Character Kits (Jaal's kit is out)

Yeah it looks pretty modern and funky to me. She wears it well.

I think those who are complaining about it being too edgy/teen/emo have more valid complaints than those comparing it to trashy mother memes.

Bonus points for romance-specific attire. 

I noticed a lot of talk about Cora's hair, so I'm gonna weigh in, even though no one cares.

It's a shitty haircut.

But far be it from me to tell someone else how to style their hair. As long as she's not my character, I don't really care.

I don't think you're a pig for thinking that way.  I don't get the outrage over portraying characters as physically beautiful, male or female.  It doesn't get my back up against the wall when someone built like a tank (James Vega?) wears a tight shirt that shows off his physique.  I'm not going to think: "Oh, that's what I should look like!  Now I'm sad "

I like eye candy in the media content I peruse.  And so do others.  Which is why video games, movies, television, magazines, advertising, etc., is ripe with it.

All that said, I think both Cora and Peebee look great.  So it's a matter of taste!

The aliasing in those pdfs bothers me.

I really hope she has an alternate outfit that actually makes sense. 

The Character kits are great. At least I think so. As someone who draws, and wants to draw Cora, they will help immensely!

Most likely, and definitely when it comes to headgear. Still, Liara was given a suit and in that one shot of PeeBee it looks like she is in armor so there is a little hope for the neck down fitting logic and lore.

It doesn't even need to be combat armor, since most protection during battle comes from shields/barriers anyway. But the lore says that in order to be protected from hostile environments a person needs to wear a fully-sealed suit. Mass Effect 1 did this, but since ME2 the lore has sadly been thrown away for the Rule of Cool. 

Yes, kinetic barriers only protect a person from fast-moving objects, to avoid situations like sending a chair flying across the room if they try to sit down as an example used by the Codex. 

I'm not saying they shouldn't wear combat armor since it is useful for things other than combat, just that someone could go without armor and fit the lore as long as they have at least a fully-sealed suit. Just like real life where astronauts don't need to be wearing armor while in space but do need a fully-sealed space suit. 
As for self-preservation, clearly there was a disagreement among the higher ups of the Andromeda Initiative about what is enough considering we carry guns and yet the Nomad and Tempest do not. Better hope whatever we run across and can't run from can be taking down by infantry-level weaponry. 

I do the same. I always read the planet description to see if it is hazardous. If it is, I only bring people who are fully protected since otherwise we have people going around in attire that should result in their injury or death within minutes. Unfortunately that is something that could be easily rectified but Bioware doesn't seem interested in following their lore. 

I don't get the complaining about Peebee, though I do think the name is dumb, she looks great imo.

Problem is, I agree with Hanako. She should be wearing something more appropriate for exploration of space when needed. So I hope there are alternate outfits for the squadmates.

Seeing Peebee's real name I can now kind of see why she would want to go by a nickname. I think I'll probably like her, but I'm still not 100% sure.
