Import Bonus for 60:

Learn how your Mass Effect 1 character and choices carry over to Mass Effect 2. Understand the import bonus and what carries over, like levels and talents.

So, you've finished your first adventure as Commander Shepard in Mass Effect and you're ready to jump into Mass Effect 2? That's awesome! The cool thing is, you don't have to start from scratch. Your Shepard can carry over, bringing a lot of your hard-earned progress with them. Let's break down what that actually means. When you start a New Game+ in Mass Effect 1, your character's level, talents, specialization, and equipment all carry over. Think of it like keeping your favorite gear and skills. However, a few things reset to keep things fresh: * Paragon / Renegade scales: Your alignment will reset, so you can shape Shepard's morality anew. * Licenses: Weapon manufacture licenses you acquired won't carry over. * Medi-gel and Grenade stock upgrades: These will be reset to their base levels. * Codex entries and Assignments: You'll need to rediscover lore and re-tackle side missions. But don't worry! Any combat, biotic, or tech achievements you unlocked can still be used in your new playthrough. When you're ready to import your character, just go to "Create New Character" and select the "Select Existing ID" option. This lets you restart the story with all your experience intact.
