that's actually a pretty good shot.

I agree. Pretty soon I'm going to break down and take some shots of my femsheps with my iphone (xbox 360) and post them.

I guarantee you they'll be a hot mess compared to that shot. But I won't be able to stop myself.  

[Lenimph]

That trailer news makes me so happy.

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.

I know all the liberals want me to hate boob armor, or probably boobs in general, but I just can't.

Dunno what politics has to do with it. I just find it interesting that boob armor has no practical value according to people who study/make armor. But it looks badass when done right, so, whatever.
You'll note I use medium armor partly because it's a tough-looking catsuit without heels. I like that.
But hey, so long as femshep is armed and ready for battle, I'm good.
Carry on.

@FieryPhoenix7 #FemShep trailer won't release after the demo

So tomorrow or thursday.

I liked the gorilla walk/limp both Shepards have in ME2. I ascribe it to cybernetics and Shep hurting at times from the implants and/or prosthetics. What I didn't like, and most agree on that, was the clipping during cutscenes for femShep (and I think it jarred me even more as I play both manShep and femShep).
***

I have tried to RP that same thing so I can tolerate that horribly unladylike walk. Of course that goes out the window when her Rooster Cogburn zombie lurch evaborates in all the cut scenes.

Boob armour fits in fine with the bright colours, optional helmets and stuff like that. It's not totally realistic/practical, but it's not over the top silly either.

[Captain Crash]

As a male,  I cant refute that curves in the right places are always awesome  :innocent:

Mass Effect armour has always been kind in this regard.  ME1 especially.  Still its never really overly sexualised her which is great.  It still has remained practicle even if it isnt strictly necesary.  Its been more about aesthetics over anything else. The ME3 armours also continue this trend from what we have seen so far.   

Anyway im not sure what point I am making.   I guess the fact that she kicks ass in armour that flatters her but still is practicle.

[Silver]

At least femShep still looks like she is indeed a Human, only in Armor.
When I think about Gears of War (any of the three) then I can only think "Oh, look, somebody strapped tanks to these guys & gals".
It looks very comic-y.

Boob armour I'm generally fine with, on the condition that there isn't a gaping big whole in the chest. I'm looking at you, Samara. Anyway.

Femshep trailer? Really? It's finally coming? Squeeeeeeeeeeeeeee- *head explodes*

Barely justified screenshot use is justified.

That would actually be Conservatives but I digress

Boob cups DO have practical value as explained by Ais. the shape helps redirect force away from the vital spots in the chest area. That's the whole point of having them on the armor.

@everyone--I LOVED the smirk comparisons. FemShep's smirk is one of my favorite things about her!

@Verly--I love Penny! I'm fond of your dwarf av, too... I think we have similar tastes in facial features, but I also think your Shepards are really unique.

@Hyper_gateway--Those blue mods are gorgeous! Very sharp. 

@JECWSU--Vivian's stunning and cool. 

@Aislinn--Heheh, I'm the same way--I too have exactly 12 Shepards in ME2 at the present time! I haven't played through them all yet, only 5 are truly finished, but I just love playing with the CC. ME2 was SUCH a headache before Gibbed, though; ugh... all those restarts just to change the cheek width a tiny bit and see if that looks better in the first mission, only to decide upon seeing Miranda that something else needed fixing! It was enough to drive a person crazy! 

@Captain Crash--"Losing My Heart" is really excellent Shepard/Kaidan artwork. Thanks for sharing.

I am always fascinated how much the hair changes the look of a character.

You know, me too... it really is amazing. In real life, not just in the game. One small change to the hair can do so much for a face.

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 might be in the minority here, but I actually liked that. For Eo, I always pictured her as having a bit more boob than the average FemShep--part of why she likes the sniper rifle; you hold the scope up to your eyes, unlike a shotgun or assault rifle where your boobs could get in the way a bit. Ryla on the other hand I saw as fairly flat-chested and skinnier than average, wiry; perfect for holding her shotguns and assault rifles at the optimal height, no problem firing from the hip, so the different paint patterns and armor shapes let me emphasize the bust for one and downplay it for the other. I liked that as an aid to roleplay. 
Did anyone else think about that before? The gun/boob equation and how it could affect FemShep's choice of class? Or am I just kinda overthinking it? 

Well in any case, I like Mass Effect's boob armor because the chest is at least covered up and it's positioned at a realistic height--there's no stupid pushed-up cleavage begging, "SHOOT/STAB ME HERE!" Plus it's a space-age material. If this were a medieval universe, the metal should be in the optimal shape; here, it doesn't necessarily help as much as you'd expect, so I don't mind if the armor is shaped to fit its occupant. At least the top piece looks thicker than the bottom piece. 

I guess my perspective is, "it's at least 75% closer to functional than in 99.9% of games--I'll take it!"

A further treatise on the weakness and impracticality of "boob armor"... http://l-clausewitz....com/384382.html

Just for my two cents.

"So all but the largest breasts can be bound quite flat against the woman's chest[/b] without occasioning too much discomfort."  Is that really true for most women? Because for me, that hurts! Admittedly, I have my grandmother's figure, so I can't say that I don't fit the category they're talking about. But I can't imagine FemShep's chest not hurting from being bound for hours at a time while she's running, slamming into things... I would think that would hurt like hell, actually! Although, there should really be some padding on the other side to prevent bruising, surely... maybe it wouldn't hurt if they were bound as long as there's a thick enough cushion in between armor and boob. 

*starts imagining armor crash and impact tests, complete with bruises, chafing...* You know, this is actually pretty fascinating to think about. Working for Kassa Fabrication or something like that could be a little bit like living an episode of Mythbusters! I wonder how they do research. It would be cool if FemShep could help test some kind of experimental mod, armor, and/or weapon in ME3. I would think the endorsement of the savior of the galaxy would be brilliant during wartime. 

You know, come to think of it, you really shouldn't have to buy anything in ME3! Companies should vie for Shepard's attention and donate their stuff in the hopes that she'd use it. "I'm Commander Shepard, and this is my favorite boomstick in the galaxy!"

I thought this too; I'm pretty sure at the end of Arrival Hackett says something about dress blues, and for a few seconds I had fantasies about my War Hero Shepard looking all awesome with her Star of Terra pinned on. 

*wistful smile* Me, too... that would've been frickin' awesome. Maybe the trailer FemShep isn't a War Hero? *grasps at straws* Well, at least there's mods... maybe we'll be able to Gibb up some sweet dress blues complete with medals after a while.

I always sacrifice Kaiden. Ash is interesting. Kaiden's just boring too me. I tryed to get to know him, I really did, but I just couldn't.

Maybe you feel different about him, I'm just saying what I do.

Same here, he just came across as such a weak character (to me) in the first one and as he had a small accident on Virmire in all my playthroughs I have no idea what he's like in ME2. I could relate better with Ashley so I kept her around.

I had two versions of my first playthrough; one with Ash, one with Kaidan, the latter mostly for the sake of getting laid. Personality-wise, I liked Ash better than Kaidan or Liara, to begin with. Both grew on me over time.

With Kaidan, I was partly prejudiced by his voice (CARTH! What are you doing in Mass Effect?! PARADOX! Heh, Raphael Sbarge just has such a distinctive voice...); it was hard for me to separate who Kaidan was from who Carth was. He was just so mild and unassuming in comparison to Carth, whereas Ash was fun and said cool things like, "A million light years from where humanity began, and we walk into a bar full of half-naked women shaking their asses on a stage. I can't decide if that's funny or sad." She was like an awesome sister. I still hate Virmiring her SO much. 

I do find Ash more relatable, still. But Kaidan grew on me. He's so much more fun when you're Renegade. "I don't believe I've had the pleasure of you serving under me..." "Well, I walked right into that one, didn't I?" He's still no ungrateful monkey-lizard, but he is a character, and one worth saving. 

I think everyone should have at least one playthrough with their non-typical VS. I hear the content for the VS in ME3 is pretty extensive, and that Kaidan gets a fair bit of character development--enough that even those who didn't like him before are in some cases completely converted. I'm looking forward to it. He's already grown on me to the point where I'd say I like him, and ME3 could end up making me love him. I'm stoked to find out.

Binding them flat? Yeah.. no. I'd rather keep my breathing unobstructed when running around in heavy armor tyvm.
And that's aside from bumping into stuff. Honestly, this is the kind of stuff guys would 'logicly conclude' while women would chime "FECK NO" in responce.

I'd prefer something like in SW:TOR. It's a bit more form fitting and feminine compared to male version.


I personally have no effin' clue what women would prefer to wear.

It's the thing that ruins Gears of war for me. I mean, I played all three but part of the reason I don't replay them much is what you alluded to. I have to RP that gears have to take large amounts of HGH to be able to go hand to hand with those creatures (the name escapes me for the moment. I keep wanting to say "Darkspawn" which isn't right. LOL).

Not all. I do seem to recall Shepard limping/lurching to go break up the Miranda/Jack "take pictures" fight. I suppose that was immersive enough to trick me into not seeing the times Shepard got miraculously better (can I have a hallelujah?) in other cutscenes involving walking.

I always imagined that future bra/chest support technology would be so awesome that making "boob armor" is the norm for women.

Yeah that's a bit thin............what the hell, thin's my middle name (Lethal Weapon).

I'll take it.   


Hopefully they fix that sh** for Mass Effect 3. Maybe Shep took some time out to get some corrective surgery after defeating the collectors.

That's why I always spend the 50K platinum. Not to fix the renegade scars, but the stuff-ups Wilson made.

On the other hand, if you extrapolate Shepard's walk, combine that with the fact that they're Reaper tech implants, soon you're getting into husk territory.
