this is just a face/head skin texture, it should be possible to just move the whole properly over to ME3 without a problem, I recently experimented with Skyrim body and face mods, and it isn't as hard as one thinks at first, it should really be possible to have Bioware get the transfer done right.

Because working for 15 minutes per character across 30 characters adds up to a lot of wasted time, for a feature that was the MAIN SELLING POINT of the entire Shabla series!

Mind your shab'ikase language, mando.

Shh..the aruetisse will find out!

OK. In about 15 minutes I've got the ME2 face code for my sheppard. If you have imported directly from ME1 and don't have any, simply start a new game importing from ME1 but use the option to change his/ her face. There you will find the code at the lower zone of the screen.

Then take the code and use it in ME3 demo to see if it looks good. That's all. Nothing to worry about. This is the most histerical forum that I've ever seen :-P

Sorry, but you're wrong. Importing a ME1 character into ME2 doesn't give you a face code. You only get a facecode if you create a character from scratch in ME2.

The hoops you have to jump through in roder to extract your facecode from an ME1 Shep is much more involved. It took me over an hour.

Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeer... no, it's not that difficult. You can take an option to edit the face and you see your ME1 face in the editor ready to be changed (if you want it) and the face code below. You don't have to rebuid it at all.

Try it for yourself. I've done it right now.

No, you're wrong again. What's in the game are 3 options as soon as you start the Lazarus Project:

"Accept imported face" - when you accept imported you just carry it without any option to change anything about it. Which we should be able to do in ME3. Accoding to this thread, we're not.
"Default Shepard"
"Customize Shepard" - which we can create one new custom from scratch.

Take Customize Shepard option: it appears your ME1 face ready to be edited. I will try it again only to be sure

That doesn't work for me. 

Xbox player here. When I choose to customize my face, it resets EVERYTHING and turns my shep into the first preset for editing. 

Sorry mate but your method doesn't work, at least not for me.

I know people are saying it's easy to get the facecode and can't understand all the anger. For me, one, I drive a semi. When I get home Tuesday I'd like to put ME3 in, import my character, and jump right in. Not spend an hour creating a character I've had made for 5 years. Two, not everyone has a usb to do what that link describes.

We were told from the beginning of the trilogy we would be able to take OUR character through the entire trilogy. Now we're learning that isn't true. Really, this problem us absolutely inexcusable.

Before I freak out, I am going to wait and see if the ME3 version of gibbed can accept facemorphs from the ME2 version of gibbed.

I really hope so.

default face ftw, i've always used the default male face for 30 some chars, my females are a little changed (make-up etc to look hot,but default female looks good, so i'll turn them all into her)

[CompositeGNR]

I too have been optimistic about the game, thinking haters gonna hate, but upon discovering this I just feel... exhausted. I thought Bioware was different, that they, unlike several other game companies I dare not mention. But now every time I am forced to do the workaround mentioned above, I will be reminded of the laziness of a developer, or the push to release, or whatever unmentionable horror caused this to happen, and I shall rage.

[JRCHOharry]

Well I have a backup face code if the import botches up, which seems most likely. It's not perfect but it was the closest I could get to the original face :/

o.O

Well, good for you, as for me, I always despised how the default male and female Shepards looked like (the new FemShep is a different matter that one looks great), ofc it is true majority of custom ones shown are terrible too, or look like some actor. I played around with the designs until I got something realistic, even through some say funny, I don't wan't to lose the only face I was able to go with since ME1.

here it is btw

OK, I have to apologize. I tried again and you're right. I've done it too fast and the random face from ME 2was incredible similar to my sheppard, but isn't the same. Sorry, my mistake

Ok if this is true this may be the straw that break my back here.... I've been patient. I have been unhappy about quite a few things coming into ME3, but it has always been offset by something.

Patience, lack of evidence, a new feature that balance's this....

But not being able to import our custom shep's appearance? If they had told us ahead of time I would have been mad, but that is something I can understand once explained and given time to process.

But not bothering to tell us? That would have been a great surprise at release. The character I carefully spent time on creating, a character I can't recreate despite attempts to do so... My first shep will not be able to come into ME3?

I feel I am being dramatic here but I suddenly feel very tired and very jaded.

You're not alone dude. I've been trying to stay optimistic for quite some time now, but BW really isn't making that easy.

I agree,  this feature to me  goes right  to the core of what  Mass Effect is/was.  It's almost unbelievable to me that an ME1 face won't import - that after all was the whole selling point of the series.  But for the devs to know this and not say anything, to ignore the thread and the tweets is dishonesty at the level of politicians and defence lawyers.

Definitely the straw that breaks the camel's back for me

This is ridiculous.

[jbg927]

wow, this is pathetic. If my me1 femshep will not transfer to me3, that is game breaking. Maybe we should tweet to ign and other game sites to get them to pick up on this.

The bolded part is what bugs me, it's what 3 days away and still nothing from Devs?  This is a huge issue.  

[RyuGuitarFreak]

If this is really true, the Mass Effect trilogy already fails in their design with it. Alright, we can import all choices, but our character will look inevitably different (we know the face code import is never 100%) in the third game no matter what. It's ridiculous that this was possible in ME2 and it's not on ME3 It's a failure.

If this is true ME3 will never be what it should and never a 10/10 for me. It's BS. It already stands lower than ME2.

[camcon2100]

This is really getting irritating ...Common Bioware i'd be more pissed if you dont give an answer than if you did and said we can't import our faces....

[spirosz]

The thing is too, I'm very excited for the game, everything see's perfect for me, TILL this little problem... I'm going to try that guide in the OP later and hopefully by Tuesday this issue is resolved, which shouldn't be an issue IMO. I understand little bugs that make the game freeze or weapon clipping, some bull**** like that, but not being able to play OUR Shepard is something that should of not been overlooked. At least answer us, you know. It's not we're disrespecting any dev's or anything, we just want an answer to a big concern for many of us.

[CompositeGNR]

ANYONE that works at Bioware, can you please give us an answer, please.

[Hillbillyhat]

Eh I only have one ME1 character imported into ME2 that didn't get changed a bit by me. Its a little upsetting but then again what made my character was those decisions that was made by my Shepard.

[spirosz]

Yeah, I basically spent a while going through a ton of Shepard till I found the right one and what I did was basically I got a code from ME2 and did the backwards math and remade him in ME1. So this led me to not changing anything during the import into ME2, which leads to no code, correct? Well now I'm **** out of luck because now that I made that decision, I can't even import into ME3... and he's my Main/Canon as well.

Well, a lot of my Shepards have no reason to be on Earth at the start of the game and wouldn't react like the auto-dialogue forces them to do, so it seems only appropriate they don't look like the characters I once played anymore as well...
