 You see the devs might have just seen it as some scar, but for me it was so much more. It's what defined my Shepard; it was my character trademark, it said hey I survive Elysium and I got the scar to prove. It was a code to protect the innocent the best way. Going into ME2 and listening to what TIM said about building my character just as he was before I thought cool I get to keep my scar. As soon as the character creation screen came up I was excite to see how the scars looked with new graphics; hell to see if they had any new scars. I came up a little disappointed and felt kind of sad about it. All I can say was where'd the scars go, TIM said he wanted nothing changed. I was confused,let down and her. While I didn't let that ruin the game for me still I was  angry about it.

Well Shepard did wake up prematurely. Maybe after the surgical scars healed Miranda would have taken a knife to Shepard's face...

[Sleepicub09]

I kinda forgot about that, but it still angered me.

[Shotokanguy]

Yeah, silly to assume that in the process of reconstructing his face, they'd try to give him the same scar.



You really just thought it looked cool, having a scar that says "I survived Elysium" doesn't say anything about who your Shepard is. Your actions in the game do that better.

[Sleepicub09]

I know what you mean @ Shotokan. I just feel like the scar was apart of my shep's story and them removing the scar erased a little part of my shep's story.

[IrishSpectre257]

I thought about it like this: What if an intimidating Shepard relied somewhat on his scar? It's entirely possible that a giant scar on his face motivated him to come across that way when he felt it was necessary.



Shepard being the way he was before he died includes his scar, if only just to be sure.

[Sabariel]

Considering Shepard probably looked like a shriveled, blackened space raisin when they brought her/him in I'm not surprised that they looked different once re-constructed. Maybe they had to grow Shep some new skin. Tasty.

That's what I mean. The scar for my character was reminder of what happened on Elysium and what urged him to protect who he can no matter what; even if that meant risking his own life.

 Well OP does have a point, the various backgrounds for Shepard in ME2 make practically no difference to the game at all. Just the news announcements are different. So Bioware did kind of take something away from OP's Shepard, in a manner of speaking.

I was sad to lose my Shepard's scar as well. (Despite being artificial, i.e. left by a surgeon's knife and not Akuze's events per se, it reminded me - and her - about that time. And I just loved how it looked like.)

Think of it this way: sometimes the absence of scars tells more of a story than their presence.

Yeah I don’t even know why they took it away? I guess it was because shep got rehealed in such and extensive way but those deep scars did a unique thing in character creation. I liked how you could choose to or to not have them. It made perfect sense for my sole survivor fshep to have a gouge across her face it visually showed she went through hell I felt like she lost so much when it was gone like that part of her life never existed I guess now that we’ve gone through ME2 I hope the scars come back for ME3 and some new ones too so we can decide what battle scars Shep received from the Suicide Mission.

[Elvis_Mazur]

I actually find the fact that Miranda decided to not recreate the scar to be realistic. In my point of view, it is nothing more than an error on the skin, and, although it may have some sentimental value, Miranda couldn't know anything about that, since it is too personal for her too know. Plus, I think she doubted it had any influence in Shepard's personality.



But, it is just me.

[Jibbed34]

My ME1 Shepard had the same scars as me, a little notch on the lip and one through the left eyebrow. Most wouldn't think it adds much to the experience, but it certainly did for me.

Really though... in the grand scheme of things, who's arsed?

It was kinda lame. My SHep also sported a scar from the Blitz and I wasn't keen on losing. It completed my Shep's face. I got used to it though.

[kill_switch_423]

While my ME1 Shep's scar is from Akuze, his scars in ME2 remind him of, y'know, that time he died.  Coming back to life has a greater sentimental value than the previous.

Also, in the case of Akuze, my Shepard believes that they got rid of the scars in an effort to make him 'forget' that Cerberus caused it in the first place.

My Femshep (Colonist/Survivor) had minor scarring at her one eyebrow, but it was gone in ME2. That wasn't too bad, but man BW changing my hair irked me a little for sure.

Better? 

[JKoopman]

My Renegade Shep's scar made his whole face. Heck, the scar alone was what made me want to create a Renegade Shep. I looked like a badass with it.



The fact that it got removed in ME2 pissed me off, yeah. And the "scar" that it gets replaced with was so hideous I ended up removing it anyway. Pity.

I have at least four scars on my right arm from when I was a kid.  I used to rush under the bed playing hide and seek and would often get cuts from the metal bed frames.  I also have a scar on my right knee from jumping up a flight of stone steps when I went to my grandfather's house in Nigeria.  I was wearing shoes instead of sneakers because someone at the airport cut open my suitcase and took them leaving me with shoes.  I remember the infection I got from an untreated wound on the back of my ankle that was overlooked by everyone including me.  I remember how that infection made it difficult for me to walk when I came back to the States and I had to right the luggage cart until I was able to get into the car and come home.  I was 7.

Fact of the matter is while it's not written in your DNA it's a tag, indicator, label, etcetera that points to a moment in your life.  It's a reminder that whatever caused that scar is real.  It happened (as the above telling of my scars shows).  If someone were to roleplay their Shepard out I would imagine them looking for a scar (if there was one) because it's a kind of walking trophy or the thing that let's you know that you are you.  No medal or picture will ever remind you that you are survivor more than that scar will.

[AntiChri5]

I really miss my ME 1 scar.

[Phategod1]

I was more concerned that Cerberus put a bomb in my Shepard. I don't trust them. after what they did to Kohoku, and what they did on Akuze, And also trying to breed Rachni. sorry for the rant.

Maybe that had to regrow allot of sheps tissue when resurrecting him/her hence no scar. Would make no sense for them to put the scar back in. Scars are not coded for in your DNA.
Eh...I don’t know you could spin it and make the loss of the scar a big thing to your Shep so instead of it erasing part of the story its sort of adds too it. It would be traumatic enough to learn you had been dead for 2 years. What if you also saw yourself in a mirror and realised you didn’t even look the same? That would be pretty unnerving. Really make it hit home that you actually died.
