For future reference, according to this, PS4 save support was added in version 1.13.0. The video below is supposed to show how to use it. I didn't watch the whole thing because I don't have a console, so I don't know how straight-forward (or not) it might be. Does it discuss in what you have seen how to fix eyebrows? My Male Shep that I had to recreate as he wouldn't transfer from 2 to 3 I am mostly happy with but his eyebrows are way too dark, they look like they were done with a black maker pen. I just need to lighten the eyebrow colour. I found a save editor guide for femshep, but maybe it'll help: www.nexusmods.com/masseffectlegendaryedition/mods/112?tab=descriptionYou could also start a new Shepard with the same face code as the one you want to change, but with the correct eyebrow color. Then open that temporary Shepard's first save in the save editor and see what value it shows for the eyebrow color. Then just edit that value for your real Shepard.

come now falling for one of your subordinates and then leaving him behind on Virmire is half the fun. Better yet, romance someone in ME2 only to have he/she die during the suicide mission, then in ME3 romance whoever without giving a second thought to the one that was killed. excellent. How about a full Tali romance (2 & 3) and then siding with the Geth. I held off doing that particular dialogue exploration hoping someone else would do it and post a vid, but no. Someone on one of the forums asked if there were any changes if you did that, so I loaded a save and did it. You get condolences from Joker and that's about it. I didn't bother saving that one.

On my last trilogy run, I realized I needed the romance trophy for ME2. I romanced the prize, then he took one for the team when he volunteered for the vent. In ME3, she romanced Samantha. My femshep killed a prize that wasn't really a prize and gained a better prize in the form of Traynor. excellent.

It's been so long since I did a playthrough sacrificing Ashley, I made a point of it to do so in the interactive comic prior to ME2 so I could remember Kaiden making it that far was like.

An important point one person I talked to about these twitter infographic is how much different the survival ratio is for Wrex. Now, that could be because all the players are well informed or ... it's mostly old players that knew exactly what to do to keep Wrex alive by now. Now, I'm not saying that all the people who saved Wrex are old players, but it is a rather curious coincidence how close a percentage is the survival of Wrex and the curing of the genophage. One would almost call it intentional. Correlation does not mean causation, of course, but it is an interesting bit of data, nonetheless.

I mean, it’s not like it was that difficult to keep Wrex alive, in all honestly, since you just need to do his personal quest. I think that between old players (but there are more then a few that killed him or didn’t support curing the Genophage, if I recall), the trilogy being old and some plot points being already known by new fans, and the fact that players are more used to play open world games and explore side content without jumping straight in the main quest, gives the high percentage in saving him this time around.

It's been so long since I did a playthrough sacrificing Ashley, I made a point of it to do so in the interactive comic prior to ME2 so I could remember Kaiden making it that far was like. Yeah it's been a while since I chose t osacrifice Ashley though it's no tbecause I prefer one over the other as I like both Kaidan and Ashley. I mostly pick based on m yShep's class and how I plan to spec them. For example if I'm planning on a moer power based Shep who relies moer on powers than guns then I'll sacrifice Kaidan. If I'm planning on a Shep hat'll be relying moer on their guns then Ash gets blown up. I'm in ME2 onmy second playthroug hof the LE but on both occasions so far I've sacrificed Kaidan. But that's mainly because m yfors tplaythrough I was an Adept and on this one I'm an Engineer. Given my next Shep is going to be an Infiltrator she'll probably sacrifice Ash as I'm thinking her to be moer of a gun specialist.

I actually have a theory why so many did the "best of all worlds" compared to back in 2013 - simply put, a sizeable portion of the players back then would have been PS players who never had been able to play ME1 and thus didn't have enough paragon/renegade points to do the happily ever after choices in ME3, while there also would have been a lot of players in general who picked up ME3 without playing the previous games (again leading to no happy happy ending). With MELE the whole trilogy was released at once, making it likely that any new players probably played all games (and thus earning enough points). Also lastly to bear in mind, back when the trilogy was released it was released new for everyone, meaning people would be more prone to make "mistakes", while with MELE the game has been out a long time and most of us have played the game to death and know exactly how to get the results we want.

Not to mention that a lot of players of MELE are probably already familiar with the trilogy and play "the perfect playthrough" to start with.
That was the case for me, too. I came back to the trilogy with MELE after a lot of playthroughs of the OT and then a couple of years pause. So my first Shepard with MELE was my "canon" Shep, who does all the things that lead to a good outcome. I am sure I am not alone in this, so that might impact the statistics as well.
BTW, they did show favorite squad mates from ME1 but I would have actually been interested to see a ranking of romances for all the applicable characters. It's been discussed a lot throughout the years what the number on this might be (especially here), so it would have been great to get some numbers now. But I guess BW might have thought that would be to divisive.
Also, nice little tidbit in these statistics: Jacob is #2 in surviving the suicide mission. That may sound like a compliment at first but if you think about it, it'sprobably just that no one ever thought to give him any kind of leadership role, so he was just never exposed to danger there. Oh Jacob, you are too boring to die even.

Yeah I think my Hone yShepard who I played in m yfirs trun of the LE was pretty close to wha tI would cal canon choices given she didn't engage in the final missions and all tha tunti lshe felt she and her team were both ready to go in and live with the consequences. The Shep I'm playing now isn't anything like that though about the only thing my second Shep has in common with my first is that he is a paragon but unlike Honey doesn't have the patience to wait until everyone is ready. He's more like if a plan is in place then lets get it done kind of guy. Which is why there's a chance that he'll be suffering a few casualties on his team in this playthrough.

If I recall, a large number of imported saves did so with Wrex dead. Something like 60%? It was crazy. Which, I think, was also why the default for ME2 was Wrex dead.

Having Wrex being dead by default for players with no import also made sense because it assumes the least amount of knowladge from the player. If Wrex were alive by default, anyone who just picked up ME2 without having played ME1 would not know what's going on when Wrex is like "Hey Shepard! Good to see you again!" on Tuchanka. With Wreav in charge, that problem never even presents itself.

Having Wrex being dead by default for players with no import also made sense because it assumes the least amount of knowladge from the player. If Wrex were alive by default, anyone who just picked up ME2 without having played ME1 would not know what's going on when Wrex "Hey Shepard! Good to see you again!". With Wreav in charge, that problem never even presents itself. As opposed to Garrus, Anderson, Tali etc.? If Bioware really didn't want any of that, they would have made an entirely new cast and protagonist. That's not the reason.

With Wrex however, they had to make a decision on which condition to use for non-importers and that was the better one for new players IMO.

Right, so if they just had Wrex not be king of Tuchanka, there would be no reason to not have him be alive? Because that doesn't make sense to me, either. Let's have Wrex be king of Tuchanka. But also not include him in the default game state. Why did we make him king of Tuchanka then? Don't know.

But that argument works just as well for your reason above, doesn't it? 60% of players killed Wrex off, so let's make him King of Tuchanka.
I mean, I don't know either. Who knows what went on in their heads. I would guess that they first wrote ME2 as is. Than, at the very end, they made a decision on what the defaults were gonna be. If that was the timeline, it would make sense. But as I said, who knows.
