well if sex sells then damn i gotta start using it for my business but then again i dont know how you would incorporate it into the welding industry

Your welders are bikin clad women, that'd help I'm sure. I guess they'd want protective clothing though, have it be see-through.

I can't believe this thread has so many comments... Oh what the heck, might as well contribute to it *g*

I'm a woman myself and I think femShep is the first female character in a video game in ages, maybe ever, that actually does not look like a porn chick. And I really really appreciate that! The combat armor IS NOT oversexed. I don't even find her posture wrong. My own posture is actually quite similar...yes, I do have lower back pain sometimes, but check out women on the street and you'll find many with that kind of posture. The first time I played ME I was pleasantly surprised to find femShep had a normal body.
All the other women in ME are ridiculously oversexed, yes. Most players are still men, so makes sense I guess. Still, BW didn't overdo it in ME.  Ivy from Soul Calibur is the best exampe. Or check out Magna Carta 2, if you need a good laugh:



Great game for adolescent boys I actually finished it but oh my, I'm getting to old for JRPGs....

Other than the way they were obviously designed to "enhance" figure and definition (on females and males both: really; 99% of guys around where I live are nowhere near that buff and V-shaped, regardless of age) and sacrifice a good bit of utility for these aestetics, I am quite fond of the ME1 armor, from a pseudoscience practical point of view.

You had the "wet suit" base skin, which may have been properly explained in codex, but I never checked that out and just imagined it as something like a sort of ceramic fiber mat, whose fibres would interlock under sudden hard stress, whilst allowing freedom of "slow" movement and progressively collapse, as the wave of impact momentum travels through it, dissipating force and distributing it over a large area, then self heal.
I really liked how the different duty weights mostly meant you had different thicknesses of this material and how you got more "shapeless" with the thicker layers.
Sealing layers on both sides of this and then a protection/encumbrance balance of ceramic plating over, as the first line of defense against slugs and shrapnel.

ME2 N7 armor felt more like American football gear, when compared to the above, with its "carbon fibre" plating floating around you, seemingly on springs. As for most of the team, they simply don't do armor at all - they're all about looking stylish.

awww boohoo



Why don't we all just reshape all Mass Effect characters into faceless blobs so it won't offend any women?

[Badpie]

I'm pretty sure there are no women being offended. You missed the entire point of the OP I think.

[Mecha Tengu]

anyone else offended then?
geez, I can't enter a fictional world with hot busty women and tentacle mind rape without someone complaining about over sexualization
Video games are a place where I can escape the nagging of over sensitive women and chill with other dudes who have a sense of humour, who can respect some nice fantasy art

but oh noez, here come the new generation of girl gamerz

Mm, it's also posted by a guy, and a troll at that, and the thread has a lot women coming on here arguing the OP, hence your accusations towards a new generation of over sensitive gamer girls made no sense.

how do you know hes a troll. Just because it's outrageous, doesn't automatically mean hes a troll

[Count Viceroy]

Whatever, thats not important. You just ignored everything else I said. You know the part where your post was declared null.

[Beocat]

Hmm, I think the armor was fine the way it was. It does make sense to have different armor for the different genders. Most guys have a V figure and most women will probably have more horizontal space needed at the top going in a different direction from the guys (the guys with man-boobs might need some too but...). Therefore, it makes sense they'd need different fitting armor. Also, the armor was fully covering, for both genders, and again made perfect sense. It's the military, it's meant for battle, should be functional and protecting in every way. Bioware did a great job with that. More developers should learn from that.



The whole metal bikini idea of being some masterfully perfect armor for women is just...impractical and unrealistic. Really...if women have metal bikinis, I want to see some men in metal speedos! Technically, they still have the important parts well protected so they should be good to go! Haha...

Well don't forget the part about how this is like the third thread he's started like this.

Okay NOW I'm offended.

Males like their females to be hot. Female like their characters to be cute. People who are disturbingly politically correct worry about sexualization levels of mass effect armor. The only strange character as far as sexuality goes that I can think of is probably Jack, and it makes sense with her personality problems. Same goes for everyone, Miranda uses it as another advantage. I don't see how Tali or Kasumi could be questioned. Samara just has a hint of it. All in all, I love their art style, I don't need everyone wearing star trek uniforms, this game is supposed to be appealing on all levels.

He doesn't sound like he's worth it, Badpie.

Besides, what do I care if what male gamers want is a safe haven of sexual immaturity? Whatevs. All it means is they're persecuted for their sexual immaturity in real life in such a way they need to escape it, and isn't that a plus?

Yes. Yes, I think it is.

[Spartas Husky]

Ok so one dude, made you generalize... lol



Either way.... hopefully we can get some damn armor for squadies when on missions

[Nightwriter]

Generalize?

Anyway...

I'm not really up in arms about sexualization, really. Kind of stupid to be continuously outraged about something that’s everywhere. But I feel there's a line between sexualization and ridiculousness... and tastelessness.

I think people are more picky about sexualization in the ME series because it claims a more tastefully realistic setting. It's not fantasy and most of its science is surprisingly fleshed out and rooted in fact. It feels more like the real world, if futurized. So when you have characters walking around in vacuum space with their cleavage hanging out, yes, you notice it more.
