So the only possible explanation for Kaiden's armor change is that Heavy armor is superior in all situations? It's not possible that some other factor has played into Kaiden using different armor? I mean if Ashley can decide to use lighter armor to take advantage of her physical superiority then it's not at all possible that kaiden picked heavier armor because it works well with his biotics? With heavy armor and biotics Kaiden might be able to turn himself into a bipedal tank. Ashley dosen't have Biotics, she can't afford to be slow cause, or just stand their and take hit after hit. She has to be able to move, to shift from cover to cover, to get in fast, and be able to strike hard when up close. If any enemy get's close to kaiden he can use Biotics to send them flying.
Ashley has to float like a butterfly, and sting like a bee.
I'm not sure I understand this part.
Are you saying that wearing light armor can help dodge and outrun bullets?
You don't have to dodge a bullet, just get by the person holding the gun. That's why Starship troopers point out that putting a knife in someones hand prevents them from pressing the button or pulling the trigger. It's why Marines still train in hand to hand combat. If I'm in close enough to grab you, then I can take away the advantage of your gun. If I have a higher degree of mobility than you, then I have options you don't. Ashley knows this, and might have changed how she fights in the time since you've known her. In fact even Shepard is able to do a lot more damage up close in ME 3.
That statement people like to use to prove that Ash is married to heavy armor (something about Asari Commandos) occured two years ago. That's two years of training and combat to see how different people/races fight. In that time she might have discovered an advantage to lighter armor that compliments how she fights.
Apparently, people who are exposed to enemy fire the most are the ones who must wear lighter armor. Because if you wear light armor, you become a superhero who can dodge bullets.
Those in support roles who fight at the rearguard and can cast biotic barriers upon themselves on the other hand should wear heavy armor because the bullets they won't receive anyway would be even less likely to do damage.
Kaiden's a Sentinel, he has the Shields/Tech Armor to walk through a hail of gun fire. He's not at the back of a fight any more. Not according to ME 2.
Ashley dosen't need to dodge bullets, Asari Commandos are deadly, feared for good reason.
The fact is this, Bio dosent respect well established rules set in ME1, ergo it is in our hands that the basic rules are followed.
and KaidanWilliamsShepard, you are correct.
By that thinking, the Emperor shouldn't be allowed to toss around force lightening in Episode six, because we haven't seen it in Episodes 3 & 4. All we knew of the galaxy came from humanity who were new to the scene in ME 1, and Shepard's own expierences. So those 'rules' were always subject to change. As humanity, Shepard and we learn more old things we thought were concrete change. We all thought that th Geth were evil, end of story. Wow, we were wrong about that.
