Can we have a reason to wear armor this time?

In the same way they wear their underwear on their trousers, they can wear their underwear on a suit of power armor.

 

I think the point is that if they have to be wearing regular armor then they're not really 'super'.

Super heroes rarely have anything "super" about them, they are naive, pathetic, they fall into every obvious trap possible,

they don't kill villains even if by killing them they can save millions of lives, and their powers rarely work when you really need them.

 

But that's just me.

 

Luckily, ME is not a "super hero" game, and you can have armor designs specific to every squad member, much like DA:I.

There is plenty of great fiction that takes itself seriously and pretty much completely ignores science or facts. e.g. Game of Thrones. Your vision for the game is different to that of the designers/creators, that' cool; but most of the fanbase (market) doesn't care about this (or care enough about it) for BioWare to be compelled to change the direction of the game. 

 

Uh. Game of Thrones is fantasy, it's not science fiction. What exactly are you trying to say? GoT (ok, I only know the novels, not the show) is fairly realistic for a medieval world, with some sprinkles of magic.

I can't think of a single thing that ignores science (after taking the magic setting into account).

 

Mass Effect on the other hand craps on things like evolution, biology, physics, astronomy and basic common sense... while at the same time delivering BS explanations that aren't even internally consistent with their own fictional science or their setting. What they tell us and what they show us are two wildly different things and it really doesn't help that the game is very in your face about it.

Miranda's rear end looked quite immersive to me.

But I liked ME1's armores a lot actually. So maybe in MEA we can have armor suits for combat and keep the skin tight latex outfits for that casual moments on the ship or something.

That's kind of the answer right there, don't you think? If BW handles things like biology, physics and astronomy so inaccurately, why would it be any different for something like armor? The whole lipstick on a pig thing.

 

Personally, I can mentally excuse most of the characters (Jack, Samara, Kasumi, Thane, even Liara) for various reason like hubris, mobility, etc.--meaning I could see a person making a personal decision using the excuse that it's less cumbersome, for instance. I mean, really, female armor in comics, gaming, movies, LARPing, etc. has never been about actual protection, at least not visually. Pretty much any female character I start out with D3 runs around in her panties and bra for the first 2 or 3 levels. I'm always super excited to find pants and shirts in that game, not that it really affects how the character looks since the chest armor still frequently looks like someone tied a small bandana around their boobs. :D

Yeah, Miranda's rear end broke my immersion too, at times...

You should see a doctor, it could be serious.

I'd like for us to have more control over companion appearance than in ME2 and 3

 

It would be nice if they could keep the "cool" outfits they started doing in ME2 but also let us equip companions with armor of our choice like in ME1 (not necessarily even to give different stats, just cosmetic differences would be nice) so that we can have the armor look practical.

 

It really ticked me off when they just put a little rebreather mask on someone instead of a vacuum sealed helmet and acted like that would be enough

So In ME 2 and 3 Shep was decked out in this badass armor.  But I was always like why?  Jack is half naked and can take a hit just as good as me.  What is the point of this armor?  So yeah no skin tight leather and topless fighters if our main character is forced into a big bulky armor suit again.

 

Jack was a biotic, the characters that wear casual clothing seem to the biotic or engineer types.

 

The soldier types wear heavy armour.

 

It's an rpg set-up.

 

Shepherd wore armour because they where default which is why you saw no class specific abilities in cutscenes.
