i guess what i'm trying to ask is will we be able to choose between light,medium,and large armors in ME3 the one thing that bothered me in ME2 was that my adept could not wear light armor.

[Splinter Cell 108]

I don't think so, maybe they'll put armor pieces that will look lighter than others but I really doubt that they'll let us choose between heavy, medium and light. I think BioWare said that it would use ME2's system with a few changes.

[Neverwinter_Knight77]

I really wish that I could wear heavy armor.

[Googlesaurus]

I wouldn't mind bringing back armor customization that actually meant something, but the ME1 system had too many different variations. More unique armor sets on a non-linear scale would be the way to go.

[shnizzler93]

To be honest, I'd rather them just put in several different unique sets of armor, with collapsible helmets of course, that each have unique but balanced properties, such as...

Some ideas would include Blood Dragon Armor, Isaac Clark Armor, etc

[Tessir Kaerak]

I think that as far as squadmates are concerned, armor although not swappable by light, medium, heavy will reflect that particular person's traits. I.e., Liara wouldn't wear heavy etc.
Shep will be more outside of context of your own build. Kind of a drag but Shep will also have way more options so not too shabby. I did think Shep's armor in ME2 veered a lil towards heavy tho...

I liked picking up all the different guns,armor and upgrades. The final armor in ME1 looks great and selling all the junk made my Shepard rich. It was a bit of a hassle but of a hassle sometimes.

I think we should have an option of two suits at the start of the game. Light as in ME1 style armor and the second being ME2 style armor.

[RevanCousland]

well the armor shepard wears in the prologue of ME2 is Heavy in ME1 but the armor he/she uses for the actual game is what is medium in ME1.

[Lunatic LK47]

Between the randomized armor and class differences, I found buying replacements to be a pain in the ass (in my case, I only bought Medium Armor just because of the "coolness and balanced" factor). As it was, I'd have to spend HOURS doing the save/reload exploit just to get that spiffy Medium Onyx X armor from C-Sec/Normandy Requisitions Guy.

Glad the devs went with the ME2 approach.

[RevanCousland]

im not asking to go back to the many variations of ME1 just to be able to actually have light medium or heavy with the same ME2 system.

I'm glad you said it, because I hate having to constantly remind people on these forums that the armor in ME2 was medium, not heavy.

Even with that system, the only time I'd have to agree to it is if the shop's inventory wasn't randomized a la ME1.

Isn't this just a way to penalize adepts?

[Aimi]

I hated the way Light Armor and Medium Armor looked for female chars in ME1, so I'm predisposed to disliking the idea of class-specific armors.

Ideally, no.  The one benefit of ME2's armor system is that it evened the playing field for classes that are usually restricted to lighter armors.  Having to wear light armor in ME1 made my adept die a lot.  If they took away the class-based armor restrictions but let us choose how heavy we want to make the armor, it'd be great.

I don't really see how this is different from ME2's system; you just pick pieces that are 'light' instead of ones that are 'heavy' in terms of aesthetics (which usually match up well with the effects of the armor, although those are statistically irrelevant anyway).

In agreement. I even avoided the caster-related classes just because I found the light armor to be nothing more than overglorified space scuba-suits.

[Clonedzero]

no, armor types in ME1 made no sense lorewise.
it was pretty arbitrary and pointless really.

[TexasToast712]

I hope not. I liked being able to wear any armor I wanted on my Vanguard instead of being restricted to light/medium in ME1.

[greed89]

The Light Armor all looked Terrible in ME1 i do not want to see that crap again

[raziel1980]

I would just like to be able to put my shepard in some different armor than just the good ole n7 armor with different colors n armor options...I would love the wear something like the Terminus armor set WITHOUT the helmet being mandatory... I also agree they should just do away with the light armors from ME 1...as they would mean almost death for a adept....medium n heavy class armors should work just fine for shepard under any and all classes...

[Dracotamer]

I hope so, for both yourself and companions.

[AdmiralCheez]

What I'm hoping for is that there is enough variety in all the customizable bits for us to make a "light" or "heavy" suit of armor ourselves.

Or make our Sheps look like complete morons.

I'm all for more armor varieties but you have a point.  I'd rather my adept not be limited to wearing leopard print spandex.  I didn't mind the ME2 system conceptually, it just had far too little actual choice imo.  It felt half finished or implemented, almost as if they just decided to throw a system together a month before release or something.

[SennenScale]

I want the choice to wear lighter armor, most definitely.
