Last week's CAGcast has a good interview with the lead designer on ME2, who discusses the face-covering armor complaints.

Warning: audio quality is shit for about 50% of it.

Yeah, I didn't like to walk with the helmet too. I like to see my feminine face

ehehe

True.

At the same time, an uncovered head in space combat where lasers and missiles are flying about seems silly as well. I compromised with that helmet that gives full head protection but shows his face. Don't recall the name. *shrug*

For extra playthroughs, I'll consider things like the foreboding-looking Deathspeaker helmet (whatever the hell it's called that gives conversation bonuses)

Frankly, if they were able to pull that off with the animated helmet on/off....that'd just be too awesome and I'd geek out.

I kept expecting it really. I think I've seen something like it in another game.

Oh, for spdiscus's post about that interview, the helmet stuff's about 50 minutes in.

I prefer the N7 armor with various purchased pieces that add more to shields and shield strength as opposed to the other sets. That shotgun will be nice though when it comes to Husk rushes.

I've been rocking the sniper rifle recently for Husk rushes.

Sniper maxed out+Inferno maxed out is awesome. Two hits for collectors.

This.

I hated the decision they made with the weapons and armour. There was so little armour in the game that they might as well have not bothered and just let you do the colours/patterns.

I liked the system over ME1 and its endless line of weapons/armor that had no real effect besides increased stats. You had basically 3 armor lines with various textures each and 4 weapons.

What I didn't like from ME2 was even though I loved the customization of the N7 armor, there weren't enough pieces (The Dr. Pepper head gear helped) and I wish the weapons had retained the customization slots. I did like how all the weapons were meaningful and different but I wish there were a bit more choices and having another shotgun is a welcome addition.

I was buying Armour pieces all over the galaxy. I mostly stuck with the health increasing bits, but found the ammo upping arm band helpful as well.

I hated the helmet thing too, and it wouldn't have been that difficult to fix. Just remove the helmet in non-combat situations.
