I was so excited about a patch! And then I looked at what it "imported". Not even close. It was the exact same imported face the game tried to foist upon me as before the vaunted patch. This is so disappointing. It's back to multiplayer again until a patch to patch the patch comes out (hopefully).

[teh DRUMPf!!]

Well I just got the patch, though I'd already re-created my Shepard the best I could so I could play the campaign. What the CC gave me now was little different than what I'd already made, only thing I didn't quite get right myself was the exact size and shape of the head/face.

Ultimately, I'm still quite disappointed. The import came out fairly accurately, but my character simply does not look good anymore. In ME1 and ME2 I was always proud of the guy I'd created; he looked like a man among men. Now, he looks like an ugly plastic doll while pretty much every character around him looks better and more defined.

That really makes me feel bitter. Nothing was inherently better about the engine in ME3 that made graphics so much better than ME2. And so if this was a consequence of that change, they simply should not have made any switch at all.

F*ck it. Seriously, f*ck it. I am so tired of waiting to play this d*mn game, I'm just going to do it already.

BTW, the face "imported", but it was nothing more than an official YAML method.

[learie]

And the patch allows me to import a femShep who has the right colour hair and eyes but who bears no resemblance to her former self.

It appears that this is an inescapable result of the ME1 engine being too different from ME3's. OK.
Shouldn't the patch info tell us that?
SO not getting what I paid for, Bioware.

[StarAce905-2]

Ah, the wonders of Bioware. This is exactly the face I got via the YAML method + some tweaking in ME2.

[PrivateJoker17]

Oh and Bioware, one more thing, at the end of ME2 the Shep that DID import into ME3 successfully was at full renegade and I did not fix his scars, in ME3 he has no scars whatsoever, not even the scar he had in the original ME. Thanks for that, good job, I'm boycotting your future games.

[bleemv1]

The patch fixed my femshep's face (from ME1) It just had the eye colour wrong, and possibly the lips. Overall, the face structure was close enough to the original and much closer to my attempt at recreating her face before the patch came out.

The scars aren't a part of the character creator. Just start playing.

On the bright side, at least the thread is still stickied. It probably means they'll most likely address the issue sometime soon and hope to fix it... correctly.

Thanks for the laugh.  They don't care about you or this game.  The fella that started this thread is scared to come here.  He lied and said he would update us, he has in a few places but never here.  The game is broken and they tried to patch a severed arm with a band aid.  The first thing that should have been implemented was to make sure long time supporters would be able to import the characters.  Not only did they not do it first, they didn't do it at all.  I haven't decided if I'm even going to play at this point.  They a good thing going but they ruined it for me.

Really dumb question here guys, I'm sorry to ask but I'm really not very technical. How do I tell if I've downloaded the newest patch? I've just installed ME3 for the first time (have had to recreate my old saves from ME1 and ME2 first), and my face imports without an error message, but is clearly not my Shepard (I believe it's one of the preset faces, but I can't be certain). I don't have screenshots, but the difference in the face-codes should be obvious:

ME2 Code- 743. Q9G. M17. F8A. JDQ. 62Q. 1DA. 711. 966. 413. 6G6. 177
Imported ME3 Code- 441. M1A. A4W. 269. EEL. 63W. 3E7. 181. GF6. 2F4. 6G6. 114

If anyone knows of an easy way to check whether the patch is installed, and where to download the newest version of the patch from if I don't have it, I'd very much appreciate the help.

This looks like the default femShep code for ME2. Did you import an ME1 save, and then go to customize screen, then back to originally imported face on the Lazarus Project screen?

Mass Effect 2

Mass Effect 3 before and after patch

Mass Effect 3 using YAML method


I find it very disappointing the a fan made method worked and that the official patch by the people who made the game didn't.

As you can see from my last post the YAML method works better than the patch.

[PrivateJoker17]

@lillitheris the scars are part of who my character is, he had them throughout all of ME2 and he should STILL have them, I imported his face, it should import the scars too, since they are a part of him. Why did we get scars in ME2 if they wouldn't carry thrugh into ME3? I guess I could also ask: 'why did we create characters in ME1 if they wouldn't carry through into ME3?'.

Lawl, I would be willing to bet that they consider this problem "fixed". They said they would patch it and they did, they never said how good a job said patch would do. They'll likely just say something like, "it works for most people" to try and justify not doing anymore.

I wouldn't be surprised if the sticky comes down before too long.

[PrivateJoker17]

Is it sad that I predicted this 'fix' would not actually 'fix' anything, but still waited for it? I feel like I want to cry right now, that's how much Mass Effect means to me and now the final chapter in something I love so much is ruined and the people responsible don't care.

Goddamn it...

So, after having played through the game multiple times with someone who bore an uncanny resemblance to my actual shepard, I downloaded the patch, eager to finally play with MY shepard. Thus I downloaded the patch and deleted all my pseudo-shepard profiles from ME3.

You can imagine my dissapointment then when I went to import him in from the exact same ME2 save I used before and he looks exactly like he did before the patch. It literally did nothing for me. Now I have no actual shepard and I deleted my profiles and lost all my character progress.

So thanks Bioware, I'm sure the multiplayer works though, reeeeal glad that got solved.

I've never read this post before, what's the YAML method? If Bioware's not going to fix this I guess I have to.

[Rodrigo Hernandez]

I had the same problem (import still got the wrong code), after trying to match my femshep for about an hour I came back to the thread and used the gibbed method which is to make a backup of your ME2 save, open it in gibbed and delete the face code, save it and then import from the modified save, this forces ME3 to use the ME1 face geometry to generate the ME3 face like ME2 did.

It did work for me, though it may not look 100% the same on the face editor, it definitely looks like my Shepperd in-game.

Surprisingly the code I generated using the yaml method and matching the imported ME1 Shep to the ME2 code manually was really damn close, save for a few characters at the end.

Folks, the patch hasn't worked for me either.  For xbox users, this might be interesting to you.
The ME1 to ME2  import produces a generic face code which when entered into a new ME2 character just gives the default femshep (not pretty). 
I managed to export my ME2 xbox femshep onto PC to get the REAL code.  I then tested this code in ME2 new character and managed to get exactly the same face as my ME1 (without ME1 scars and hairstyle though).
So, I was happy that I could (via a code) get my exact same ME1 femshep.  I was keen to see this femshep in ME3.  Whilst ME3 accepted this code, she was ultimately not the same as ME2 even though I am now using a valid ME2 face code which is identical to my ME1 femshep.  Very close, though.  I just believe that a handful of code combinations SIMPLY DO NOT exist in ME3 which is why we get the slight variations in face shape etc...
So after all this, the femshep I now have in ME3 is...barely acceptable.  Much more acceptable than the one I tried to create from scratch (damn she was fugly).  But look at my ME1/ME2 shep in link below...isn't she gorgeous? Those eyes...  That eye shape is no longer available in ME3...they've removed the sexiest eye shape in the whole game!!  =(

So below link shows the direct translation between ME2 to ME3 using a valid code from ME2.  Even if you take ME1 out of the equation, I have a code that can get the ME2 character below, but as soon as you use that code in ME3, not right.  So it seems that the claim of  "my shep from ME1 won't import to ME3" isn't quite right.  Turns out that some valid ME2 codes also will not import correctly into ME3 (well..they will import, but "who the heck is that"?!?!)

If you wanted to try what I've done (that is to get the REAL code of your ME1 shep for Xbox), the steps are shown here:

The way to tell if you have downloaded the patch is if the game freezes up

[PrivateJoker17]

It really sucks that I'm playing on Xbox not PC (ME was released on Xbox first and I didn't know it would be on PC at all, so when it comes to ME I'm a console gamer) and can't use the YAML method to re-create my Sheps.

[PrivateJoker17]

Also, now that I've actually started playing ME3, I'm annoyed that there isn't an all human council, with my original Shepards I chose to save the council, but with my most recent Shep (the one that was imported correctly) I chose to sacrifice the council, well, in ME2 it was said that they were all human, well now they're Turian, Salarian and Asari again, with no explanation whatsoever. They also look IDENTICAL to the original council, the only difference is in their voices. What the f*** Bioware?

Your scars will return as you play.

Oh and while I'm at it, I may as well share how angry I am that Bioware didn't stick with Microsoft Game Studios, they obviously had the money to make a big budget game, I mean look at Gears of War 3. Instead, Bioware chose to go with EA after the original Mass Effect, who made Bioware make all of these bad choices so that the game would appeal to a larger audience, now ME is a broken, mainstream third person shooter and far from an RPG. Really, this is all EA's fault, they're the ones who don't care about the true fans, they're the ones who made Bioware do this; as long as there's multiplayer and good graphics though, right? At least the CoD kids are happy, at least EA is making billions, that's all that really matters.
