 Who wants to walk around covered in ceramic plates like a medieval man?

Those ''medieval men'' were called knights and no, they did not walk around covered in ceramic plates.

Maybe s/he got confused and meant the terracotta army?

But..., but..., wasn't the whole idea of "iconic armor" (starting in DA2/ME2) that our squad mates would be easier to recognize? So we were told by BW, right? Ghehe.

I don't mind that being an option, but it shouldn't be forced on us.

They also said they were doing it to help facilitate cosplay, and yet people still manage to do it with DAO characters.

[Almostfaceman]

Mass Effect 1 started out "practical" so it should stay that way. The derpy outfits and breather masks for ME2 & 3 just felt out of place. I can understand the iconography they were going for regarding certain characters, but they did it in a way that made it feel like they were dropped on their heads between ME1 and 2. 

 

If people want a choice with the skimpy (like the OP mentions) I say make it DLC. If enough people pay for that kind of stuff, maybe they can implement it "standard" in later games. I'm talking about "combat" gear, here, not the casual outfits we got used to in ME3, when we're not in combat. 

[Arcian]

Sure I understand why: To avoid controversy. To avoid getting hammered by people who think it's demeaning.

Ooooooor they did it because no self-respecting soldier would go into combat in a wafer-thin catsuit that leaves nothing to the imagination.

I enjoy sexy women as much as the next guy, but not at the expense of common sense. Real women soldiers go into combat wearing bulky, practical armor, and that's not going to change 200 years into the future.

They should take pointers from the way Halo handles female armor design.

I vote practical for the actual game and DLC outfit packs for those that really want revealing. I really want practical armor in the game though, because if there is a way to mod it, modders will add plenty of revealing outfits for the female characters (and barely anything for the men -- seriously, the only times I've seen sexy stuff for male characters was a slider set for male Hawke and a dark outfit for Carth Onasi).

Still pretty tame compared to 40K space marines 

Yes but the entire 40k setting boils down to "What if we took this idea to its logical extreme, and then went like 40k times beyond that?"

Hell, the most basic unit in the game - the Space Marine - is a tank-sized super soldier wearing absurdly large, tank-grade personal armor, their equivalent of a sidearm being a big ass gun firing bullets that explode like tank shells on impact. And these guys regularly go up against an endless swarm of insectoids that literally ate an entire galaxy, psychic warp gods who spit in the face of reality and a race of self-regenerating, half-humanoid/half living moss beings that improves their technology by painting it in different colors.

 

It's a setting that has zero restraint while at the same time taking itself 100% seriously, which is why I find it so utterly boring. Even orks, one of the biggest joke races in anything made, ever, are treated in the lore with the same pretentious tryhard attitude as everything else in the franchise.

 

It's quite telling when Blizzard Entertainment basically cribbed their ideas verbatim and then went "Yeah, we're going to tone this down, like, a lot." Blizzard Entertainment, which is one of the Rule of Cooliest goddamn developers in history.

 

No offense to anyone who likes WH40k, I think everyone has this one really dumb thing that they love, and that's okay. I, for example, love Mass Effect.

The Starcraft Marines aren't really that toned down compared to the WH40k Space Marines.

Behold MEC-5 Devastator in it's full splendor. To be worn by Mechanized Exoskeletal Cybersuit Troopers, or MEC Troopers for short.

I believe full plate wasn't even the norm. It was this extremely rare thing only nobles could afford.

Butt plates > boob plates, then?

[Giantdeathrobot]

Yeah, but that's a setting that prides itself on never being tame or subtle if it can possibly help it.

 

Myself I'd be Ok with ME1-style light armors making a comeback. It's not out of the realm of possibility that the advanced alloys present in Mass Effect allow for very light armor that still offers reasonable protection. But cleavage, high heels, and breather masks in space can get lost in the serie's past where it belongs.

[Obvakhi]

Nobody wants diaper ass.

[Arcian]

Butt plates > boob plates, then?

Yes, since it applies to the male Spartans as well.

[SKAR]

Boob plates.......ok. Butt plates? NO! We want to see dat @$$. LOL

Whatever, that stuff belongs on floors, not on people.

 

Nude spacesuits. It's the future.

 

People can make armour mods if they like.

 

Vanilla ME:A = full frontal hanging awesomeness.

Technically the most basic unit would be the Imperial Guardsman...

 

 

I'll get my coat, yeah, that's the one - the anorak - thanks.

Actually pissed my self laughing reading the cartoon lol

I wonder if Diana Allers was ever slated to say "Super booty, reporting live…" Because really, dat ***.

[ZenJestr]

I think it'd be best if we had the option to wear revealing casual outfits for both sexes, but actual combat armor should always be practical or, at the very least, believable.

I also think that we should have the option to wear casual clothing into missions at a significant cost to our damage resistance and Health total. cuz sometimes you just wanna Biotic Charge all the things in your underwear y'know?

It did look good but the dress made it look bigger than it actually was. Regardless, it was nice.

What is that? is it a plane? a bird?

 

 

No it is the Nude Charge!! 

[SKAR]

For this game bio stated we're not exactly wearing straight up combat armor. There is cloth and they wanted to make the armor more realistic and believeable. It has shields and it can be used in combat but ist more for exploration. Thats my opinion.

[goofyomnivore]

I hope there isn't any boob plate armor. I'd rather people be in catsuits than that nonsense.
