Mind linking us to your tweet to them? And their response, really. It'd be a nice addition to the OP.


This is the tweet:
https://twitter.com/...070559434244097 

I doubt whoever is running that account is important enough to know anything though tbh.


I believe Chris Priestly runs the @masseffect account, but I'm not entirely sure.

At least they're willing to give a response there. Remember Deception? (of course you do) BW shut up completely, even on Twitter. At least we're getting something, rather than nothing. There's some hope.

I lol'd.

Do we have more hair options in the final game? Compared to the demo?

@masseffect just tweeted me saying 'we're looking into this concern' which I assume is code for 'we don't know the best way to spin this yet', but hopefully someone official will actually give a response at some point.


I'd love it if they posted that HERE rather than on twitter.

Heh, of course I do, I led the damn resistance.

Honestly though- This is worse than what happened with Deception.

Deception was a novel. The novels will always be worth less than the games, and if anyone actually wasted money on it, it was frivolous compared to the $60 to $100 people spent on Mass Effect 3 who now realize they can't even carry over the looks of their characters.

Its Mass 2's lack of a helmet toggle all over again, only a million times worse.


Yeah, Deception was bad - but this is just a blatant slap in the face.

Added the tweet from the official ME twitter to the OP.

I'll be playing ME2 for the next few hours (Last playthrough before ME3 comes out.. and my Shep has a custom face. FFfFUUUUU-), so if anything crazy important stuff happens, send me a PM.

TBH I don't care about a book. I just want my shepard. It's why I like this series so much. For a game prelegated on the fact of importing and keeping a character throughout 3 games, this is a serious issue.

I always used to think Bioware were good with their fans. Always talking on the forum, giving insight, updates on patches, DLC. What happened?


That's the DA team.

I started ME3 with my import and my shepard's face looks fine, no issues. Are you sure the Day 1 patch didn't fix the problem?


Is it a face imported from ME1? 


It's a face created in ME1, then imported to 2, and then imported again to 3.

This is my canon Mario Shepard.
Even though on first look they loo quite different, but in different lighting they look almost completely identical.

My Renegon Bruce Shepard.
Same story with Mario, diffrent lighthing and almost completely identical.
Plus, needs Renegade scars.

My only Paragon Tom Shepard.

With him, you can see diffrences. Hair is changed in ME3 so I have to deal with it while color of his beard and eybrows is far more darker and visible then in ME2. I don't like that much, since in ME1 and ME2 I really like his subtle beard.


That's from them so far.
Need to recreate my 2 FemShep's as well.
Though I should add 1 more, since I only recreated her in ME2 but not in ME3 Demo.

"Mass Effect 3 cannot successfully determine the face code used
by this imported save game. Please update your character's
appearance."
Those words effectively ruined the game for me.
The game itself is good so far, I've played through a few levels and
am happy with what has been updated, but I can't connect in the same
way as I did in ME 1 and 2. My custom Shepard was the one I wanted to
see completing this story, not one that's close. I expected some
updating but not an entirely new one. It also sucks to be asked to
recreate one after having already put in time in both of the previous
games; I wanted to jump into the story, not spend time editing a
face. I really hope you guys at Bioware can patch this.

I spent thousands of hours with my Shepard, I'll be damned if they tell me I can't spend more time with him.

Still don't get why people are blowing this thing out of proportions. When it was released, Skyrim had more bugs than a 10$ prostitute, You even had to do a workaroud with some tools to COMPLETE THE FRIKKING MAIN CAMPAIGN. And that didn't prevented the game for being ABSURDLY FUN. To this day, nearly all the bugs have been fixed either by official patches, or fan-made patches. :(

Regardless of its MANY MANY MANY MANY MANY bugs, the point is that Skyrim is FUN. Quite posibly the BEST game of 2011 without a doubt. And a classic that will be remembered for AGES to come.

Now we got ME3, which as far as we know has 1 very VERY small bug that we can work around without much problem, I mean just look at this:

ME1

ME2
http://jamiecotc.com...aime/Jaime2.jpg
ME3
http://jamiecotc.com...e/Jaime_ME3.jpg

and yet some people are all like "BIOWARE SUCKS, I'M CANCELING PRE-ORDER"

"BIOWARE SUCKS, I'M NEVER BUYING THEIR GAMES AGAIN"

"THIS IS ALL EA'S FAULT, THOSE GREEDY BASTARDS"

/sighs....... gamers need to grow some damn balls. I remember the days when if a game was released bugged, it REMAINED bugged, forever. No official patches, no fan patches due to lack of internet, games were either good, or were not. If you wanted a bug fix you had to BUY THE GAME AGAIN in the future updated releases.

Now we got gaming companies that release games, and if the game is bugged, they release fix patches FOR FREE, so you can enjoy the game. And yet people whine. Come on kids, this IS NOT a game-breaking issue. Issues I'd have a problem with would be variable desicions from ME1 not importing correctly (Like Conrad Verner on ME2) or game crashing every 5 seconds, or voice-clips not working, or quests not triggering.

But having to spend a few extra minutes recreating your face is REALLY such a big deal? Skyrim had WAY WORST problems than that on release. Didn't stopped it from becoming the best friking game of this decade.

seriously, GET THE BROOMSTICK OUT OF YOUR BUTTS and enjoy the damn game.<_<


Talk about being a fanboy. So we should just accept this bull****? I don't think so.

I really hope this is fixed by the time the game is released in the UK on Friday, although I really doubt it at this point. My perfect character, Peter I took through ME1 and to ME2 aswell without changing his appearance so I'm really quite worried. At this point I'm trying to make something in the demo CC but so far I can't get anything exact and some of the colours for hair and eye colour don't exist anymore, so naturally I'm quite annoyed about this.

It's not about being a fanboy. He makes a good point. We really are gaming in a great generation where developers do try to accomodate us nowadays because of the advance in technology. We have concerns that need to be voiced but it wouldn't hurt to lighten up just a little bit.

I haven't logged into this account since ME2's release but this issue has got to me.

That's all well and good for you... kudos. But you're on a thread... in the minority where people are upset. You're entitled to your opinion as are we. We've invested time into our Shepards and many of us have an emotional attachment to them on a personal level. It's not about the time we have to spend re-making our Sheps. If there was a button you could press, and be directed to the longest most tedious half an hour planet scanning bonus game that would get us our original Shepard back, most of us here would do it. But read through the thread, some of us here are so invested, we're holding off playing the game, just hoping that it gets fixed. Ok, you're not that invested in your character... but many of the rest of us are.

Details such as making your Shep look like the character you've created over two games, like yourself or a loved one, but then knowing that that Shepard is not the exact same one creates a disconnect that will stay throughout the experience. ESPECIALLY for those who went renegade in ME 2 and I sincerely hope the scars will carry through, or there will be hell to pay....

You talk of the technical side, which is something totally different to what we're concerned about. Of course Skyrim had it worse. But that doesn't make this right. Skyrim was broken on a technical standpoint... in many peoples cases, gamebreaking. This isn't a gamebreaking issue, but ME's USP for many is carrying Shep through your games... with a new face, many of us feel like we're just another of the newcomers. Dramatic, yes. We still get our game saves. But we've been spoilt by a great series, so don't pee in my cereal and call it cornflakes lol

I too remember when games with game killers were released and stayed that way. The difference between these times and them is, there is no way this went unnoticed. In those days those games were held back until done. In these days it's an excuse to release the unfinished. If you're going to do that to get it out early, fair enough. but customer feedback is important. Just... talk. We're not expecting a day 1 patch. But just to say; "We're aware of the problem and <this is our current approach to the situation>" is hardly too much to ask. Must be nice to be as laid back as you, but when you're the minority, can you not consider that you are underreacting... rather than us overreacting? Just a thought.

Nothing in my gaming life has bettered seeing my Shep return in ME2. Even though my first attempt is ugly as hell. I've grown to love the little monkey.
