Helmets make humans look like the lamest race?

Ideally we should be able to customize our face like in the campaign, but 3 or 4 preset faces for male/female would be much better than bland helmets... the human adept looks like a Power Ranger mixed with a gimp. I think many of the more causal players will stray away from humans because all the aliens look way cooler. It's not a big deal, but it does feel a bit lazy/lame on their part.

It's Mass Effect--they'd look like power rangers even if they didn't have helmets.

Yeah, not being able to customize your face is lame, but good lord, imagine the bandwidth.

Aliens are cooler tbf. Apart from engineer I don't think I prefer any of the human variants of the classes as yet (ok, maybe vanguard but I don't play vanguard).

Whatevs, I love the adept and the recon hood. Custom lights make all the difference..

And part of the reason they kept humans with helmets is to increase anonymity of the soldiers and make sure no one went around making their Shepards. Would break immersion for some.

Uh... how would faces affect the bandwidth? Suits without the helmets remind me more of Alien/Aliens/Prometheus than Power Rangers.

It would be nice if they added in helmet options for humans where the alien races all get skin colour unlocked for customization.

I do think my Vanguard looks awesome with her black/purple armor, though.

The helmets are great. I wish the other races had helmets too.

You know faces are just a relatively small string of characters, right? It's not like a custom face would download an entirely unique mesh from the server or a peer. It would just grab the face code.

As an option that's fine, but it being mandatory is lame… especially since the other races have faces.

The bandwith? A face code is what 36 characters long?

I don't mind helmets, I'd just like to customize my armor more. My Engineer would look sick with a Recon Hood.

I hope that's part of the full game.

I think it's too keep it generic so you don't get to attached like you do with Shepard. You do have to play the campaign ya know.

To be honest I would have rathered the aliens have helmets on too. Why they didn't just add some sort of toggle is beyond me.

They should've included the option to switch between helmet styles, I for one dislike with animosity the human soldier/vanguard helmet, but love the engineer one. A little more customization could've gone a long way.

Doubtful it was a bandwidth issue as a custom face can be transmitted as a very short code. Perhaps there were other technical or game design considerations.

The only helmet I mind is the female infiltrator it's too big for her body.

Considering face codes are something like 30 characters, I don't think bandwidth would be an issue.

Sorry, but that makes no sense at all lol. I don't think any of the designers thought "Yeah, no human faces in multiplayer because some people might like their character more than Shepard" lol.

Yeah, but they could just use the facecodes. I don't know if it would be that bad.

I'd certainly like it if we could customize multiplayer faces. Give my multiplayer characters some more uniqueness. I'd also like it if the aliens would get helmets as well.

This, especially since Turian Helmets are pretty damn awesome it's a shame there isn't even the option to equip it. :(

If anything, it makes the classes more identifiable with just a glance.

My Human Adept is called Blue Ranger , don't mind how they look at all but a character creator would be cool.

I just wish Krogan could have the armor seen the wiki below. With Helmet of course.
