I agree with everything you just said except Jack's armor, I feel that you'd be losing a huge part of the "**** YOU" attitude if she suited up like everyone else, unless the environment is hostile in some way - then a suit is fine.

Jack could easily scar up and paint her armor to reflect her pissed off, destructive attitude. I'm picturing a black and orange affair with "DEATH" printed on there somewhere, a skull decal, a carciature of a hand flipping the bird, etc.

If Bioware really wanted to turn heads, she should have "Exit Only" on her rear and "No ****** Allowed" on the front of her waist or something.

This.  I could just imagine Jack getting isues a suit of Cerberus armor after joining Shep, and seeing what sort of "creative vandalism" she could do to it yet keep it functional.

Personally, I think that if this is supposed to me a more serious, mature game, that the outfits would be more serious and mature.  I for one can't really take the game seriously if I'm fighting alongside such super hero-costumned characters as Jacob "Cerberus Man, Champion of Humanity" Taylor and Miranda "Mass Effect Barbie" Lawson. 

Armor can be attractive and practical looking at the same time.

I especially like Samara's armour. I wish my female Shepard could have something similar.

Added in after the fact in Shadow Broker, and even then it doesn't really
make sense. He's DYING. Having a hole in the front of his jacket will not cause him to stop dying, but a bullet in his chest will certainly kill him much faster.

Thanks for the support of my Jack armor grafitti thought, but Jacob and Miranda are wearing armor. It's just of the "light" persuasion.

Light armor is padded leather. Not cloth. I'm not gonna compare a leather jacket to a cotton t-shirt, nor am I gonna compare ME1's light armor to Miranda's hooker outfit.

I would like someone who is actually wearing some form of protective gear. It's Mass Effect, not Dead or Alive Extreme Beach Volleyball.

I don't care if Jacob and Miranda's armor is 'Light" armor. Its useless in battle, which is where I am quite often. Maybe if Jacob had better armor, he wouldn't die so much. Actually, I'll bet that if Samara actually covered herself up, she wouldn't have died 42 times during the Haestrom Tali-rescue mission. In the same area.

I see this as a practicality issue, not one of sexualized outfits so I can't really comment on...the...blond, purty girls.....

Wait, where was I?

It may have been the intention to make them look like they're wearing armor.  But to me, it appears that Jacob is wearing a superhero costume, minus the cape and cowl.  Miranda is wearing...spraypaint, mostly, it seems.

There was a picture in another thread of Miranda in what looked like light Cerberus armor.  Even though it's really just a reskin, it looks much more like "light armor" than what she has now.

[bbbbbb]

did no one consider that mirandas outfit is made of a futuristic material that is highly bullet resistant?

[Ryzaki]

Then why pray tell isn't anyone else wearing something similar?



Or Shepard for that matter?

No, but to be fair that's mainly because we're not stupid and we know that it isn't.

Someone needs post a picture of Tali and Miranda under the burqa and bikini post for comedic reasons, but I cannot be tasteless enough to do it.

Except that this 'high-tech secret organization' is Cerberus. Which hasn't had a single successful project in the history of ever, barely excluding Project Lazarus and even that ended horribly. So you'll excuse my skepticism as to their efficiency in creating a super magical material that functions like a Power Ranger uniform and deflects swords and lasers despite having all of the properties of cloth spandex otherwise, especially when you're expecting me to believe they created it for someone like Miranda, who is far less important than Shepard is, considering the fact that they spent billions reviving Shepard, which implies that Miranda is more than just expendable if not outright insignificant, considering that TIM is perfectly alright with saying 'lulz send him into a Collector trap' and risking having his multi-billion dollar pet project killed on the spot.

I have made many similar posts in other threads, but I really hate repeating myself, so I will be brief:



Wear armor to battle! Simple. Miranda, Jack, Samara, Thane, Mordin, etc. (even Grunt without bicep armor). The excuse, "they are powerful biotics, they have great shieldz!" is pathetic. once the shield is down, they are screwed. One bullet is enough to put you away if there is no armor protecting you. It makes no sense. Their outfits are fine for their "personality" on the Normandy, but not in battle. That Miranda in armor mod is awesome, and, hey you know what, its sexy too!



And wearing high heels to battle! Forget it! Trip and it's over.

[008Zulu]

Little or no atmosphere is worse, any exposed skin would become very cold rather quickly.



I just dont feel sad or sorry for the crew that decide to fight in little more than common clothes and then get shredded by enemy fire, its their own damn fault and I wont waste good medigel on someone that stupid. You can wait until the combat is over.

The suit portion of all Mass Effect armor is composed of metal-dipped polymers. This is exactly what Miranda is wearing. She has the equivalent of ME1 light armor like an Asari commando, Tali, or Liara/Kaiden.

That it is form fitting only helps my point, as that precedent was already set by ME1. Unless of course you're suggesting both games are doing it wrong, to which I don't really have a refutation.

...maybe miranda did it herself....or got someone not cerberus to make it

Mass Effect is very sexual and it's part of the appeal. The outrage over outfits seems fake to me. It's not like Mass Effect has ever hidden that fact. There is a whole race of strippers...

I have no issue with there being strippers in the ME universe, as a matter of fact I find it makes the universe feel more real.
But when my squad of elite soldiers run into battle against fully armored foes dressed like strippers that's when I start to get annoyed.

Absolutely.

And anyone defending the joke excuses of suits in ME2 is clearly illogical. "Boohoo biotics can protect you, the party doesn't go into vacuum" - all of those are petty statements that aren't even supported by evidence. Even if you are correct, who in their right mind would wear something like that? Considering that a ship can get breached as Normandy and Normandy 2 do, nobody sane would be wearing something less then a full armor. 

To me it not only looks completely bizzare how Joker gets to the escape shuttle through vacuum, but how Shep survives and is ressurected is the biggest fail in ME2. Why Jack wouldn't wear an armor is also completely illogical considering her mantra is survival above all and not vanity.

ME1 credibity just died with ME2 unfortunately. Anyone stationed on a ship that engages in battle (such as the Normandy) should be wearing some sort of protection in the case of decompression in my opinion. You could argue the Normandy is a stealth ship that doesn't engage into battle - ME2 ruined that too since the Collectors can miraculously see through it's stealth too.

Of course that's a rather extreme view of mine hence why I understand the need for casual looks on the ship. Hence my opinion can be summarized in one sentence.

"Sexiness", vanity costumes when the time is appropriate. Armor in any other occasion. Make them individual or whatever but skin in an acidic/poisonous environment ruins any kind of immersion on my part and it doesn't make any sense.

I'd rather take this .

You know, this arguement really prooves the stereotype of gamers being either hormone-raging teens or grown ups with serious issues. 

Hell, game or not, it needs some common sense. Anyone ever got punched in a real fight, karate, krav maga, training combat knives, whatever? It hurts a lot.  Now ask yourself what would you prefer if were actually in a firefight? Armor or a spandex? The bikini girls, right, because it's totally cool to prove you can stare at their .... any time and get killed, rather than actually survive and then stare for the rest of your life?...

I may be playing but I still want to immerse myself into the game and not thinking how my idiotic team members should be dying a horrific and painful death with their guts spewed out across the room or their skin melting from the toxic atmosphere because they didn't have the common sense to put some actual armor on.

I don't think there is a body armor that can can stop Mass accelerated rounds. Remember they're not shooting bullets in ME

Neither, I am not a desperate and horny teenager that needs to prove his masculinity by going after skanks.  I have class (well sometimes), and don't feel the need to change my opinions based on some photo just to avoid sounding like a prude.
