YES! xD However, I think the discussion is finished in a nice way.

Well, personally I always envisioned that female HEV suits would be the same as the dudes’ ones. I never liked the “breastplated” or more slender look that a lot of games go for female characters, just doesn’t feel right to me for a suit of armour.

While I agree on the “breastplated” part, I completely disagree on how it should look exactly same part. I don’t think HEV suit is a one size fits all type of thing. What if the scientist wearing it is shorter, taller, thinner or fatter? It is a protective suit, I think it would be custom ordered for the people that needs to wear one. (after all, you don’t pick scientists depending on the body type, thats just unrealistic and if you can’t fit the protective suit you are wearing, it is useless to you) Female version could be slightly different, just a bit slender and shorter.

I think there’s a noticeable difference in physique. Obviously you don’t want to make it look exaggeratedly feminine (the HEV suit often has that covered anyway), just modified proportions.

I agree to this. While I wouldn’t want an exaggeratedly feminine version, modified proportions sound good.

I have nothing against adding playermodels, but cant we just drop this social justice attitude where “female players now cant identify themselves with the game character”.
Next thing is we need a black man in a HEV suit playermodel, isnt it?

I highly doubt that obese and noticably shorter scientists are using HEV suits. I always figured HEV scientists are mostly athletic:
