BioWare: Commander Shepard will start out with basic abilities in Mass Effect 2 |
Ó
If you were thinking of starting Mass Effect 2 (Xbox 360 and PC) with an uber-powerful Commander Shepard you ended the first game with, think again. The game's producer has confirmed that player stats will be reset to basic abilities in the sequel.
Lead producer Casey Hudson explained to Computer World that something that they can't reveal just yet happens to Shepard in Mass Effect 2, hence the reset. "There's something that's happening with the story that explains what happens with your abilities. It's something we can't go into detail about for obvious reasons, but it actually happens the other way around."
Another reason is to properly implement all the tweaks and improvements made to literally system in the game -- your powers, the controls, aiming, the way that your character stats work and how you build a character, the inventory system, weapons, and so on. "All of those things have been dramatically improved, so there's no direct way to map the stuff you had in Mass Effect over to Mass Effect 2 anyway."
So why the need for us to keep our saves from the first game then? The import system instead focuses on the decisions you've made during the course of Mass Effect. Says Hudson,
We're taking into account all of your accomplishments in terms of building a character from the first game. So things you'd expect to be acknowledged, like if you were a level 60 character, or you were highly Renegade and don't want to start out at the middle again.
If you import your save game from Mass Effect, these kinds of things will be acknowledged in ways that map across to the new system. You will feel, even in terms of the character that you build, that you are continuing as that character.

It better not be amnesia, that *****ty twist deserves to be plunged into the recycling centre of hell.
