Three Sheps out of my five ME2-finishers I have compared to different methods of import.
#1, a Bolo Yeung lookalike. YAML made him a bit pudgier, but that fit in well with the idea that he spent six months in comfortable non-wartime conditions. Eye colour restored, haircut changed to reflect passage of time, hair colour restored and he was good to go. Post-patch ME3 imports him as he was in ME2, but also changes hair colour to black from brown and eye colour to brown from green.
#2, Olivia Wilde lookalike. YAML made her look like she was poorly molded out of plasticine (with the same haircut/eye/makeup reset), so I took to the knife and started cutting. Totally different face as a result, more reminiscent of Kyra from Chronicles of Riddick. Not a bad tradeoff, but not the best. My hope was for the patch. Lo and behold... nothing changed. Still looks like she was stung in the face by a score of bees, but at least her hair colour and eye colour... were reset to a different wrong value than via YAML. Niiice job breaking it, guys.
#3. Control test. Doom Guy lookalike. He was made IN ME2 to test out the no-import playthrough. I still had his facecode lying around, so I compared what he looks like if imported (sorta the same, except for the wrong hair colour and eye colour AGAIN) and if code copy-pasted (perfectly identical to ME2).
Then I got curious, I still had two Sheps I did not YAML. It was interesting to try and see what the patch did to THEM.
#4, a FemShep, got her face twisted out of proportions, coming off looking like a reprobate fresh off the extras scene in Mad Max, part of the gibbering mutant horde of degenerates. No offense to gibbering degenerates intended, of course.
#5, a DudeShep looking sorta like Adrien Brody on a bad hair day. Came out looking like he was subjected to the HeadCrusher Head Vise ®, pat. pend. - the face was largely intact, but squeezed from the sides.
Final count? YAML went 1:1 on good/bad (I will try to do it to the other two ME1-starts), patch went 2:3 on good-bad, and both goods were guys. This is real BAD, people. REAL BAD.
Will post pics once I get ME3 to stop crashing while using ANY screen capture software.
