Just on the border of your waking mind
I am sure there are better weapons. One early update suggested 5 tiers per subtype, it might have changed due to limited asset. Armors are inferred to be as good as it gets but I am not too sure at all.
I asked Vince a similar question and he replied that the demo does not contain all gear from the game. So it is pretty vague. That set description says that its from cost-effective mass-produced armor series. What I want to see is one elite set armor made by the best earth technology without any budget compromises and then taken on the ship by the highest command. It would be like finding mythical armor compared to everything else on the ship.

UBER said:Sure, Fallout is great, but the first enemy doesn't kill you with a two-shot crit. And having to chose stats in the beginning is okay as long as they are balanced. When you first started Fallout 3 did you have to remake your character 5 times just to beat the first enemy? I don't think so. Also it's more interesting to gain skills and apply them to your build through progression rather than assign them all in the beginning to have an over powered character at a specific task. The point of a good RPG is to role play a fun character, not to remake one every time you died. But good and bad are all subjective, what you think is good, someone else might think is bad. That's the whole point of taste.
Hopefully, but I fear that the set Winfield is wearing is the best one in game protection-wise.
This doesn't make any sense even still. The game is designed to be played in a way that is character system based and this is the moon to casual players. You can cripple the enemies, lower their THC and HP, and these players will still die, reload with the same build and die again. They don't know how to play cRPGs. Did you see the references he quote? A jPRPG and a popamole game that plays itself. That's the bar. Unless ITS abandon their interest in cRPGs there is no way to please this crowd. This will apply to any decent cRPG. Let's say he plays Underrail on easy. He will die many times, ask for a refund, and leave a negative review. But you see, that's his choice to behave like a self-indulgent retard. He knows he could learn the systems and beat the game, but he doesn't want to do any effort. He thinks that developers are being paid to please his ego, and therefore he should do whatever other developer does.
We wouldn't show everything we have in the combat demo, would we?
You assume incorrectly.
By today's standards, no. In the distant future, they will be as common as hip replacements, so I doubt that anyone would raise an eyebrow. The mutants are a different story though.
Better than cheap export to third world conflict zones? Absolutely. Custom armor made for Commander Shepard himself? Doubtful.
There will be plenty of unique things there, that's for sure.
They also frowned on alcohol, whores, and many other things now present on the ship.
Humans have been bashing each other's brains out over petty differences for millennia. I'd like to be wrong on this, but I doubt this will ever change.
Now that gets my hopes up! Did not realize that Winfield's armor was that cheap on Earth.
Doubtful or impossible, ha ha? N7 armor was extremely lame though, when it came to personal protection armor suits with no expense spared in production, colossus armor was the top-line product, yours only for a gazillion star dollars.
These petty differences wouldn't include tech augmentations, in my opinion. As a race, we're very understanding about such things (coincidentally this makes Mankind Divided's 'socially-aware' main theme pretty fucking stupid). Lost a leg? Have a wooden peg. Lost an eye? Here's a glass eye for you. Lost your teeth to scurvy? No worries, thanks to our cutting edge tech you can have meticulously carved wooden dentures (apparently the first dentures were made back in 7 century BC).
But those early prosthetics were so primitive that they barely improved the life of a man who in a case with lost limbs has become an invalid. No reason to persecute someone who is ruined, pitiful and weaker than you. Cybernetic enhancement of the future on the other hand inevitably comes with advantages of being a cyborg. It deepens the gap between the poor who can't afford it and the rich who can and with implants become even more successful in life. The advent of advanced cybernetic technology can be seen as emergence of new subspecies, who are more evolved and advanced than a baseline human. Our primitive ancestors showed us that we don't really want to share our worlds with other sapient beings and I think there is a possibility for violent tensions in the society of the future unless cheap cybernetic/genemod technology is available to absolutely everyone.
But you're not replacing lost limbs with the implants, are you? You're "improving" the body God gave you - from the point of a religious fanatic (playing God). Cutting off a healthy arm and replacing it with a bionic one is a bit different, no?
Well, the rich are the first to benefit from all tech and medical advances, that's true, but the tech makers can't limit their markets only to the 1%. So they'd market cheaper versions like the next best thing and the poor will get deeper in debt to own that new best thing, etc. Remember when only the rich had mobile phones (talking about those big ass phones with antennas). Now every pleb has a smart phone.
Depends on how you look at it. Today if your eyesight goes down, you buy glasses or start wearing contact lenses or do a surgery and hope for the best. How many people would say no to a brand new eyeball?
No artificial limbs in the game. If you mean in general, I doubt that someone would cut off a perfectly good arm but there are plenty of amputees who'd love one.
Will take a look, thanks.
I have to agree, I was writing a response to previous poster with exact same words. Yes, I remember when first mobile phones were a luxury and a status item, and then they were not. Surely the asians will flood the market with cheap cyborgs eventually, so much money can be made and in modern world money rule everything. So even if I would like to see dystopian future with cyborg wars I do not truly believe it can happen with current world order.
Some points of STR is quite good imo, otherwise you start getting armor penalties very early on. I will agree I don't really see the point to go all in on armor with the current armors.
I'm pretty sure VD tried this with DR (AoD also had an AWESUM MOED with an extra good character), the problem is that a lot of people will not be happy until they can select HARDEST MODE and still have an easy time.
