Theres no particles in space, so ordinary bat wings, or any kind of wing for that matter, would provide no propulsion at all in a vaccuum.  | ||

But to players who don't go around looking for interviews from SC2 devs, I think the spell would look pretty nonsensical. | ||

1) rename Infested Terran to "Terralisk" and regraphic its attack+look, no more Gausss rifle,,, perhaps a Psionic burst with all the same stats (as Terrans were Infested for their psionic abilities) 2) rename the Infester into "Terralisk", and have it look a little bit bigger, more building like, adjust the Infested Marine graphic slightly, rename it Terraling... explain that the Zerg were able to make biological imitations of the weapons and armor of Terran Marines. Or change the actual gameplay in some way (I've got suggestions that i think are good, but their are plenty Blizzard could use) | ||

The guy's so charismatic, he could sell me any idea xD But to players who don't go around looking for interviews from SC2 devs, I think the spell would look pretty nonsensical. Dustin said in a recent interview that the infestor eats the marines but that doesnt explain what happens in a ZvP or ZvZ. | ||

It was really stupid. It's like using cheats in Age of empires. Viper cars, monster trucks, giant bouncing statues of George Washington, cannons that shoot armadillos, and flying bears that fire laser beams from their eyes are just so hilarious that you like to use them to blast your enemies. In a serious game though, it'd make you grimace in convulsion. | ||

 Starcraft isn't too bad at making it sound believable, but things like this is just stupid. I also thought the "protoss don't eat but get all their energy from sunlight"-deal was bullshit. | ||

I think you misunderstand. Suspension of disbelief is why we dont have a problem with 2 warring alien races and an alternate humanity. | ||

I wish there was a "don't care" option though. "Breaking suspension of disbelief" is kind of a weird phrase if I think too hard about it | ||

I don't remember if I answered this poll how I intended to or not >.< "Breaking suspension of disbelief" is kind of a weird phrase I wish there was a "don't care" option though. Sorry about that. I would have phrased it as "Is Spawn Infested Terrans Wierd?" but then people would just say everything about SC is wierd which is missing the point. The point is that there is a limit to how willing we are to believe something and that might be different for every player. | ||

But the poll says the reverse, so I guess I should have voted a yes. | ||

I admit it. Fail poll is fail. I tried putting the question in the title but it was to long so i quickly put another one in. Really wish it was possible to edit titles... Still judging from the comments alone it appears the vast majority of players do find the current explaination acceptable. | ||
