didn't take out the nydus worms. I didn't much care for the idea of having worms popping into my mineral line, and marines/imba upgraded goliaths handled broodlords fine.

Save for the last descision being inconsequential, saving the colony and Tosh made the story feel 'right'. Going back and purging the colonists/murdering tosh felt kinda tainted, with cutscenes to match.

1. I decided to go with the doctor and save the colonists because it seemed like the right thing for Raynor to do.

I was a bit unsure, though, because they did say there was zerg taints n' shite there and they could've very well been infested.
And what makes the doctor think she can come up with a cure out of nowhere that quickly?

2. I went with Tosh because, again, it seemed like the right thing to do.

Yes, if you had gotten Nova as an ally instead of Ghosts, I'd have picked her any day over Tosh like the rest of you, but this is not the case.
I think Blizzard kinda realized that too and wanted to make the choices 50/50 for each person not making it totally 1 sided.

3. I went with taking out Air simply because I thought the Tanks could easily take out any Nydus worm ground forces. Seems I was quite right on that too, but I can't say if it was easier than going vikings vs Brood lords instead.

For those wondering, the nydus worms don't really pop up in your base.
There's 1 worm that keeps popping close to your artifact, but the tanks positioned at the bunkers on the sides shoots it down every single time instantly before it can even send 1 zergling out.

Yeah I picked the chicks especially nova. Starcraft: Ghost, of course you have to side with her! (Didn't think kerrigan would come back, trying to get raynor to score, + the nova mission was cool i saw nony playing it on the stream since I left tosh' missions until last before char) Took out the worms because tychus>lame old dude BUT DO NOT DO THIS IF YOU WANT TO WIN EASILY LOL YOU CAN'T EVEN MAKE TANKS WITH BROODLORDS ALL AROUND YOU T_T. (literally all around) (Good thing mnm+F +vikings with splash rapes face enough to get through)

1. Saved the colony.
- well seemed more fitting, and the protoss weren't that upset about it.
2. Sided with Tosh.
Tosh was one of the most interesting characters in the game.
3. Took out Air.
I hate Broodlords. =)

Actually if you side with Nova she isn't lying.

The cinematics make it so that no matter which side you choose, it's the "right" side.

They don't. Siege Tanks at either entrance will intsta-gib any Nydus that trys to burrow into your base so it's never an issue.

Actually dude I think that's exactly it. It seemed kind of weird when Nova said she wouldn't join your side, so I figure after enough quality control testing Blizzard figured that no one was choosing Tosh

I went with the doc because the protoss option was too hard for the time beign xD. And i just wanted to jump trough the damn story and not turtle just to go hit and run the whole time.
The doc side mission was prob the easiest ever. spared me a lot of time.

No it doesn't. If you side with Nova it does not tell you that she lied. But neither does it tell you that she was telling the truth and it does not mean that she did not lie.

As for the Doctor's mission, if you side with the protoss it's pretty clear that you did the "wrong" thing. Lots of people die, the doctor gets infested while trying to find a cure for her people and then she begs for death.

So, uh, no.
