Sorry, New Game Plus Could Not Be Loaded.
When you complete a game do you like to restart a character from scratch or begin with all of his attributes, weapons and perks while at the very beginning of the game? Although Mass Effect 1 had this “new game plus.” feature, it appears that Mass Effect 2 will not.
Heres why:
The reason is progression. We have been working very hard to make sure we design the abilities system to offer smooth progression into ME3 from ME2. Allowing double progression on characters makes that almost impossible. We have to have reasonable knowledge about where a character could end up finishing all content on a playthrough. We also want to offer choice of character build within specific classes.
We replaced that feature with playing after you were done because it preserves progression and allows for smoother downloading of PRC.
Personally, I love this feature, so it’s a bit of a shame that the devs are not including it. What do you think? Let us know in the comments!
