Remember the armor laying on the table aboard the Normandy before Shep leaves for Mars?
I was immediately struck with how strange (silly) FemShep's chestplate looked. And this was only reinforced when she wore it:

The differing textures makes part of the armor look lighter and other parts look darker - for a FemShep, the bra area in the upper body armor is darker. To me, it looks like Shep is wearing a bra over her armor!
It would have been much better, IMO, if it appeared as one texture like this:

While, IMHO, the form-fitting female armors have improved much since ME1's "sagging boob" variety, the form-fitting armor chestplates in Mass Effect are not my first choice.
I wonder if there are others like me who prefer the
non-form-fitting chestplates? They are more to my liking because they seem more professional to me: the Hahne-Kedar, Ariake Tech and Rosenkov Materials armor sets in ME3. IMO, my FemShep looks like a geniune (tough, uncompromising) soldier in these, not so much in the others.
Thank goodness there is
more than one non-form-fitting chestplate for my FemShep to choose from in ME3 (thank you, Bioware). In ME2, there was just one, the ONLY one my FemShep ever wore. The Kestrel (known as Rosenkov in ME3).
