Loading a game from ME1 gives you 10,000 in all resources, 100,000 credits and your paragon/renegade score (as well as level based on level finished in ME1). New Game + gives you 200,000 credits, 50,000 across resources, whatever level you were when you completed ME2, but not paragon/renegade score.
Once you unlock the achievement, those bonuses stack if you load an ME1 character. In other words, NG+ gives you that 200K credits, 50K resources, but an ME1 import gives you (if you were rich and completed the resources) a total of 300K credits and 60K resources, plus the aforementioned paragon/renegade score.
There's no real benefit to the ME2 import, other than the heavy weapons, armor pieces and, something I forgot to mention previously, the weapon you select on the collector ship (which, if you're a soldier or infiltrator doesn't even carryover into the new game, although as any other class you'd start with that bonus weapon skill).
Was double checking back on this thread to refresh my memory of a few things, and just realized something is unclear (or maybe it is clear and I'm just overthinking it).
People mentioned "unlocking the achievement" and those bonuses stacking to a re-import of an ME1 character after completing the game once. Does this count ONLY for reimports of the Shepard you beat the game with, or does it mean for any Shepard?
To clarify:
Let's say I imported a Male Shepard named Hikaru Shepard who, for the sake of the argument, was level 60 and rich. That would mean he'd start with 10,000 resources, 100,000 credits, a few levels and some paragon.
Let's say I finish ME2 at level 27 and get the Long Service Medal Achievement as well as NG+.
If I import the ME2 version of Hikaru Shepard again (ie NG+), I remain at level 27, get 200,000 credits, 50,000 resources, my armor and heavy weapons, but no morality.
If I reimport the ME1 version of Hikaru Shepard again (ie not NG+), I start with 300,000 credits, 60,000 resources, and a bit of morality and levels.
Is that right?
Now, my question is...
Say I now import a FEMALE Shepard from ME1 called Hotaru Shepard, who is not rich, or max level, and hasn't found all the minerals.
Does Hotaru Shepard start ME2 with anything? Would she get 300,000 credits etc because I have the achievement that says, "Hey, you beat ME2, have bonuses for all your characters"? Or is that only when you reimport someone like Hikaru who already beat the game?
This is all somewhat relevant as I'm trying to decide whether it's worth replaying all of ME1 to get an importable female Shepard, and whether I would have to get all the wealth/minerals/levels I could to make it worth it.
Retour en haut
Start a new game in ME1 with a fem Shep but race through the game as fast as possible so I can get back to ME2 and sweet Thane loving ASAP. Would probably mean low levels, not many credits and not all the minerals.
