I did something similar to my Shepard, but when I decided that my Soldier-Shepard would clean himself up for ME 3, I honestly did not expect that the end result would end up looking like Yeah, I can see how that could happen. Yet, I do find it kind of shitty - I would have at least wished they had said beforehand "Quick warning: if you have a ME1 looking character beware it might not import the look we will try to fix this problem and it shouldn't cause massive problems but we cannot count on it working perfectly on the day of release" or something like that (even though that would kind of be counter-productive to sell the game, I think it could have helped spread out the backlash so we don't have all this hate on the contents of the game on release and instead it would have allowed those that cared to deal with it beforehand and not risk the chance of huge dissappointment with pre-orders). So honestly I was going to change it anyway so it doesn't bother me personally. Yet, I do find it kind of shitty - I would have at least wished they had said beforehand "Quick warning: if you have a ME1 looking character beware it might not import the look we will try to fix this problem and it shouldn't cause massive problems but we cannot count on it working perfectly on the day of release" or something like that (even though that would kind of be counter-productive to sell the game, I think it could have helped spread out the backlash so we don't have all this hate on the contents of the game on release and instead it would have allowed those that cared to deal with it beforehand and not risk the chance of huge dissappointment with said: In the second game I aged him a bit, shaved his hair and made him look generally worse as in my mind he had just come off dealing with Ashley's death and his now disconnect with everyone he once knew forced into joining Cerberus.Īnd in ME3 I am going to make him look like he picked himself up over the course of ME2 and generally looks more charming with the knowledge he learnt of how people in the Galaxy are. In my game he changed every time relative to the feelings and person he needed to be. I have mine coming Firday or early next week (in the UK) and honestly knowing my shepard might not import properly is fine by me. Just was reaching out to the GB community to see how many others were affected, and how many of those are pretty damn bummed because of it.
#Mass effect 2 download character import Patch
Wasn't the whole thing about Mass Effect that it was SUPPOSED to be a pervasive experience across multiple games? How could Bioware mess up that basic principle? Supposedly a patch is coming, but who knows when that'll come.Īnyway, I'm not saying this has any bearing on my final thoughts on the game, mainly because it has completely stalled out my ability to play the game at all. I'm reading that it has something to do with characters created from Mass Effect 1 that is causing the import issues, but that only makes me more depressed. My Shepard is not 'My Shepard' unless he looks like my Shepard (if that makes any sense). I found a hackneyed 'solution' online, thought about attempting it, but didn't. I turned the game back on, tried to make a close approximation of my Sheps face, but, finding it to not be the same at all, turned off the game again. promptly turned the game off when I was told that my Shepard's face would not import. So with a few hours of downtime, I booted up ME3 for the first time, DL'd all the updates and DLC that I got aaaaaannnnd. I've been drowning in work from school, and words cannot describe how badly I've wanted to play. This morning, I hurriedly found time to get in a Mass Effect 3 play session.
