It's the same. Pause as soon as the video plays (it starts at the 54th second).

Except there is a hell of a lot more screen real estate available in the male version :D I suspect they designed the cut scene with manshep and this is an unfortunate side effect.

Almost nobody (if Not all, but I don't remember every post) is saying every character should wear a heavy plate armour. A lot of people mentioned that They want light and medium armour, and they Mentioned examples (as Thane's dlc outfit).
I get your point (though again, internal consistency isn't the same as realism or practicality), but I don't get Why people have the impression that the crowd arguing about armour in combat wants only heavy armour. You might disagree with having everyone in a kind of armour, Even light, but this isn't about heavy armour At all.

 

Eh. That particular picture set me off because it showed showed two completely different types of combatants, a front line heavy infantry and a wilderness scout, and made one out to be a joke despite the fact that they serve two completely different functions on the field, and - ignoring the fact that it's two completely different genres - Sisters of Battle and Space Marine armor are every bit as impractical as what the night elf is wearing, just in the other direction. If not for "sufficiently advanced technology" ignoring the laws of physics, they wouldn't be able to move in that armor.

 

So I found that particular example to be absurd and ignorant, though I do still find it on point to the discussion as regards to Thane, being that he is a stealth expert and assassin, so is going to wear an outfit that doesn't signify him as a threat and doesn't slow him down or make any noise.

That's why I prefer his dlc outfit, it's his stealth suit with armor plating on it

That's because maleshep is significantly bigger than femshep.

Understood And I agree.
In regards of Thane I have the same opinion of Ares:

The outfit doesn't seem to cause much noise or slowing him down.

Though honestly after thinking about it I'm not sure how much protection those thin plates could plausibly provide; it may be metal, but it's still skin tight and razor thin. If you aren't willing to accept his suit could be made of something high tech enough to resist fire, I'm not sure I buy those plates as being able to do it just because they're metallic. 

 

And it also falls into the other problem; it's obvious. Thane's suit has the advantage of looking like civilian gear which helps in sneaking up on someone and blending in a crowd. You see someone with armor plating, you know they're expecting to get shot at.

 

I'd also imagine it would limit his flexibility some.

Why would it limit his flexibility when the purpose of light armor is so people can remain agile?

I'm thinking specifically in the sense of bending forward along the abdomen. The way those plates are aligned I think they'd cut into that a bit. Might not seem like much in a fire fight, but Thane's demonstrated that a good bit of his standard procedure is moving through tight air vents where he'd need all the mobility he could get.

It's Not just about resisting fire: I don't see his normal suit able of generate kinetic barriers, Which Are the main defense against bullets. Another bonus of the dlc (for me) is that it covers his whole body, and doesn't leave and obvious target on his chest.

I don't see it, if anything it looks like the armor plates can bend with his movements

He's a biotic. He generates his own barriers. 

 

And I suppose we're ignoring the arguably flimsy justification that covering his chest restricts his breathing which hastens his death via kepral's syndrome?

It looks like it's designed to bend with the movement, yeah, but in my experience things like that tend to catch. They're not nearly so flexibe as the body underneath it.

Not every biotics know Barrier. Furthermore, They might Not be able keep it up the whole time. I don't see nothing wrong in extra protection, expecially if it's ah armour that doesn't slow/slow much the person.
I don't recall enough about the Kepral's Syndrome to say if that armour plating would worsen his condition. If so, Fair enough.

Kreprel's Syndrome limits the blood's ability to transfer oxygen throughout his body, it does not prevents him from breathing and using his lungs.

To be perfectly fair I don't know that the Kepral's syndrome excuse is actually official. I heard it was the official justification over on Tv Tropes; that could have just been some troper's conclusion that they jumped to.

For those unfamiliar with Kepral's Syndrome

 

A respiratory disease that afflicts drell. Kepral's Syndrome arose after the drell were evacuated from their arid homeworld of Rakhana to the hanar homeworld Kahje. Long-term exposure to Kahje's humid climate inexorably eroded the capacity for a drell's lungs to take in oxygen and damaged other organs, eventually causing death. While there is no cure for Kepral's Syndrome, hanar scientists are working on creating a genetic adaptation. Thane Krios is affected by this condition.

 

In ME3 they retconned the disease to speed up Thane's death. Essentially in ME2 it spread from his lungs partly into his stomach and then in ME3 it turned into a blood disease akin to Sickle-Cell with no mention of the lungs. If it was just the lungs a transplant could be performed. A disease of the blood cannot be fixed and death is assured.
