Remember when omni-tools looked like badass hardlight gauntlets?  Well now it looks like a rectangle with vomited-on textures... Am I the only one who feels that new omni-tools look worse than the original?  |

I also thought something was amiss when I saw those new omni-tools. They look like holograms on steroids.

I guess it's supposed to look like a notebook or something, but... meh. On a similar note, since when is the omniblade an actual, physical piece of gear you equip? Isn't it flash forged from scratch every time you attack?

Idk how i feel about this ... i like the old one but i dont hate this new one ... I'd go as far as to say that he old one seemed a bit bulky. The new one seems fine for what you use it for, hacking doors and such ... ... idk, i guess im fine with both? You can think of it this way, the andromeda initiative developed a different omni tool to suit their needs for exploring the andromeda galaxy. Thats why it doesnt looks the same. (at least thats what i tell myself  ) |

+1. I don't know what can possibly stand behind that 'redesign' descision, but I don't like it at all.
Onmitool used to be one of the most 'iconic' ME-features, along with N7 (which they had kept for no fucking reasons) and Avenger (which they also had kept). I dislike the overall redesign, and low textures make it look especially horrible - all pixelated and with weird patterns. They had screwed the combat tech 'casting' animations too. As someone who had always played as techShep, I find it very disappointing.
'Old omnitool' is the first must-have mod on my list (if it's even possible).

Isn't it flash forged from scratch every time you attack? Well you also could use different omni tools in ME1, so maybe omni-blade is like a seperate addon attachment lol? |

I also prefer the original omni-tool. I don't hate the new one, but it assuredly is less iconic and looks...odd.

Hate the new omnitool. I agree with the description of vomited on textures. It's doesn't always look like that, though... when opening doors/terminals and when using skills, it looks much more like the OT one. |

The "pad" interface could definitely use a retexturing, but the new version has multiple modes that have different shapes depending on use. Like, when Ryder repairs the helmet's visor in the prologue, it looks like the original one, and similarly when accessing devices, or use in combat, like with energy drain and overload.

I miss the old omnitool. It looked futuristic and cool in 2007, and it looks amazing still. This new Pip-boy's red haired stepchild we got now? I cringe every single time it shows up.

Honestly, the only thing that annoys me about the omni-tool is the lack of a color setting. Must it always glow in a gold-ish color? What if I want it to glow in a violet color?
There should be an RGB setting for the omni-tool.

The only thing that bugs me a little is the weird typing on it lol It gets to you once you've opened those damned doors a million times, especially the ones that take like 10 seconds to open, but yeah, the typing animation makes it look like a rectangle keyboard lol |

...Has this really become a thing people actively dislike?
I mean, I can understand if you prefer the older look, but something this relatively minor being a major gripe?
Ah well, ya'll do you. Opinions and all that. I just don't get it, personally.
