Steam and Origin/ Mass effect 3

Question

I have played Mass effect 1 and 2 all the way through on steam. I just purchased ME3, and installed it, when I went to play, I had assumed that my one and two characters would be imported into the game, but they were not. I would like to play ME3 with the original character and her relationships with her crew on Mass effect 3.

I tried installing ME3 on steam, and was not allowed to play the game from the steam interface. So, can you tell me how I can import my original character to playout ME3.

If you have a completed ME2 save in the default path (Documents - BioWare - Mass Effect 2 - Save) then the files should be recognized automatically. It doesn't matter what digital platforms you used for previous games.

What do I have to do? When it loads up, it doesnt offer me any characters to play, only a new game. I looked in the Bioware folder, and I see saved games. I'm not really a 'computer' person. I usually just expect things to just work, but i'm willing to try to fix it if you can give me instructions.

Thanks in advance.

Did you attempt clicking on 'new game'? The option to import an ME2 character comes directly after this.

If that's not the issue, I'd recommend reading this page: http://www.rarityguide.com/articles/articles/1669/1/Mass-Effect-3-Tutorial-and-Troubleshooting-Importing-your-Character-from-Mass-Effect-2-into-ME3/Page1.html
