I don't necessarily like using tvtropes as a reference, however these complaints come up because of what they refer to as "MagicA is MagicA".  Willing suspension of disbelief relies on fiction being internally consistent , it need not necessarily be logical.  In ME2 when they broke consistency with ME1 on weapons heating they went ahead and explained that the mechanisms didn't really change - if they ignored it and just said 'ammo' that would have shattered suspension of disbelief.

In ME1 the rules say that you need to wear a pressure suit in hostile environments.  Between ME1 and ME2 that rule changed.  This kind of inconsistency is what breaks suspension of disbelief.

Spoilers.
There is a side quest where you go on a space station that had been overrun by mechs. Destroyed windows = vacuum. Last time I checked, vacuums causes oxygen in the blood to boil. Even if Miranda's clothing shielded against radiation and vacuums, her boobs, which are hanging out, WILL EXPLODE.
Which brings up an interesting radio show from GTA VCS.


The kinetic barries could still be intact.  The hostile environments don't bother me much because there could be kinetic barries keeping those at bay.  supposedly trained profesionals not wearing armor in a gun fight does bother me though. 



And so I direct you to my earlier post. Your squad is made up of professionals, but not necessarily combat professionals. Miranda is a tactical officer and glorified project head. Jack is pretty much just good at killing things with her powers. Tali is a science officer. Thane is an assassin and not a soldier.



They are not morons though.  I am not a soldier and yet I know if
given the option fo wearing a vest into a gunfight or a tshirt I am
going to wear the vest.  They know they aren't  currently being an admisintrative assistant they are an operative in a gun fight, they would put on armor.

And yet in just about every battle you get in you see how useless plain armor is. If the mercs aren't shielded or wearing heavy armor, they are gunned down in 1-3 shots. It doesn't seem like the "armor" that the mercenaries wear is better than anything else.

wow this thread has gone a bit beyond what I was hoping for originally... :/ I was just asking if anyone official from Bioware or sumthing had explained why our squadmates dont wear armor or only use breather masks in space like on the derelict reaper mission. So I guess its a no? Only reason I ask is cuz frantically searching the codex didnt doo any good.

I was surprised too but it isn't that big of a deal. You couldn't do it in Jade Empire.... But then again this is a sequal to a game where you could change armor...

Because Biowar didn't have the money/time for it. Simple as that.

I can't believe rabid fanboys are defending this, and even make idiotic excuses for it.
