Hey everyone, as probably most of you know, there are 3 choice to make in the game. I was wondering which ones the majority of the people chose to continue with =)
So here goes;
+ Show Spoiler [Doctor] +Poll: Choice 1: ColonistsI purified them with rightous flames. (320) 52% Saved the colony. Human chick > Protoss chick (301) 48% 621 total votes Your vote: Choice 1: Colonists (Vote): I purified them with rightous flames.
(Vote): Saved the colony. Human chick > Protoss chick
+ Show Spoiler [Tosh] +Poll: Choice 2: Spec OpsBros before Hoes (338) 59% Reserved the right to tap that ass incase the whole thing with Kerri doesn't work out. (235) 41% 573 total votes Your vote: Choice 2: Spec Ops (Vote): Bros before Hoes
(Vote): Reserved the right to tap that ass incase the whole thing with Kerri doesn't work out.
+ Show Spoiler [End game] +Poll: Choice 3: knocking out the zerg arsenalTook out air support because siege tanks with 100 damage per shot can take on anything. (334) 73% Took out the nyduses because I hate surprises. (126) 27% 460 total votes Your vote: Choice 3: knocking out the zerg arsenal (Vote): Took out air support because siege tanks with 100 damage per shot can take on anything.
(Vote): Took out the nyduses because I hate surprises.
As for me:
At first I purged the colony because I wanted that woman off my ship, but after doing the "safe heaven" mission and learning that she leaves one way or another, I just saved them and continued from there.
I decided to side with Nova because she's 1 hot piece of ass and was hoping she'd replace Tosh on Hyperion, but after finishing all that I kinda felt bad for Tosh :| and since she didn't replace him, I redid the mission but on his side and continued from there.
For the last choice, I instinctively chose to take out the flyers. Siege tanks can take on anything you throw at them. They're worth their price. Turned out to be the right choice. Got my Kerri avatar.
And how about you guys?^^

This is the only choice I've gotten to but I was all over this for the same reasons! It was a little weird that he disappears afterwards so maybe I should have gone the other way. Oh well.

Really? Tosh disappeared for you? O.o When I sided with him, he stayed on my ship till the very invasion. He also had decent comments for later missions.
|
Purged the colony because im a big brotoss, and the chance of finding a cure was already pretty slim from the getgo, regardless of how hot the doctor is Fenix would be angry if i did not purge it in righteous flame.
I picked Nova at first, but will go tosh next, planning on completeing it on brutal, will need the easy level and dont say no to better ghosts.
this one is a nobrainer, its easier to prepare against ONLY ground especially as terran if your just doing it for the story, just like in multiplayer as long as you have something for the zerg to hit on while tanks obliderate them its ok.

+ Show Spoiler +Err no. I meant that I picked Nova because shes super cute (LOL) and when you do betray Tosh he gives you crap like "eh you've fallen a long ways betraying me" and Nova kills him in the cinematics after the mission when hes doing voo-doo on Tychus.
|
I chose to save the colonists. No particular reason on that one really.
I picked Tosh because I was interested in the spectres over the ghosts.
And finally, its been said but siege tanks just rape the ground. And honestly, brood lords are just annoying anyway.
Might choose the other options my second time playing it.
|
Clever captions for the polls. I just made a million tanks and PFs and Kerrigan didn't do anything. Hah.
|
I picked Nova for obvious reasons :D
+ the cinematic was awesome
As for the colonists I purged them with fire. Main reason being I was tired of hearing that doctor lady lol.
And took out Zerg air for obvious reasons.
|
Purified the colony, because I'm a protoss at heart and didn't want to fight the protoss if I didn't have to.
Nova. Tosh was... ok, but never really liked him.
Brood Lords are imba lol
|
I always did what the ladies told me to. Notice how virtually all the women in this game are good, likeable and righteous, except for Kerrigan who is vindicated in the end (sorta).

Yeah.... this.
I can't believe I'm one of only two who'd rather knock down a couple of brood lords with vikings instead of having worms everywhere.
|
I'm whipped. I do what women tell me to do.
I also seem to have trouble when it comes to outright killing innocents. Maybe that's why I never fell to the dark side in those Star Wars games....
Haven't gotten to the 3rd one yet though....hoping to get there later today.
|
Took out the nydus.
The mission to do it is amazing.
The last mission with broodlords everywhere is the most horrific pile of shit I have ever had to endure.
The pain.
Oh god the pain.
Other than that, went with the women. Saw the other cutscenes on the Collector's DVD. The protoss-siding one was really cool, Tosh's one not so much.
|
Sooooooo glad i took the Nydus mission, 10x better then the air mission, one of the highlight in the singleplayer
|
bros before hoes except when the hoe is nova
|
I helped Nova, as Tosh seemed to be the backstabbing type.
Purified the colonist as that seemed like the only logical choice. Put my trust in the hope of finding an unlikely cure and gaining a formidable enemy at the same time? No thanks.
As for the third one.. I hate brood lords.

Strictly speaking, isn't Selendis female? So doesn't this not actually say anything about which colonist choice you made?
|
+ Show Spoiler + So was that doctor infested the whole time? I mean was she tricking you so she would infest the core worlds, or did she just infest herself trying to make a cure?
as for the last mission + Show Spoiler + Im currently replaying it on brutal and I was wondering how hard it was if you take out the nydus instead of the flyers. I took out the flyers and had a fair bit of trouble beating it on hard with nydus everywhere.

Honestly, the air is not a problem at all, although the nydus mission might be very difficult on brutal since the recharge time on your abilities is pretty long, and you don't get very many troops along the way. For dealing with broodlords/other air - have some missile turrets on the high ground and hotkey a group of hell's angels/vikings to deal with Broodlords. Throw in some goliaths for good measure. If you have the vikings splash and range, missile turret upgrades, and goliath range upgraded, all the air just melts too quickly...

+ Show Spoiler +Nova does replace tosh on your ship. Just click on the ghost gun in your armory and she'll eventually appear.
|
I sided with Nova to get Tosh and his annoying voice off my ship.
Doctor chick because I was interested in the cure for the infestation virus (which they didn't follow up on at all, sadly)
and took out air, because I figured tanks and PFs could destroy everything on the ground.
|
I sided with Tosh because the Spectre is a cool unit
Protoss because I wanted to kill zerg, not protoss. Also the doctor chick is mad annoying. Always wants me to fuckin do shit.
Took out air because I like to use tanks.
|
I saved the colony because I figured Jim is the classic "good guy", and saving people's just what he's all about. Easy choice.
Sided with Tosh simply because I wanted to see Spectres. I've seen ghosts before. Yeah they're awesome, but I wanna see new units!!!!
I took out the Zerg air base just because I f***ing hate broodlords.
On my next playthrough though I'm going to do the opposite to see the other missions.
|
Since this is a spoiler thread, what happens to Kerrigan? dies or smt?
(pm me or something)
|
i sided with the doctor-girl cause i remember she's kissing raynor in the trailer. I thought it was more than just a kiss on the cheek, im such a pervert 
|
I sided with the protoss because they are cool
I sided with tosh because i was interesting in seeing a spectre, and ghosts are in multiplayer
i chose to get rid of the nydus for a reason i forget now.
|
Protoss
Tosh
Air-mission
No regrets
|
Picking the toss over the doc was the easiest choice i've ever had to make in the history of games.
She was annoying in every possible way. From bad voice acting to a terrible character I couldn't wait to get rid of her.
I picked Tosh (holy hell is he powerful) but I kinda regret it. His voice is pretty annoying too and Nova is fucking hot. At some point i'll go back and do it differently.
Haven't gotten to the last one yet but I will 100% get rid of zerg air before ground.
|
I choose to purify the colony, mainly because the protoss research from that mission allowed me to get my techreactor but also because I main protoss and I really didn't care for the colonists.
I choose tosh's mission because I am aware that I'm not going to get to tap Nova, Tosh is a BAMF and breaking out the prision sounded more fun than Nova's mission
|
I chose to purify for the research points. It got me some arbitrary upgrade at the time.
I chose tosh because I already knew what Ghosts do, so I wanted to see Specters in action (I don't regret it)
I chose to take out Nydus because fuck Nyduses and because Zerg air is uber weak vs Terran (Thor + Viking, what can you do?). Of course, I ended up mostly skipping the Thors and just making 6 or so of the Zerg Mind Control buildings you get from the research tree and taking over every Muta, Corruptor, and Broodlord that came into range. I ended the mission with something like 35 mutas.
|
+ Show Spoiler +does the doctor survive if you choose to find a cure instead of purging the colony?
|
yes she does survive if u choose the other path.
in fact, the same thing happens with the josh path. no matter what you have chosen, subsequent event always provide evidence to support your action as righteous.
|
I like Raynor's history with the Protoss more than his relationship with the doctor, so she had to go. And I really hate the annoying surprise that is a nydus worm, so I took care of that. (14 tanks and then a swarm of BCs and vikings made the last level a cakewalk. Splash damage in the air is win.)
.....sorry Tosh, Nova's just too hot. You had a cool voice while you lasted, but you can't compete with
+ Show Spoiler +![[image loading]](http://blogs.gamefilia.com/files/imce/u409360/nova.jpg) this.

^
look at that hot ass *drooling*
|
Ghosts are much more useful than spectres, get better upgrades, and Nova's mission is much funner. I purged the colony on a whim.

You might regret it if you knew the awesomeness the Ghosts get from the armory. 
|
I chose to help the protoss because I would rather make a huge ally then score some ass. Also, killing a few to save them more seemed like the right thing to do and because Raynor's alliance was originally with the protoss.
I betrayed Tosh because I thought he would betray me. Plus, I think Raynor would rather destroy the wicked and help his enemy than the converse.
I did the zerg air but in retrospect I would probably be better off taking out nydus worms for completing brutal. Not to mention that the mission to get rid of nydus worms was totally sweet.

sided with crew members both times.
I played the other side of those choices, and wtf those feel so wrong. Nova lies to get you to betray Tosh and then kills him wtf. fuck that
and poor doctor lady

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
|
-"Tossgirl"
-Nova
-Plattform
|
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.

Ghost over Hoes
wait....
Reading people choises im so happy i did the opposite, the Tosh mission and the NYDUS mission was the best one in the whole game(Alien/Aliens tribute all the way \m/ thx Blizz)
|
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
|
i bet u if the campaign offered nova as the prize of the mission instead of some stupid ghost army, we'd all abandon tosh
|
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.

Uh, no. You aways make the "right" decision. If you side with the protoss you purge the colony of infested humans. How is that wrong?

People need to realize that Nova is not lying if you choose to side with her.
The game makes your choice out to be the right one no matter what. So if you side with Hanson the colonists are fine and if you side with Selendis Hanson is infected along with the colonists. Same goes for Tosh/Nova; if you side with Tosh Nova is lying, if you side with Nova Tosh has been leading you on.

It's not nonsense, think about it.
You side with Hanson? No trace of infected colonists anywhere, no mention of infected colonists.
You side with Selendis? A significant portion of the colonists are infected.
Think about it.

Nova is just a total badass, why would you ever pick Tosh over her? And cmon, permanently invisible ghosts? Too good to pass up.

If you side with Hanson, she finds a cure.
If you side with Nova, Tosh is justifiably pissed off because you betrayed him, and there is no need to look into the veracity of Nova's statements given that Tosh is no longer on board.

Same goes for Tosh/Nova; if you side with Tosh Hanson tells you Nova was lying, if you side with Nova Tosh acts like a scumbag and there's no mention of Nova lying. If you side with Hanson, she finds a cure. If you side with Nova, Tosh is justifiably pissed off because you betrayed him, and there is no need to look into the veracity of Nova's statements given that Tosh is no longer on board.
You sure about the cure? I don't recall that. In any case, you don't see even a single infested colonist during the mission, which is VERY different from the scenario presented by the cleansing mission.
And if you side with Nova it's implied that Tosh was leading you on the whole time just to bust the Spectres out of jail.

I picked the protoss since it gave protoss research and I felt the protoss tech tree was more appealing.
I picked Nova, this was the hardest choice. Spectres looked like a more interesting unit but Nova was cute. Cute > Interesting though.
I picked taking out the air platform. I HATE when people use mutalisks and brood lords against me. I would've rage quit before the relic reached 50% charge.

No she doesn't. (I would be EXTREMELY surprised if Blizz says she found a cure) Which is the weird part. The protoss detect infestation. The Doc says herself some of the people are infested and there is no mentioning of infested people or a cure from there on.
The whole decision should be based on "Do you believe the Doc can find a cure for infestation?" which by itself is doubtful, but trowing in the insanely short amount of time and it just become impossible.

I saved the colonist since I'm a softie and I felt like not pissing off the protoss.I sided with Nova because Tosh and his gang were just glorified maniacs...and ghosts let me nuke stuff! Nydus worm since I HATE those things.

Just rewatched the cinematic, and there's no mention of a cure.
Besides, the two missions are clearly not just different perspectives on the same incident. With the Protoss version the colony is being overrun by infested colonists, but in the Hanson version Raynor doesn't even seem to kill a single zerg-infested human. Clearly these are two separate story paths rather than two sides to the same coin.

So for the Ariel and Tosh choices, which one is going to be canon? Or is Blizzard just going to never use those characters again?

IF YOU SIDE WITH HANSON, SHE IS AS LIKELY TO HAVE HIDDEN HER INFECTION.
Side with TOSH and talk to him while hanson is onboard, he reveals enough about hanson that you can piece it together for yourself. She is definately the catalyst that drew the zerg to attack the colony in the first place.

Given that tosh remains on board, i believe him to be cannon same with Selendis. dunno for shure though.

Tosh cuz Spectres are the coolest unit in the game :o. Just for fun i did 2 missions massing spectres and nuke facilities with viking support. On Hard.
|
Actually I dont think any supporting characters will be mentioned again seeing as how the expansion will focus entirely on zerg. There of course will be confrontations with the other races, But I dont think it'll go father then the main characters in that retrospect.
|
I knew I'd do the campaign many times (started with hard and want to do achs anyway) so I chose to be "the good guy" on first run. This meant I chose doc & Nova. And since broodlords are damn annoying to take care of (I dislike vikings) they had to go. As many have suggested, tanks are so OP that it doesn't hurt to have few extra nyduses laying around.
|
i sided with nova... so what exactly did she lie about?

that specters are crazy murderers?

All I have to say is,
"I'd tap that" lol
I chose the "right" choices (minus the last one...there is no right or wrong, just went air b/c terran air > anything else)

If you sided with her she didn't actually lie about anything, if you side with Tosh the specters are mentally sound.
The story changes depending on the choices you make.
|
The game sort of makes you in the right no matter how you act. If you side with Tosh then the spectres are just political prisoners...Nova's side makes them blood thirsty murderrrers. If you side with the protoss then the colony is overrun with infestted terrans. But if you're with doc then their are no infested terrans(she could have hid her infection). The whole nydus or air thing...no right or wrong their, just your personal preferrence.
|
i Chose Purify, Tosh and take out air.
Played the other missions aswell, was fun

Selling out your own crewmate to a Dominion assassin is "the good guy" thing to do?
|
fucking bullshit website I found said that Tosh was a bad guy that's why I sided with Nova.. So naive of me choosing Nova over Tosh because I saw some dude said Tosh is evil yo.
Well, of course helped out the poor doctor.
|
I chose to save the colonies because I'm a sap. The protoss had it right though, they should have burned.
I chose the Tosh mission because he's been with me and not killed me, so I figured him a good guy. Didn't care about spectre vs. ghost but that was just a bonus.
I originally chose to take out the nydus worms because everyone said the mission is way cooler (which it is). Plus I thought they wouldn't send hardly any ground forces at me. I massed vikings like it was my job and got overrun by zerglings. Sooo I went back to a previous save and did the flyer mission and it made all in sooooo much easier.
|
the cinematic after helping Nova is so badass. worth a watch. although the dota mission with tosh was the lulz.
|
I went doctor-Raynor is the "good guy" trying to help poor downtrodden people.
Nova-Because I really wish Starcraft Ghost had come out and been awesome, and I remember reading about its story and the specters were the big bad think Mengsk was doing and were crazy.
Nydus-Because I was doing it on normal and I figured the last mission wouldn't be to hard either way and I kinda just randomly chose. I think the Nydus Tunnels mission was probably my favorite one in the game.
|
nova cause she got jibbed for her own game
|
Wow I did everything accordingly o.0
Just my instincts, cause I'm fucking scared as hell of the Protoss, and I've been loyal to Tosh (yes I admit I have feelings in games), and after all we've been through...

sided with doctor chick at first but then i realized +3 protoss research = faster science vessels so I sided with selendis the second time around
also why did someone say ghosts were better than spectres? they both get perm cloaking from armory but spectres get the 200 damage spell and ghosts get more vision (plus snipe)?

Tosh is a bad ass motherfucking permanently-cloaked Jamaican in space with voodoo powers.
NUFF SAID

Pretty much agree.
Toss tech tree is better so I went with +3 toss research
Spectres are a superior unit to ghosts if you ever use them so go with Tosh
Last one is a toss up, but you gotta do them both anyway (for brutal achievements etc.) so it's a moot point.
|
I'm surprised at the purging and Tosh being the most popular here, they both seem like the "wrong" choice to me (obviously I chose the other way...)
edit: apparently the game makes you "right" either way, but the saving and Nova seemed to me like better choices based on the information you have at the time.

I didn't think the doc could find a cure, but I still sided with her because burning the whole planet was obviously way premature just because the Protoss detect some "trace" of infestation. It would be like nuking all of Africa because of AIDS.

I picked choice one thinking it was the morally righter choice, siding with humanity. I kinda view the Protoss a bit like the Eldar in 40k; they come in the pretense of love and togetherness but then they stab you in the back and leave you (and the intended enemies) to die in the gutter. Case in point; DoW: Winter Assault, where the Eldar are all "hey Imperial Guard, let's work together to kill the Necrons!" and then they blow up the titan and leave, killing all teh guardsmen!
I picked Nova's choice, not because I wanted ghosts (Spectre's seem superior but either way I cbf getting either), but because Tosh seemed totally weird. I mean, fucker wears a voodoo doll and has stupid hair. Definitely evil.
And I picked nydus because I figured against air there'd be regular predictable paths of entry, and nydus just burst all aroudn anywhere. And because I'm a dumb fucker, because taking down the air is 290387428934789234 times the better option.
