Doesn't she have a huge cleavage hole now? I'm a little more concerned about that.
There's been a noticable increase in the size of the Mass Effect ladies'... um...
...'upper frontal protuberances', since Mass Effect 2. At the risk of sounding unmanly, I'm not wild about it. I like that the girls in ME1 were a bit more thin and lithe and didn't have two silicone globules grafted to their ribcage. It looked more sleek, and it set Mass Effect apart from most video games, where 'bigger is better' seems to be the prevailing 'wisdom'.
Yeah I'm not wild about it either. At least two characters (one who used to be a soldier and one who used to be a scientist) are now "sex bombs" with useless holes in their armor. Awesome treatment of your female characters.
I don't know why everyone gets into such a huff over armor.
A) The kinetic barriers are obviously small devices that can be built into clothing - as seen in ME 1 on light armor. That armor is VERY thin.

Notice how usually in stories the more armor someone has, the LESS useful it is? Luke, Leia, Han, Chewie = No Armor. The hundred of Stormtroopers they've slaughtered = Armor.
