If that's the case Jup then why allow anyone to make their own character instead of just saying here's a man here's a woman choose one? I spent two games with one character went through each facial option with hair style, facial hair, eyes, etc etc and spent all that time prior to even playing the game making my guy and now spent probably 60 gameplay hoursish with him now suddenly he can't load properly and I have to try and recapture everything again?
You can have your preset character and get right into playing congrats, as silly as it may seem I have a connection with MY Shepard because I made him he's mine, same reason why I couldn't finish the demo, that's not my Shepard as I've said before. I would be just as upset with if I made a decision in the previous two games and suddenly the game couldn't load it properly and I had to try and remember certain decisions I made previously from years ago before playing the game I've been waiting for. "The storyline won't be identical? THE HORROR!!" Hope that makes sense because I don't think I can make it any more clear.
