In a way I'm kind of glad that my Shep's face doesn't look the same as she did back in ME1+2. Even when I was playing ME3 because she didn't look very similar I could somehow keep a distance. I grew attached to her though because they have the same personality....(Paragon) but because her face was different it was hard to restablish the connection.

Edit:
Sorry I edited my post but I don't want to edit my sig. Apologies!

Um, please watch those spoilers, in your post and your sig/tagline. Even a detail-free opinion about the ending could be seen as a spoiler to the folks in this thread, who're not able to begin the game...

Also, you will need two versions of Gibbed's Mass Effect save editor. One for ME2, one for ME3. Links below:
Mass Effect 2 Editor:
http://mod.gib.me/ma...edit_rev25.zip

Mass Effect 3 Editor:
http://svn.gib.me/bu...dit-r43_b55.zip

.

Pheonix, thanks for your effort on this issue. However, the ME3 editor link in somehow disabled. Could you check on that link. I can't download the zip file.

It's dead because the version was updated, just go here: svn.gib.me/builds/masseffect3/ and get the latest file that starts saveedit-***

For anyone who doesn't know yet, this method works for the facial structure 

Wrong.  It may work for some people, but not for everyone.

Don't shoot me but to be fair, your Shep's facial structure IS there. But if you had nose 5, yaml method changes it to 1 which looks like what happened to the nose.  The lighting in the first part of the game is severely harsh but I still have no idea what is up with your Shep's skintone. Mine looked horribly washed out but it was okay after the first part. The biggest things are the eyes, lips and brows. She looks...hagish. The eyebrows suit her about as much as the same ones painted on my cat but looked elegant in ME2. It just makes me sad.



What worries me is that the fix won't really help with things like eye shapes (My Shep's eye shape is there BUT looks vastly different for example.) or the lighting.

I agree with Druscylla on both counts. That femshep looks to have the same facial structure in both pics, even if the nose was swapped to default #1, it's still a similar looking nose from that angle. Can't tell from the right pic if thats the freckle complexion or not. Other than that it's a matter of colors and lighting (and it's definitely a bummer to lose the renegade eyes and/or scars).

I also noticed that the beginning of the game has really weird, washed out color and lighting that fluctuates scene to scene. It looks like it effects red hair the most. It's like 20 different artists were given the same assets and parameters but none of them saw what the other was doing. Maybe to many cooks? People have mentioned this before - that ME2 was vibrant with warm tones, ME1 seemed more consistently in the blue scale for the most part, and ME3 is all over the place, effectively making Shepard a chameleon who looks different from one scene to the next.

Sorry, I think your best bet is tinkering with the CC, which is hardly a proper solution. Some have had more success than others in this though. I'm still going back to mine and tweaking it, and have yet to really get anything that I'm happy with. Like many others I've yet to even start the game that I pre-ordered, nearing a week into release.

I think more people need to be aware of this issue, as many (including my own original character) are suffering from the face import error which simply doesn't import your face at all. But this is a much more far-reaching problem, because even faces created in ME2 and imported to ME3 are coming out wrong. My own ME2 Shepard suffers from this as well. I could deal with the colors being screwed around, but the facial structure is totally wrong and isn't something we are allowed to fine-tune with the CC. As such my character, like yours, has the wrong face and the features are in the wrong proportions. My nose and lips are much too big, and my facial structure is too different to be corrected with the limited options provided in the CC (they've always been limited, of course, but now it's a NEW SET of limited options, which breaks importing).

well i have tried tweaking and ive found a code that i could use if thye dont fix this...but even tweaking can hide the fact that i cant even match the shape of my ME2 face...the structure is all wrong

[ThinkIntegral]

Well that is very disconcerting and only angers me even more. Granted they could be knee deep in other projects and working on this may push them back, but sh!t that's BioWare's damn fault for not doing the job properly or anticipating the disatisfaction of consumers. 

Looks like what others have speculated is partly true.  They don't care because they already made bank on us, and any mark of quality and pride that used to be in their work is degrading more and more.

See that I can understand. It's not a gamebreaker, and I can see why they wouldn't treat it as a massive priority (even though on a personal note, it's killing me not being able to use my Shep) just don't smuggle me a suitcase nuke and tell me that slight uranium leak is all in hand...

Not to call your buddy's integrity into question, but is that information pretty reliable?

Cuz that means we're in for a long wait. Great.

Totally reliable, but I could tell I wasn't the first to ask and decided not to press on the issue. So though it's been outsourced, I have no idea about how long it's been with EA and with how much importance EA are treating it with.
My friend didn't know anything past it being outsourced. I've just got home and about to see if i'm one of the lucky few who can sneak one of my Sheps through until the patch is fixed. Pretty please... fix this as soon as!

Not everyone is as lucky as you. Many of us have (multiple) faces that use features that are no longer available in ME 3. Just how far off the ME 3 Shepard is depends on what features have been removed from the feature set used to create your particular custom Shepard.

Not exactly a stock ME 2 face. I see you've modded the eyes at the very least. Those wouldn't carry over anyway.

So you're saying the only real differences you see between those two is the skin/hair colors? (Disregarding the lighting of course, that's irrelevant.)

I guess there's nothing I can tell you then, but other people have seen the exact same thing I see.

Yup definitely not a top priority guys. You guys made the money, that's the most important thing. I heard this affects all users who played the same character from ME1-ME2. Ignoring the people who allowed you to make Mass Effect 2 is definitely not a top concern. Well that is if you're a hack. Not identifying any site personel personally as I wouldn't want to hurt their apparently fragile feelings (see the page long site warning at the top of the page). I am just saying that if someone were a hack, they would sit back and count their money while the very people who made the franchise a success wonder why they paid 50+ bucks for an unusable product.

I wonder if they outsorce their game developer forum comments too. That would explain why they failed to mention this when the issue was brought to their attention during the demo. I personally think you need to apologize for that simple fact. If you were too lazy to fix it then please tell me so I can get my money back for the incompetance.

No wonder the people who began this company left a while ago.

Guys, can I please get some help? I'm trying to understand this and do it 

but when I get to the Mass Effect tools and go to browse and get the YAML file, when I press "Upload YAML file", nothing happens. I would really appreciate any help with this because I'm wanting to import my Shepard into Mass Effect 3 like crazy and I'm stuck on this step.(It's step 7. I get the file and press "Upload YAML file" and it doesn't do anything)

Try another Browser, or try another name just in case, you can put numbers too

I managed to upload a yaml file using firefox

Please do not directly quote this, to save space on the page.

The Face Effect
What does this method do? It provides a lengthy movement of data using Gibbed's Mass Effect editors to provide a closer approximation of your original Shepard than the YAML method. I've only done this with femShep, but I'm sure the process can be used with manShep....

If anyone needs an explanation of what they're doing or some help, just let me know.

Pheonix - could you start putting your info into either or both blog entries in your profile and/or the ME3 Gibbed thread? It's hard to dig through this ever expanding thread to follow your progress and information (of course continue to update here though!). Pretty please?

Chug the facial structure looks the same to me. You just need to change the colors for hair, iris, brows and lips. I know you won't be able to get the same exact colors in ME3 (unless you use Gibbed and copy values from ME2 to ME3), but all the facial dimensions and  features look correct imo.

KunamiMata wrote...

Here is basically what I did.

1. Start a brand new Mass Effect 2 save file with your Mass Effect imported Shepard. It has to be brand new, because you're going to need to move, not copy it, to a USB flash drive that is formatted to work on your 360. You don't want to do this with your finished game save, so make sure it's a new one (i.e. right when you wake up from your coma, save and quit).

2. Go to Settings in your dashboard, System, Storage, Hard Drive and find your Mass Effect 2 save (not "Mass Effect 2 Importer"). Inside, you should find files for all your DLC and each of your careers. They will all be named after your Shepards and dated. Move the career you just created to your USB flash drive (don't copy, because the Xbox won't allow it).

3. Download and install this program on your PC (it's best to have this version): hotfile.com/dl/143431599/02eaea8/Modio_3.zip.html

4. Plug your USB flash drive into your PC, and using Modio, select Open from a device. Click the device you see. Mass Effect 2 should pop up in that list. Select it, then select your Shepard's save file. When the following window pops up, click the File Contents tab at the top. You should see several .xbsav extensions. Right click one of them and extract them all to your desktop (or where ever you prefer).

5. Go to this website and register on it: legion.cal24.pl/me2/

6. Once you've registered at that site and logged in, click the My saves tab at the top of the page. The specific save file that you extracted to your desktop (or where ever) that you're going to want to upload here should be named Save_0001.xbsav. Go ahead and upload that save on this site.

7. You should now have one save listed at the top of that page with a string of options following it. The second to last option on that row is Morph head. Click that option.

8. Now new options show up. You want to click Export YAML. It should download a file to your computer called morphhead.yaml. Check this file in Notepad to make sure it's all in code that you can read (only read, not necessarily understand), otherwise the file is mucked up and you have to try this step again.

9. Once you have a decent YAML file to work with, upload it in one of two places, depending on the sex of your Commander Shepard -

Female Shepards will upload here: masseffecttools.99k.org/femshep_upload.php

Male Shepards will upload here: masseffecttools.99k.org/maleshep_upload.php

Remember to add your Shepard's name, because it's how you recover the face template code.

10. Lastly, you're going to want to get your Shepard's code, again in one of two places depending on the sex -

Female Shepards codes are here: masseffecttools.99k.org/femshep_code.php

Male Shepards codes are here: masseffecttools.99k.org/maleshep_code.php

All you need to do now is enter the name you typed when you uploaded your YAML file, and bam, instant Shepard readout and code for your Shepard. There will be a little tweaking required (as pointed out by the ***** asterisks), but it shouldn't be anywhere near as bad as trying to recreate your Shepard from scratch. It'll generally be little things like hairstyle, makeup color, or eye color. You know, the easy things to remember and fix. Everything without the ***** next to them should be correct, though.

And that's pretty much how I got my Shepard back without waiting for any sort of patch. You just enter that code you get at the bottom of that page into your custom character creation back on your 360 copy of Mass Effect 3 and do the necessary tweaking and you're done.

I agree.  It may be the same in the sense that it's the ME3 version of that ME2 structure.  So is mine.  But as far as actually being the same...no.  That's the problem.

Well I see the same structures there, although the top of her head squashed out a little. Have you played her with just the color changes past the first section of the game?

I saw the new version you made in the pics a few pages back, and I feel like you changed her chin and jaw in such a way that she looks even more different than the ME2 version. Just telling you what I see

Maybe I'm simply one of the lucky ones, and it might be hard to tell from these pictures, but here's a comparison for one of my Sheps:

ME2 Squad screen:


ME3 CC (had to fix eye and maybe hair colors):


(I need to get some better ME2 screen shots)
Her face came through for me from what I can see. What do you think?
