The Face of Evil
So, I get my Mass Effect 3 home, finally, and go to squeeze in a few minutes before bed. And of course, there’s that horrible moment of paranoia as it looks for your saved games from Mass Effect 2. But it found them, and everything was good.
Until face time. His history was there, his memories were there… but where was my ugly, broken-nosed Shepard? Well, apparently:
@jay7stone Some ME2 saves will not be able to import the face-file of your Shepard. You can read the details here: ow.ly/9twvN

There’s a little more detail at Gamefront.
Nice one, BioWare. You managed to make a bug that specifically targets the people who presumably care about their character’s face the most. I didn’t really expect to mind, but I tried playing with default-handsome-face and even an attempt at recreating my Shepard from memory, and both were horrible and wrong. So I’m waiting. Hopefully, not for long.
Or, I guess I could do this. Argh.
UPDATE: I did that.
I have my face back and all is right with the world. Only took an hour. #me3 twitter.com/TomCharman/sta…
