If they do Kasumi, and Zaeed who would they add with them Shepard? how many characters are left. Jacob, Legion, Mordin, Samara/??????. So I suppose we could get 2 more alt packs with the 6 people left. I do hope they give one more armor for Shepard. Maybe as a teaser for ME3 like reaper metal or something lol I wonder how that would look.

So, basically, Garrus' look is so cool that the rest of the squaddies have started to copy him?

"i hope the whiners are happy now they've got their wish of everyone running around in generic armour sets."



I hope that they're not. I hope that Miranda's outfit doesn't come with a proper helmet and it irritates those that whined about non-armoured squadmates the same way that that Bioware's pandering to them irritates me.

Yes. BioWare is clearly "pandering" to the people who didn't like squadies wearing casual clothes in combat by finally giving ONE character honest armor after nearly a year. Your logic is impressive.

I notice the visors are now see-through. The main reason the visors in AP1 got so much grief was that they covered the eyes which took a lot out of some cinematics (eg. Jack's puppy eyes at the end of her loyalty).

Anyway, it looks good, will probably buy it. I'm not missing out on the chance to have my Krogan foster child wearing two visors which makes him look like he's got a serious eye problem.

I would prefer a LOTSB styled DLC, but I am sure one will come later, Alt appearances packs are good, especially of they:
Give everyone an alternate look
The look is functional in the game and not just wardrobe additions.

Tali looks like her suit got reinforced for heavy action from little I can tell by the promo pic but Miranda was the one who got a serious improvement since she was running around without any sort of protection. AP2 is a win in my book. Now if they could get all the non-armored squad members to at least look like they had some protection on, that'd be great. Sadly, Thane and Jack already got their lovin' from BioWare. But I got to admit the jacket was a nice touch for Jack. Hate the shades. They fixed Garrus's armor too with that last one. Didn't think Grunt needed anything.

"Generic" armor for the sake of appearance is better than no armor look at all. Too bad they aren't gonna wear more than that silly plastic mask in some areas. Makes no sense to not wear a helmet in those places. Even Garrus wears his old helmet in non-breathable areas.

It's certainly more impressive than your diction.

If you're seriously trying to dispute the fact that Miranda's new, generic armour is anything less than Bioware "catering to the desires of others" then you should probably find a more educative way to spend your time than calling the intelligence of random internet users into question.

It's clear when comparing the squad attire choices in both Mass Effect games, that the artists wanted to take a different approach with ME2. Style over practicality, you might say. Miranda's new generic armour goes against that. Ergo, it's pandering.

You make an odd point. They're selling the pack. For money. Of course they're going to make the outfits desirable by others. Otherwise they wouldn't sell any. A simple reskin isn't going to be high on the desirability scale unless its free.

But its really just as likely the Designers came up with a new look they thought was nifty and rolled with it. Because a more armored outfit is anything but fan service.

Now if comes with a plaid schoolgirl skirt, I might be inclined to agree with you...Image IPB

Lol.

Dissapointed that Tali's is simple, but it's still nice. Nice to see an armoured Miranda, and Grunt's new armour looks sweet.

That would have been messed up if Miranda ended up with a Cerberus cheerleading/school girl outfit.....I would have lost some faith in BioWare if that had happened.

Also big YES to no sunglasses. Jack had a great new outfit, but the sunglasses make me sad, seeing as she actually had very expressive eyes.

It would be kinda funny to see threads like that pop up.

Like the "We want Earth for ME3, Bioware!" "Earth in ME3? Really Bioware?" threads.

I must agree there. That outfit was her best one. But the glasses covered up one of her best features. (her mouth being the other...get your mind out of the gutter!)

You already have 2 catsuits for Miranda while we "generic armor lovers" are after a YEAR are getting at least one armor for squadmate. Let us enjoy it please, no one dictates you to put Miranda in armor in your game, but many others want it.

Hopefully they've learned that people won't put up with badly thought out reskins with 80s mirror shades.

Certainly looks like it from what little it shows on that picture.
Miranda looks like she's wearing a decent suit of armour, Tali looks a little more armoured and grunt looks hard as nails, ( although he looks like he still has bare arms. And why oh why does everyone have to have eyegear of some kind?Image IPB).

So that means that so far, we've had :
Pack 1 - Garrus, Thane and Jack
Pack 2 - Miranda, Tali and Grunt
Who and what do you reckon are going in Packs 3 and 4? ( If they come out. )
I'm hoping that it'll be..
Pack 3 - Mordin with Salarian combat armour, Samara/Morinth with Asari commando armour and Zaeed with Heavy Blue Suns armour.
Pack 4 - Jacob with Kestrel , Legion with no stupid sodding hole in his chest and Kasumi with ... well, i'm not sure about Kasumi as I like what she wears already.

No offense, but if you want to play "pretty-in-combat" dress-up, maybe you could just buy some Barbie dolls and action figure weapons, and have the time of your life playing non-sensical firefights.

On a more serious note, you do get that most people are actually dissatisfied with BioWare's new "style above all sense" approach for Mass Effect 2, right?

I feel sorry for Bioware. They get stick for not giving Miranda armour, so they give her armour, but they get fans complaining due to it not being protective enough, and others saying that they preffered her old outfit?



I agree with Phadeon. I remember ages ago the threads back saying "will earth be in ME3" and threads before that, now there's threads cropping up everywhere complaining about it?

Finally it looks like Miranda is getting armor. I liked the style of the outfits but they didn't feel appropriate for the context of Mass Effect. I often thought the costumes looked like my squadmates were trying to dress up like comic book characters.



Here is hoping that Samara gets body armor too!

Because we also want helmets for space exposure :P but at least I will be able to use Miranda in non-space combat. But for mission in space, Garrus and Tali are still the only ones ready for it in my playthroughs ^_^

Because some of us dont want "Save Ferelden Earth" scenario to be whole focus of a game as it looks from EA description.

Don't judge the game before we learn anything beyond a teaser trailer (usually not accurate) and a (leaked) blurb that may be subject to change. The term Earth may have even be used simply for marketing purposes.

Also, humanity has always been the focus of the games, and even since ME1 it's been obvious Bioware was trying to say they have a large role in stopping the reapers. I don't get the humanity complaints...

Then there'll be threads complaining about the community "runing the games for them", like the other day.:huh:

You're skirting the point; the point being that after a year of waiting, throwing a single bone to the fanbase over what is quite possibly THE MOST REQUESTED appearance change in all of Mass Effect is hardly an example of BioWare "pandering" to anyone.

And even if they were, considering how much they've "pandered" to the 14-year-old X-treme shooter crowd with the thermal clip system and the sexified outfits, I don't think it's too much to ask that they throw a little bone from time to time to their old-school fans.

Although i wasn't involved in anything even remotely resembling a heavy firefight, i served in the Russian navy. If you want to experience a more serious and realistic approach to combat, maybe you could do that?

Am i supposed to care that some players dislike the new approach? I love it, and that's what Bioware did with ME2. I really, really hope that this appearance pack isn't a sign of things to come in Mass Effect 3.
