I am trying to import my face from Mass Effect 2 (which was originally from Mass Effect 1) and I get the following error: Mass Effect 3 cannot successfully determine the face code used by this imported save game. Please update your character's appearance. Is there any reason or fix for this...

Will importing a Mass Effect 2 character and changing class e.g. ME2:Soldier -> ME3:Engineer, make any difference and be without any penalties?

I'm not sure what action to take for this answer. Normally I'd edit out foul language, but that's not possible here.

My character has 2 biotic powers with a "Detonate" upgrade in their trees. Will purchasing both give any benefit? Does a "detonate" power upgrade apply to all biotic detonations, ones that were started by the power in question, or ones that were detonated by that power? If they do stack, is the e...

Does stats other than tower health affect the Apprentice/Adept Magic Blockade? Does Apprentice/Huntress/Monk Guardians have any effect on Magic Blockade?

When importing a character you start at a maximum level of 30. Does this actually make the game any easier? I understand that you will start off with lot of upgrade points, but will the enemies also scale to your level?

In Mass Effect 3, one of the options you have to play the game in is called "Action Mode." In this mode, you don't choose your conversation options, they're instead chosen for you, so the game plays out a little more like a typical action game rather than an RPG. However, in the past 2 games, m...

I'm currently investigating the possibility that one of the Hanar diplomats on the Citadel is indoctrinated. I scanned a terminal in the Embassies area, but all that turned up was a Hanar making large payments to its Mistress. I got a quest update to check its emails -- but I've looked all over, ...

Unfortunately, the Romance article on the Mass Effect Wikia doesn't have the options listed yet, and I'm a little paranoid about digging deeper on google for fear of running into major story spoilers (hell, I'm paranoid about those just on this site). Who are the romance options (both same-sex a...

In Mass Effect 2, you could unlock certain powers with your squad mates, which you could then choose one of to take and use yourself. For example, I was very partial to Mordin's Neural Shock ability. Does Mass Effect 3 allow you to unlock powers again?

Can you unlock all ability achievements e.g. overload the shields of 100 enemies in one play through? My character doesn't have some of the abilities, so does telling your squad member to perform it count?

During the course of multiplayer you level up characters, unlock characters and unlock equipment and so on, and I know that multiplayer is apparently tied in to singleplayer. So, does progress made in multiplayer link to a related single player run (so if you start another play-through does that...

In other words, will the enemies in a two player match on bronze difficulty do more damage and have more health than the enemies in a four player match of the same difficulty?

From the answer to this question, we know that multiplayer races are unlocked by purchasing item packs in the in-game store. If I have a level 10 human infiltrator and unlock the ability to create a salarian infiltrator, will my level be preserved when I switch to the salarian, or do both version...

In Mass Effect 2, some weapons did more damage to a certain type of defense (shields, barriers or armour). Is the same true in Mass Effect 3?

Most of the time, using a biotic charge into a group of enemies gets me riddled with bullets extremely fast, what are some ways I can improve survivability and/or effectiveness with this skill?

I've noticed that some abilities don't seem to share cooldowns with each other. The various grenade abilities, for instance, and the Vanguard's Nova biotic. The Sentinel's Tech Armor also doesn't cause a cooldown to turn on (though it does to detonate). Which abilities are off the shared cooldow...

Is there a way to determine if my units are still visible? Mostly in trying to set an embarkment trap, how far to keep destroyers off land One more, do subs become invisible again after an attack?

I'm running around Mars and Ashley started with 6 grenades, as I've got her grenade tree upgraded significantly. I had her toss a bunch in the first combat and she was down to 3, and then later on in the mission she was back up to 6. I thought maybe it was from picking up ammo packs, so to test ...

Is there a new game plus mode for Mass Effect 3? If so, what gets carried over?

There are three starting 'difficulty' levels, as well as an adjustable difficulty level. What exactly do these choices make in the game?

In Mass Effect 2, importing a ME1 save would grant starting bonuses based on your level and the completion of certain achievements. For example: A portion of the character's Paragon/Renegade points (up to 190 each, which requires the bar(s) to be 50% full[1]) are transferred over. Importing...

I'm playing a soldier and I've got both Incendiary Ammo and Disruptor Ammo at level 4. I see that at level 5 for each, there's an option for +30% ammo. I'm trying to plan out my build but don't currently have the skill points to test this out for myself. Is this a passive ammo capacity bon...

I have a level 20 warrior. I've read the wiki's Game Objectives section, which lists Gravestones Achievements Class Quests & Fame Ranks Fame Earning Guilds I'd like to hunt big monsters or gods, since it's the only "mini-quest"/objective that I can perform (seems a bit silly to me, by th...

Is there a good way to solo in co-op mode? This seems like a contradiction, but I find myself frequently either the last man standing or the only player left after others quit or are disconnected. In other games, like Halo: Reach, it was feasible to even start a single-player "firefight" sessio...

On the system map, I can use the Normandy to scan for interesting items within the system. However, scanning too much draws the ire of the Reapers. They'll chase you back out of the system if this happens. So far I've always ran like hell. What happens if they catch me? Do I get a game over?...

I will be importing a maxed character from ME2 and I want to get an idea of what will be needed to max at 60. Ideally I would like to max in the first playthrough, if DLC is needed that's fine too. So officially: Using a maxed ME2 save and any day/week one DLC, is it possible to reach the ma...
