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)
  • Renegade points: LE1 character level and  Renegade 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.
