Mass Effect: What Will Carry Over?

[PuppetMaster]

*SPOILERS* Probably the Rachni, and if you chose to save the council or not.

both of those depend on whether or not you allowed them to exist in ME. it kinda breaks flow if people who you make dead, suddenly aren't a few years later

Yeah, but I really could've sworn I heard somewhere that ME2 would be able to read your save file from the first game...

Probably not, but it still would be awesome.

for everyone who has ME, anyone who hasn't would have to wonder if hunting for an extinct game and spending hours getting through it just so they can play the game they actually want to is worth their time.

also, what about files you play through more than once, being good the 1st time and renegade the next? me thinks your source is bad, sir

Actually, some of the game developers just confirmed that you CAN transfer save data from ME1 to ME2, if you so choose to. So certain characters won't be there, certain options will manifest, etc.

even for us console savages?

Ah, I think I've just found a new femme fatale for my Shep.

Every single choice you made will carry over to ME2. The only thing that won't carry over is your stats, you will start from zero.

half the reason i got mass effect 1 was beacuse it would affect mass effect 2

fantastic idea, wish more games did it

Every choice that you made in Mass Effect 1 will carry over to Mass Effect 2 w/ your savefile. (yes, even the choice to yell at Conrad Verner.)

Holy shit, I just know he's going to do something crazy now!

Umm, I think he died during the Geth attack at Citadel.

Bioware did that for KOTOR and did a good job. I'm curious about what they will do for Mass Effect.

 

[Thunderhorse31]

I assume the Normandy will make an appearance

You know the ship in the trailer that is on fire and Shep is rescuing people?

Spoiler

That's the Normandy.

Oh, I don't know about that. He might have left the Citadel before the attack. Alternatively the attacking Geth force was relatively small and didn't have time to waste wandering around the Wards exterminating all life, given how each section is miles long. It seems more likely that they concentrated their forces on the council tower. Imagine how long it would take to ferry your troops around the Citadel on those lifts. Much, much too long.
