Interesting article. I didn't think the sires were anything more than human/locust crossbreed attempts the first time I saw them, but now I dunno. They are definitely somewhere in between human and locust when you look at their features to be sure though.
That New Hope medical file pictured is also really intriguing, as it almost sounds like that patient was slowly mutating into a Locust; heavy breathing, discolored eyes, swollen joints, long nail growth and shortened hair, they all fit the bill when describing your average locust grunt...
If humans have been on Sera for millenia, I can easily see the mutating people going underground and turning into the locust, it wouldn't take them THAT long to build all that they had, 500 years or so is more than enough, especially if they still had access to some human technology.
Heh, there's also the "Darwin's Parachute" achievement from BF Bad Company. Fall to your death by bailing out of a helicopter...not so stupid in itself, but the name is what seals it.
"running around the ship to fix one malfunctioning doodad after another makes you feel more like a space handyman than an action hero."
Erm...Issac IS a space engineer! That's an incredibly stupid reason to dock the game, because the whole point is that he's just an average guy thrust into a desolate situation. He's not a space marine, or meant to be a big huge hero; he's just trying to fight desperately (with mining tools no less!) to find his way out of hell alive, and maybe find his girl while he's at it.
