Moira Preview (New Hero!) – Overwatch Panel – Blizzcon 2017

segadores-y-soldados:

Pulling up a list of relevant quotes with timestamps for future reference (all italics represent emphasis as said by the speaker):

1. “She was recruited by Gabriel Reyes to be a member of Blackwatch.  And uh, during that time she had relationships with the Blackwatch crew – McCree, Genji – they all have their own sort of likes and dislikes for each other.  Reyes wanted someone could help advise him on, uh, some matters of genetics that he was, uh, interested in, shall we say.” – Michael Chu, 3:47 (https://youtu.be/HsJU3PEk9JY?t=227)

2. “In the present day, Moira has allied herself with Talon now that Overwatch is gone.  When you think about Moira’s goals, figuring out these building blocks of human evolution, and her need to like push forward science at any cost, that really meshes well with the goal of Talon – and so she has found new patrons, like Doomfist.” – Michael Chu, 4:20 (eyyyyyyy) (https://youtu.be/HsJU3PEk9JY?t=260)

3. “Currently, in addition to her duties as a scientist for Talon, Moira was also invited by the Ministers of Oasis to become their Minister of Genetics, and so she is basically leading up their genetic research at the city – and this [referring to her Oasis skin] is what she’d wear when she’s over there.” – Michael Chu, 11:12 (https://youtu.be/HsJU3PEk9JY?t=672) (I KNEW shady stuff was going down in Oasis).

4. Geoff Goodman: “It [Her Fade ability] has some similarities to Reaper’s wraith form…uh which is…it’s funny how that works out.”
Michael Chu: “You know, we obviously – there’s a…there’s a close relationship between Moira and Reyes-slash-Reaper, and I think one of the fun things we were able to do is to sort of hint at some of those things in her, uh, abilities.”
Geoff Goodman: “She’s helping Reaper out and is like, ‘You know, I think I could make this better, I have an idea.’”
Michael Chu: “Professional relationship.”
Geoff Goodman: “Ahaha, yes…good call.”
Michael Chu: “You know what I’m talking about.”
[Whole panel laughs]
