What shared armor system? If it's ME2 then it's personilased with alt app. It wouldn't be bad if crew had one outfit on ship and one combat orientated.

Now, to fix this, there are two solutions:
1. Have multiple squadmates be able to use the same item at the same time (same as ME2 weapons)
2. Come up with a smart system that allows you to reassign items easily and efficiently.
Just a question for everyone, did you like the amount of stats that came with Shepard armour's components?
It may alienate a part of the RPG fanbase, but yeah, why not?Razagon wrote...
I was taking it option 1 as granted. Why not?

Its simple:
There are three kinds of armours in ME3.
-Light armour, which increases the NPCs speed by 15%
-Medium armour, which decreases the NPCs cool down by 15%
-Heavy armour, which increases the NPCs shields by 15%
This should apply to all armours in the game, no matter what the design of the suit is.
Now, when you go into stores, you have clothing divided up by race. Turian/Human/Asari/Quarian/Drell/Synthetic/Krogan...etc etc. Within each races clothing styles, there are a minimum of three options for purchase; Light, Medium, and Heavy armours of a unique make, depending on the store. As a default, no two sets will look the same. Ever. Because Light Turian Phoenix armour and Light Asari Phoenix armour (examples) are designed differently by different in-game companies.
Problem is ME1's armor was completely randomized, and for those that did want to buy that special armor, they had to spend hours doing the Save/Reload exploit just to get that Collosus Armor. In my case, I took Medium every single time because I found Light and Heavy to be FUGLY. If ME3 used ME1's system, getting those special armors is another ****ing nightmare. Just something to consider about.With armour stats in an incredibly simple and organized fashion, the devs can concentrate almost entirely on the aesthetics of the costumes. They player will NEVER be required to buy new armour if they don't want to, because the default NPC costume will always have the same stats as those from any other set. The aesthetics, however, will be left competely up to the player.
Fine with this being optional.If I want Liara to wear something else, without rolling through major stat comparisons, I can now do that, because I know exactly what type of armour looks a certain way, and how it will effect her basic game play.
Things like extra visors, helmets, ammo packs, belts, knives, wrist guards, etc etc would all be purely aesthetic elements that the player could buy at the stores in the game. This would allow Bioware to put in as much as they wanted, without worrying about stats again. The player would never need to buy these things if they don't want to, as they serve no other purpose than to look cool, and add variety.
Problems solved:
-Money hoarding.
-Stats have been completely streamlined. Forever.
-Customization will be bigger than ever, without the problem of stats hampering your decisions.
-Balance between people who want more options, and people who don't really care.
So, it would be like a combination of C & D.
(Important to note that this applies only to the NPCs)
I'll be in agreement with this, if the armor is not randomized.

Just wondering, when you meantioned alternate appearances... How many were you talking about?Razagon wrote...
It's not expensive, it's simple to use and shows artistic wonders. Plus it can go a long way in playing strategic modifying weak parts of some squadies.
Phaedon wrote...
So, what we have basically is an original armour for the beginning of the game, one for the middle, and one towards the end. Plus the full customization thing.
That doesn't sound too bad logistically. Not to mention that it would satisfy a lot of people.

As I said, entirely different debate.Terror_K wrote...
As long as squaddies have proper, space-worthy, sensible clothing with proper helmets instead of just breathing masks when the situation calls for it and we get away from this silly comic-book style "rule of cool" approach, I don't really care how customisable their gear is.

But then again, customizing Shepard's casual outfit would still be more complex.Razagon wrote...
I really see customizing of casual as unnecessary. It's like playing sims.

Why not just go with what they had in Dragon Age II? Yes every character only had a single look, but you could purchase/loot stat boosting upgrades (And when my character romoanced Merril, her outfit completely changed)
This could be upgraded with the outfit having one or 2 alternate variations and expanding the upgrade options from a defined set to a range of options that can be purchased and looted and then applied to a character. (Example: Shield package upgrade improves kinetic barriers. can be attached to any outfit because it is a single component.)
just my 2 pennies.

What about casual clothing?
I don't think that it should be customized, but some people may like it. Not to mention that if different colour variations are not too difficult, again, why the hell not.
