Example: Importing a lvl 60 Shepard from ME1 nets you $200K credits, 50K of each resource, and starting out at lvl 5 in ME2. Keep in mind to reach lvl 60 you need to beat ME1 (unlocks lvl 60 maximum limit), then continue playing on a new game+ on ME1 to reach it. Also, as I said your choices/decisions you made from ME1 carry over to ME2. If you do not import from ME1 these choices are "pre-selected" in a new game for ME2....basically meaning everyone who dies, could have , While you can save them in ME1 if you chose. Me personally? I just did a quick run through ME1 making all the big decisions I wanted to carry over to ME2. Also, it made ME2 that much more enjoyable (seeing cameos, etc) and generally knowing WTF is going on. As for tips... Here's a few things: 1) Conversations/Speech are huge in these games. Put points into Charm/Intimidate (Extremely important if you're doing a story-only playthrough)....pick the proper choices if you want to be good or evil (Paragon/Renegade) 2) Do any "personal" or team members quests. Random sidequests aren't as important. Those are the main things. Again it depends on if you're planning on doing everything and "taking in" the game, or you just want the best possible quick playthrough. Hope that helps. Basically the point: You should play ME1 first. It adds a more personal feel to ME2. Plus the ending is Epic, you'll be dying to play ME2 next.

I've already finished it as a paragon, now I've switched sexes, upped it to hardcore, and am trying to be as renegade as I can. I still seem to be getting paragon points just from going through the conversations.
I seem to be unlocking the loyalty quests much more slowly, maybe I just didn't remember them taking this long last time. I can see how people like how the decisions from the first ME affect things in this one. I didn't really care for it all that much honestly. Some of the choices you make don't end up with the results you want, which is partly what makes the game great, it also gives you a "should have known better" feeling and it's frustrating when you know things could be playing out differently but you're stuck with a decision you made over a year ago in another game. Plus I lost a member in my squad who's way too fing cool not to see again in the next one. Just my opinion but that would be my one criticism in this otherwise fantastic game. I'm glad they made it an optional feature. in short though it's fantastic, and has successfully pulled me away from mindless MW2 grinding. -BMW2006 |

I started playing the 2nd without having played the first. There are a couple references I don't know and characters who were apparently in the first one that I'd not have known about unless my roomy told me, but I don't think you need to play the first to enjoy the 2nd. I'm loving it thus far.
