So...

EA and Bioware left a broken version of save import in the final version of the game, made the single-player game outcome rely on multi-player.

Can anyone prove that this isn't a deliberate attempt by EA and Bioware to force the earliest fans of the series to play multi-player, in an effort to boost revenue through DLC and micro-transactions while they wait for a patch and/or play campaign?

Or that EA's marketing department decided that brand awareness and identification would be higher if the user base could more strongly identify with the main character? I.E. by trying to force default Shepard on everybody?

Will EVERY Bioware game be a 3rd person shooter now? A 3rd person shooter full of 14 year old kids using Battlefield crossover nonsense?

The graphics have changed so much that I don't think it's possible for my femshep to be imported into ME3. I tried to recreate her with the options given in ME3 custom creator but she looks almost nothing like her previous self. How am I supposed to feel attached to a character that looks so different from previous games?

Still no update on this is disappointing. I tried and failed at creating my alternate Shepards a few times. Odd looking Shepard combined with lack of enthusiasm caused by 'certain events' within the game are probably going to be the reasons I never complete ME3 a second time.

they're not going to fix it, no?
i get the feeling they don't even care anymore


Its clear that they don't care.  70k views to a post 1 1/2 weeks old.  People are making web sites trying to bring attention to the problem as well as tutorial sites to help you hack your xbox and save files to try and get a slightly better shep.  There response, a "community manager" has posted once and updated it once with a generic answer.  That's it, nothing else.  Its embarrassing and unacceptable.  I have been a gamer for over 25 years and I have seen some screw ups, but I have never been so upset about a game in its current state to not want to play it.  That's saying a hell of a lot.  Yes I know you can play the game.  But the ability to create your sheppard is one of the major features and draws to this franchise.  To not have the ability to carry over your shep after two games is a  fail of monumental proportions.  Often times game companies make mistakes they come out with a press statement.  Bioware has decided to make a couple sentence response on a thread in a forum, about them looking into it, that's it.  Unbelievable.

Totally agree with you Six. I'm in the same boat... I messaged chris directly to no response. This is disheartening.

FINALLY finished my ME2 play-through and started up 3. Yep.... the face import failed me :crying: Lovely, lovely error.

Fortunately, all my messing around recreating my Shep in the demo has paid off and he's pretty much identical, like, indistinguishable really. I guess I've been lucky. Gave me the opportunity to give him slightly different facial hair and a marine-style short back and sides.

So I guess not every import story ends badly.

I say if we are dissatisfied with the lack of updates we bring it up with EA. Let's tell them how poorly a job the current community updater is doing. I will look for a good email address we can all send messages to.

No kidding eh? I never thought I'd be one of "those" people, but I just can't bring myself to play through without my Shepard.

My Shepard survived a fall from orbit to a planet's surface, came back from the dead, was reconstructed, and still managed to keep the same face. Now she spends some time lounging around on Earth and her face just suddennly turns to putty? It's just not right!

Still no fix? This is terrible. This is WORSE than the ending fiasco. For the ending, they can claim that they're the writers, so what they say goes. But there's no excuse for THIS at all! No worries, though, I just won't buy this damn thing.
At this rate, by the time a fix comes out, I would've played enough playthroughs (albeit with a Shepard that looks like a cross between my old Shepard and a hippopotamus) on my friend's laptop, and I just won't have a reason to buy my own copy of it. And I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Thank you very much Chris for viewing this as a priority. I know I won't, well can't, play ME3 until I can import my original face. (Not being ****y, just can't do it)

guys, i am no fan of bioware at the moment, but please don't post anything about the ending on a non spoilers thread about the face importation issue. They have other threads to post spoilers and stuff.

Glad to hear your Shepard was able to be recreated. Unfortunately for many of us, we chose features from the face creation utility that have now been abandoned, it seems. You can check out this page for examples of what our poor Shepards would now have to look like: http://www.fixmasseffect3.com

I just want an official statement. I refuse to play without my Shepard. I don't mind waiting, I just need to know something. If I don't know something by the end of the business day this coming Monday, i'm just going to put the game on a shelf and forget about it for a few months. And boycott future bioware titles and dlc. And tell everyone why.

I'm gonna hit EA where it hurts...my wallet and bad word of mouth

I really hope someone somewhere from Bioware is taking notice of this forum. There's almost 200 pages of complaints and over 70,000 views. Clearly this is an issue gamers are concerned with and will effect our judgement in future Bioware titles. We're asking for a fix, but an update would most definitely tide us over temporarily. I feel like I'm sitting at the little kids table and all the adults are ignoring me.

I might as well sell my copy back to gamestop at this point. I'll buy the "Game Of The Year Edition." It will be cheaper, and hopefully finished by that point.

Let's hope the fact that the patch is taking so long means they are trying to get the face imports right,  and not just working.

You could be waiting some time yet for a fix if there ever is one. Even if they have a fix ready by Monday it would still have to pass Xbox Certification which can take a couple of weeks (they may release the PC patch sooner but I doubt it). I could be wrong but I reckon you guys still have a fair wait ahead of you.

Hmm still no word on the face import issue? I want to go back and play the first two games but I am holding off until they get this fixed. Also holding off on playing my canon is ME 3 until they get this fixed (though I have played ME 3 with non-canon imports)
