Leveling bug in ME1 Legendary Edition - Level 60 is broken

If you switched it over to Legendary mode (level 30) then that would presumably negate any possible ME2 migration problems?

Because regardless of anything missing in level 59, wouldn't that work?

That's what I'm hoping, missing out on a talent point stinks but ultimately doesn't matter. I'll see what happens when I import the save.

In the original ME1, Level 50 was the cap for your first playthrough with Level 60 only attainable on New Game Plus.

In the remastered ME1, there is no level cap. The Legendary Edition also includes two leveling systems. A "classic" mode with 60 levels based on the original and a new "legendary" mode with 30 levels inspired by ME2 & ME3. Both are suppose to give the same number of skill points and can be switched to and from in the options.

However, some players are encountering a BUG where they reach Level 29 (on Legendary mode) or Level 59 (on Classic mode) and no longer receive XP. This makes reaching Level 30 (Legendary) & Level 60 (Classic) impossible for them.

The cause of the glitch is currently unknown and there are no known workarounds if you're affected. A few have theorized that switching between legendary and classic leveling mid-playthrough might be the cause. Although, at least one player did not switch between modes and was still hit by this glitch. There is also a discrepancy in how points are distributed between both leveling modes where they don't line up exactly where they should. All of which might also contribute to this bug.

And judging by reports, it seems to affect all platforms.

Same issue. Used legendary level system up until I realized it glitched and didn't hit 30. Switched to classic, then back to legendary, and it said 30, however on import into ME2 it recognized as level 59- not 60. Annoying, but not game breaking obviously. 

This has been passed along folks, thank you for the reports and details.

When would we see a fix for it? 

@SofaJockeyUKI can confirm that it does not interfere with the level 60 ME2 import bonus. So ultimately all the bug does is make you lose a talent point in ME1 so pretty much harmless.

Toss my hat in the ring for people unable to hit the level cap, however I leveled up via the legendary version and stopped at 29 and when importing it into ME2 it imported as a level 57 character.
