I really hope we get the patch before Friday - I have planned to play a lot during this weekend, but not being able to import my charater's face from two previous games bothers me a lot.

[TrueHD]

I just realized that my Shepard is basically the default Femshep from ME2, minus some different eyeshadow, hair color, and skin tone.

I copied the face code into ME3, and it still looks like nothing alike.

thanks 1upD I am one of those people...guess I'll just have to see.

Also, has anyone been able to confirm the Shepard VI having the imported face? If the face can clearly be recreated through the VI, then surely we should be able to import it correctly.

it does not

Well then, that completely makes me feel like we're screwed. 

yeah I think it is supposed to have the imported face but MY shepard VI looked nothing like my import shepard

I've heard from someone that they had their "old Shepard" as the VI, so I don't know.

the mouth is the biggest issue - they removed to many preset mouths

Yep. Even if they somehow fix the import problem, the fact remains that the pieces necessary to rebuild my Shepard are gone.

I'm still baffled by this. There's pandering to new players, then there's actively trying to punish your existing ones.

Thank you for addressing this. Although it did not deter me from starting yesterday morning, it was kind of disappointing not to see my version of Shepard for this third installment.

[alevice]

I dont think it is fully verified the shep vi looks like an imported model. It has been reportedby only a single person, and to be honest,the evidence he posted made me notice that his Shepard got more or less imported right anyway.

I'm really surprised why they didn't just stick to the ME2 CC. It was an excellent module. When this scene played out, I was so proud of my Shep. She looked so cool! So real! I was gleeful and amazed at the detail because it looked like a photo. I can say with no doubt that the ME2 FemSheps look 100x better than any ME3 one I've seen so far. They gutted the FemSheps

This is a slap in the face to the FemSheps. We might be the minority, but as a female gamer I feel like I was just gutted.

Wait... the Shepard VI in your game DOES have your old face? Another poster said their's was completely off... Is it definitely the same? And.. I don't suppose we'd be able to bother you for screenshots, comparing your character in ME2, ME3, and the VI? If that VI IS getting the imported face, even if only some of the time, that would mean there is at least some hope that a fix for this won't be too overly difficult to make!

Yes, so am I, and so is everyone who played the games on anything other than the Playstation 3 and cared. It's kind of a big deal. 

Most people just recreate their faces as best as possible. (That's what I did, but I'm still considering starting over) It doesn't work out as well as possible, though, especially if the faces were complicated and used features of the character creator that have been removed. The story decisions are still there, but the magic of the save transfer just isn't there anymore when I can't start up the game and gasp to see the character I created in the previous game resurrected on a brand new engine. That moment in Mass Effect 2 was spectacular.

It's a slap in the face for most ME1 fans who are commited to their custom Shepard's, lol.  Though I agree on the FemSheps, I found it way easier to make a good looking FemShep in ME2, compared to ME3.

Yeah, please post a SS if it is - that would help out this situation a lot. 

[Wufenopolis]

Yeah I'm really surprised they didn't catch and fix this problem in testing. One of Mass Effect's most compelling features is the ability to import your character from previous games. How did this get completely overlooked during testing?

[abnocte]

I doubt we are going to get a patch any time soon, since I think the nature of the bug itself is more complicated that it may seem.


And as other people have been saying, it's not just the game recognizing the original face, some previous choices aren't there anymore.

I remember reading that some options were removed or tweaked to accommodate the new facial animations. But I thought that since the new animations are more exaggerated faces would get higher polycount... but so far ME2 seems the one with higher quality out of the three.

Since someone commented that I should see the ME3 face in-game and not rely on what I see in the CC I got these screenshots....I tried to show some of the best and the worst by far (bottom right )



compared with ME and ME2 I better prepare myself to accept that she isn't going to look the same, patch or not.

Ok screenshots on the way

There is no way Bioware didn't know this was happening. I wouldn't be so frustrated right now if I didn't feel that they were just going to try and act like nothing was wrong, just to see if it was a big deal to some people. I know for a fact its not for some people, but for me, a very significant personal event happend the day Mass Effect 1 came out. Playing that game was my only means of escape at that time, and THAT Shepard almost became my best friend. I still remember how excited I was to see that face again about 1 am the night of the Mass Effect 2 launch. Fast forward to Monday night, and the dissapointment can't even be put into words. It was like taking a long road trip to see an old friend just to be told he died when you get there.

I'm currently playing with an "approximation" of my old Shep, and it just doesn't feel right. Don't get me wrong, the game is fantastic, but I just can't enjoy it because I'm too fixated on the cheap knockoff saying the lines with that weird, not quite right mouth. I've already restarted the game 3 times, and I'm pretty sure I'm going to again to give it one more go at that face. I'm probably just not going to play single player until they fix this, so I can finish his and my 4 other Shepard's story.

My biggest fear is that this can't be fixed. You don't make a series of games that allows you to carry over your character through 3 different iterations (one of the very few games to try to achieve this) and not test that aspect somewhat early in development. I think at some point they realized it just couldn't be done. If it could be fixed, it would have been done already, or available as a day one patch. I hope I'm wrong.

Disappointment, nerd rage, anger, etc. are words that by themselves don't fully express the range of emotions tied with BioWare's mistake.

Keep requesting an ETA to keep them in the hot seat. As long as we keep pushing for this as a community, we will see results.

I think you're reaching.  They've already got our money, they don't care anymore.  Look at Skyrim and the PS3 issues, did those ever get fixed?  If so, how long?

[Teeebs]

First playthrough on hold till they fix this.....

One thing I'm seeing occassionally is the notion the game was rushed or the dev team didn't try as hard somehow. It's disheartening to see that because I can tell you the development team worked *incredibly* hard on the game, including a ton of personal sacrifice (hours worked, holidays skipped etc). This was a labor of love for the team and we're all very proud of what has been accomplished. There are bugs that got through (face import. we know ) but they are being investigated for fixing etc.

A bug this big doesn't accidentaly get through, it get's let through.

You should check this out. It seems the VI gets the "old Shep" while the player does not   http://social.biowar...dex/9513640/123

Yeah... I saw those, though (I was the second post after it XP). I would love if we could get screenshots from a couple more people for comparison, though. Especially since looking at those three again, the ME3 version looks darn close to the ME2 version; close enough I'd probably be okay with it, were it me; and the VI doesn't look quite the same - it's certainly close, but I can definitely tell the eyebrows are different. That said, though, I've heard the CC now is worse with FemSheps... as such, a look at the VI with a female character could be particularly useful.
