Mass Effect 3 - Part 5

[Tanin]

I can't keep my face??? Well damn... maybe I should just cancel my pre-order and wait for it to be resolved!!

*ponders*

 

[Soapy]

I don't really see what the fuss is over. You could always remake them.

 

[eternalinferno]

I wonder when the reviews will start coming in

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, it's not that big of deal or anything, just kind of annoyance. Well, a little disappointed, too; I'd hope to keep my custom Shepard all the way thorough.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I might not be understanding the issue.

Are people trying to import ME1 characters straight to ME3? Skipping ME2?

No, I think it's the fact that people that created a custom Shepard in ME1 are having issues importing it to ME3, period, regardless of if they imported that character to ME2.

 

[ChrisBaleBatman]

Oh, okay. I see.

That's a little messed up, actually. I know there are quite alot of people that are attached to they're Shepard, so I can see how people would be pissed about it.

 

[SpideyVille]

I'm assuming this is only an issue for 360 owners, since PS3 never had the first ME.

I know I had to recreate the face for the demo and I noticed there was a guy with the same face but a lighter skin tone. That bothered me more.

 

[Tron Bonne]

Yeah, I guess it would only apply to 360 owners. I also think that you customize a different Shep for multiplayer, too. I don't know for sure, though, didn't download the demo, but seems like I heard that.

 

[Donut]

I have always used default Shep. So no problem for me

 

[Nathan]

Well, good for you.

 

[Tron Bonne]

I tried using default Shepard at first, since I usually don't fool with customization, but his voice acting was awful enough that I switched to FemShep. Never looked back. Apparently, the Male VO got better in the second game, but at that point I didn't really care that much, and I'd grown use to my custom.

 

[Speedball]

Wait... I'm confused. If I used my Shepard from ME1 in ME2, and want to continue their story in ME3, I have to remake the face? Or is it transferring over?

 

[Matt]

Well ladies and gents....I will be finishing up ME2 in a few hours. This is it for me, I suppose. I am not the type to just fly through games in a day, so I will see you guys in a week or two.

Remember, everyone use spoiler tags! People should be able to share their experiences as they play through the game without having it spoiled for them!

If anyone posts untagged spoilers, PM the moderator Hunter Rider. He doesn't play this particular series and he will be glad to help you out, edit the post, warn the poster, etc.

 

[Upset Spideyfan]

Re-posting this since it seems relevant again

Apparently according to this German site, the day one patch will fix the face import issue in addition to making multiplayer unlocks easier:

PC digital copies are going to already have the patch loaded in.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Sounds good. I don't think I'll actually be playing ME 3 on day one anyway (still got 2 more playthroughs of ME 2 to get done), so it looks like everything should be patched and in order by the time I get to it.

Also here's a Twitter feed of Emily Wong covering the beginnings of the attack.

edit: Kind of nice touch that they think the Reaper ships are Geth.

 

[Matt]

One more reminder an then this mod is out.

You guys can moderate yourselves. If you seem someone post an untagged spoiler and you've already beaten the game, just drop them a friendly reminder. Odds are they just got lost in the excitment of completion and will gladly edit their own post. If they don't edit it or have logged off, then you should PM Hunter or use the report button.

I know I'm being very picky about spoilers, but I feel like with the particular nature of this franchise we've all spent years building up to this point in the story and in many ways shaped our own story. No one should have the conclusion to their story ruined by an untagged spoiler.

Matt, out.

I gotta say before I leave the thread, this is come of the coolest viral marketing that I've ever seen. I'm usually not big on viral and twitter marketing, but the way this is written....It's compelling. It actually feels like there is a real panic following the arrival. VERY cool.

Fem Shep CGI Trailer

In case it hasn't been posted yet.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

I'm thinking of adding another save to my list in ME 2 with the default femShep face. I like that they're actually using her in the marketing this time around.

 

[Master Chief]

They think it's geth coz the council said Sovereign was a geth ship lol, awesome.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

Yep. The cover-up continues. Seriously, I find it harder and harder to be civil to the Council with Paragon Sheps the more I play ME 2. If there's an option to just put a bullet in all three of their stupid heads in ME 3, I'd totally have my Renegade Shep do it.

 

[Speedball]

I find the council to be no different than the Ministry of Magic in Harry Potter and the Jedi Council in the Star Wars PT. When they all die, it really doesn't make me sad. It's because of their own stupidity and pride which brings their downfall, and they deserve it. If the Council is threatened in ME3, then I will probably let them die again, even Udina. I don't have time for moneygrubbing bureaucrats who would rather talk than actually get the job done, the same can be said for how I feel about the US.

Yeah, first thing I'm going to do when it comes tomorrow is flip the cover art around to give FemShep her due (also because ManShep is an impostor).

 

[Master Chief]

I'm keeping up with that twitter feed, I hope Wong doesn't get ganked by husks.
