So, to summarise what's happened so far, we get an issue where characters do not import correctly, wait a full month for a patch to come out, find that it simply does not work for everyone, then get told that this is because of 'improvements in things like shaders, lighting, textures, etc', which, quite frankly, many examples posted, with pictures, would seem to deny, as they show Shepards which look BETTER in ME2 than in ME3 and/or show differences which appear to have nothing to do with those 'improvements', and also get told that, 'if there are small details you want to adjust, remember you can adjust your faces after importing before you start playing the game', which ignores that there are options that can be chosen for ME1/ME2 Shepards which CANNOT be chosen for ME3 Shepards and DO NOT IMPORT, even after this patch, even though, for some of them, you can use a third party piece of software (Gibbed save editor) to get them back, and then the o0fficial 356-page stickied thread about this issue is locked and unstickied as if this issue is now solved.
You know, due to the way there has been a distinct lack of communication during this whole thing, to the extent where it looked like the official stickied thread was being studiously ignored, except for a few platitudes being posted by people who point-blank refused to answer any real questions regarding this issue, even such answers as 'I don't know' or 'sorry, I can't answer that', I thought my opinion of EAs handling of this had already gone as low as it could possibly go.
I was wrong.
They made an artistic choice to make your Shepard from ME1 unreproduceable in ME3, perhaps as some nod to absurdism, dadaism, or some other ism. If we were smarter, we would totally get it. Regardless, we should respect their artistic choice to make ME3 Shepard completely different from the previous incarnations of Shepard. You get this sort of thing with Art. Would you expect Van Gogh to paint the same subject twice? Or Monet? Would you expect a comic book artist to draw a character the same way in every panel? Would you expect a filmmaker to use the same actors for the same roles in a multi-story franchise? We haven't been given an import glitch, we've been given an opportunity to "reimagine" our Shepard as something new. Now if only they'd given us red, green, and blue skin tones...
