Salute to you all ( I hope you dont get tired of my postings)

Does Bioware realize that they are in a burning house?
Are Bioware TOP level ppl aware of the fact that they are loosing a huge part of their Fanbase now?

To all the ppl that have a job in the Bioware buildings.. The cleaners, the cantina ppl, the devs, the PR ppl , the window washers , the game writers , the communication managers, the shareholders, all that i forget to mention.

Are you aware that Bioware's reputation and gooing true this hard economic wordl wide mess is gooing to effect you also if you all loose your jobs because Bioware cannot sell games anymore because they are loosing  paying customers.

Personally i loved ME1 and 2 and DA/O and i want BW to stay in business!
But the way its gooing now i fear for  the worst.

BW please realize you really are in a burning house!
I personaly dont think its to late yet.. But you have to change your PR attitude.
You have to let go your "artistic art " and arrogant and stubborn attitude!

Start talking to US we are your customers! We are the ones that buy your games because we Love ore " Loved" them.

Without us you are doomed!!

To all the PR ppl @ BW start NOW to communicate and try to gain our trust and faith and believe in you back!

*Note* also blame yourself Bioware! If you had delivered ME3 to us .....

--> Without the Face Import Bug,
--> Without the EMS troubles ( 5000) needed for best end is not possible without MP.
--> Without the endings so many of your customers complain about.

If you just had delivered a great game to us you wouldnt be in so many problems as you are now!
Then we all would worship you and begging you for more! and as soon you would tell us something new ore DLC the fanbase would pay for DLC and Pre-Order all your games.

Are you really really aware Bioware you are loosing this battle now?

Please turn the tide.
In The Netherlands we have some sayings...

" Gooi de baby niet weg met het waswater"
"Als het kalf verdronken is dempt men de put"

Take Care and i really wish you all the best, and i really hope that in 3 years from now i regained the trust and will start buying your games again.

I know you can! You gave me 400 + hours of pure exitement and Joy in Me1 and Me2.
Dont let it end this way.

Ok i am tired had 3 nightshifts i am just home and i need sleep now.

I agree, though I can certainly relate to the frustration.

Let's try to keep it firm but polite, guys and gals :)

The only artistic input a player has in the game / game company messes with it again. ME2 had the 1 piece armour suits (admititly  that got partiallved by a DLC armour) and then face import here .. ah well.

Hey my post certainly is not intended to be abusive in anyway. ( and i am sure not a retaker!)
I ment it in a very positive way!

I ment i am affraid that BW goes down because so much is happening now on all fronts.

I DO want BW to create more games .. I will never ever forget Me1 and Me2 .

I was gooing to hard times.. (twin sisters died in accident with my father also). I could not concentrate on anything.. i was down and out and could not see any fun anymore.. I just kept thinking and could not sleep.

Then i started ME1 !!!

I  still deeply feel very warm feelings for ME1 and what it did to me!

Me1 helped me gooing to very hard times.
Ill never ever forget that and i feel deeply thankfull to Bioware for creating ME1 ( and later on Me2)

take care
I need to go sleep now.

This may result from an error of face importation, but your ME3 Vhalkyrie is cute.


That's the problem! I didn't want cute! I can't take her seriously.  She was hit with the cute ray.

For people who are getting the default/preset faces on import, deleting the facecode with Gibbed has worked for many people.

For other who have similar, but not the same translations, if you can take your characters further in game to the Normandy and take comparison pics, it would be better. Comparison pics from the CC are just going to be dismissed as different lighting, and not 'in game' representation. Do not compare from the opening sequence - they use a very washed out lighting effect for mood.  It may very well be that you'll be happier with your character under better lighting.

My character looks more 'cute' under these lighting circumstances.  For now I'm going to avoid discussing the obvious implications of whether Bioware thinks this is an improvement.  I'll just leave it as, this is not what I wanted, and I disagree with their artistic vision.  I made her look the way I wanted her to look.

Problem is, they look even more different later. A huge chunk of game must be passed to get character somewhere with neutral lighting.

Yes, I know.  =/  But it makes a stronger argument.  That is my suggestion.

salute You all.

Holger emailed me back.

(See about Holger in the locked tread)
I emailed him/her 2 save games i had ( completed Me1 and Me2)

Holger edited my save games and emailed me the edited savegames he did back.
I dont know how he did it!! but i have to say Holger did it.

Both look OK now!

Ok not 100% but OK ! (90% at least)

Now i can finally start playing!
Thank you so much! Holger!
You did a great job!

Ill post screenshots later OK?
I really need sleep now.

Ps Holger also did a little play with Nicole and emailed me he liked her:)

You all take Care!

My female Shepard imported beautifully, the only difference was her eyebrows were the wrong colour. I suppose I just have a generic FemShep xD

It was the patch not working for my male that made me break down and finally just atttempt at remaking him. I succeded marginally, but this has definitely hurt Bioware's reputation.


Have you tried importing him from other careers if u have any? Worked for me - 1 was accurate as good as can be expected xD

I have several careers for several characters and NONE of the females imported even remotely close to how they looked in the other games.  The only one that did import even remotely closely was the male.

The patch is an epic FAIL... despite BioWare's insistance that it works.  I don't think they even attempted to test it other than to get rid of the error message to make it look like it was fixed.

Given how many people are getting default faces, this is not fixed. Using a 3rd Party tool should not be necessary to delete the facecode. It's gray area to use it with XBox, but PS3 people can't.

That will fix probably half of the remaining issues.  The rest where the translations are not close matches will likely be dismissed.  I hate to be pessimistic, but it doesn't seem likely.  The buck is going to get passed to the modding community. That still screws the console people.

Yeah, I'm sorry I realise this only helps a lucky few and it's not good enough that so many are stuck with impostersheps, don't get me wrong :) I'm going to stick around until this is solved for everyone.

Remaking and remaking Sheps, I find it funny and also in a bit of bad taste that one of Anderson's first lines to you is 'Looking good, Shepard.'

I know, right?  I had a good laugh at that one.  Also on Mars when Kaidan says, "Are you even the same person?"  I didn't have the option to say, "I don't know, Kaidan.  It's the lighting."

No need for you to apologise, it's not your fault - at least you're trying to help people out. :)

If I manage to help anyone I'll be happy. I really care about my shep so much I totally get why people are angry!

I tried the import again post patch, and this was the result:
ME2 on left                                                                                   ME 3 post patch import on right
Image IPB

2 obvious errors: eyebrows are black instead of brown, and the lip shape and size is different, despite being the correctly selected slider value.

But the main issue is that although the features are approximately right, the overall effect is that this isn't my Shepard.  I used my ME2 code in ME1 and the result is almost spot on.

I tried playing with this import, but it's just not my Shepard in the cutscenes, it's too distracting.  It's like they found a look-a-like that matched the brief "blonde with hazel eyes, button nose and pouty lips". So I guess I'm going back to default Sheploo.

Very disappointed with this, and regret pre-ordering the CE.

My first import, I don't know how Kaidan even recognized me. They aged Kaidan appropriately so he looked about 38ish. My Shep reverse aged to look like she was an 18 year old 2nd Lieutenant. Their scenes together were hilarious - he looked like a craddle robber playboy. I also had a chuckle when he said, "We're old soldiers". Speak for yourself, I'm a kid again!

My Shepard was very authorative in the previous games.  I felt she looked the part in cutscenes intimidating people.  This newer, cuter, younger version of my Shepard breaks the immersion for me.

I'm going to be looking at what can be done with modding, and if they can be more accessible to more people, but I have other priorities I need to finish first.

Unfortunately modding is only really going to help PC people.  I know that XBox players can do some editing with Gibbed, but I'm not sure if there are constraints to that.  I haven't heard of any way for this to work for PS3 people.

@Vhalkyrie: Have you tried the different complexions in ME3? I think that's what they are called. There are 3 different ones and they seem to make faces look a bit younger or older depending on which one you choose. I just wonder if you tried that and if that made any difference.

No, I didn't try all the complexion combinations because it takes so long to go through the intro. If there is a way to shortcut it through Gibbed, I'd be glad to give it a try.

Hopefully you can try it and it will make some positive change.

I wish I could mod things on the PS3...

Still it's weird that I paid 75 € for a pre-order collector's edition and now it is up to the community to fix the bugs. Most inconvinient.
