realism comes secondary to gameplay - always. the individual outfits, whilst perhaps impractical, certainly went a long way to establishing character individuality and instant-recognisability, especially on the battlefield - something all-important in a character-driven game. frankly, of all the complaints i've heard about the game, this is one of the most minor ones, and yes, you are still in the minority - do you really think that the majority of fans - let alone the millions of casual players - really care that jack is running around semi-naked in combat/other zones? no, no they don't - they remember her for it, though.
But it has absolutely
nothing to do with gameplay: it's purely an aesthetic thing. Changing their get-up isn't going to effect the gameplay side of things whatsoever. Again, you can still have individual outfits without having to be ridicuous and unrealistic about it: Tali, Garrus, Grunt, etc. all managed to do it after all. As much as I'd prefer them to be wearing proper get-up whenever they're in battle, I'd have at least accepted it if most of the time they were as they are in ME2 now if they'd have just made sure that they were properly covered and helmeted only during the few places where they should have been (i.e. an extra bit of cloth where Miranda and Samara's clevage is and Thane's exposed chest is and a full-faced helmet, etc.).
And I don't think it's minor at all, since it near-on completely ruins the entire Mass Effect experience for me (and several others) far more than any gameplay issues do. If all you care about is the gameplay and Mass Effect as being a game that's fine, but some of us actually want to get into this universe and see the series as more than just a series of games, and bullcrap like that doesn't really do much to help immerse us in the universe and setting.
Also, there's a difference between people who "don't really care" about it and those who actually think it's better. If you and most others don't care, then there's no harm in changing it for those of us that do. You're basically talking about those who are against vs. those who are apathetic on the issue, which isn't the same as those who are against vs. those who are pro. From where I'm sitting, I do believe the majority of actual Mass Effect fans (i.e. the ones who appreciate Mass Effect as more than just some games along with the many others out there) would prefer the squaddies to be wearing proper clothing, judging from what I've seen here on the forums. I'll fully admit that more players prefer ME2, and that a great deal of players support most of the changes that were made from ME1 to ME2, but from what I can tell most non-casual, hardcore Mass Effect fans want their squaddies in proper gear.
Edit: Okay, sorry about diverting from topic. I think I've said all I need to say about this anyway, so I'll leave it at that.
