I actually want to ask about this one. What do people think of the "tank top" or "bra" look the paint pattern makes?

Honestly, I didn't like it. I don't know what with Male Shep it's not like that at all, but I prefer in for Maleshep, but not Femshep.

I really mean the quality of the pic is whats bad. I believe it's a good shot too, or I should hope so seeing as I spent half an hour replaying the same dialogue option over and over to snap the perfect pic. lol

That is a good shot. My Shepard never comes out as well in that particular spot.

I don't have smirks readily available, but I do have a mirror image of the expression I make when I think about EA marketing

I use it to break up the monotony that is STANDARDBLUEARMOR.jpg
Seriously, though, I never saw it as that prior to you mentioning that.  I just like how it's all blue and white and Alliance-y.

It only looks like that on the molded boob-cups. On the kestrel, it looks like it does for maleshep.

But personally, I find it very Captain America looking. It makes me think comic-book superhero. So if you're going for a wonder woman vibe, I think it totally works. myself, I don't feel like either of my sheps would appreciate the boldness of that. i have nora wear that, but in kestrel, so it's just flashy, and kyrie wears the crappiest looking armor around.

Never noticed that it looked like a tank top until you said something.  I tend to have my femsheps wear the Kestrel armor w/ two exceptions. My engineer wears the capacitor chestplate and my canon wears the N7 chestplate. I like the Kestrel a lot in that it's not "boob armor," but for some reason I can't put UJ (my canon) in anything but the N7 chestplate. 

[Hekate]

Speaking of the molded boob-cups, I've never understood what some people have against them. I mean they make sense in a way, I mean, what better way to do the armor? It's for form fitting, make it flat like Male Sheps, and either it's to flat down on her and she can't breathe, or it's to rounded and there's to much empty space.

[Lucky Thirteen]

People view the armor cups as sexualization. Breasts=sex symbol and shame. Not viewed as just a body part.

Thus why I think people would be bothered by that certain pattern over the breasts. If you ask me it does enhance size and draw the eyes to the chest with the right colors, such as white contrasted with a dark color like black or blue.

In my opinion Boob-Armor is great so long as its not over done. In ME1 and ME2 its great, because it definitely is "woman's armor". Hopefully ME3 stays within the realm of realism. 

Boob armor doesn't remind me of bikinis and tight shirts like some people on BSN. It reminds me of a Celtic or Greek female warrior. Strong, possessing femininity and a deadly precision. 

That said, I've recently become very fond of the kestrel armor, though admittedly for similar reasons. I really like the strength of the masculine breast plate, yet the tightness of the core and waist. 

In my opinion tight armor is the best. More mobility, better motion cap, fewer clipping issues, etc etc. 

[mellifera]

While I am not really a huge fan of the boob cups, I'm much less a fan of the pasted-on pecs in the Kestrel armor. if it were up to me, FemShep's armor designs would look much more like this in the chest area-

Yay! Finally got Mr. Silverman to say something.

If I'm not mistaken, it's actually a structural weakness in the armor.

Because you have a concave point right at your breastbone, it's weaker than a convex structure (like lady hawke's). If you took a major blow to the chest (like a warhammer or a rocket) it could buckle inward and crush your sternum.

I'm basing that off of blogs I've read like this one. It comes down to a solid, outwardly bent piece of metal/heavy plastic/whatever will take any pressure outward, but boob armor creates an unnecessary seam that could fold in on itself.

Also, unless you are massively endowed in the chest area, there's not really a need to slip your boobs into separate molded-plastic sockets. just sayin'

However, it's such a total fantasy convention that when it's not there, people often find it looks odd and unfeminine. I am not a huge fan of molded boob cups, but at least femshep's armor looks like it's heavy-duty enough not to break on her too readily. boobage on the jumpsuits made sense, the kestrel makes sense, the N7 chestpiece less so, but again, hey, it's fantasy.

so long as she's covered in something bulletproof, i'm good.

still sad they wouldn't let us take off the helmet on most of the dlc armor...

I find most of the time that I do not notice if they are there or not. About the only time it even comes to mind is when I am actually choosing the armor. And let's face it, I care more about each of the pieces stats more than how it looks. Okay that is a lie, there is something about the N7 chest piece the Shepard starts off with that just doesn't do anything for me looks wise. But other than that, I care more about stats.

I've always found that blog funny when people pull it out in this arguement. Right after the blogger points out how boob armor can have a structural weakness, they say Mass Effect did a good job with the female armor.

The way the cheastpiece is designed is well spread and is not resting directly on the sternum. It isn't as drastic as the example the blogger posted previously.

As you say and what I think the blogger was pointing out, it is heavy duty and well protecting gear.

The blogger also shows an example of Hilde from Soul Calibur who also has a simliar chest piece as femShep, and says that it is a good example.



This blogger clearly has exceptions to the rule about the shapes of breasts in armor.

The cup armor even with the seam between the beasts is fine. The slope would actually deflects projectiles away from the chest and sternum. You know the important areas. It is cool that article uses Mass Effects armor as a good example.

yeah, that's true. heh.

i guess there are ways of arguing that femshep's armor doesn't have that weakness. but on the whole, i feel that boob armor is mostly there for looks. there's not really a whole lot of point in having spots for your boobs to go in when dodging bullets. 

buuut....maybe that's just my thinking. i don't do a lot of bullet dodging, and femshep does, so... ./shrug
