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.

^ Agreed. =/

This is a reason I don't buy the most expensive versions, such as collector editions... it's bad enough paying £40 for the regular version and not have it work properly - and then have the people fail to fix it.

The cynic in me is telling me all the delays in them 'doing' something about the problems was a ploy to get past the time period in which you can return a faulty product... then they still fail to fix the issue(s), lol.

It's a pity BioWare don't seem to realise that at the end of the day the only losers will be them... gamers will just move on eventually and away from BioWare, they however will lose fans and future sales.

GOTY editions are superior to collector's or regular editions. Half the price, includes a year worth of patches, and often a few DLCs thrown in for free.  I feel like a sucker pre-ordering.

Alright, here's my fuel to the fire.  This is from the 360 version.  I played as this character in ME1 and ME2.  I don't remember if I changed anything after the import into ME2.  The import into ME3 given to me is nowhere near close to looking like the character I played in previous games.  I don't know how to do any of the fancy gibbed file transfer modifications to retrieve my prior character, nor do I feel comfortable with modding my save file.  The patch did not fix my issue - it didn't actually do anything for me. 


Image IPB

I have no confidence that Bioware will fix this issue and no confidence in their abilities to fix this even if they did want to.  I did end up creating my own femshep by comparing to pictures I took of my ME2 femshep on my phone.  I did get something that at least resembled my femshep, but it's like an 80% facsimile.  I did have to abandon this hair style because in ME3 this hair style looks like femshep is balding on the left side.  With the new hair style I picked (all the way right on the slider), there is a strand of hair that is clipping through her forehead that I did not notice during character creation and now have no opportunity to fix it.  There is literally a strand of hair that enters the left side of her forehead and exits out the right side with a 3 inch gap between the entry and exit point.  I can't take my eyes off this gap while watching the cutscenes. I just stare at the ineptitude of the Bioware design crew.

What the hell is this ****?

I go and see if there were any updates in the face issue thread, and he just locks it down?
**** it, I'm out of here.

On second thought the robot dog and the N7 hoodie really enriched the gameplay.

Seriously now... I got the first two games (with perfectly working face editor) as Steam sales and I felt obliged to support the developer of these great games with the full price for once. Oh, if only I had known.

Last time I made that mistake.

Yours is showing a default Shepard preset, so deleting the code might help you.  As you say, it should not be necessary for you to do with 3rd party tools.  It's still broken.  They should fix it for the sake of console users.

Yeah, I made the mistake of pre-ordering the CE, too. Never again. Though at least I got the soundtrack, which I've been enjoying and I was glad to have the hoodie. I put it on my femShep as soon as possible so I wouldn't be constantly annoyed by her new body.

Mine does exactly the same thing.. but you can't delete the code on 360 as far as I know.

You have to copy the save file with a usb drive, edit on PC and copy it back to 360.  I don't know the exact steps because I don't have one, but that is what I've heard.

What an utterly sorry state of affairs. Perhaps lillitheris you could modify the OP to include a FAQ that would tell new people experiencing problems importing what the outstanding issues are. Maybe include a walkthrough for using Gibbed to delete erroneous facecodes generated in ME2. I know without the help I received in the old sticky I probably would've given up on the game by now.

lol if they're not going to differentiate story conclusions, they're not going to put much effort into character differentiation visuals.

Those of you who are still getting the default preset Shepards after the patch should contact EA support.  This isn't the issue I am having so they won't address it.

Gibbed's save editor may be employed to delete face codes from XBox 360 Mass Effect 3 save files.

Oh, wait, is it the ME2 or ME3 version I need?

You need the ME2 version.  Copy your ME2 save game to usb, load your ME2 saved game in Gibbed, delete the face code, make a new save.  Don't overwrite just in case something goes wrong. Copy that to your 360, then import with ME3.

The face code is in Squad -> Player -> Face Code

Min still looks quite a bit odd, specially any time she frowns, but that seems to be an overall issue with how custom faces work. Ergh.

I decided to start properly playign already.

Cool, thx.

How does deleting the code work tho', I'd have thought it'd mess it up completely since there'd be nothing for ME3 to import, lol.

Well that is what they 'fixed'.  Except certain cases people had a face code because they briefly went into customize screen.  Deleting the facecode forces ME3 rebuild from the face data, which should have been the option used in any case.

Woah woah woah.  ^^ THIS is a preset?!  That looks the same as my ME3 shep imported from ME2.  So does that mean my import failed too and defaulted to a preset?

Or do all blonde ME3 sheps look the same?

PS, I'm on PC, and this is an ME2 fresh creation, imported into ME3.  No ME1.

Yes, that is a preset. If you created it fresh in ME2, then you already had a facecode. If it's still showing a preset, then ME3 doesn't know how to translate it and gave you a default. Hoping you won't notice because all blondes look the same. :P

That was a joke.

Seriously, yours doesn't look like the preset to me, but a lower resolution version of the ME2.  You probably can improve it with some tricks, but it depends on how much you want to invest into it.

Does this method work for PC ME3 too?
