Can i import my mass effect 2 save files from steam into mass effect 3?
-
My collectors edition box for Mass Effect 3 just came in today. I've installed it and tried to play...but there is a problem. I can't import my saves. I played Mass Effect 2 a long time ago. I purchased it through steam. I found my save files for my characters through the directory Rick/documents/bioware/Mass Effect 2/save or something like that. I got a new computer because my old one (on which the files were saved) wouldn't be able to handle ME3. I attacked these files to an email to myself. I downloaded them on my new computer and placed them in the directory Rick/documents/bioware/mass effect 3/saves or something close. My game couldn't find my character! Now, I played Mass Effect 2 on steam, but for #3 i have a hard disk that i got in the collectors edition pack--NOT steam. Is it that the steam version of me2 files cannot interact with my me3 ones? Or is it because my me2 files originated from a different computer? Would accessing my steam account and installing mass effect 2 to get fresh files from the cloud sync allow me3 to import my character? Is anyone else having an issue like this?

Answer:
It's looking for the Mass Effect 2 save folder. It won't recognize them if you put them in your ME3 save folder. I would recreate the Mass Effect 2 folder structure that you have listed and dump your saves in there. It should then pick them up fine. Be aware there is a bug with ME3 and importing saves. If you created a custom face for your Shepard in ME1 and brought it into ME2, a face code is not generated. So when you bring that character into ME3 it will not be able to create the custom face. You will either have to use the default Shep or create a new one. If you used the default Shepard face to begin with, you won't have to worry. Or if the character you had in ME2 with a custom face was created inside of that game and not imported. In that case the face code will be recognized.
