I remember the same thing happening with the auto-attack option for DA2, biowares responce seemed the same then too
Now as a player I prefurred the auto attack opton in DAO and I joined many others in protest in DA2's  lack of one . Even though the face code issue in ME3 is a MAJOR issue I'm not going to complain this time because like with the auto attack Bioware will eventually sort it out we can only tell them about the issue complaining or theating to boycott dlc won't make the patch come any quicker. In the mean time lets use our phones to take pictures of front and sides of our shepard's heads I know I will

I would urge anyone holding off playing the game to just play it. I bet the patch will not only take weeks, but it will be totally lacking. It'll probably import your character without any errors but give you a Shepard that still looks nothing like your original creation.

I'm still shocked at how no one at BioWare raised a brow at this. And people need to stop referring to it as a "bug," as every single person at the company had to have known about this.

Bottom line: I don't buy for a second that NO ONE noticed this GLARING problem. I'm sure they said, "well, by the time they know about it, we'll already have their money. If enough people whine, we'll figure out a patch later." Whoever made that decision needs to get punched in the pocketbook. They care more about their bottom line than our story, so let's hurt their bottom line until they stop hurting our story. It's really the only way.


I have to say the last part is ridiculous. You want to boycott their product that is your right. But don't say they don't caret. For some the Shepard import is working. They worked tirelessly on this game.

The Inside jokes, and in later play how your decisions affected things. The various endings. This was hard worked on. There is no way they can have alternatives to so many endings, give you so many options, which I might add is incredibly difficult to do in a game and they not care. If they didn't care except to get your money the game would be 7 hours long, there would be NO dialogue options and those who lived and died would be determined by a preset.

They care. It is impossible to make a game this indepth and for there not to be mistakes and glitches. Yes they are a franchise but their mistakes are just that mistakes. On this problem I agree with you. Horrible mistake to make. But it didn't happen because they didn't care about the game. Look into it a little on the production. Many of them sacrificed alot to do it. Just saying


Importing the character is not a glitch that is ok to have. That should have been tested. BW should give me and onyone else who cares about this $20 back. Because the ammount of time this will take to repair the game would be $20 cheaper.

You have got to be kidding me bioware. Seriously.

I payed for the collectors edition of this game. With all I have found out in the past three days, I am sincerely regretting that decision.
With the forced Origin install, multiplayer being pushed so hard (not letting this "readiness" aspect to be controlled in my single player game) and this horse**** I will never buy another bioware/EA game again.
The fact that I will not be able to play my game with the shep that I created. The face that I had spent so many hours perfecting and many more playing with. This is unacceptable.

I am ashamed to be a bioware fan.

I've been checking every few hours online hoping to see some news about the fix. I got my game all loaded with all my downloads but I just can't bring myself to play it yet. I got the error code and my Shepard looked completely different (so different she was blond instead of brunette) and I just didn't want to try to match her up. I think I may play around with it tomorrow, but I agree with other users stated that it's like playing the game with someone else's character.

Agreed on not okay glitch to have not arguing that. It was a horrible mistake. We love how our Sheperds look and it is huge in us empathizing with them. Bad mistake.

It probably was tested but they have different comms and as I said for some people it worked for them it probably did.

You know as well as I they can't do that. Businesses does not work that way. They can't track down everyone who this happened to nor can they prove that the person saying it is telling the truth. And the people who would lose the money wouldn't be Bioware but the people who sold you the game. Amazon, gamestop them.

I noticed he said that "some" players are having this issue. So the ME3 importer is indeed working for some?

Does it have anything to do with PC/PS3/360 differences or is this issue cross system? I'm getting the feeling that this might be tied into playing with a save file imported all the way from ME1 more so than those that only have a ME2 save.

No idea. Certainly not for me. I always get the error when trying to import.

Honestly, that something like this was not caught by QA is nothing short of embarassing. Provided there actually was some kind of QA, of course. ;-)

From what I've read, if you straight imported from 1 to 2 without adjusting your character's look, you won't import correctly. If someone adjusted their look when they imported from 1 to 2, many or all of those people are importing okay. That is apparently why there is no import problem on PS3.

Brannon - Those that created their Shepard from scratch in ME2 with regards to the face, NOT importing a ME1 face, are having FEWER problems. Their Sheps definitely import, but not all of them end up looking quite right. NOBODY who played ME1, ME2, and ME3 on the same platform, creating an original ME1 face and importing it to ME2, now trying to import it to ME3, is working.

This is not to say anything for those players for whom importing gameplay data, not just content, isn't working. Luckily, I'm not having that problem, for me its just the face (Though, I do question exactly what is importing in terms of game history/content... it recorded the fact the Council made me a reactivated Spectre in ME2, but may not have recorded that I consummated with Liara in Lair of the Shadow Broker ME2 and she and my Shep decided to actively continue the relationship)

To be quite frank I don't care who would be out the money. I am tired of buying games and getting a glitch like this. I don't buy allot of games at $60 so when I pay that much for a game I expect it to work. It was gamestop and considering they will sell you a used game for only 5 dollars cheaper I really don't care. I am actually tomorrow going to call up EA and yell at them and demand comepnsation.

I am tied of EA every thing I like EA games comes and ruins. BW has gone down in quality since selling there soul to EA games.  Mass Effect would not have kept my interest if not for the character import thing. Then they take away the one thing I really liked about mass effect and I am supposed to be OK with it?

I am not going to just ask EA games for compensation I am going to demand it. I will just yell at them till they do. It worked when my 360 broke and MS is just as stubborn as EA games.

Interesting. I always adjust minor details when I play ME2, mainly for the better hair styles and that the skin tones from ME1 and ME2 don't match up exactly. (My ME1 Shepard as is imports much paler into ME2 without adjustment)

To be clear, this is absolutely not true.

Many people are having trouble with ME2->ME3 imports. You couldn't adjust your look in 2 anyway, for what it's worth.
 But it doesn't matter, because face codes from 2 do not get you the same look in 3. It is the case with my character, and I've read a great number of other posts where it's the same with others.

The overhaul of the CC has resulted in warped versions of characters because the codes no longer seems to correspond properly. It seems that some of this is from modified/missing features and some from modified/missing facial structures. 

edit: To be even more clear, this is not a ME1 import bug. It's a general import problem that seems to be resulting from the changes to the CC, and it does affect PS3 users as well. The face codes from 2 just don't necessarily work correctly in 3.

 The haircut my Shepard is using isnt availeble in mass effect 3, i cant understand how you would remove a hairstyle that maybe 1% of the fans have been using for ME1 and ME2. I think this might be the problem that my Shepards appearance cant be imported, though my choices can. Please make a patch with all the hairstyles from ME1 and ME2.

Well, I'm going to sleep and check back on this tomorrow. If there are still no updates from Bioware about how the fix is progressing, I guess I'll suck it up and play with my deformed Shepard...even if later when they fix this next month I'll have to replay again. I am still flabbergasted, however, that  they shipped a game with a major game breaking bug on 100% of the copies. Bioware is known for their terrible, experience ruining bugs on release date, but it's usually just for some people (like the import problems some were having in DA II) or minor, this bug is affecting EVERYONE, some people just care more than others. It's ridiculous.

In any case, it's official, I AM NOT PRE-ORDERING OR BUYING A SINGLE BIOWARE GAME ON RELEASE DATE EVER AGAIN, I bought Origins and ME1 months after release for cheap and was fine. But then I bought Dragon Age II and ME2 on release date and had to deal with all the annoying bugs that ruined my experience and took forever to fix, and now I pre-order ME3 and this happens...I shouldn't have to deal with this, punished for getting the game early. For DA III and whatever comes next, I'll just just wait until the retail price drops and then buy it, like I always do for other games. I'm sick of Bioware's major bugs on release date, that then they take forever to fix.

But to the people saying Bioware is not replying because they don't care...it's more likely because BW's PR and community department always has this policy to stay quiet about heated issues until they have a sure solution to the problem and tells employees what to say or to stay quiet when certain topics arise in forums (you know this if you have had to deal with other Bioware release days...), I have no idea why, because all it achieves EVERY time is just get the fans more angry, but that's how they work.

I was waiting to play like everyone else to import my face to ME3 but I just can't take it its time to have some fun. Made a chara as close as my ME2 (and hate it) watching the opening now.

I think what is making the situation worse is the dead silence coming from Bioware in the past 24 hours. Besides that very pitiful initial comment by Chris Priestly at the start of this thread that sounded more like a P.R. comment then someone who cares, 45 pages later and what have we heard from Bioware?? Nothing. Not a single damn thing.


And again I can only point to the now closed thread pointing out this problem a good week before release. No damn reaction until the preorders and day one purchases were out.

So they had time and budget to create Day One DLC, yet they couldn't be bothered to make sure that a VITALLY IMPORTANT component of the game worked properly at launch. Sorta shows where their priorities were at ... hmmm.

Just saying.....

my thoughts too

First time posting on these forums. Unfortunantly it's to add my complaint with everyone else's. Whole thing is just disappointing, but that's been pointed out many times in this thread.

I will say that my Shepard started his Career in Mass Effect 2 on the Xbox. I beat the game, then started a new career by importing the completed file, appearance included. Completed that playthrough too. Now I've tried to import into Mass Effect 3 and I get the error.

I hope the issue gets fixed soon.
