However most of these only have the follow up in the form of an e-mail to your private terminal on the Normandy, but it's still cool to know that your choices had a lasting effect on the story. The same is true for the side quests, to a lesser extent.

The same goes for who you killed on Virmire (Ashley or Kaiden) and if Wrex is still alive.

All of the major choices that you made in Mass Effect 1 will be reflected.įor example, at one point you visit the council on the Citadel, and that plays out completely differently depending on whether or not the original council is still alive (same with the choice of who you nominated for the council, Anderson or Udina). IMO, you definitely want to import your Mass Effect 1 character into Mass Effect 2. Update: Thanks to Andy I've found the relevant page in the Mass Effect Wiki relating to continuing Mass Effect playthroughs in Mass Effect 2. I've marked this Community Wiki so we can have a decent discussion on the matter don't hold back! (Just for the sake of completeness, the major ones: Ashley and Wrex still alive, the council dead, Anderson the human ambassador, all the characters with their subquests completed, Rachni queen alive.)Īre there any choices which have a big impact in the game, or am I just worrying too much about this? I'm not really invested in any of my characters but there are some choices I'd prefer rather than others. Can I start from any of these characters' playthroughs or just the most recent one (the one at level 60 or the one at level 50, for example)? Can I change any of my choices (I seem to have read that I can't, if that's so, bad show, BioWare). On one playthrough, I even killed Wrex, just for the hell of it. Now I can't remember what choices I made. Each time I did things differently on the second playthrough I completed each and every quest, even. With my level 60 character, I played through the game three times. My question is, should I start Mass Effect 2 continuing one of my Mass Effect playthroughs or "start afresh"? Do you lose much if you start afresh? What do you gain otherwise? What are your experiences either way? Part of me would like to remain canonical with the series, and continue as BioWare suggests the story goes, but I've heard it's a lame choice. I've recently ordered Mass Effect 2 on Amazon (for GBP 13, what a deal). I've played through it multiple times: I have one character at level 60 (canonical, with which I played through thrice), another at level 50-something (female engineer, with which I played through twice), and another at level 40-something (biotic, with which I played through once).
