I just started my first Titan last night. I was finally able to add all of the items to the vault so I could delete my second warlock without losing too many pieces (still lost some good weapons).

Anyway... I really like the simplicity of the basic armor you start with. It's non bulky and looks fairly decent in general. Once I hit level 20 am I going to be stuck with really bulky armor? Or are there some legendary/exotic pieces that will not force me to look like a transformer?

The only piece that is slimming, is the shield shoulder/armlets, I forget the name of them. When I had them on my female titan I felt almost naked with them.

They look terrible on femtitans though IMO

Yeah... they just look weird with other armor. Also, the color.

...do all of the high level armor variants look like this?

And I would argue even with my exo male titan, I can still achieve a smooth, trim profile, even if his body build is more Tight-End then Corner-Back.

Note: this is only an approximation of banana's titan's appearance.

That said: yes, you can look downright skinny with a female.

My personal favorite style of armor is non-bulky with lots of spikes. This also looks much better on a female titan though. Which is why I liked the legendary armor that has all the blades on them.

Nothing complements a shoulder/knee charge like a giant ass blade sticking out of your knee and shoulder

I was pretty bummed out at a lot of the bulk when I created my Titan. So far the IB gauntlets have been my go-to. No Back Up Plans look amazing, and are my favorite look by far. The Queen shaders (Rosegold) are a must.

A bit linebacker, but I like how Ruin Wings bring the look together.

Please note the fuzzy collar.

It gets cold on the moon and mars too, so I'm prepared for those places too. But I sweat my balls off on Venus and Mercury. Too bad they don't have shorts.

OOOoooooooooooooohhhhhh, new armor type, kilts!!!!

And also over-warm. I don't think you'd get much relief in a hot climate. But, hey, this is all make-believe so: kilts are cool too.

And Bungie would have to get it's kilt physics perfect - we don't want anything clipping through the kilt that shouldn't clip through the kilt. And jumping up on things better be safe for work. :-)

What I mean is... instead of locking armour abilities to a specific piece of armour... associate those abilities with a look or style that can be applied to different pieces of armour. Something noticeable but that doesn't completely dominate the look of the armour.

Or Bungie could make look variants of each piece and let you pick the variants that fit well with each other.

Of course, the simplest thing would to be to not worry about looks. Just swap the abilities of one piece that you own with another piece that you own - all without touching the look at all.

But, I suppose, in PvP - people might rely on recognizing what someone is wearing so that they know what abilities to expect from them.

Is that an issue any-more? Are there so many combinations that they are hard to keep track of or do people look for what kit people are wearing and adjust accordingly?

I think if they lock exotic perks to exotic armor but let you shuffle legendary and below armor abilities, this could work. The only reason I even think the exotic caveat is necessary is the for the Helm of Saint 14. If you see a Titan with a mohawk drop a bubble, you know stepping into that bubble is a bad idea. :p

This one specific example is literally the only decent argument against Transmog exotics, and they could fix it by making the bubble itself have an alternate appearance.

I think it would be cool. You have fake helms that don't blind you, and normal helms you do More mind games.

I don't see the problem. Stepping into a Titan's bubble is always a bad idea. :)

2 days ago I managed to melee kill a Titan inside his own bubble. That's a dragon I'll always chase now.

You were just playing a bad, bad Titan. That should rarely happen (unless there are a lot of you, or unless he's using weapons of light inside his bubble).

He was wielding a shotgun, though, so it might've been lag too.

(WoL is fantastic for upping your damage - but there's ZERO value to staying IN the bubble after the initial placement - you get no buff at all, but you're a sitting duck for supers/shotguns/etc. If you're going to use WoL, you place your bubble, take up position NEAR it, then dip in as your buff fades. If you stay inside, you WILL die quickly.)
