Is there any word on if there be a way to change your saved game character looks when the character creator gets updated? Or will you have to start a new game to take advantage of the fix?


i think you will most likely have to start a new game+ and edit the changes you want. i doubt they will allow us to make changes to a in progress game. it sucks but most players will be doing multiple playthroughs anyways.


The new game+ is the option you get for getting done with the game? It allows you to change the looks?

Does it allow you to do anything else? Like what's different between that and just starting a new game?

    You keep your level, all your inventory etc but your Nexus level is reset. So far there seems very little different, I had hoped you wouldnt have to do all the rubbish open world stuff you've already completed in the previous play-through, but because most of it gives Andromeda Viability xp and your Nexus level is reset, you are stuck redoing stuff.

    I'd only recommend New Game+ if you want to switch it up a bit. I went in on Insanity difficulty and switched from Tech focus to Biotics... I will also make different choices in order to see if anything makes a difference when you inevitably transfer the save game over to ME:A2. If none of that appeals to you, don't bother with New Game+.

    That's nice to know, and thanks for the heads up. Still, I hope they will allow us to edit the save.

    I also hope in the next game there will be no or way less collect items missions or grinding side missions.

    it starts a new game but with all your current combat xp. you have to complete the story once before it unlocks. and yes you can change your looks as well as your sex. meaning if you started as sara you can continue as scott. all weapons, armor, research points, items, credits and skills will follow you. this includes the materials you collected as well. if you start a new game without using new game+ you don't get anything. its a clean start. that's the difference. (your AVP and your nexus level will reset to level one.)

    i just started a new game+ and that is the source of all my info :D

    EDIT: you can switch the bonus you get at the start as well with new game+ meaning if you want to get biotic boost or tech boost ect you can change that starting option. you wont be limited to using the same skills as before. you can always reset skill points in the med-bay on the tempest if you want to move points around.
