“The save game at the end of Mass Effect 1 can be loaded right into Mass Effect 2 and then you continue that game. “But that is actually the key defining feature about the Mass Effect trilogy that you can’t get in any other game,” Hudson said. In a November press tour hosted by BioWare at its Edmonton studio, executive producer Casey Hudson said that fans have been expressing on forums their concern that the feature would get dropped. This sequel will be released by Electronic Arts for the Xbox 360 on January 26, 2010. In the meantime, check out our hands-on impressions.One of the burning questions being asked by fans of BioWare’s Mass Effect is how saved game files from the first title will be used by Mass Effect 2. Mass Effect 2 comes out on the PC and Xbox 360 on January 26. According to BioWare, this means that ".if the player was to complete ME1 12 times, regardless of the number of unique playthroughs used, the 12th save will not be available for import, but saves 1 through 11 will be available." While they're helpful, none of these bonuses will put new characters at a significant disadvantage, and the other bonuses will scale based on the imported character's final level at the time Mass Effect was completed.Ī slight caveat is that players will only be able to import a maximum of eleven (completed) in-game saves to Mass Effect 2.
If you finished the first game with the status of either Paragon or Renegade, your imported character's alignment will also carry over to Mass Effect 2, giving you access to additional conversation options. Imported characters will receive some extra money to spend at the beginning of the game, as well as ".additional research resources for use at the Normandy's Tech Lab." In addition carrying over numerous character decisions and plot points from the original Mass Effect, importing a completed character from the first game yields a few other bonuses. PC users will simply select the ".MassEffectSave" files they wish to import. Importing from a portable memory card won't be possible.
Xbox 360 users will need to be signed into Xbox LIVE to import previous character data from the Xbox 360 hard drive. New Mass Effect 2 information recently surfaced on the BioWare Community Forums, shedding light on the process of importing saved game information from the first Mass Effect game, and confirming a "New Game +" mode for the highly anticipated sequel.Īs previously reported, players of Mass Effect 2 will be given the option to import completed character data from the first Mass Effect when beginning a new game.
