How do I import my Mass Effect 1 character into Mass Effect 2, and 3?

I have bought the Triology-pack on CD. I launch the game via Origin. When I try to import my character from ME 1 into Me2 it doesn't find anything. How do I solve this? Thank you in advance!

Could you tell me how you did it? Im having the same issue. Dont know how to open that configuration tool. Thanks!

If you version of Mass Effect 2 doesn't launch with a splash screen, then you have to locate the config utility manually. Locate the folder where Mass Effect is installed. Then go to Binaries and open 'MassEffect2Config'. There's a button on the left about save games. After clicking it, a button appears called 'copy Mass Effect 1 saves' that allows you to browse to the folder containing your save files. The folder is usually Documents - BioWare - Mass Effect - Save. Once you're there, simply click OK. There's no fancy message or anything, but it should be fine now.

"Then go to Binaries and open 'MassEffect2Config'"

My "Binaries" folder is completelly empty!


I JUST COMPLETED ME1 AND I just want to be able to continue using my character...

(why does every program hate me when I try to do things that aren't 100% automatic?)
