it's a shame all this mix of anger and outrage for me has sadly soured the experience of the game - I've dipped in about 3 hours now with a NewShep that has my personality and choices but is a 2.0 of my face that I've grown fond of.. and I keep stopping myself because I still feel...wrong somehow.
I'm trying to really get into the spectacle but there's a lot of bitterness there.

Is anyone aware of an option in Gibbed that will let you adjust the height of the ROOT of the nose?

It seems to me that for femsheps, the base of the nose is lower in ME3 (i.e. the forehead is larger), which leads to the eyes also being lower, which causes the whole face to feel slightly "off".

If not then this needs to be added, because I think this plays a major role in ME3 femsheps feeling "doll-like" or "childish".
Also, please add the old version of Ashleys eyes back as an additional option. All femsheps who happened to use those eyes are now experiencing inexplicable "babe-e-fication", do to the eyes being larger.

Oh, and eye shadow. ME2 femshep had a LOT more black around the eyelashes. Need that back, it COMPLETELY changes the effect of the eyes.

TBH i cant see how anyone can make a canon run on their first go...you dont know what choices to make etc.

So you all should be making 'test' runs first...so all those not playing yet are being silly

I always make two full play throughs with my MAIN character, I have done for both Mass Effect 1 & 2 so far, and it's served me well. So I believe my standoffishness is well justified.

this shows how badly they miscalculated the release, they managed to annoy and alienate exactly the core of the gamers upon whom any developer depends for its long term viability

take DLC - I would not buy any from them anymore until this issue is completely fixed nor would I suggest anyone buying this ganme.

Well I think there's a lot of different playstyles, and they're all okay.

For me the first playthrough is special: it's the most immersive, the story most powerful, and I'm not trying to steer the mechanics because I don't know the outcomes yet. I just immerse and play. For me, that's the 'canon run': even if I struggle with a surprise outcome, well that's the RP part. If I do play through again, it will be with a very different character or it will be months or years later. For me, the first playthrough has to be with the character I began in ME and continued in ME2, otherwise there's really no point.

Exactly.  The first time through is the most memorable and the most real.

But yeah, maybe I am silly for not playing a game where all I do is cringe at the impostor who's taken the place of the main character.  I also don't sleep on rocks or drink laundry water.  Silly, silly me.

[Chugster]

well all i know is that my first ME2 run ended up deleted as i made mistakes and im sure my first ME3 run will end up the same...so it doesnt really matter that im using the default femshep

right so its silly to not want to sacrafice our enjoyment of the game just because we might play through it again. No this is a mssive issue quite frankly if bioware had said this wasnt functioning at release i would not have purchased the game at release. As it sstands ive simply blown 30£ on a non functioning product.  

Besisdes if what ive heard of the ending is true im not sure i will give it multiple play throughs

One silly question: does someone who had the red scars on ME 2 managed to retain them on ME 3? The face of my broshep couldn't be imported directly (xbox 360), so I had to recreate him, and even though maybe I'm somewhat close, without the scars I don't feel it like my shep of ME 2.

This could apply even to the default broshep, does the scars actually be carried over from ME 2 to 3?

QFT!

For me my first playthrough is my main. This is where the story surprises me and all choices are based on no knowing the outcome. Steering the mechanics in you favour defeats the object on this game till subsequent playthroughs.

This is why I am holding off on playing as ME1 and 2 were choices made from my heart and not swayed by right or wrong at the time.

I am sure ME3 will be fantastic....Just would like MY bloody Shepard and a win capable ending!

How sad is this: I just had a dream last night that I was in Bioware for an unrelated reason, and I decided to ask them when the damn patch would come out. I woke up before I got an answer. FML.

[RobbieNewton1]

My choices were imported not bad, though not a face, so I just experimented. I was wondeirng Bioware, with this face import issue in mind, will part of the patch involve being able to modify the face on the Normandy? I started the game and am fine with my new face, but it would be pretty neat if that feature was introduced and allowed us to import a face

[Beanstalk]

It seems like some of the face variables in the ME2 version of gibbed do not exist in the ME3 version. Anyone know if this is because they no longer exist in the engine, or does it simply reflect the fact that ME3 gibbed is still a work-in-progress?

So I emailed customer services as I said a few pages back, they linked me to the previously discovered articles where it says some faces aren't supported. But most disheartening is the main contents of the email.
"Hello Michael,

Thank you for contacting Electronic Arts Customer Support regarding Mass Effect 3.
I am sorry to hear that you are experiencing those problems with your EA game.

I am sending you an attachment about importing save games to Mass Effect 3.
Unfortunately, transferring the facial features of your character is not supported.

We apologise for any inconveniences caused.

Should you have further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us again."

Two points, first my name isn't Michael but apparently EA thought I was. Most importantly there is a snippet written in there you may have noticed. Namely "TRANSFERRING THE FACIAL FEATURES OF YOUR CHARACTER IS NOT SUPPORTED"

We are screwed. Just accept a fakeshep or give up, from what I can tell anyway (unless you ate smart like Phoenix - I'm not though...)

I didn't mean for any figure to be taken literally, or my post to be deconstructed and debated at face value - all I was saying, in extremely broad terms, is that even if 10% of the player base was in uproar, which it isn't, there still wouldn't be a rush to fix it, because the other 90% (not exact figures) would be fine with it.

If people can't or won't find fixes on their own and wait for a patch, that's fine - but there *are* fixes out there. It should be irrelevant for those that call themselves "loyal fans" to have to put in 5 minutes of effort to sort the problem out.

Whoa.  Yeah, this would be the first time I've seen an official acknowledgment that it's not possible to get your Shep's face from previous games in some cases.  (Unless there was something earlier I missed.)

Also, what's this "previously discovered articles where it says some faces aren't supported"? Could you post the link they gave you for that?

You do that, you get a gazillion people clamoring for the patch to be released right now, QA be damned. And let's not even talk about the backlash of saying "almost done", and then discovering a "back to the drawing board" level bug during testing...

In case you haven't noticed - gazillion people on more than 150 pages are already clamoring for the patch to be released right now. BioWare had 2 years to make things right. It's pretty clear they don't know what they're doing.

This does sound awefully final. But why then does this thread even exist, and furthermore, why did a Bioware Dev even set foot in here to saying they were doing something about it?

Perhaps, because you were dealing with EA they were trying to fob you off with the quickest answer they could give. But I conceed, this is seemingly not open for debate.

[Rocky4455]

What I might do is just start the game and import my choices and customize the face to my liking, because if you think about it by the time you have done a run though of the game and done everything, there probably will be a patch done, so you can import and use your ME 1 & 2 face for the second play though. Also people have been saying I wont get used to the new face just give it time, its a lot like Doctor Who, his face changes/actor changes and at first you are like I don't like this new guy but after a while you get used to it

There are fixes that may work in some cases.  But there are cases where there's no current fix that works.  Don't forget that.

Yeah, no. A simple statement reassuring us they're investigating the issue is not going to cut it. They keep digging as they stay silent, and right now the hole is so deep that if they'd give us another "we're investigating it, and we'll get back to you" people are just going to froth at the mouth and rage lots.

They should've talked to us at least once every two days or so. This is just terrible.
