OOops forgotten

Well also i like to remember Mr Chris Priestley that on page 300 i gave him my compliments and a special communications award! Hey Mr Priestley why didnt you unlock it yet ? Please unlock it so you can twitter that you have gotten an award from a user in this topic.

My guess is that on page 500 we are all waiting for the patch that is fixing the patch that should fix the patch on the patch trying to patch the face issues.

I already have another very special award trophy ready for page 500

Take care! I need sleep now.
Hopefully i wont have dreams about face issues.

Also, can somebody tell me how to quote in a quick reply because every time I try to quote it tries to start a new thread.

I don't get the error message with my other Shep, instead the face I have is the default custom face, not the face I actually created back in 2007 and have grown to love ever since, it is just the face you start with when you choose to create a custom character, it is not the face you actually created. This is the problem most of us are having and we were told it would be fixed, it hasn't been, what has been fixed is: those players who received an error message and nothing imported no longer recieve the message, they receive a Shepard that looks roughly like their original, this is what happened with my other Shep. But I want my original Shep fixed, I want his face back, I have waited over a month for this and there's still no fix in sight. I just want Bioware to tell me whether it will be fixed or not, if not, well that sucks, but at least I can move on because right now I can't and it's killing me.

I have no idea if Bioware is gone to fix this or not, still you can do it by yourself.

In other cases, when the face will import completely wrong, you most probably have a wrong face code stored in your ME2 save files.  If that is the case you need to remove this code from your ME2 save files before importing them in ME3.

Well, regarding the scars, one way to explain it would be the following: as I recall, the reason they appear in the first place is because you haven't had time to fully heal and adapt, and thus exciting/aggressive behaviour will prevent you from healing normally and you will start rejecting all the implants.

Now, since between ME2 and ME3 Shepard spent some time resting on Earth, under house-arrest, the healing process resumed and you healed back up. Of course, if you THEN start being all gung-ho aggressive (i.e. renegade), you start feeling the effects again.

Back. Salute to you all (exept 1)

Edit-> Me1-> Me2 direct no face code)  PC

The patch didnt do it for me. There are some things that remember me a little bit on Nicole, But it just is NOT her. ( Hair, eyebrows, eyes, mouth ) i took a about 50 screenshots in ME 3 just after the import and also In game ( Earth) and Squad ( Me3)

Now look i had 3 nightshifts and i do have a pretty hard job wich requires a lot from me ( physical and emotional).
I played Mass Effect 1 & 2 for more as 450 hours (only with Nicole Shepard) to relax and have fun.

Well this is no fun at all anymore. ( the fun i have now is seeing my 2 cats play : )
I followed this topic created by Chris P from page 1 until this page.

I already spent hours and hours not playing ME3 but trying to reconstruct Nicole's Face.
I learned about Yaml, about Lods, about photoshop, about modding , about save editors, etc etc But i still CANNOT play Nicole Shepard!

I am at the point to call my credit card service and try to get back the 80 euro's i spent on the CE and just forget about ME 3 and replay 1 and 2 and maybe , maybe in 1 year rebuy the game.

I do have a question, shall i post my screenshots in here? ore post them on a photosite and give the link.

I also want to give many many many compliments especially to Lilltheris and Kia ! They are so much trying to help everyone! ( also Pheonix and Woodburry ) You guys girls are dooing the work now that Bioware technical support SHOULD do! I forgot the Xbox expert who created the Blog ( forgotten his name) and if i forgot some else i apologize.

Thank You! Thank You!

Sorry for my english, I am dutch , tired and angry at the PR and Tech guys/girls that are not giving any support here!

Regards from The Netherlands.

Hi Emphyr nice to see you again. Question (no need to answer it now, came from a Night shift as well.) You did check your ME2 saves for a Face code with Gibbed? If yes, you are aware that you can change the Hair, eyebrows, eyes and mouth in the CC even after importing her?

Wrong.

1.) Players should not have to revert to a method (Modio & Gibbed) that violates Microsoft's TOS to make an official patch do what it's supposed to do.

2.) Faces that used assets that have been removed still don't import correctly, although by all means they should. There is no reason why players should be punished for using these eyes or that nose or this mouth or that hair.

3.) This is where I'd day it's par for the course for a new game with an adjusted engine: changed meshes/textures plus awful lighting and animation result in Shepards not being exactly the same and looking downright UGLY in cutscenes.

Thanks man, not used to Bioware's forums.

[Emphyr]

One thing more i saw posters asking how to take screenshots and post
Personally i use Gadwin Printscreen ( with the settings i am able to select any area of my screen) and auto upnumber the saves.

I post the screenshot on Tinypic.com and there copy the img code for forums.-->




You can also use fraps ( does also save video's) and more just search on internet on how to take screenshots for more..

you can also type [img ] picture [/img ]   picture has to be uploaded somewere..

I'm sure this isn't the real reason Bioware intended, but I'll tell myself this is the reason so I don't feel all weird about it haha, thanks man

[Emphyr]

example on tinypic ( you can also use photobucket, flickr, photopoint and a lot lot more ) This one is Tinypic. ( Be aware that after 50 days your uploads are deleted ) unless you logged in ( free account)

Edit i am really gooing to sleep now ( working again tonight) if i come home after that tommorrow ill upload my face screenshots i got in ME3.

Take care you all!

Just wanted to thank Bioware for hiring a great PR guy in "Chris". What a great job you have done in communicating this error we have had when trying to import our characters from the two previous games. Cant blame Bioware for shipping a game that didn't let us import our characters. Its really not a big deal. I mean you can play the game essentially, it only effects people who have supported the series from the beginning.

Anyways thanks again Bioware and special shout out to "Chris". I only have to go back a few hundred pages to find what im looking for! Whether its gibbed, yaml, hacking, usb flash drive or modio editing i know i can get a partial import with just a little computer engineering! 

I look forward to buying another Bioware product as soon as I have my masters degree.

Best post in the thread.

Well, since it doesn't look like they are going to respond. Can anyone give me a quick rundown of the gibbed method? That's the one were you can sort of import your correct eye colours etc., right?
And can you change your skin colour too? It looks like play-doh.

[tango jack]

I am really perplexed about the patches hit/miss ratio with face importation. In my case it was successfull in 4 out of 6 cases and 90% with the other 2. I see though that others are having real problems with it still with no differance pre/post patch.

I wondering whether it is a resource problem where the more a shepard uses resources that where in ME1/ME2 that are still in ME3 the better off you are in which case its a luck thing. Yet some people cant import a sheploo face which is default face in all games.

I have gone alright with the patch but this inconsistency is a bad thing in any ones book.

I agree, they shouldn't, still my statement is not wrong, the fix works the problems now are different.

I agree again, and I already stated that above.

That's, with due respect, depends on the Shepard you created. For my Shepard the new engine works just fine, she looks better then before.

@Benny8484, I'd post a picture of my Shepard if I could, but I'm at work, and even when I get home, I have no decent way of taking a photo (other than my phone's camera) and no real desire to dig ME2 out. He looks and "feels" like my Shepard; that's really all I'm interested in.

As for the Renegade scars, isn't it the same as any sequel that resets your character's abilities? It doesn't make sense as to why you'd "forget" your powers either, but it's a necessary artifice for the sake of balance and game design. In-universe, the scars were largely affected by Shepard's emotional state, and if he/she's been out of action for months on end, away from the stress of combat and command, it makes sense they'd fade. Maybe?

[iceytoa1]

So just testing to patch in game, the facial structure imported well, the hair has been removed and will never look quite right, the eye colour has also been removed and for some reason the lighting is throwing a purple glow upwards into his eyes?

[iceytoa1]

On second thoughts, after the first set of cutscenes he is looking like himself

*SPOILER





After the explosion, when he is dazed, he looked perfect






End Spoiler*

Skin color change is easier in the CC, still if you not like any of the skin or eye colors in there. You are on a PC or on the XBox?

Yes, only, the scars are not abilities, they serve no purpose other than to make your character look a certain way, they don't make the game easier or harder, they don't give you a leg up on your enemies, they don't give you new conversation options etc. Scars should not reset and grow back, that's absurd, they can be fixed in the ME universe, sure, but at least give us a choice, don't completely change my character's face and think it's okay. Also, to try to put it in perspective, did you ever watch The Wire? Remember Omar? Remember that big scar that ran from his forehead across his cheek? Imagine if that scar dissapeered at the beginning of each season and he had to slowly grow it back with his renegade attitude. That would be absolutely ridiculous, well I see this the same way, my character is a scarred badass, his scars just magically dissapeering and forcing me to 're-earn' them just doesn't sit right with me. Also, as I said earlier, that was a mechanic that actually made sense in ME2, as Shepard had just had surgery and was still recovering, it makes no sense for that mechanic to return in ME3, it feels to me like a lousy gimmick. Also, this has really annoyed me on another level as I have waited a month to get (one of) my Sheps back and actually be able to play the game and when I do get his face back, it's completely different because he has no scars at all, this is not acceptable. It was clearly not intentional as well, so please don't claim it was, it's because the importing system in ME3 can't import your scars. That's it, it wasn't a concious design choice, just like not being able to have our original characters wasn't a concious design choice, it's just a sh***y thing we have to deal with.

I'm on PC.
