Poll: POLL: Sci-fi bodymodding. Bio or Mech?

[holographicman]

BIO all the way!
super strength and speed, regeneration and a badass organic aesthetic
as opposed to boring grey mech armor....
which has been done a thousand times before....

also to ALL those voting for a mixture of biological and cybernetic modifications
When the inevitable civil war between the genetically altered humans and cybernetic space marines breaks out you will be executed for heresy/treason
so pick a side 0.o

i would prefer to have my organs replaced by better, organic ones(+secondary and tertiary ones just to be sure.

mech-parts on the outside in the form of having a computer implanted in the forearm(I'm looking at you, Cable) or having my eyes replaced. I wouldn't want to look like a cyborg, so my metal skin should always be under a layer of normal skin(unless i want it to be the top layer, either to show off or to intimidate, or for maintenance).
From an aesthetic point of view I wouldn't like BIO because it alwys makes me think of tumor growth or insect carapaces. Mech on the other hand could be nicely incoporated with all the metal i wear on my body anyway(jewelry, watch, piercings and stuff).

but for some reason i would always prefer to have some organic component as a backup, not because of sabotage, in the age of scifi-bodymodding it's likely to be as easy to manipulate biomods as it is tech mods.

...


Soi just my own thoughts and to sum this up I don't care as long as i still look human(unless i could just put my brain in a huge spider-combatwalker) but still would prefer mech.

Mostly Bio with a few mech mixed in for those bosses that are hard to kill with Bio.

Go Go Mech Death Toes!

Bio.
Those who have already played Prototype will have to agree with me on this one.

Although I wonder what happen if Mercer got himself some mech modification.

Mechanical, on the basis that the idea of a computer implanted into one's brain is pretty interesting. Hack anything you want, instant access to any information you could ever need, calculator in your head...yes, this will do.

Unless the brain implant emails your thoughts to an advertising agency. Hmm.

Mech... Luke Skywalker gets a hand.
Bio... Alex Mercer impales a company of soldiers.


I think I'll go with bio.

Can you honestly say you would choose bio over this?

And why choose at all, both is double the awesome! Get imba machine parts and improve the parts you don't replace. Like the terminator in the third movie, except you'd be alex mercer on a framework of awesome machine stuff.

 

[Nouw]

Robot Hands for the win.

 

[Firetaffer]

I wanna be a krogan!

 

[Aglynugga]

Hell yeah, where's the bodymod shop.

 

[Death God]

I'd personally like both. I could have robotic eyes to help see in the night, heat vision, ect. and have bio for regeneration capabilities. If I had to pick only one however, it'd be bio because if the robotics are ruined, you out of luck. Biological powers are forever.

 

[nstalaat]

I go for bio-enhancements. At the end of the day I'd take the self sustaining opportunities of biological enhancements over the more potent, yet prone to failure mechanical ones.
Someone said that mech would be better because it ends up better than bio over a long enough time span.
Those jets you used as an example have entire teams to maintain them constantly just to keep up decent performance. Those slow birds you claimed inferior maintain themselves.

 

[The Cheezy One]

both is a bit daft to ask. Who wouldnt want the best of both? personally though, in terms of ME, id go for full mech. hack computers with my finger!

 

[Cazza]

Bio, I would like to feel as human as possible.

 

[helldragonX]

Bio, I like the idea of having enhanced Strength, and mech bits can be broken.

 

[Evilsanta]

Mech. I want my arm mounted minigun NOW! And maybe a rocket launcher to.

 

[Nihilism_Is_Bliss]

Fully mech like in Ghost in the Shell would be suweeet

Mix n' Match with a heavy leaning towards bio.

Biological augmentations are pretty low maintenance (aside from some potentially increasing calorie-intake per day or so forth) and even at the lowest level are self repairing (whilst you need high-end nanomaterial for even minimal repair with synthetic augmentations). Plus they simply do some things more efficiently. For example, you can increase strength in all muscle groups with bio in one go - with cybernetics you'd need to replace them all to accomplish the same, and cyberlimbs would need a ton of anchoring + replacing virtually all of your back muscles and most of your legs to let you lift cars with ease or whatever - just a limb replacement would only give you super-strong grip

Bio can't, of course, do everything. An augmented reality system (such as a HUD) would be pretty invaluable. As would access to various programs and the internet via said AR interface.

But with both I could totally go for the techno-werewolf [http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs70/i/2010/204/6/3/Cray_Narick_Werewolf_by_mariecannabis.jpg] look. Bio-augs for strength and speed, claws and fangs, mech augs for HUD, reinforced bones, etc.....

 

[Katani Koneko]

I'd actually like the Bio mods, because I'd love to jump to school instead of drive. And hell, never to get sick again would be nice.

 

[Ithos]

Bio.

Mercer + lasers = ?


thx for vote and feedback =^_^=
