This mod makes changes to the behavior of granting new game bonuses. The original bonus values and their range have not been changed. This mod should be compatible with mods that change these values.
IMPORTANT
If you do update from ver. 1.0.1 or earlier, I recommend you to choose Backward Compatibility Patch during installation. After the first save after update, this compatibility patch will no longer be needed for that particular save.
The mod works correctly for LE2 characters that were created when the mod was installed. Otherwise you can prepare your save to work with this mod. See DOCS tab for details.

Behaviour
"Mission Accomplished" achievement and loyality achievements loses their role in bonus granting.
None -> LE2 = No bonuses
If you not import any save you wouldn't get any bonus.

None -> LE2 -> LE2 = Second Playthrough Bonus
If you import LE2 save with non LE1 character you will get original Second Playtrought Bonus only.
- Credits: 200k
- Resources: 50k each

LE1 -> LE2 = LE1 Import Bonus
If you import character from LE1 to first LE2 playthrough you will get original LE1 Import Bonus only.
- Credits: 150k
- Resources: 10k each
- XP: LE1 character level dependent (original range)
- Paragon points: LE1 character level and Paragon Points dependent (original range)
- Renegade points: LE1 character level and Renegade Points dependent (original range)

LE1 -> LE2 -> LE2 = Both bonuses
If you import LE2 save with character imported from LE1 you will get original LE1 Import Bonus (except XP) and original Second Playtrought Bonus.
- Credits: 350k
- Resources: 60k each
- Paragon points: LE1 character level and Paragon Points dependent (original range)

Bonus talents
Bonus talents are no longer tied to achievements. If you want an bonus talent, you'll need to earn loyalty or import a save with a loyal squad member. Samara's or Morinth's loyalty grants both related talents.
