As it is possible to transfer regular save files using the Xbox 360's file management tools, the player may choose to transfer a save file right before the final battle and complete it again in order to transfer the completed game file. To import save games on the Xbox 360, the game must be played on the hard drive the saved game was completed on, since it is not possible to transfer the file that Mass Effect 2 imports using the Xbox 360's file management tools (although it is possible when transferring the entire contents of the drive using a transfer cable).

You can also start a completely new character if you'd like to try a new class, gender, background, etc, and you will no longer be level capped at 50, but there is not enough XP available in the game, even with DLC, to reach level 60 in a single go. If you're looking to reach level 60, it isn't necessary to reach level 50 in your first completion. Since you are capped at level 50 for your first time through the game, you cannot reach level 60 until the second playthrough with your original character. It is possible to reach level 50 on your first playthrough, but you won't achieve it without completing a majority of the side assignments. Your party members all begin at the same level as you, but with no talent points spent and only the basic weapons / armor, allowing you to rebuild them as you like. For your main character, all of your talent points remain spent as they were before.

All items that were equipped on other characters are transferred to you, and you gain doubles of anything you had equipped. You then restart the story with all of your experience and items intact from the previous game. Any combat, biotic or tech achievements will be usable in any new career.Īfter you beat the game, you can start your character over by going to 'Create New Character' and selecting the bottommost option (Select Existing ID). Shepard's level, talents, specialization and equipment all carry over, but Paragon / Renegade scales, weapon manufacture licenses, and medi-gel / grenade stock upgrades are reset, as are your Codex entries and assignments.

Your game is saved and can be carried over to a New Game+. Mass Effect ends after the completion of the storyline. Mass Effect → Mass Effect (Existing Characters) “The chances of surviving are… slim.” - Spoilers for Mass Effect 2 follow.
