If anything, we should be able to customize companion gear anyway like we can in DAI. None of this would be an issue then and people would go on to complain about something else either being "fan service" or not conforming with the lore.
This I can agree with. Don't really care what kind of whacky thing people use, but if I can put my entire crew into what seems to be at least an approximation of what I think suits the situation most, then I'd be happy.
Miranda's heels tho... let's focus on that.
This is called "deflecting" 
Heeled boots make certain sense, given cavalry boots and all, but I suspect Samara's at least were elevated beyond practical.
The only way Samara's boots even flirted with the idea of "practical" would be if she literally floated everywhere instead of walking.

You are totally on topic, Iakus.
'Bout that ending?
Especially when many of the "because video game" people are very quick to play the "but that's not realistic" card on other issues. It's a consistency thing.
Are you implying i'm one of those people Dave? You'd be wrong if that's the case.
And let's not pretend it doesn't go both ways. Plenty here will rabidly bash realism if someone uses it to criticise the amount of gay companions or something considered "progressive" but are quick to use the realism arguments in threads like this.

I don't know about others, but I like a measure of realism at every level of the lore, barring "the one big lie" that is necessary to make the Sci-Fi portion work.
Example: I like Biotics, but I do wish they fine-tuned them a little bit more according to the lore, and cut away ridiculous mind-control and vampire powers.
It was an exciting scene, but I can't see giant crocodile dinosaur without thinking about that earlier Katie McGrath scene. 
But if the Indominus is dead, why release the T Rex? XD
Anyways, what a dumb ass movie.

Its almost like they made it to cash in on people wanting to see Dinosaurs fight on the big screen again, and it shows.
We need a male LI for MEA who has to keep shifting around all game because of his package size, and at the end of the romance his pants drop off and you get to see his XXL Disco Stick.
It can make the entire game a metaphor for Christmas, with the climax being you unwrapping the gift you wanted all year and know you got, but still feel just as excited waiting to take it out and play around with it all day.

True. Thanks to bias/preference nearly everyone will overlook realism if it conflicted with the existence or implementation of their favored feature. Me? Depending on the design sexy suits won't bother me, but i can't stand the sight of heels on combatants in visually semi realistic actions games like ME, whereas a game like Bayonetta i wouldn't care.

I actually kinda hate that scene, partly because it seemed sort of incongruent to the rest of the movie's tone, but mostly because I feel that the redhead chick deserved it more, given the character she was playing.
So anyway ... let's talk chain mail bikini now, can we? I for once don't want to rely on the Nexus to give us a mod for that, they should ship with the game!
And don't give me nonsense about realism or "its a space-setting, not fantasy", or degrading to women ... chain mail bikinis or bust! that should be our motto ...
Just sayin' to interrupt any kind of serious discussion, please carry on ...
Yes there was. There were several missions, both main and side, that were exposed to environmental hazards like vacuums, radiation, toxins, etc. Places the lore states you need protective suits to venture since kinetic and biotic barriers don't protect you from them.
Apparently, you didn't look up the mission I referenced. For reference:

I know exactly what mission you were referring to, and there were multiple missions like that in ME2, as well as other missions with other hazards.
See my next comment. I want to do a multi-quote reply.

I'm certain BioWare would have made more appropriate outfits for these characters in ME3. They did not, which likely means most of the player base did not care enough one way or the other.

I'll get to the nudity part of this thread in a moment.
How would you like to have your customized outfit ideas to be made possible in-game?
Customization is a big part of the fun in any game. Let's consider: Do you want to have each crew mate get ~ 20 optional outfits, for combat and casual, with 4-5 options for each part of their armor and attire, with a large palette of colors and fabric/texture styles? Jewelry and body art too? Such an extensive level of control for customizing the appearance of many squaddies would be an entire DLC in itself. Maybe it can be done that way! What would you be willing to pay for such a DLC? I paid for the DLCs that allowed me to choose one different armor appearance for the NPCs in ME-2. That was way too limited. I particularly liked Jack's alternate attire, over her tattooed skin and narrow body bands. I just didn't like to have to pay a couple of bucks for only one alternate outfit for only three NPCs. Still, I gave each of my squaddies the alternate appearances and was happier with the aesthetic improvements.
Would you want to custom control how much nudity your particular PC and NPC will show? In various scenarios (combat, off-duty, in bed/shower)? Do you want the game to be rated X? If you go that far with this, serious proof of age controls would be required for world-wide jurisdictions. Talk about criminal investigations into BW and EA? Those costs would destroy them. And there's no reason to do it. What fans want is only a part of the calculus going into game design features, not to mention the costs of time and resources. Do you want full control over each character's physique, or have 10+ optional physical appearances to choose from (from thin to bulked up)? I'm seriously interested in reading about what you have in mind. I'd like to see if a companion DLC could be released for full character customizations, and I'd pay up to $45 USD for the privilege.

Would you want to decide how much nudity a particular PC and NPC will show? In various scenarios (combat, off-duty, in bed/shower)? Do you want the game to be rated X? Would that make any sense in a ME milieu? Do you want full control over each character's physique, or have 10+ optional physical appearances to choose from (from thin to bulked up?).

I am all for customization. The problem we don't have infinite resources and time. Just look at DA: Inquisition. Mage have like 3 armour sets. All game I use only one armour for my mage because I didn't like other. Better just have one set companions armour representing character personality and be done with it. And focus on our character. And why would you put Miranda or Jack in full armour it's like putting Avelina in Isabel's clothes or opposite put Isabela into Avelinas armour and give her sword and shield. it's just make no sense.

Actually I agree with you, for the most part. The purpose of my post's questions (above) is to draw out from those who want full NPC customization (and in the topic of this nudity thread) to describe in more specific detail what they would like to see, and how they would like to have such extensive customization controls implemented into the game.
This subject is entirely in goldie-locks territory. I like Miranda's and Jack's optional full armor aesthetics during combat scenes, but I'd also like NPC's to have optional attire appearances when off duty. The 'one outfit for all occasions' could be improved. I'd like to see each NPC have varied sets of optional off-duty and shipboard attire, perhaps even clothing options (clothing optional?) for the romantic evening attire as well, and with different hair style options for the different settings. It's always seemed odd to me in the ME-1 intro when Shepard walked through the ship to Joker's station. Why on earth would a PC wear full combat gear and weapons inside the ship when there's no combat anywhere? And Shepard was the only character all suited up. Makes no sense to me.
For your concern about time and resources? 1) Paying for such optional control as a DLC might cover the development and resource costs, if there is a market for it in this fan base. 2) If it's a matter of your own time and resources to devote to such customization, then you can just use the presets that you like. I much more preferred the facial presets for ManShep and FemShep over anything I could customize (I gave up, eventually). This doesn't have to be an either/or situation. Devote your time and customization any way you want, and let others choose how they want to spend their time. I don't understand your difficulty in understanding this, but I'm not going to engage any more of my time with this.
And focus on character, of course.
Nope, it wasn't a shot at you. I can see why it looked like though. Just a general observation. And it definitely flows in both directions.Are you implying i'm one of those people Dave? You'd be wrong if that's the case.

What's wrong with nudity and sex? It isn't M for mature for nothing it's a mature game for a mature audience who want to see or expect nudity and adult content. I'm proud of CDPR of how they handled sexuality and they're unafraid of doing it. And they're people who said that they want sex scenes to be not like XXX, but don't be unrealistic of showing underwear and make a 30 sec kissing and grabbing and it's over. Sex and nudity is natural as long as they don't make it so degrading and twisted, I'll think they'll be fine putting sexuallity in the game. I think we need to stop being ashamed of them and embrace it.I'll get to the nudity part of this thread in a moment.

I agree with this completely. It isn't rated M for nothing and there's nothing wrong with sex or nudity as you said. It can be done very tastefully like the witcher has done, nudity doesn't necessarily mean it's cheap or trashy and anyone who's underage shouldn't be playing the game anyway.
