Ok this might be a few dumb questions but long story short I got ME2 few weeks ago, after two play throughs I liked it so much forked out another 20 bucks for ME1. I'm just about finised with my second "real" playthrough on ME1 and then I'll import it to ME2. Im thinking of just racing through it first time to get the ending of Shep's death just to see it and then on that second playthrough, play it for "real" so my questions are
1. When i do a second replay on ME2 do I get power, exp, armor, ect. bonuses even if shepard dies first time?(does it matter cause I already have to games finised with ME2 but with no ME1 import?)
2. When I start my second "real" play throughon ME2 it will still be combined with my second "real" playthrough from ME1 right??
Im sorry if none of this makes sense or im just confusing people
