Mass Effect 3 May Require You to Rebuild Shepard - Xbox 360 News at IGN

IGN is receiving reports from several readers that Mass Effect 3's character import system requires them to rebuild Commander Shepard's face.

Players who have used the same Commander Shepard since Mass Effect 1 are apparently encountering the problem. If you built a Commander Shepard in the first Mass Effect and played through Mass Effect 2 without modifying the character, Mass Effect 3 will restore him to the default settings. Players who modified their character at all in Mass Effect 2 seem to be uneffected.

Importing a Character in Mass Effect 3

On Twitter, Mass Effect producer Michael Gamble confirmed the issue, and we've reached out to EA to find out if a fix is planned. This is the second issue with character importing reported today, coming shortly after the news that Mass Effect 2 cloud saves will not work with Mass Effect 3.

One thing that is irritating is that the importer won't accept custom characters' appearances that started in the first game. I had to rebuild my appearance for this one to as close as I could to what it used to be.

Yeah just posted an article on that...this is a second pretty big "whoops didn't look into that" for a bioware developer that's normally very meticulous about even some of the smallest details of their games



...then again it reeks a bit of EA's "it doesn't matter, just get it out there now for $$$$$$!" behavior. Maybe that partnership was a bad idea

(who am I kidding, EA will probably just eventually end up gutting them and using bioware as little more than a brand name for sales)

I ended up getting pretty close to my original- just added a beard and a little more hair to make him seem more weary.

Picked this up last night.

Did anyone have to bump the difficulty up when loading your saved character. I was straight up murdering people on default.

na, I will play it at default level the first time through to finish the game. I did notice that when you get a little bit further the enemies get a lot tougher even when you have leveled up.

Seems like that's how it's been throughout the series.

The first and second ME games seemed really easy at the outset, and got pretty difficult at the end.

Yeah, I am really enjoying the script this year. The whole last stand for humanity and the world theme adds so much to this edition imo.

I'm just scoping out who Shepard is going to bone in this game. So far I'm leaning toward the news media chick that I let come aboard the Normandy.

HA.....I have spent a lot of time thinking about that as well.....seems like it is a big factor in this game. I think my chances with the reporter are gone, since I acidentally kicked her off the ship lol. The little brit chick is giving me some major looks lately and I am tryin to get her cornered in my stateroom :) It will just add another to the love triangle I got going on the Normandy
