In the recent 1UP interview it was hinted the possibility of Ghosts being of both genders in-game. This, of course, brings Nova to mind. Do you think Nova will somehow feature into SC2? (Just like how Thrall from Lord of the Clans' storyline went into WC lore).

Also, this picture here shows a female Ghost behind Arturus. My thought is that SC2's Ghosts will remain as males, but campaign-wise female Ghosts will feature as Specters (advanced Ghosts introduced from SC:G lore). If I'm not mistaken Nova of SC:G is being trained/already is a Specter.

Your thoughts?

Poll: How will SC:G and Ghosts in general be in SC2?
(Vote): SC:G? Blasphemy!
(Vote): Male Ghosts, female Specters, and SC2 will have SC:G lore integration

they might be both female and male ghosts in-game as well.

Look at AoE. They had both male and female citizen workers, still no difference between em

Lol. You guys never heard of something called speculation have you?

Yeah. But I'm talking about the possibility of having Nova and the Specters. I highly doubt the male Ghosts in melee games will be changed, but if Specters are in, it'll be interesting since they might have different abilities from normal Ghosts then eh?

No offence and no flame, but does this really matter?

Lol why does it have to matter? Of course, it wont be a game-changing discussion or anything. To simply out of curiosity see what other's thoughts are regarding a particular matter; is that so wrong?

EDIT: For people that don't see the point of this thread, just don't post non-constructive posts

Vote or don't vote, and maybe drop a comment of your own two cents worth. I'm just curious to know the community's thoughts on this topic. It's as simple as that.

it would buff the terran quite a bit
maybe the male would have lockdown and female would havenuke/ cloak and have diffrent stats to even it out, but if you think of it that way, then 1 gohst could their entire amount of energy dedicated to lockdown and the other completly dedicated to cloak, the cost might go up or down or whichever blizzard wants it to, but having more than 2 spellcasters in a race would buff it, and the pros who play terran would obviously dominate because they have enough micro and knowledge to use spellcasters to the full extent.

its the same way as if zerg would use defilers lots or toss would use dark archons

i saw a video on youtube where a defiler was being attacked by a wraith or something and ds where he was made some unit i couldnt what, consumed it and darkswarmed all the way somewhere, but kept it alive. i lolololed in my pants casue it was brilliant, although it took lots of time and micro away fro mthe rest of the game. but still. it was sweet.

i think sc2 should have a single ghost, like AoE, they could be diffrnet genders generated at random, but would do the same stuff.

No female ghost units, but Nova will be a hero ghost. I hope heroes will have abilities that aren't in multiplayer (like 1 per hero), that would make replaying the campaign more interesting...

agreed, I'm sure that no one wants to give normal units tons of special abilities like in WC3, but the heros in the campaigns should have a few extra (it was like that way in original SC too). That way we can satisfy both the pro gamers and the UMS players.

This wouldn't be new anyway. Ghosts were male in SC but Sarah Kerrigan was also a Hero Ghost.

When was gender ever an issue in the game? All units could be female and it wouldnt make a difference, so I dont see why you even expect a discussion out of this thread.

I hope the campaign isnt mind numbingly boring like SC BW or original SC (which was a bit better because it was original). I think it should not be like melee games, but rather objective based.
