Terrible experience if you don't have save file

I'm massively annoyed, I played mass effect 2 and 1 on the xbox and now I'm plaing 3 on the PC so I don't have a save file. I thought ok, that's not too bad, i'm sure the default save will have many of my previous decisions and my characters will still be alive.

BUT NOPE, I've not met thane in his cutscene, not jack, no legion in geth ship, no grunt! I feel like I'm getting a second rate experience here and there is nothing I can do about it... All my friends have been telling me about the occurences of the old characters, and all i could say was? What? That didn't happen to me.

What the hell EA? Why couldn't you just give us the option to make our own save file at the start of ME3?

I did the same. Ended up just watching the cameos on youtube.

The per-generated save file is horrible. (Or at least it was in ME2 :-) )

I don't have a fix for this, but there is an alternative. Go to http://www.masseffect2saves.com/ and check through the files if someone made a save that you like.

There is an import walkthrough on the site and it works even if you don't have ME1 or ME2 installed on your computer.

Hope this helps :-)

Would have been useful thanks, I don't really feel like starting again now though.. just out of curiosity though, do I pick and ME1 save I like the look of, and a ME save I like? If so how do I avoid contridiction between the saves? For example one might have somone die and the other one might not.

I think that you can only pick an ME2 save for ME3. Most of the uploaders are kind enough to tell you the major plot decicions they made in ME1 (Wrex, Council, Anderson or Udina and VS survivor) and usually have a rather detailed ME2 description.
So there will be no contradictions between saves since you only use one :).
And well, you can keep this information behind your ear if you ever wish to replay ME3 ;)

You do realize your complaining about the game MAIN FEATURE right? The whole point of ME1-2 is to make ME3 a custom experience. You should get less if you didn't import, just like DA2 if you don't import you get less, because they were made to work that way. You've played ME2 you should have know this was going to happen.

How would I know this was goign to happen? I had no idea that EA were going to turn the default save into a horribly generic experience.. Also how am I supposed to to use my ME1 save and ME2 save when old xbox's hard drive broke? I'm now on the PC.

My disk got fried about a week before ME3 came out and so I tried to play the game without an import. Definitely not a good experience. I got put on to the same website above and downloaded a savegame. Infinitely better. I suggest doing it and replaying. It is really a whole new experience. I was already four hours into the game when I copped on that I didn't like the default import. It was well worth playing over.

I'm really considering it, because at the moment every time I play I just keep feeling out of sync and detached from the mass effect universe, I know it sounds sad but I invested a lot of time in to the game and characters and it doesn't feel right without all previous things I did coming through.

I'm in the exact same boat. The default experience, especially the Geth/Quarian situation, is a ****ing joke without an ME2 save. I played the first 2 on Xbox so no way of importing my saves.

You can effectively transfer your saves from the 360 to your PC. I used this method and it worked just fine. You'll likely need this as well...

Good luck!
