They might be too large. Just replace the IMG tag with URL, makes it easier to view too.

So my intention had been to wait for the patch, since I got the error message when importing my FemShep and was offered the default face instead *sob* 

However I lost my nerve when it became clear the patch would not be coming out yesterday and spent a good four hours recreating my old FemShep as best I could with the sliders available:

ME2:

ME3 attempt:

Ironically, my new concern is that they wouldn't have been able to do the same or better anyway, despite just using resources available in the current ME3 sliders. Will be interesting to see what the import offers me once patched!

 Ah man :crying: Anyway, to describe what you missed: she's not a bad looking FemShep but does have that hairstyle that no longer exists. I still managed to get really close to her ME2 face, just gave her a different hairdo on the premise that she hasn't cut it :blush:. Really I don't get why this import issue exists for faces like hers, given how closely I managed to recreate her.

I got the patch and simply put, it worked for me but not perfectly for my MaleShep.

I wrote some pages back that I had the exact slider positions for my FemShep saved to a text file since 2007 and using these same figures in the ME2 & ME3 CC before the face import patch produces my version of FemShep. After the face import patch, I get the same thing so that's all well and good but I can only really be grateful to the fact that I saved the slider positions to a text file back in 2007 which made me able to play the game on the release date.

My MaleShep can now be imported but the lips are wrong and his smooth complexion is gone forever. Minor tweaking gives me back my Shepard (sans the smooth complexion) but this is something I already did without the patch. I manually recreated my MaleShep in the ME2 CC and got it to almost perfect likeness and just imported the ME2 code into ME3 and tweaked the lips.

As far as I can tell, the new patch automates what other existing workarounds do and it's common knowledge already that these workarounds do not provide perfect results for everyone and only a small percentage can recognize their version of Shepard after the ME3 face import.

Some people are saying that the new graphic engine in ME3 is causing the problem but isn't the ME2 PS3 version using the new engine? Someone in this thread posted some pages back that he managed to import his ME1 character into ME2 PC then used the generated code on the PS3 version and got perfect results so this new graphic engine can't be the root of the problem. 

Oh Bioware.... what is happening?

Well, I paid 80 bucks for it. If BioWare says they're taking their CE back, I will not play it return it.


Hey Kya, been seeing you alot on these forums generating positive suggestions & feedback for the community.  Really appreciate it.  Thanks for being persistant.  Hope that our efforts amount to something.


Hi Benny. Well, I feel like I've been betrayed by a friend whom I trusted and believed in. I don't want to cut ties (yet), but I want them to understand (and acknowledge) that they messed up and how deeply disappointed I am.

If someone said we're sorry we ruined ME3 for you, that'd go a long way. But the way they insist everything is fine and working as intended is really testing my goodwill.

Yeah, the haircut is my problem, too. Characters tend to look very different without that haircut you are used to.

EA and Bioware would like everyone to know that being a friend is not a part of their policy.

Thanks for that woodbyte.  Now I know I won't have to quit my current ME3 run.  What's the word on you and your buddies attempting something?


Currently mapping the FemShep LODs on my spare time (MaleShep's are completely different btw):

Image IPB

The yellow bits have been verified by hand. Still need to do most of the mouth and the right eye.
There have been a few complications, but nothing unexpected. It's just going kind of slow now because I have an important college assignment due in 2 weeks.

I also can't predict what the side-effects will be when having a complete map we finally go ahead with the adjustment. It may be that the new skinning and animation system won't like the changes introduced and produce odd behavior.

Thinking of setting up a Google Project or something like that so others can contribute. Pheonix52gx, you around? :P



Where can I download this awesome program? And does the changes you make with it work ingame?

I now hope it's ASAP, because my first training at work got cancelled, so I have 'til 18:00, since I have to go to school at that time! So, hurry up!

Basically the bottom line was that it will come out between now and 5 hours from now.

I caved and got Shadow Broker and Arrival for ME2 to play through while I wait. Cause if I continue my ME3 save and it turns out the patch can do it better I will be one mardy cow! Granted, that may be a long shot - and sadly I'm not even complimenting my character creation skills.

I would go on at length about the disappointment of it all, but I think that everyone on here has tasted that one by now. There's only really one thing that I feel needs to be said - screwing over the community with a total lack of information aside - this bug simply should never, ever have made it through to release. If Bioware aren't bloody embarassed, they should be.

Mmm, loving the specifics. Not a huge problem but seems a bit daft to have got people worked up about the 10th if it wasn't going to come out then.

Set up a paypal account, too. I can't help with the programming stuff, but I can help pay for pizza and chocolates :)

Tried out the new face import, and while the error message is gone, the results I got are the same as I did when I used the YAML method and tweaked the face code in ME2 to make it match the import (and then put that code in ME3).

Meaning it still looks off. It took them weeks to officially do what the community did in the the first few days. They didn't even bother to fix the fact that the red eyebrows in ME2 come up as grey-ish in ME3 (I know this is something that can be easily changed by me, but it just shows the lack of polish with this iteration of the character generator).

Anyway, here is a screen of the results: i39.tinypic.com/25ksig5.jpg

I'm actually not that worried about the ending (*flameshield*), I just want to start the game properly! Having to play MP in the meantime.

If I'm bioware or EA, I'm not gonna create any patch of probably not even a game at all because you people are just simple not worth it. Developers will create good games for us to enjoy and what do we do? COMPLAIN? damn. Not being a racist or something but that's just so american. All you know to do is complain. Stop whining and start playing. Heck if you don't like the game or bioware's patch then why the hell you're here? then stop playing mass effect and grab some other game like Dear Esther or something! geez... you people who always complain deserves nothing at all. Other companies out there will not create great games like mass effect anymore because of your attitude and will probably just create some stupid shallow games that you will never care yet will give them money. Hopeless


Well, I paid 80 bucks for it. If BioWare says they're taking their CE back, I will not play it and return it.

ETA: Besides, Mass Effect was fine, it's when I fell in love with this franchise. That was 5 years ago. ME2, as someone said, was the best in the series. The problem is ME3, which doesn't even come close to ME2's quality and breaks so many promises made and expectations raised over years that it cannot honestly be defended with a straight face by anyone not BioWare/EA, a newbie or impressionable teen.
It seems to me that it's the loyal fans who get the shaft, and people new to the franchise (and I count many of those who started with ME2 among them, especially PS3 players) simply don't have the same level of attachment, excitement, emotional involvement and expectation and they dare to tell us to stop whining.Why don't you shut up and leave me alone with your low standards. Enjoy your washed brain and sub-par games.


sub par games? bwahaha. I'm probably even a better and real gamer than you whinner. I also played mass effect 1, 2, and 3, along with hundres of other games may it be ps3, xbox, or pc games. Tsk tsk.. just accept it, you're a whinner. This is just a freakin game. Your lucky Bioware creates games like this that your fat ass can enjoy. Again, if you hate bioware or ME3, then just freakin stop playing it, go out and get some life lol.

Good thing this is mass effect 3, the last on the series. Hopefully bioware will stop creating awesome games like this, and just greate games like angry birds or sorts so that people like you will not complain that they can't import their bird properly lol.

tsk tsk, you're not a gamer, you're are whinner.
