I played and enjoyed the first DxM and the power armor thing doesn't bother me at all. It's like a knight in armor except it's mechanized sci-fi armor. As far as game-play is concerned, you're just a small mech. I haven't bought DxM2 yet but the demo was alright so maybe I'll get it later after I'm done with my current game. My biggest issue is actually that the character creator is basically pointless with how limited the options are. Females need height and chest sliders, they should've just fully went with a fixed MC if they wanted to keep the CC this limited.
