 So, given that ME4 will likely take place either in the semi distant future (ie: 100 or so years after 3) or in an alternate universe (please god no),  if it takes place in the future, I think we should be able to choose holographic type armors. Similar to the sentenel except that the holo isnt visible at all times. This makes it so we can use our clothes more often, ie: instead of wearing thick plate armor types, we wear a mobile force field. 

obviously we'd have the choice of wearing the plate armor as well, with the tactical decision being that plate armors are high defense even after your shields are depleted, where shield armor is much thicker, more robust shields, but your health drains in two hits because you dont have anything keeping you safe.

would make sense for those of us who are playing scientist/explorer type characters (which if I was right about my stranger in a strange land suggestion, we won't be soldiers or mercenaries, we'll be explorers who get cought up in the events surrounding us and need to fight our way out)

[DarthLaxian]

you might not want to hear it - but i want them to go the other way exactly:

no more tight body suit armor (at least not if you know you are headed into the thick of combat) and more armor plating (think of somthing like a very advanced version of Fallout Power Armor or somthing along the lines of star wars mandalorian armor...or stargate kul-warrior armor...meaning a powered exoskeleton with shields, its own VI (or even AI if you have say a Geth-Programm on board!) etc.)

Yes to more armor.

ME2 had Jack's "armor" be a leather harness, low riders, and tatoos. I don't want to go back to that.

[Reorte]

Yes to sensible, convincing armour, no to fighting in a skingtight catsuit and high heels.

[Steelcan]

It is not going to happen

[Fixers0]

I really wished they'd uitlized the unused armor model found in ME1 that could be accesed with console commands.

Women in armor that actually protects.

Seconded.

In ME every party member wore actual armor into battle. But later on people start to wear swimsuits... I guess it was to show their "assets"... Duh don't make ME cheap p0rn for teens, they know very well where to find real stuff.

I get that biotics got barriers, engineers got shields etc. but when fighting I would prefer to know that when my barrier is compromised I still got some protection, better than friggin jacket.

ME3 done it good with some cases: Vega got armor, Ash and Kaidan too, even Liara got option to wear real armor. Keep it that way.

This is the simplest and most elegant way to put it.

Now, on the debate of bulky armor vs minimalistic armor, I like the look of a thinner, more mobile looking armor rather than bulky Halo armor, Gears of War style bodies, or anything that looks like it came from the middle ages.

The easy solution to this debate is to give the fans both, though, and let them pick which one they wear.

[Ledgend1221]

Pfft, who wants little pansy girl armour?
Give use Real mans armour, like the Destroyers.

[Kataphrut94]

I'd prefer if they go back to Mass Effect 1 style jumpsuit armour. Later games weren't bad, but it feels like they started getting a bit over-designed. I don't want N7 Destroyer, Kai Leng and Cerberus Centurion to become the standards.

If they have to be plate armour, the N7 armour or the Inferno armour should be the template.

[Sparbiter]

Personally I like the N7 Paladin armor. I agree that "heavy" armor should be the look of the N7 Destroyer, and light armor should take the look of the N7 shadow, and go from there.

[f1r3storm]

Just give us a good range of light, medium and heavy armors. As long as they're not Cerberus.

[P. Domi]

I liked the evolution of the N7 armor in the 3 games, as well as the variations (heavier or lighter) for the N7 destroyer, N7 sentinel, N7 demolitionist... The catsuits in ME 2 were particularly silly at times. The casual clothing you wear in the ship while off duty shouldn't be the main protection you wear into combat, if you want to keep some continuity with the stuff you showed in ME 1. I'm glad many characters got this fixed in ME 3 with more variety and choices.

[Xerxes52]

I disagree. I would prefer seeing more "functional" armor sets in the next ME.

The N7 Demolisher (and it's original model, the Cerberus Engineer) is what I'm thinking:

[rapscallioness]

^ I like that armor. Very much.

[Zekka]

I would also like them to return to Mass Effect 1 style armor, some of them actually had good designs and helmets. But if they aren't going back to that, they should keep mass effect 3 style armor because they had good designs.

[MrFob]

Yes to functional armor, no to unarmored combat, especially for squad mates, at least give us one appearance which is armored (or give us more customization over all). And here is a hint: In a vacuum it's not enough to put a breather mask over your mouth and nose, you need a full helmet. Yes, ME has shields and barriers which can protect people in combat and hostile environments without armor but there is no reason, no reason whatsoever not to put that extra layer of protection on anyway, just to be safe.

Also, no to the Fallout power armor style, mentioned above. We see these overdone armors often enough in SciFi (especially video games). Fallout, StarCraft, Halo, Warhammer 40k and a bazillion others. ME had a very good armor design so far IMO (apart from the catsuit & breather mask syndrome, mentioned above), I hope they manage to improve upon and add to it without sacrificing it's core.

I can see his face... And he still has a human shape:
Not enough for me.

[BaneForever]

 I would like some armor that resembles Batman's suit and also heavy armor for more dangerous situations.

[ShepnTali]

I'm fine with what they've been doing for the most part. I'd just like the ME1 variation designs back.

[Display Name Owner]

I quite like lighter armour sets like that N7 demolisher one posted up there ^, as well as the bulkier stuff. That's the kind of range I think it should stay between, no catsuits and beltstraps on the battlefield. I guess it could depend on what type of mission it is, though. If you're not expecting combat (even though there is invariably combat), a character could get away with wearing something like Jacob's outfit.

[Ravensword]

Should we expect characters to wear belt bras, low-cut blouses, spandex catsuits, and masks inside a vacuum?
