Yes I copied the title. Post anything for game mechanics to story, characters, etc.
My big gripe is in RPGs like Fallout or Skyrim. I hate when you have the best armor in the game, but the NPCs still treat you like you're some yocal. For example, wearing T51b power armor in Fallout 3. The Outcast and BoS guys still say something like "Oh look. Here's some of the local wildlife now".when you're around them when you have better armor than they do. I mean, they record lines for all kinds of possible situations, but couldn't record a few more so they deal with you like an equal?
Another is when the game gives you a sniper rifle, but enemies don't appear until you're so close it's not useful. For some reason, even with a pretty high powered gaming PC, in Saints Row IV some enemies don't appear until you're in the area so you can't snipe them.
Finally I had been talking with a couple cousins (who are female) about the female armor in games. I'm kind of conflicted on this, because for certain stories, settings, or species the "sexy armor" could make sense (like the Asari in ME). I also think you have to separate the so called "boob armor" from the "sexy armor". The difference being boob armor is like the female Mass Effect where the armor looks effective, but it, well has boobs on it. The sexy armor usually has a midriff showing, lots of cleavage, and no leg armor. Anway they think both are stupid. I say for the boob armor, it's more of being able to tell that a helmeted character is female I think. My cousin argues that in the US military they are working on women's armor by making it fit their breasts underneath the armor, so it still looks flat on the outside. So she said future armor would probably be like that. For games like WoW or some other fantasy games, it's more about the look and not supposed to be really serious though.
