 Just something to think about. It would be cool if Bioware could take some of the Hawkes us players have created and use them as character in DAI. Villain, informant, bartender, etc. Obviously not as Hawke but just as someone in the story or just passer by. Sky is the only limit for the ideas.

Different engine. Can`t import from one engine to another.

 Sure, they can be imported. But they then need to be tweaked and readjusted. Better than starting from absolute scratch, but not "production ready."

Why do you think so many people complained about how Allistair and Zevran looked? They tried to import their faces directly from DA:O and they looked wrong, so they took them under the knife.
That was a import from the same engine.

An import to a totally different engine would make even the generic, basic Hawke look like this:

There's no technical reason that has to be the case. A game engine isn't some magical black box whose inner workings are a mystery to all. All that Bioware would need to do is write a working import algorithm, which, while not as trivial as it sounds, is also not rocket science.

It is highly unlikely that there is a 1:1 conversion rate that such an algorithm could work off of. In addition, there is higher graphic fidelity, including color pallets, lighting, 3D modeling, etc. that can't be properly accounted for as a blanket procedure.

I'd say they could put a ton of effort into it to make it passable, but many people would complain their Hawke didn't come out right... and all of this being for a bit of a cheap parlor trick to have a random NPC appear like your previous character. Not a great cost-to-benefit ratio there.

So it's true then? The new Frostbite engine is going to make all save imports useless?

No. Just face imports.

[Lluthren]

So it would be the ME3 situation where some had to readjust shepard's face, because it didn't import properly?

It would be a feature I wouldn't mind seeing in another game where the character creator allows you to create truly unique characters however in the Dragon Age series unless you are using mods or create a truly hideous character implementing such a feature in Dragon Age 3 would go unnoticed as there really isn't all that much you can do with the character creator, odds are they would just be indistinguishable from the rest of the NPCs that populate the world.

Of course I wouldn't object to the idea if it were to become a feature of DA3 however I don't think it would really have any effect on me whatsoever.
