Mass Effect Legendary Edition: How to use Face Codes and recover our character from the originals

Thanks to the facial codes you will be able to recover the face of your original characters for Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Maybe you’ve never used them, but the so-called face codes for the Mass Effect license will allow us to bring that face of our favorite character to modern times when we play the first installments of the series.

And is that the launch of Mass Effect Legendary Edition is a nod to those users who enjoyed the three original installments, and for this, we include an option so that we can enter a series of codes, which will allow us to bring to the present that faces that we used a few years ago in some of the old games.

So we are going to tell you how you can use Face codes to recover the face of our character from the original games in Mass Effect Legendary Edition.

Mass Effect Legendary Edition: How to use Face Codes and recover our character from the originals

Basically, the facial codes are a series of 36-character codes that will allow us to obtain the face that our character had in the original titles.

Unfortunately, unless you have previously noted them, you will have to play the old game to record these facial codes. You will find them in both the second and third installments. Once you have entered Mass Effect 2 and/or Mass Effect 3, you can find the facial code in the squad menu, at the bottom where it simply says “code”. Write it down. This is a 36 character long code.

Once you have it, now run the new Mass Effect Legendary Edition installment, choose your game, and when you start the game choose to enter a new ID, select the gender of the character you used on that original face, put a name, choose a story from the background, a class and “change appearance”.

As soon as you have chosen to change appearance you should find a section at the bottom where it says “code” and where you must enter that 36 character code that we copied from the original games.

If you have done it right, you can have in the new installment that character face that you used in both Mass Effect 2 and 3, although with small changes since the technology of the modeling of the faces has changed.

Of course, the only thing that is transferred is the face, nothing from the rest of the body and much less the class abilities, options, elements, or other statistics.
