What the heck was Bioware thinking when they pulled this from ME2?

In the original game, you had one armor equip type with the ability to toggle the helmet on or off. Now in ME2, the helmet is a separate equip with attributes. So not wearing it means sacrificing status bonuses.

Why don't I like wearing it? Because it interferes with the fantastic facial and conversation animation that this game has been known for. Look how stupid this is:

This added with the fact, they completely axed the inventory system means I can't even remove the armor when I want to. I have to use a terminal system (located only on the Normany).

They did an awesome job, with the dialogue, but since I paid for the Collector's Armor and Inferno gear, I have to watch it a la Master Chief styIe :(

Yea never wore a helmet for this reason.

it will be fixed when they bring the game to ps3:P

Seems like it needs a patch.:P

this belongs to the Mass effect 2 forums

I haven't played ME2 but thats stupid why they didn't do that. I actually would toggle the helmet for certain things. Like inside places it'd be off but during combat it'd be on. I did it because thats prolly what you would do normally if you had a helmet but yeah that looks stupid especially coming off dragon age where no matter what kinda helmet you had all the cut scenes show you without it.

Shame that they took out the grenades and crouching too.

Uhh

go to your quarters on the normandy and put on the helmet when you're about to do a mission. It isn't a hassle at all to do. Take it off if you're going to be walking around the citadel or something.

I agree, its the main reason why I don't wear my Blood Dragon Armor or Terminus gear. I can't complain thoe...Sheaperd does look pretty bad ass with a visor:P

You got to look at the big package. The whole of the game is great. You get the feeling you were thrown into The Blade runner meets Star Trek movies and the combat system is more enjoyable than Gears Of War for me.

it did look rather awkward after :spoilers:

meeting liara for the first time as her being my romance option, she kissed the helmet which looked really wierd.
