Mass Effect 3 Hair Mods

I just came home with my brand new ME3 and noticed my ME2 female player character's 'imported face'. What the hell, since when did my Jane dye her hair? The face also looked a lot duller than it was in ME1 and ME2.So, in hopes of finding some changes made to the ME3 original femshep face model, I started the tedious task to compare all the face values of ME3 and ME1 (ME1 because it is way faster to get to the facial reconstruction than in ME2). ME3 values were easy to catch as it generates the face code, but in ME1 I simply counted the numbers.My result dissappointed me.

The original femshep face model values really are the same in Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 3. There are no significant differences made to the sliders. For example, all nose, mouth, jaw, eyes and head sliders are the same in ME1 and ME2. There could be some error in this laborous research I did, but I shouldn't be completely mistaken on this.I also checked the ME2 default code and compared it to ME3's.

The result really is the same. As to why the hair color is changed in the import seems to be a bug or inconsistency between the games. If you slide the hair color slider to different directions, one can see that for some reason the codes don't follow up each other rationally (normally 1,2,3.9,A,B,C.). The game interprets the code directly, and gives Shepard blond hair because what code was a redhead color in Mass Effect 1 and 2, is blond in ME3.I'd be more than happy if BioWare could bring the REAL femshep back to Mass Effect 3 somehow! For now I will stick to the male model since I am really dissappointed with the new default femshep face and the years have not been kind to the old default one.It's a damn shame.EDIT: I played around a while with the face generator, and came up with this configuration. I thought I'd share it, if someone wants something more close to the familiar ME1 and ME2 femshep we used to have.741.8AG.G11.W81.EA1.12P.1GG.111.G76.5J3.6G5.371Now enough with this, I go playEdited by Taistelukala, 24 March 2012 - 09:35 AM.
