Best looking armor?

Toss-up between Pathfinder and Hyperguardian.

The Heleus Defender armor looks good until you get it to V, then the neckpiece thing makes it look like shit.

It's like you have your own Boba Fett.

I agree - I love the look of the Initiative armour but its stats are useless compared to things like N7 if playing a biotic.

Once rick has finished his save editor I hope it might be possible to edit the stats on armours to keep the look of Initiative but with N7 stats.

The best will always be the Maverick set, more sleek and badass looking imo, some armor set just look too bulky down the line

2nd place goes to Pathfinder set

Every armor in the game has something I do not like about it, either on the male or female character.
AI Armor: Too much clipping with the helmet on Spearpoint for the male character.
Maverick: Bugged. Hazard textures does not show up and the lack of shin armor makes it look weird.
Pathfinder: Arms have too little armor for the forearm and wrist, and lacks abdominal armor.

I could go on, but on my female character I usually go with AI armor. And on my male character, I go with Maverick, with Kett leg armor. Though that hazard texture bug really annoys me, especially on Elaaden.

I don't like big bulky armor, so I wear just a tier 2 remnant chest piece and hyperguardian helmet.
It's quite a challenge. A vanguard with bad armor stat. lol

Wish there's mod that allows you to wear asari armor.

N7 Training: Interplanetary Combatives Training (ICT) is the Systems Alliance's

premier school for leadership and combat expertise. The Interplanetary

Combatives Academy, sometimes called "N-School" or "the villa," recruits

officers from every branch of Earth's militaries to partake in grueling

courses at Vila Militar in Rio de Janeiro.

Initially, candidates train for more than 20 hours per day,

leading small combat teams through hostile terrain with little sleep or

food. Trainees who do well are awarded an internal designation of N1 and

are invited to return. Subsequent courses - N2 through N6 - are often

held off-planet and include instruction in zero-G combat, military

free-fall (parachuting), jetpack flight, combat diving, combat

instruction, linguistics, and frontline trauma care for human and alien

biology.

The highest grade of training, N6, provides actual combat

experience in combat zones throughout the galaxy. If the trainee

survives these scenarios in "admirable and effective fashion," he or she

finally receives the coveted N7 designation. N7 is the only ICT designation that may be worn on field or dress uniforms.

There is little shame in failing an N course - the training is so

extreme that even qualifying for N1 elevates an officer to a position

of respect. The universal prestige of merely attending the academy helps

to restrain trainees from taking excessive risks in pursuit of higher

honors.

Although ICT qualification by itself does not guarantee higher

rank, those officers who are able to complete the program are typically

well suited to senior leadership positions.





Ryder did some peacekeeping.

N7!

I like the extra neck guard at level 5, it reminds me of the Didact's armour from Halo 4.

My choice should be rather obvious:

I do like the ME:A system that allows you to craft augments into your gear, so even if the base stats of the armor don't benefit your build much, you can still add what you want.

It's not quite the level of "Give us different armor looks, we choose which stats (through mods) the armor has" that I wanted when I heard about ME:A crafting, but at least it's a step in the right direction.
