Anyone know if we can toggle whether the helmet is viewed or not? Fashion dictatates that one doesn't wear one, but you clearly get benefits for wearing one.

Can we have the best of both worlds?

I was hoping for something too, it shows cut scenes you wear the helmet, but if I know I am gonna have a cut scene, or guess i am gonna have one, I don't wanna run around with a helmet, in fact I would odds are keep it off until the fighting starts at all times.

I dont think you can toggle them, but you can change it at the weapons locker.. I think anyway..

I just hope that if you choose to wear a helmet, they dont take it off during conversations. If I choose to wear a helmet, I dont want it removed thanks.

There is an armor customization tool like we've never seen before, you can do MUCH more than merely toggle your helmet.

Quite. My question was, because of this new system, you get bonii for wearing a helmet. I was wondering if I could officially be wearin a helmet, but toggle its appearance off, so I don't have to see it. For example, the recon mask looks terrible, doubly so because it hides the great face expressions.

I think you can - in an old thread about the Inferno Armor, one of the devs said he was using that armor and had the helmet toggled off. That was a while ago, though, so it could have changed I suppose.

I don't think we know yet. Personally i agree with Verenti. I'd like to get the bonuses from helmets, but if they are full-face, i wouldn't want to miss out on the facial expressions in cutscenes.



I'd like to have the option to have helmets auto-off during cut-scenes.

Yeah, I want people to see me in Mass Effect, but no loos it either, in Dragon Age I didn't care too much if they had kept the helmet it on, it didn't have any expression on the PC face anyway, here though they do put the expressions in.

I'm sure it will be simillar to ME1 where there is a toggle in the equipment menu for helmet on/off ... would seem pointless to remove this option.

[Lonely_Fat_Guy]

its probebly done like ME1



you can toggle it off cause it looks better



but in ME2 youll probeblycan toggle it off and getthe bonus

[Schwadragon]

Even if there's not a toggle, there are also headsets that show your face and hair but still give you bonuses.

We can't yet confirm we can toggle helmet visuals off, but we do know for certain that if you have a helmet up, it will stay on you on every cutscene and conversation.

[kregano]

I wonder what'll happen if you go into a hostile environment or the Flotilla without a helmet as part of your regular armor. Will the game prompt you to pick one or will it just use a default helmet?

[verskk]

To clarify: I would like to wear a helmet but have the option to have it not show up in cutscenes, a la DA:O.



I wouldn't want it to be permanent like in DA, though. I'd just like to have the option.

this brings more evidence to the toggle theory. we can pretty much assume that you start off with the n7 breather helm (its in the first damn cutscene, and you have to have some defeault sealed helm for harsh enviroments) and at some point shep will have to seal up his suit... but weve seen plenty of pics with shep wearing no helmet at all. im almost certain helms will be toggleable, because a) i highly doubt yuo can leave armor sections unequipped, and at some point we do have to pick up a helmet, and plenty of gameplay, like CES footage where its not some developer demo, show shep with no headgear to speak of; either they changed the armor system just to showoff vanderloo's chisled features for demos, or you can toggle helmets.

Helmet Toggle, Now that its release day and a lot of people actually played the game, Can we do it?

[Galantine]

 I don't know what bioware was thinking here...???? because I really want to use those special armors, but there's no option to use them without a helmet. And with the helmet on you will miss a big part of the magic in mass effect... you will miss all the "facials"...

Yes, there is an option to remove your helmet.

[Yorick of the Damned]

Haven't there been like 8 billion topics like this in the last 17 days? You really needed to bump this one to remind everyone of it?

I found it disapointing that in ME1 you had the option to remove it in gameplay at any point accept in space. Yet that option is lost in ME2 and you're only able to do so no where else, but in your living quarters.

[DarkAp0stle]

This whole idea of the DLC armours being a 'work of art' I find hard to believe

Yes they are appealing to the eye..

But is drinking and kissing through a helmet a work of art?

No it simply is not...You can't tell me that masking facial expressions through an inability to toggle helmets is a work of art.

I believe it is lazy programming, not art.

So I must finish this off by saying I believe it's a smudge on a work of art known as Mass Effect.





P.S this is not intended to flame, just merely stating opinion.

[Azurken]

I'm new here and I was about to make a topic titled "The Helmet Dillema" but I'll just bump this...



My opinion is that it degrades the cinematic experience when there are actions involving the face and you are wearing a helmet.. Like drinking a glass of alcohol or kissing.. its just strange and at times funny. Its not a huge complaint but I was hoping for something similar to a helmet toggle option when you are talking/interacting with the npcs. Another option could just be to toggle it off completely while at the same time, reaping the helmet benefits..



My last suggestion is may be a little more time consuming to program into the game, it involves having helmet animations such as your helmet mouth opening up with doing mouth interactions, or make it like ME1 where you can have the helmet throughout the game but bottomless.



This is my first post, and I hope more people want this option..

[Corehaven22]

Is there a way to toggle it off while you play? Excluding a uniform locker?
Is it in the menus somewhere?

I dont mind it for cut scenes. In the first game I wore it in a combat situation and outside of combat I toggled it off.
Is that available in this game?
