Yeah bad analogy dude.

Neither of which was my point. I made a rash judgement based on limited information. I also could of added the history of BioWare 's affinity for large bald men (Minsc) and could of been convinced and likely convinced others that this was going to end up the default model.

Which is the exact thing you are doing RIGHT NOW.

None of the things like her being awesome and kick ass preclude her from wanting to look good and sexually appealing.  Everyone seems to think that because Ash is tough she automatically doesn't care how she looks.  I find this ridiculous.  God forbid a woman can be all those things, which I personally think she is.  So I don't lose any respect or lower my opinion of her as a bad ass woman if she wants to wear her hair down, slap on some lip gloss and wear a v-neck.  That's just silly.  And given what we know of Ash's character, maybe she wouldn't wear something impractical.  You're forgetting that this suit and the possible technology for it may make it perfectly acceptable for a fight.

I don't think anyone is saying she shouldn't look good.  I'm certainly not saying that.  I am saying that Ash was a very practical, pragmatic woman (a trait many seemed to associate with her "racism")  Everything you said is fine.  Hair down (yes it looks good)  makeup and everything.  What concerns us (and by "us" I mean "me") is how she looks in a fight.  When it comes to fighting for your life, looking good is a purely secondary goal.  Then you button up, tie your hair back, wear the best protection available and use the biggest gun you can handle.

And heavier armors can look good.  Not to harp on a point, but Tela Vasir's armor was very attractive, and I keep hoping Ash's armor will end up looking like that.  What she has now is too...Star Trek-y I guess, for a bad**** marine.  Or a highly trained Spectre.

Now maybe that suit is better than the heavy armors of three years ago.  But that begs the question
1) Why doesn't Kaidan get it?
2) Why doesn't Shepard wear it too?
3) Where's the heavy version of that outfit?

You can talk for me also.    Your doing a much better job at saying what I'm thinking.

@Massadonious1: Well if we all stay quiet and don't panic about this teaser of Ash, then it's likely BW would assume everyone is fine with her catsuit-armor instead of decent soldier-armor.

Because people are complaining, it's clear there'll be an issue if BW kept her like that in combat.

Or you can at least try to ask for conformation from someone if this is the only outfit she will ever wear.

Nah, it's easier to do this instead.

Well, they won't get rid of the jumpsuit, that's for sure. To the people complaining that think they're just gonna scrap Ashley's new look and put her a tin can.... keep dreaming.
If Bioware is smart, they'll include heavier armor in Ashley's arsenal, that way everyone is happy. I'm fairly confident this is the case, since Casey Hudson said there will be more squad armor options than ME2.

Get a grip people.

I think that all this could be solved by having all the characters come with two possible combat appearances. One that's perhaps a bit more risque and one that's more practical.

That way if people want a no-nonsense Ash they can have her. Or if people want a Kaidan that's in more form fitting armor, they can have that too.

I'd vote for that.  I'm hoping they will offer DLC armor.  While it would be nice if we got two of them to start with, I'd pay for it.

Reading this, I couldn't help having this image popping into my head:

I'm sure there wold be someone out there who would buy it.  Probably allready someone planning on doing a boob mod.   <sigh>  That's rather depressing.

I'm expecting this is a possibility.

Anyway, I'm not in panic mode... just cautious right now. I mean, seeing the awful (regarding battle practicality - some of them at least look okay... I suppose, if nothing else) design of costumes in Mass Effect 2, I'm not going to be surprised to see a continuation of the trend.

Explain to me how she has 'breast enlargement'

look here

You do realize that her body in ME1 is universal right?
So do FemShep, Liara, & Ashley and every other female NPC have the same EXACT breast size? If anything, Shepard's & Liara's got bigger in ME2.
So, who knows what her actual breast size was.

From what I can tell from just looking at Femshep/Miranda and Liara they do not share the same body shape. Femshep has the same body as ME1, Miranda has stellar breasts (bigger), small waist and Liara has wider hips like Morinth. If you put Miranda's outfit, Liara's and Morinth's on Shepard you can see the difference.

Which is the exact thing you are doing RIGHT NOW.

So I should instead make the assumption that everything will be fine? Sorry, but Bioware isn't some sort of infallible Development God to me. I will question what they do, and how they do it. I'm not in the habit of giving anyone the benefit of the doubt.

Also I think we have plenty of information to indicate this will be Ashley's new look. We saw an early concept of her in Game Informer wearing the outfit. We've seen her in-game wearing the same outfit. Heck there's now even an avatar available of her in that outfit. How much do you think it's going to change? Also an even further indication they are doing things the same way again is the Collector's Edition is going to have an appearence pack. What do you think that means? To me it most likely means every squadmate character will be stuck in the same "armor" for the majority of ME3 and if you want new Armors you gotta buy the DLC! Maybe you'll have 3 color schemes to choose from this time though, wowzers! Ashley's armor can be recolored Blue, Red, or Purple! That's some real in-depth customization swapping the color palette! Isn't this exactly what everyone hated about ME1? That all the armor was the same just in a different color?

It's funny that you used the picture on the back of the ME1 cover for apparently noting the difference Shepard took on, cause it honestly barely changed at all. So why should I find it reassuring that character design changes so little if at all, if I don't like how Ashley looks?

This is Ashley's new look and I'm going to guess it's Bioware's intention that it be permanent as well.


Again I have no issue over Ashley's actual character yet, although at the same time I don't find her new look very reassuring. My issue is simply that it looks stupid. It's stupid since you need some kind of plating or thick material to stop bullets passing thru shields, the mesh will provide some proctection, but it is there for other purposes mostly (Medigel). Shepard wears plating, Garrus's entire suit is plated, Kaidan wears plating, James wears plating, even Liara has some plating. Ashley has none. Zip. Nadda. She must have some state of the art armor then. Odd that none of the rest crew is using it? I mean why isn't Shepard using Ashley's super-light super-protective armor? Paint it black give it an N7 logo and you're set.

In comparison to the rest of the crew Ashley seems woefully out of place.

My problem is Bioware is once again failing to give squadmates proper armor and once again are going for the "style over substance" approach.

Look if you think Ashley looks sexier now and don't really care what she's wearing, that's fine. But don't begrudge those of who think it's tacky because of that. Seems to me that the people arguing for it would rather it not change simply so Ashley can remain "hot". And I can understand that a little bit, but I have yet to see compelling evidence or reason why Ashley couldn't wear armor more akin to FemShep and not be "sexy".

Wow splendid explanation thank you.

Perhaps Ashley can wear the ME3 CE appearance pack DLC armor. It looks more like acctual armor. That would work, right?

Its the one on the bottom left, That James Vega is currently wearing in that picture.

She was shot on Eden Prime and her shields stopped the bullet before it even hit her the plate on her Phoenix Armor.

Were this game based off complete realism I might agree with you. Style over substance isn’t an evil when you’re talking about a fantasy sci-fi setting that allows for things like this. Were that the case you’d see everyone wearing realistic space suits with realistic primary life support units, temperature regulation, hazmat protection and communications and they would most likely be different from combat armor because a bullet hitting a pressurized suit would be pretty bad. Also, I am not sure about this, but I am guessing normal space suits hold only a small to moderate amount of oxygen.

If that is Ashley’s armor, I am quite sure it will be given upgrades to make it sturdy and protective. As I have said before, hard suits are great but not necessary for survival, especially if you’re tactical.

And those who dislike it shouldn’t begrudge the ones who do like it. Your reason for disliking it isn’t superior to the ones who do and vice versa. Seems to me some people think that if you prefer something more aesthetically pleasing, and are preferential to what they wish to see in a game they too will be spending hours upon hours to play--the same as anyone else---that it must be because they find it sexy and hot. I don’t care if my teammates are “hot“. I certainly don’t find Liara or Samara to be so. I don’t find Garrus to be so. I don’t find Mordin to be so. I didn’t find Wrex to be so and I didn’t find Jacob to be so. That doesn’t mean that I wouldn’t like to see them in something that is aesthetically pleasing as well as functional, and with upgrades it does that. And to speak for all that do and label them as “just wanting it for the hotness” is pretty small minded.

If this armor she now has can be upgraded, I will be fine with it. You want the same thing I want. Something that is preferential to you. I want her to have armor that protects her. So do you. Anything else is cosmetic only, whether it looks like hard armor, or it looks sleek and form-fitting, because if the stats would be the same, what else is there but what is pleasing to your eye and enjoyment.

Kinetic shields are only good for the first few shots, if you get drilled and all you're wearing is paper armor, you're dead. Like Jenkins and he was actually wearing armor.. Last I checked Ashley isn't a biotic either, she doesn't have kinectic + barrier which was the excuse used for the slight armor designs in ME2. (wasn't it?)

Anyway!

Of course, but that is true for anyone with any armor type. They should protect you long enough to take adequate cover. Even with heavy armor, you can only take so many shots before that doesn’t even help you. It would make sense to get into cover the first chance you get. People act like if you put on heavy armor, you’re suddenly immune to bullets. It will only buy you time, much like the shielding in any armor, even light.



Ashley didn’t have shields? How odd. What stopped the bullet from hitting her and why did I give her shield upgrades to her armor? And what did she mean when she’d say, “Shields are down!”
Anyway!

I said kinetic + barrier.  Everyone has kinetic shields, but not everyone can throw a biotic barrier to protect themselves. If you look at the people in your squad in ME2 with the lightest outfits, they are all biotic, I'm pretty sure.

She should be wearing nothing because she is a woman.

All armor types and weights have kinectic barrier generators, even light armors. She is wearing light armor, she’ll have a kinectic barrier generator to protect her until she gets into cover.

And when she's meleeing husks?  Getting spit at by rachni?  Getting gnawed on by a varren?

So only people who are in heavy armor would have those variant obstacles? What if people who wear light armor experience the same thing? Not even biotic barriers protect against melee attacks, so by that logic everyone should be wearing heavy armor. If you’re completely surrounded by husks or varren, and you’re a biotic, you have scant seconds to use defensive measures before you’re reached by the enemy. The same goes for someone in heavy armor. If they are surrounded by husks or varren, they have scant few seconds to mount a defense and get away. Heavy armor isn’t going to save you from getting over-powered by a mass of any thing, whether it be 20-25 husks, varren or rachni.

Actually, ME 1 did have those variant obstacles, but that's neither here nor there 

But the point being, there's a reason why a frontline Alliance marine would want armor plating, for those situations where shields just aren't enough.

You raise a good point here, Iakus. Perhaps too good a point.  In your typical fantasy setting, the reason why spellcasters wear light armor (or none at all) is because it 'limits hand gestures' making it difficult to work their spells. What exactly is the advantage of light armor in Mass Effect to a biotic like Kaidan where the typical spell-casting restrictions don't apply? It's almost like the developers simply gave Kaidan light armor because spellcasters usually wear light armor.

Edit: This isn't to say that there aren't advantages to lighter armor, as Asari Commandos demonstrate. It's simply that Shepard doesn't seem to have any companions in Mass Effect who really benefit from it.

Hehe  indeed they did have those obstacles and they did well! Everyone lived! Everyone was okay! Even though Rachni spit bypasses all shields, and could eat through plate in armor, Ashley did okay. So did Liara, and Tali and my Shepard. No one suffered because of their armor, light or heavy.

But the point being, there's a reason why a frontline Alliance marine would want armor plating, for those situations where shields just aren't enough.

And yes, a frontline Alliance Marine may want those things, and when Ashley was a frontline Alliance Marine she had it. She isn’t that anymore. Now that she isn’t facing those same odds, it might stand to reason she wants something more diplomatic looking, something more comfortable that offers the same protection. (With kinectic barriers and upgrades, of course)
