Poll: Would you like to see a female ghost model in multiplayer? (Vote): Yes (Vote): No
We all know that there are now 2 versions of the Dark Templar in multiplayer. How would you feel if Blizzard included a female ghost model in a similar manner?
Please post your reason after voting and if you are not in favor could you also post how you feel about the 2 DT situation.
Just want to get the TL communities consensus. I did this poll over at SCLegacy and 80% of the fans over there would like to see a female ghost model.
Update: SpiderBrigade (SCLegacy) made this awesome version of the ghost
If anyone has photoshop skills I think it would be great if we could take away the back pack and give her a different bodysuit.
Doomfish also made an awesome conversion of what he thinks the ghost should look like
Now its your turn. Throw together what you think the ghost should look like and maybe we can vote to see whose is best.
A.) The current ghost model looks a bit goofy and out of place B.) There is no longer a female infantry unit currently in Starcraft 2 C.) Female special ops characters always feel right in every game, it's just badass.
I wouldn't mind it, the differences between a female and male ghost wouldn't have to be very big at all anyway, so it wouldn't lead to any kind of confusion.
I'm against two types of DTs in multiplayer, mostly because it sets a bad precedent. Why would you have two types of DTs? Why not have two models for marines, or for zealots? Why not have three models for the DT, or four? Also, I hate how the Zer'atai tribe DT looks.
I do like the idea of two ghost models, though. It kind of helps give the unit a certain individuality- you won't see hordes of ghosts like you would with marines or zerglings, these are special ops units- the distinctiveness suits them. Besides, the Terran army could use a female infantry unit.
Real reason (or atleast the mature part of me): No visible females in SC2 wtf is up with that?! Also i really like the concept of high tier units looking different unlike the normal troopers who all (should imo) look the same.

LOL both great points.
I also feel that there should only be one multiplayer model for each unit. But given that the DT already breaks that rule I see no reason Ghost shouldnt have a female version. I also dont think that every unit should have 2-3 models. Only the higly individualized special units (ghosts, DT maybe HT or a Zerg unit but no more).
We dont want the game to be confusing to new players but I believe if done right female ghosts would be great.
