At first, I was like, "What's the big deal?" Then I thought about how weird it'd be if I couldn't use my old Shepard, and yeah...this kinda sucks. Probably a quick fix later, though, I imagine.

Unfortunately, BioWare has been really quiet on this. That's typically not a good sign. Hopefully, they'll make a statement soon.

Question for the community.

If I can import the Mass 2 character into Mass 3, can I change Shepard into a female and keep the story arch flowing? After playing the Mass 3 demo as a female and hearing what some of my friends told me..I really like the voice actor better. I think the female Shepard just flows and sounds better. I wonder if it would effect relationship issues and those hidden quests and events that pop up based on the character you built if I changed her.

Hopefully they fix it soon. Would suck for people to have to wait to play the game just so they can use their own Shep.

Having the same exact Shepard through all three games was always promoted as a major feature of the trilogy. I can't believe they would allow an issue like this to exist.

Plus we all know Bioware approve to custom character modifications. So why the sudden hiccup?

STONEY44864d ago

The problem is that ME2 introduced facecodes for custom character faces. ME1 didn't, so ME3 can't recognize the face without a facecode. All you have to do is recreate your face while importing to ME3 if you used a custom one from ME1. It's not hard, and it's really not a huge deal.

When my Pre-Order copy arrives, I refuse to play the campaign until this issue is adressed. I'll tide myself over by playing the online component of the game. But if I can't play through Mass Effect 3 with the character that I started the adventure with on the release date of the original game, I'm going to have to wait for Bioware to release an update.

STONEY44864d ago (Edited 4864d ago )

I WANT EVERYONE CONCERNED TO READ THIS AS THERE SEEMS TO BE A MISUNDERSTANDING AMONG MANY PEOPLE:

This is not about save files, it's about custom ME1 faces. You can import your save file just fine. For the faces, there will be no fix, you have to recreate your face at the start of ME3 if it's an ME1 face, it's official from Bioware. If you use default-Shepard or recreated your face anyways in ME2, it isn't an issue at all.

Replying to myself here... But turns out it is going to be patched. To all of 1 people reading this.

Not playing the campaign until they fix this.

anast203d ago

Legion, Zaeed, and Jack are my favorites.

RiseNShine203d ago

To think that Bioware at some point was capable of doing games like this, you see those characters and remember them like good old friends, and now check ME Andromeda, Anthem, Veilguard etc and wonder what the hell happened.

anast203d ago

They lost too much talent.

IAMRealHooman203d ago

some in andromeda are decent, I agree with peebee and Vetra being good companions. Except Liam he's trash tier

anast202d ago

IAMRealHooman202d ago

Based on one narratively fitting ending in Mass Effect 3, Prothean squadmate Javik is highly unlikely to return in the next Mass Effect game.

He was one of my least favorite characters. I wish they would have done the Proths different.
