I bought Mass Effect 1 off steam, and my question is that if I bought Mass Effect 2 from a store, would I still be able to transfer my saves?
My internet isn't the greatest, and it took me about a month to download Mass Effect 1, it would take longer for ME2, and I would love to avoid that.
Question about transferring saves.

Yes. I also have ME1 on Steam and ME2 from a retail disc. No problems importing the saves. As a heads up, here's how you do it:
You have to run the Configuration utility. When you start the game, don't hit Play. Instead, choose Configure. When the utility comes up, click on the Save Games tab. Click the 'Copy Mass Effect 1 Save Games' button. Navigate to the ME1 save folder in the popup window. For XP that's My Documents-> BioWare -> Mass Effect -> Save (I don't know where Vista or 7 puts it). Choose the Save folder and click on Okay. Nothing will seem to happen, but that will import it to your ME2 game. Fire up the game, hit Play, and you should be able to choose your old character.
Hope that helps.

Thank you for the help!
I have vista, but I know where the saves are.
Again, thanks, thats a load off my shoulders.
