This morning, I hurriedly found time to get in a Mass Effect 3 play session. I've been drowning in work from school, and words cannot describe how badly I've wanted to play.
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... promptly turned the game off when I was told that my Shepard's face would not import. 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. I found a hackneyed 'solution' online, thought about attempting it, but didn't.
I am seriously depressed. My Shepard is not 'My Shepard' unless he looks like my Shepard (if that makes any sense). 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. 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...
Anyway, 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. 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.
