How to find your face code in the original “Mass Effect” trilogy
It seems obvious, but let’s clarify first You will need to visit the old mass effect save In order to import the appearance of your shepherd from these games into the legendary version. Therefore, first remove the dust of PS3/Xbox 360/late 2000s gaming PC, and then load the save file containing the Shepherd to be used.
Go to the Squad menu and look at the upper left corner.You should see a file called Identity code: A string of numbers and letters, the same as the IP address. This 36-character code contains detailed information about your shepherd’s unique physical appearance. Copy it completely, and then double check to make sure it is good.
What if you want to extract facial expressions from Mass Effect 1
The above method applies to the original releases of Mass Effect 2 and Mass Effect 3.
However, if the Shepherd face to be imported is saved from the old Mass Effect 1, some additional steps are required. This is because the identity code (renamed to the legendary face code) was not introduced until ME2. However, as long as you have a copy of the original Mass Effect 2 on the same system, you can still keep the face code.
Start a new game in ME2 and select when the option appears Import ME1 characters. The ME1 Shep you choose will be imported into the character customization screen of ME2, and the game will generate an identity code for them. Copy it down, and then continue the above operation.
How to import facial codes into Mass Effect Legends
Now that you have copied the old face code, now is the time Launch Mass Effect Legend.
Start a new game and choose Enter new ID. Before getting into the field of customization, you need to make some choices in terms of background stories, character classes, etc. Just make sure to select the same gender as the Shep you want to copy.
Once you enter Character appearance Section, you should see a simple text box at the bottom of the screen Code. Copy the 36-character ID code you got from the old save, and you should see a familiar face reconstructed.
Limitations and possibilities of facial password systems
If you copied the code correctly, you should copy Shepherd’s facial structure (including skin tone, eye and hair color, etc.).
However, please keep in mind that the Legendary Edition is designed as a graphical upgrade. Not only does everything look at least a little different, but there are more choices in character creation than before, so some nuances may be lost. The imported faces should be very close, but you may still need to adjust some content to make them look like how you remember them.
In addition, it is important to know that only Shepherd’s appearance can be preserved. In any case, they will become a completely new version of the character. In terms of statistics, alignment, relationship values, etc., they are blank.
However, the main benefit of all of this is that you can use other people’s facial codes to import other people’s Shepherd designs. Since the original trilogy came out, fans of the series have been sharing their identity codes. With the release of the legendary edition, it seems likely that people will see the rise of people sharing their unique shepherd works with the world.
