You can choose to start a new game by importing an ME1 or ME2 save from the main menu. Can't answer your other questions.

-Spenser

If you select New Game from the menu, it gives you the option to start new male or female, and import ME1 or ME2, so yes you still can import and continue.

As far as the Collector and Inferno armor, they were bonuses - Collector armor for the collector's edition and the Inferno was a Gamestop pre-order bonus. I doubt that they'll release them as DLC.

Importing a save does next to nothing to change the actual storyline of ME2. You start with a few extra perks such as bonus credits, paragon/renegade points, extra minerals (depending on achievements) and a few other little things. Other then that, importing a save basically adds a few NPCs scattered around the game which give some unique dialogue and possible a few extra paragon/renegade points, but thats about it (such as Wrex,

if Wrex lived through ME1, he is the leader or whatever of Tuchanga, or at least, the town you visit there. If he died, then he is replaced by another NPC

).

So in short, if you do not have a save, your missing out on some possible paragon/renegade points, some money and minerals, and a few humorous dialogue opportunities.

seems not worth it. thanks!

Its interesting and funny, but ultimately there are hardly any differences (if any at all) end-game if you imported a save vs making a new character all together.....not worth playing through the entirety of ME1 just to have a save game to continue IMO.

Yeah, I'm playing through with a fresh character right now (after playing through the first time with an imported character), and the biggest loss is the paragon and renegade points that you gain from your ME1 character. As far as I can tell, the only way that you can max out one of the meters in a single playthrough is to use an imported character. I'm at level 19 right now, and my renegade meter is about halfway full, meaning that certain dialogue options are going to be locked no matter what.

Apart from losing dialogue options, it's still a great experience. You lose out on some references to the first time (the absence of Wrex being the biggest one), but there's nothing major. Oh, and

you don't regain your Spectre status. Again, not a huge deal.

It's clear that the events in this one will effect the 3rd way more than the 1st did to this. Specially the final choice you are given.

The choices are bigger for sure but don't count out the decisions in ME1. I'm betting deciding to save or destroy the Rachni in ME1 alone is going to have a big impact on ME3. Don't forget what it took to destroy just Sovereign, to defeat a fleet of them going to take a hell of a lot more. ME3 is going to be epic for sure :)

Oh that's right, the Rachni is probably the biggest choice in ME1 really. I don't think any of the other ones are of the same importance though.

I disagree, my first playthrough was with a new character (not imported) and I got up to around 80% paragon by endgame. That is with only a 70% bonus (instead of the 100% bonus you can get by that one skill), and pretty much going through the game as quickly as possible (I did the loyalty missions, but nothing else really).

I am sure if I had wanted to I could have easily maxed out Paragon points, even without an imported character.

Really? That's a little more encouraging then. Right now, I have about half of the total Renegade points, and about 1/5 of the total Paragon points, so maybe that's my problem. I should have gone either full Renegade or full Paragon. In that case, I stand corrected.

I will say this much though: if I play through for a third time, I'm going full paragon. It's just too hard for me to be a jerk in this game :).

Finished this game in around 27-28 hours. Full paragon, 20% (give or take ) renegade. All team members survived including myself and all missions and assignments completed. I'm currently in the progress of searching for anomalies outside where the mass relays are. Best game I have played in a long time. Oh, and I didn't keep the reaper for Cerberus, screw that guy.

Finally got that

No One Left Behind achievement

. Now I've cleared the game with a male infiltrator and a female sentinel. It's rare for me to play through a game more than once, but it's even more rare for me to do a second playthrough right after the first. Absolutely amazing game.

I played as a female and slept with Thane. I wonder what that says about my masculinity (or lack thereof).

Just completed ME2 Last night, unfortunatly 2 Chars died :'( ... oh well going to try again with everyone alive this time.

Storyline was epic as expected however in some ways i thought it did not live upto the first one.

  • Could Not Full Explore Citadel Like You could in ME1
  • Missed the Land Vehicle that was used in the first one, that was quite nifty
  • It was short, shorter than ME1 for me (ME1 Took longer to complte imo) Even though ME2 was 2 Discs

Going to have another play through, keep everyone alive this time, for some reason Grunt died even though he was loyal and had all of his upgrades, that was quite annoying.

    • Microsoft will soon allow some users to block Copilot from analyzing their Office files by Usama Jawad Microsoft Purview is a pretty useful data governance, security, and management service that allows customers to gain enhanced visibility and control over their content. It's meant for commercial customers, such as organizations that are storing data at scale. As AI continues to expand and infiltrate every corner of a firm, many are a bit conscious about the technology gaining access to their confidential data. Microsoft is now making a configuration change that will allow such customers to rest easy. Right now, users within an organization have the option to apply Purview sensitivity labels (when available) to secure certain files and label them as such. For example, if you apply the "Confidential" label on an Excel file, the file will be encrypted, and a "confidential" watermark will be applied to it. So, if this file is shared with anyone, they are aware that its access is supposed to be restricted. Up until now, Microsoft was allowing some connected experiences, like its AI services, to analyze files, regardless of their sensitivity label. This is of major concern to most organizations, as a recent example highlighted how confidential emails with data loss prevention (DLP) policies like privacy labels were being uploaded to Copilot for analysis. As such, Microsoft is updating an existing Purview data label sensitivity setting that prevents "some connected experiences that analyze content", from being blocked completely from doing this. The label isn't changing, but the blocking is now being enforced across all connected services (including Copilot and other AI tools), and now extends to Microsoft Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. Files with the label applied already will get this enhancement automatically too once it becomes available. Microsoft has urged IT admins to inform their respective helpdesk and compliance teams, update internal documentation, and review sensitivity labels to ensure that they meet their respective compliance needs. This change is tagged as MC1297982 in the Message Center. General availability is scheduled to begin in a phased manner soon and will complete by the end of next month. That said, it is important to note that this only applies to commercial customers who have a license that allows them to use Purview.
