Well, a powersuit sort of thing would probably have various sensors rather than vision ports, for protection purposes (and frankly, plain ol' human vision is incredibly limited compared to what electronics can potentially do). So essentially the person in the frame HAS no eyes, being fed altered/enhanced sensor information instead of normal visuals, probably through a neural interface instead of micro screens and whatnot.

One of Alad V's quotes is also along the lines of "What an interesting frame you have there, I can't wait to add it to my inventory..."

Implying the frame is actually a seperate object, that you posess.

The whole thing is a tad confused, though. Originally DE was thinking frame == person, but they've since said (or heavily implied anyway) that frames are simply suits that augment their user's abilities, with different people inside. Which of course started such stupidity as "omg then if I switch from Ash to Saryn then I'm getting a gender change!!1".

Events and NPCs like this are entertaining, but they also muddle the water quite a bit as you've pointed out. Maybe DE is doing it on purpose, to try and keep it ambiguous so that players can draw their own conclusions.

So in conclusion..."idk lol". I'm fond of the person-in-a-powersuit idea, myself.
