I think it was put in place to make them stand out and be more easy to identify as silhouettes on the battlefield cause in ME1 all humanoids pretty much looked the same in the heat of battle. The only thing that seperated them was the possible difference in armortexture. I don't really mind it, I can suspend disbelief enough to actually think that there is some kind of "field" around them that is projected.
What're your thoughts on the oversexualized/unarmored Squaddies?

I love them. Seriously, I'm gay and all, but I love Miranda, Jack and Samara's outfits. I mean, at the end of the day it's just a game, no matter how realistic they will make it. And I would rather see them in their ****ty, unrealistic outfits than in big bulky armor. Just my personal preference.
I mean, I couldn't help but laugh at all the comments Ashley's new look has got, all the ****ing and whining over a new hairstyle, armor and make-up.

None of the ME2 characters except for Garrus and Tali had proper environmental suits. Grunt and Zaeed had exposed arms, the rest were just wearing casual suits into battle. It may have been sort of alright, because ME2 doesn't have as many planets with environmental hazards as ME1. However, running around with naked skin in unheated areas like Geth Station or jumping into open space from a derelict Reaper was kind of silly looking.
I hope that in ME3 characters will have battle\\environmental suits AND casual suits like it was in ME1.

Its become rather silly. I can understand them wearing what ever they want on the ship but during battle?

It may be a game but it should at least be consistent in its own universe. My Shepard is a Biotic too and wears civie clothes while on the Normandy. Yet when he goes on missions? He wears armor. My team should wear armor just like him because Shepard doesn't get idiots he/she gets the 'best' and the 'best' know what the heck proper armor is.

My Topic so I can make the rules. Bringing up God only ends up starting arguements thus I don't want it in here nor do I want anything that involves supporting or demeaning any Religions.

Outside the ship they should have kept it "realistic" and have them all wear combat suits.
I hope for ME3 they'll have them wear individual/casual clothes on the Normandy and armour on missions, just like Shep in ME2.

ARMOUR PLZ
I can see it now...
Bioware - They wanted armor? Well, why not do Apperance Packs for ME3 like ME2?
Some Fans - Yay! Armor!
The Rest of the Fanbase - Wait... Didn't they.... What?

I'm happy with the character's outfits in ME2, especially Miranda's catsuit.

Didn't bug me in ME2, but since people seem to be bugged by that, why not put some on them.
However, I'd like to read what people think the respective sets of armor should look like. ME2 characters were very distinctive, each one in his/her own way, and it wouldn't be so great to lose that. I believe the dress-up can be done in a way that retains each one's personal features, like something they would have chosen by themselves.

A casual outfit for home base and separate armour for use in the field. It's not too complicated and it makes sense. They don't have to have customisable armour so both sets can still be unique to the characters. Plus, it gives them time to wash their catsuits once in a while.

They can make distinctive armor for them as well. I've seen some pretty sick and awesome looking armor for other games, shows, movies, and the such on Sci-Fi setting in the future. If you can make clothes look unique you can also make armor look unique. Just saying.

Don't care.
I agree and thats why they slimmed down the amour in ME2 from the heavy armour in ME1 to make shepherd fit in more with the casual outfits/armour in ME2 and it appears it will be same for ME3 from what I have seen of the characters so far
All they will do is offer a download similar to the alternative amour packs you can buy for ME2 for ME3 (hopefully with toggle visors though hated the visors they came with)

What do you mean slimed down? My Biotic was wearing much heavier armor in ME2 than what he could wear in ME1. The civie clothes isn't anything new and was always for Normandy time. It was a good system.
Civie cloths on Normandy and armor for missions. It makes sense.

If Bioware dont change it then lets see Shep and Garrus fighting in shorts and a tank top.

First Mass Effect didnt need that juvenile fanservice. Everybody was always in appropiate outfits and it all felt consistent, realistic and awesome.

some would want female squaddies to dress in a feminine fashion under fire rather than wearing armor because god wanted men and women to look different?
GTFO...

They either don't care or don't believe that armor can be made to look unique despite other companies making very unique armor for their characters.
Though I suppose going the comic book route may have pushed the ME series towards oversexualizing woman and men(I'm looking at you Jacob and Thane) to try and attract a 'certian' crowd that always picks Male Shepard the Soldier.

Uniforms, then? They are rejoining the Systems Alliance. From the screenshots seen so far, Ashley has a circle pattern on her shoulder which also appears on Garrus' armour, and he practically lives in it.Babli wrote...

While I can see the point when it comes to hostile environments or space battles I'm not sure I agree about the absolute need for armour in general.
After all, you don't see many soldiers on a modern battlefield going around in the equivalent of medieval Plate Armour with completely enclosed helmets do you? Put some kevlar underneath and I bet they would be much better protected from shrapnel and bullets and other explosive projectiles then they are currently. But, even so, the idea is ludicrous.
You need to have flexibility and speed and a good field of vision. You don't get that wearing Plate Armour.
In Mass Effect, there's even less need (what with shields and barriers etc.) but, even without that, Miranda's outfit could be twice as tough as Kevlar for all we know. Just because it's figure hugging is neither here not there.
In ME1 only certain classes could go above light armour. It takes training to manouveur properly with cumbersome armour (not to mention cybernetic strength implants) and, in some cases, I could easily see why people like Kasumi would not be strong enough to move around in heavy armour even if they wanted to.
All of that logic aside, however, I definitely prefer to see the girls looking sexy. Sorry if that's not politcally correct or logical but it shouldn't be surprising. I don't mind if Bioware want to create alternate costumes for people who prefer their women to cover up but different people like different things from their games and I like the costumes just the way they are.
Regards
Julian

@Thrombin: Plate armour isn't going to hold up against gunfire, is it? I think you'll find modern soldiers have combat attire and casual attire. Military personnel have quite a number of different uniforms, in fact.
And that certainly doesn't translate to Mass Effect. When your barrier or shield goes down, you want a back up to stop those bullets. Why rely on only one form of defence? If armour really is that unnecessary, why should Shepard even bother with it?
ETA: Also, the problem wasn't only with combat but hostile environments in general. The squad go to planets that are toxic or hazardous to be exposed to and yet some characters only wear small breathers.

I don't like it.
When it comes to a military operation, I prefer believable gear. When I want to see boobies and and ass, well, that's why I got married, isn't it?
Frankly, it's ok in a fantasy game, if a mage show up in light-to-none armor, but in a sequel to a game where everyone used some kind of protection, it's just dull.
I expect Mass Effect 3 to be a serious game, much more serious than ME2 was universe-wise. And maybe I'm wrong, we'll see.
