So if you start a new campaign with a mass effect 2 save you can't change the face? can someone please answer this question?

Nope you're given 1 chance to change the face and class at the beginning

 

[.GqueB.]

Huh? What happened? I did the same and saved everyone. I made sure I did everything before activating the IFF though. I'm hoping 3 rewards you for grinding most of the side missions just like 2 did.

I made the mistake of triggering the relay before I finished all the sidequests. So if you take too long to go through, your entire crew gets liquified basically (not the main characters mind you). All the ones who got taken.

Well, it made sense in ME2 though if you think about it.

"Hey guys, our entire crew was abducted, they're going to get killed if we don't go save them." - Shepard

*Goes spending 10 hours doing N7 missions and other sidequests*

Yea but the urgency wasn't there. Like at all. The game gave me the feeling that everything was fine. Not to mention NOTHING else in the game was treated with such urgency. I've waited to do story missions plenty of times with no consequence. Then aaaaaaall of sudden they introduce this invisible timer. If you're gonna do something like that be consistent.

Well, it's not exact, but ME3 did get close to my characters face. I had to do about a minute or two of tweaking and I had my exact shep from ME2.

 

[Manos: The Hans of Fate]

This is what I am noticing early on, what was missing in 2, how urgent everything feels. The sidequests are starting to pop up for me now that I'm a few hours in, but they feel exactly as they should, side quests. The real hook is the main story, knowing how important it is to save the galaxy and all that good stuff.

Yeah a really good example is the opening up of the Citadel after your first visit

Spoiler

you can clearly see the signs of conflict, and I love the refugee camps using cargo containers. You can tell the galaxy is fucked, even with The Citadel being insular to a large extent

 

[Kem0sabe]

Tsk, Tsk, you shouldnt be highlighting spoilers, gona get your self spoilered

No it´s not true, but would be fun if it was no? Gota keep all options open Bioware

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Argh those black boxes are so appealing. Spoiled lots for myself Still not loads, but particularly something about my favourite character.

I'm a fucking idiot

My femshep has turned into a terrible two-face Looks great sometimes, and god awful with poor lighting. It's driving me crazy

I know it's not true lol, but you don't talk about my Ash like that hear!?

 

[MasterShotgun]

The actual first line that comes out of her mouth when you meet her is

Spoiler

"Hurr durr, EDI, your voice is so attractive *Blush* *giggle*"

or something like that.

That didn't ring some bells? I was laughing at how silly and obvious that comment was.

I just chalked it up as a joke or something. I had one thing on my mind dammit.

Oh well, I guess I'll resort back to Miranda. I would jump ship to Tali, but I'm saving that for another playthrough.

 

[SpudBud]

I gotta say, the crew interaction in this game is the best in the series.

 

[thetrin]

I had to recreate from scratch, because I've been using the same Shep since ME1, and I'm surprised I managed to recreate his face to a large extent. His eyes are slightly different, but I was pretty surprised it worked out so well.

[Deadstar]

It is absolutely mind boggling that I can't import my ME1 face in ME3. How could Bioware overlook this issue? I tried recreating my dude but he just didn't look the same. It felt so awkward to play as some new random guy. I don't want to go to all the trouble of trying the fix in the op so I hope they patch the game. It's ridiculous.

 

[BenjaminBirdie]

Did the exact same thing with the exact same result. Eyes are a little weird but everything else is perfect.

 

[Acquiescence]

George Stobbart is supposed to have a penchant for picking up random shiny objects, not for highlighting black rectangular boxes! Control yourself man.

 

[shinobi602]

Definitely agree there.

 

[Tess3ract]

I spoil the whole game for myself because it's not about what happens in a bioware game, it's getting there.

 

[Elginer]

Graphically the game is ok, a lot of shitty textures but the artistic direction is spot on.

One thing, graphics wise, that i can´t let go tho, and this applies to most games these days... why the fucking compression on the videos? In this day and age of glorious HD, why do we have to put up with very poor quality FMV?

That was my first thought as well to some of the FMV I first saw. I was like really, you need to compress this shit on PC. DAMMIT!

 

[Kem0sabe]

I gotta say, the crew interaction in this game is the best in the series.

In mission companion banter is amazing so far, i hope Javik gets to play the condescending dick role throughout the game.

 

[Solo]

I tend to disagree. With Bioware, its about the destination, not the journey.

 

[EatChildren]

This game is pretty good I guess.

 

[shinobi602]

I tend to disagree. With Bioware, its about the destination, not the journey.

Well I disagree with both of you, it's both.

 

[ScreenSplitter]

Have to disagree.

Anyway, left the ending completely open, as most of it.

 

[zethren]

Where is the console Collectors Edition soundtrack download code? I can't fucking find it anywhere.

Quoted for a new page. Anyone?

 

[NaturalHigh]

How often are you guys using LT to scan systems for war assets? Does it scan the whole system or is it more of a proximity type thing?

Yes...I am afraid to press it.

 

[Red Blaster]

I gotta say, the crew interaction in this game is the best in the series.

On missions or the Normandy? I'd probably agree with the former and argue that the latter has the least in the series :|

Ashley/Kaiden are on the level of the ME2 DLC characters.

Don't tell me that :_(

Can we delete some of these damned Mass Effect threads. There are four. I keep popping into the spoiler thread by mistake.

Don't you just log into your Origin account, and when you go to the Bioware Social page, it's there?

That's on you, man

 

[Feature]

Well, it's not exact, but ME3 did get close to my characters face. I had to do about a minute or two of tweaking and I had my exact shep from ME2.

Thing is I wanted to download a ME2 save and edit it to the same values as my PS3 save. but I don't want someone elses lame sheppard.

 

[Red Blaster]

Don't tell me that :_(

*goes to talk to them*

"Hey commander, that thing you did last mission was tough blah blah blah"

"I know Ash/Kaiden; good to have you on board"

"We'll defeat the Reapers blah blah blah"

"Talk to you later"

[Muffdraul]

I pressed it once. Nothing happened. Good or bad.

But yes it was scary and I may never press it again!

You need to in order to finish some sidequests.

[Red Blaster]

You do have a few actual interactions with them but it's not as often as the rest of the crew. I think it's clear Bioware didn't wanna do lines for both characters.

The hell? Is this after

Spoiler

they get out of the hospital?

Because they have a lot to say while they're

Spoiler

on bedrest

.

 

[Dennis]

But I remember playing ME2 on PC and the graphics looked much better. Why do the graphics look shit on this game?

 

[Solo]

That's kind of uggo, Dennis. Clean, but uggo.

 

[Derrick01]

That kind of dialogue is on almost every member of the crew most of the time. But like you said there are times when there will be actual scenes with every one of them.

I do like that everyone has something new to say a lot of the time. If they're going the Zaeed route like they have been in this game, it's better than them saying the same thing for hours on end until you reach the point where there's an actual interaction.

Let's just say Bioware blew their load on that part.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Man, I'm fixing my FOV as soon as I get home.

Really messes up my depth of field for some reason... or maybe all the scenes just aren't created for this FOV at all.

[shinobi602]

Let's just say Bioware blew their load on that part.

I'll have to see this for myself. You sure they don't hang out on the Citadel like all the rest of the crewmates? You can have conversations with your crewmates pretty often on the Citadel after you complete certain missions.

 

[Dennis]

That's kind of uggo, Dennis. Clean, but uggo.

Vega can't believe this shit.

 

[Broder Salsa]

Believe harder, Vega, that's an order.

 

[Solo]

lol

 

[rozay]

Vega can't believe this shit.

THIS IS LOCO would be a good caption

 

[LosDaddie]

So, if I've been using the same Shepard since ME1, then I'm going to have to recreate his face in ME3? Is that correct? ME3 doesn't do the simple save import like ME2 did?

 

[Kem0sabe]

So out of character having

Calling me "Loco" all the time.

They could have done so much better with Vega. Machete guy anyone? Forgot the name damnit!
