Ugh really doubting how much BioWare actually cares about its loyal fans.


Because you can't import a face into the game? If you couldn't import at all, then that would be a big problem. Not being able to import a face (if that is actually what happens with every copy and isn't an isolated thing), isn't a big deal at all since it's pretty easy to just recreate it.


Not exactly. Since they removed my damn hair.


So, change the hair.


Why not just default to Sheploo and play as "that guy you play in that game."

The import feature was a promised part of the game features, it worked seamlessly in ME2, the fact that its broken in ME3 and no one happened to notice it til now is pathetically inept.

Thing is we shouldn't have to. I love this game but this was a feature promised from the begininng and now is ignored...:sick:


It was never promised that the hair would stay the same. Everything you've done in the games has carried over, you just need to remake the face if you kept everything the same in Mass Effect 1. I understand people being annoyed but the whole "BIOWARE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT LOYAL FANS" nonsense is ridiculous.


Keep defending them to death! Dragon Age II was the best game ever right?

Never played either of the Dragon Age games.

There won't be an official post - that would be picked up by gaming sites and would be news and could impact sales.

Only a few more hours of stonewalling are required at this point.


Well, it's on GameStar at least:

http://www.gamestar....51,2565430.html

headline: Mass Effect 3 - Import of Mass-Effect-1-faces officialy not possible.

They link to this very thread.


I wrote a news at the German page GamersGlobal this night:

I haven't played the game so I have no idea if all of this is actually true for everyone or not, but even if it is, it's still not a big deal. Maybe it's just my personality to not get caught up with things like this but to endlessly whine about this is crazy to me. If it doesn't work, make a similar-looking character and move on, or don't buy the game.

So why are you hear. We are trying to convey our issue with Bioware. You haven't  even played ME2 so your comment is null.

Ok, how hard could it possibly be to include something as simple and basic as importing your Shepard as he always looked? It worked perfectly in ME2, how the hell could they screw it up? Honestly that's pretty pathetic.

The game is already bought, two copies to be exact, plus my wifes DDE making three.

I get caught up in this because this was MY Shepard. Not Sheploo. Recreating the face...sure I can do that but its not going to be perfect, its going to have to have a different hairstyle and all of that will be because I had no choice in the matter because someone at BioWare QA didn't do their job.

My Shepard is five years old, trying to rebuild it to perfect exactitude without an immense amount of NEEDLESS and complex methods of getting slider values out of a Mass Effect 2 save simply takes up time I would be playing the game with had this feature not been pressed to a goddamn CD in a broken state.

Similar is possible, but its still going to be like trying to deal with the third movie of a triology where they replaced the leading actor with a look-alike understudy. It is going to put a small fracture in my immersive continuity, which takes away from the overall experience of spending the last five years playing this game.

It's such an afront to the basic premise of the series...

I'm trying to find a good analogy, but this is sort of unprecedented.

To save on money probably.

But we WILL be able to manually remake our Shepard, right, with the workaround that gets you the face code to the point you just need to change eye color and hair stuff ,rgiht?

You ordered a three course meal at a resturant (starter, main, desert). You get your desert and it comes out without any custard on it and when you ask the chef for some he just shrugs and walks away. It still tastes like apple pie, it's still nice apple pie, but something still feels missing without it. 

Yeah I suck at analogies.

ME1 Shepard's don't have a face code. You'd have to build a brand new Shepard in the demo or in ME2 itself, but even then I did an experiment last night with that and ME2 face codes don't translate with complete exactitude either.

I don't know where you got that from. I was saying that I haven't played Mass Effect 3.

Well, if my FemShep doesn't import right, looks like I'll be forced to play as my male Shep first. Shame, cause I was really looking forward to doing my first playthrough with her. :\\

First of all, this isn't monumental. Second of all, I guess the "confirmed by developer" part is a lie?

Here is something interesting to watch for today though:

Does the IGN review mention this?

On the one hand, if they say they didn't know than it looks like an incomplete review.
If they do know and don't report it than the review is definitely not unbiased.
There will be tremendous pressure from EA not to mention this.

I'm interested to see who actually holds the power when these things collide.

What will they do?

They have the PS3 version, and most likley will blame it on Bioware saying that Bioware told them that all versions were the same...so that they didn't look that extensively at the PC and 360 version. Basically crappy journalism. 

Then they'll write an article detailing about all the misteps that Bioware has done since DAII.

There IS a long, complicated process that involves the gibbed save editor and a LOT of math that can beat a facecode out of an ME1 import, but it is an absolutely needless step that shouldn't be in the game

It is monumental - one of the selling points of the series is the ability to import your own personal Shepard, and they don't have that feature in the final game, it's freaking huge. And they've only confirmed it with cloud saves, they haven't offered any sort of explanation or anything thus far.
