Beards In Mass Effect 2 Legendary Edition

@DeltaTORSK I concur what you said about the head morph in ME2. Textures do look a lot rougher and the facial color is of compared to ME1 and 3.
I think your theory about not backporting the ME3 head morphs to ME2 might be correct.
I also wonder how feasible it is. Mass Effect 2 has additional facial features in terms of scarring that alters depended on player choice.
It might not have been a straightforward job to update this and thus it might have been skipped.
I do hope they fix this in a future patch. My Shepard has blond hair and facial hair, and the facial hair looks like someone painted it on. I look more like a pimp than a commander 😆
Just commenting that this is still a problem 2 years later.
According to the modding community it's because of a missing face texture on custom male shepards. I could download a 3rd party fix but a) I feel I shouldn't have to and b) I'd bet that mods disable achievements, but that possibility is moot since they don't work anyway
Overall this "legendary edition" has been a real disappointment. Unfortunately I put too many hours into the first game to get a refund now.
