I came to deal with the whole "face" issue. I usually modded mine anywho, but... Has anyone had origin/notoriety errors? 2/3 Sheps I have have had their origin changed to Earthborn and literally have a blank notoriety on the selection screen. maybe it works in game, but I'm hesitant to go forward. One of my Sheps has not suffered excluding the face reset. I have no idea what the difference is...

P.S. The working Shep had a mod-exclusive face. The others had faces created in ME1. So... I'm not sure what is what. By modding the face did I fix the origin/notoriety haha?

This just proves that nobody in Bioware played ME1 and ME2 with the same Shep. Which is very disappointing.

So I've seen a lot posts in this thread referring to this issue as something we should fix on our own. Lots of other users here seem to think those of us complaining are simply too lazy or stubborn to recreate our beloved characters faces and move on, and that we're being over dramatic. Let me just clarify a few points so that perhaps this issue is given a fair shake among both the user community and the staff at Bioware.

It's simple, the characters we've created and chosen to stick by aren't appearing in ME3 due to a change in the way that face construction and translation work from previous games in the series. Upon attempting to bring our characters in we're prompted with an error message stating we'll need to reconstruct them. While this may seem like a small issue to those who did not spend much time creating a face completely unique to their characters, to many of us it creates a large disconnect that doesn't allow us to enjoy the game in the capacity we, nor Bioware, intended.

Attempts to manually recreate the our characters with the new Character Creator are fruitless for 2 reasons. The first is quite obvious: many of us simply don't posses the memory or skill to manually recreate our Shepards visage closely enough to not feel that large disconnect I mentioned earlier. The second has more to do with the new system by which faces are constructed. The options available to us in the ME3 Character Creator simply don't match up with those from the previous titles.

Some options hold varying degrees of precedent with players as well. I myself am not put off by the lack of an identical hair style in ME3 that my character used in ME2, in fact I find the new ones look pretty good. I'm merely acknowledging this specific part of the issue to further support the understanding that we're not unreasonable, just disappointed. I know many people are angry they can't keep their exact same hair style, and I don't blame them, I just feel that the options presented aren't too shabby if we can't have the originals back.

What all of this together means is that even if we spent the time trying to rebuild our characters mug (as many of us, including myself have), we couldn't match it.

So really the issue isn't our unwillingness to fix it ourselves, or that we think we shouldn't have to (even though we shouldn't). It's that we can't. This issue is forcing us to either wait for a fix, or pick up with a character that, while he or she made the same choices, isn't the same person. And that's just unacceptable.

I give this my approval.
For a game where the purpose is to make you feel like you own the experience, this is the simple truth. It's not acceptable for Bioware to cut corners here.

This is depressing.

worth a shot.

I believe that shoud work, assuming you tweak the things from ME1 that are no longer in ME2 into a CC attribute that actually is in ME2.

Good point.  Has this message popped up on any Xbox/PS3 consoles?

Yes. I've never touched the PC versions. Never did any modding, either. Or... actually, I think I did... didn't keep that file, though. Plus, I haven't changed anything with my characters' appearances since ME1.

That's no my point.

My point was the reason why that message is there, they just kept it for XBOX360 and PS3.


Though reason why you can't import your Shepard's face is a bug, that Bioware should have address long time ago.

[Darkaz7]

I just spent like 20 mins trying to recreate my shep in ME3 and it is impossible. The faces are totally different especially for female shepards. The new female faces are almost cartoon like. Not surprised or disappointed though, who didn't know something like this would happen.

To be fair, it doesn't matter unless the person telling us something can actually work to FIX it.

New update!

We don't have an update yet.

That's the update.

Which is more than we've gotten from the dev team or anyone actually involved in the game. Ha!

I always recommend going to twitter for things like this. Simply because it's part of their public face, whereas these forums are not. Everyone sees how they respond on twitter, not just the dedicated fans who patrol the forums.

I'd recommend twitter for all companies you want to get customer service from in one way or another. How they react on twitter will say a lot about them as a company, so it's a good place to make sure they take notice.

I could ALMOST come to terms (after a long hard sulk and Bioware saying sorry, nothing can be done) of creating my character from scratch... but then to do that AND THEN be confronted by the face you WANT in VI form is just a slap in the face. It's like... marrying your virginal highschool sweetheart after waiting 20 years, then as you come out of the bathroom to seal the deal... half the cast of Jersey shore boys have already violated her. But they claim it's ok because you can just give her a quick scrub down and give her another going over. SHE'LL NEVER BE THE SAME AGAIN!

And for my Renegade Sheps, I took pride in not healing their scars as it became part of their identity and character. Yeah, they were bad asses and looked it. Not having the scars and glowing red eyes? Epic fail.

THIS. OMG THIS. I made my Shephard over best I could but knowing my wanted face/eyes/NOSE will be waiting to confront me has me put off.

Hmm. I honestly don't know which things those are, or if my shep has any of them. Time to do some research... 

Thanks

What I find especially irritating is not only that the old faces will not import correctly, but at times there is no possible way to recreate them. I think it's cool that Bioware added more options for facial customization, but why remove the old ones? I can't even get close to matching my ME3 Shepard's face to my ME1-2 Shepard, even using a digital picture for comparison and working on it for an hour. I'm surprised that this was allowed into the final game when so many (if not most) of ME3's players are importing from ME 1-2. I'm not a disgruntled fanboy: I'm still going to play and enjoy the game. I'm just disappointed I can't do it with the Shepards I know and recognize.

I had a slightly tweaked Me1 face into ME2 (Kelly hair). Face was still reset. Maybe it'd work with a default hair for Me2 though...

Now they are locking threads and directing people here.

I'd like to know that this is at least being looked at, so come the 9th I'll know whether I have to go with a recreation or I'll be able to bring my Shepard across.

Someone did go to Twitter. They said they are "looking into it" or something like that

Well, bad for those with custom male sheps. I have only custom females and default males, so not an issue for me.

Now this is just insulting. The Shepard VI actually has the ME1 imported face, but your actual Shepard doesn't?
What the hell, Bioware?

The custom females actually turn out a lot worse than the custom males. I might be using the default femshep for my female playthrough. They look sort of similar, and I like DeFemShep's hair.

Its insulting that the game tells you to recreate something you cannot actually recreate.
