Ugh I don't know how to post a link

The bottom of Miranda's armor is probably a thong.

Miranda in armor is awesome. Might actually use her in combat in that. Tali's armored bra is kinda meh, but whatever. Gotta ask though, did Grunt really need another armor suit? I would have thought Samara needed it more. Oh well, here's to hoping for Alternate Appearance Pack 3 I guess...

That's a fan made armor.

 And if this really is BWs idea of "Bridging ME 2 - ME 3:" now this is certaintly a very good time to consider is it really worth 5 bucks to be able to play barbie with the computer characters.

This is certainly not the bridging DLC. CDN would have started up again if it was. I am as impatient for a story DLC as you are, but this pack is better than nothing.

I would argue that saying that "[a DLC that adds no substance to the game] is better than nothing" is roughly equivalent to saying "Eating crap is better than nothing" both have no beneficial, or relatively few, nutrients to contribute to the game and body respectively while the starving man(for DLC and food) is temporarily satiated by both overall it is a drain on the system whether that system belong to the game or the human body in the example.

A very extreme example but one that proves the point.

The pack tells you that they are still working on content. It may not
be what every likes, but to those of us who do like it, we rejoice. I'm
sure not everyone bought into some of the other DLCs that weren't story
based either. But they are still working on content, we just won't see
it all at once.

Right...Now to use other EA games for this one. BFBC2 Has a whopping 2 or 3 DLCs, including Vietnam Expansion, the fact that Specact DLC was available a good 3 months before the PC to the console and the astonishing lack of support for the PC launch, along with the exclusion of some type of hold out mode. Nearly all of the map packs being included in the initial game and simply locked up tight shows they plan on supporting the game how?

Momentary "Hey look here's some crap to buy" does not equate to supporting the game. It equates to milking the series and the fanbase. In ME 2 however it seems that the majority of DLC is simply Items that could've been added to games or to the stores in Dev. to give some variation to the armory. However for some, conveniantly costly to the consumer, they seem to have been excluded and reserved for DLC purposes. Now from the POV that everything but LotSB and Project Overlord could have been built into the game and locked up tight, like kasumi for those who don't know the knowledge of kasumi has been present since the game released and hackers got to work on the code she was included in the base game (from what i understand) at least in a half useable form just locked away waiting for basically authorization to be used, This has been the best scam in the history of internet scams. They have managed to rob you blind with stuff that not only should've been present in the first place but stuff that, in some cases, was already there.

This is not to say i think BW has completely Failed us. Just to point out that these assumptions can and have been proven false by EAs past marketing decisions.

No, this is not yet available on the Japanese Marketplace. The first Alt. Appearance pack and the Equalizer, Aegis, and Firepower packs were released just the other day over there, I'm guessing they just used whichever ME2 banner was uploaded most recently.

It proves that you fail at drawing analogies. DLC are not food, they're drugs, and a small dose now is better than a bigger dose later. It sure as hell won't make you healthier, whether it's an extra mission or just a squadmate armor pack. It may, however, make Miranda look somewhat healthier in combat, which is a good thing.

Yes, this is actually a very nice armor.

And I wish we can get a DLC for the female shepard with something like this !


No buy for me if the DLC is about companions only (or another bulky armor for shepard).

So far, given the small image provided, I'm going to reserve judgement until I've seen full-body, full sized shots. Having said that, whilst Miranda in armour would be awesome, Grunt and Tali don't need more alternate outfits, the ones they have are perfectly fine.

At the same time, I'm a bit concerned with Miranda. Yes the visor would look good and make sense in combat, but is she going to take the bloody thing off on the Normandy? If she's wandering around in the armour w/headgear on the Normandy, it'll be almost as silly as wandering around in her PJ's in combat.

Interesting pint of view.  I would argue that Mass Effect itself is the drug and the DLC is feeding the addiction.  How it feels to me anyway.  And I'm ready to feed it further.

that is a much better example. Now there are several terribly bad aspects:
1) no substance is added
2) you loose money
3)you become addicted and loose more money
4)for the quality of what your supplier supplies decreases because he knows yo9u'll buy it
5) you loose more money on ****
6) finally you die from OD in this case you quite BWs fanbase.

Its actually just the texture file for the Cerberus DLC armor (the one that came with the Eviscerator) applied to Miranda's normal character model.

Well, most likely no, but you can use the terminal to the left of the CIC to swap the squadmate outfits around before talking to them (wish it was possible to alter Shepard's armor from there too).

I imagine if you want her to take the visor off on the Normandy, you'll have to change her appearance for when she is there.  It's not like Shepard's armor locker sadly.

[implodinggoat]

For the record I'm still pulling for the armor Liara was wearing on the Mass Effect Redemption cover. I think Miranda or Samara would look damn good in it.

Here. No need to link:

grunt's is cool, the other two are a load of crap - miranda's is just reskinned female N7 armour, with a one-eye visor; and tali's is a plain re-skin from the looks of things. i hope the whiners are happy now they've got their wish of everyone running around in generic armour sets. <_<

Agreed.  From that pic Grunt's armor looks pretty cool; but Tali's and Miranda's are dissapointing.

Miranda's in particular irritates me since she already has two armors with Ceberus emblems all over it.  I was hoping they'd give us something for her without that damned insignia all over it.

[Mystranna Kelteel]

I think Miranda's armor more closely resembles the ME1 female medium armor than it does the ME2 female N7.

1) Miranda finally gets her ass covered. This allows me to use her as a squadmate without getting a permanent facepalm mark on my face. For me, it's substance.
2) I lose two bucks Bioware can (hopefully) use to make ME3 better.
3) At the rate they're currently releasing the DLC, I won't go bankrupt any time soon.
4) The only case the quality of the game is guaranteed to drop is EA cuts ME3 funding.
5) It's a bloody $2 DLC. Take it as me showing that I'm still interested enough in Mass Effect to spend money on it.
6) EA can invest more heavily into ME3 knowing that there is still interest. Unless they collapse before it's out, but not buying the DLC sure isn't going to help with that.

In the current economy, they're trying to make money however they can. It all comes down to, are you willing to show support or are you going to go on about how they should make everything excellent from the start and give out extras for free.

huh, makes sense, I've just never used that function . It'll be a bit annoying for micro-managing her though. *sigh* why, oh why couldn't Bioware have just left squadmate outfits as they were in ME1? One outfit worn on the Normandy, one worn on missions. Easy!

Sadly, yes. Same problem with Jack (wish there was an option with jacket but without the silly brass "visor"

It resembles bits and pieces from all over, but I don't think it looks like any single armor (at least what's visible so far).
