ME1 Autosave Ending Bug

On the Legendary edition of ME1, my game will not autosave after I complete the battle with sovereign/saren. I cannot continue my game after the credits either to complete side missions.

When I tried to move on to ME2 and import my character, my choice for council member also did not show up. I'm guessing this has to do with the ending of my ME1 game not saving.

Has anyone else encountered this issue, or is there a fix to it?

I'm playing on Xbox Series S

  • There is no autosave after the battle. The last place you can create a save is at the hatch outside the council chambers.

    Picking the human councilor at the end is quite widely known for not being saved in the file and they added an entire scene onboard the shuttle with Miranda and Jacob where you get to pick the councilor again because of that.

    The decision to save the council or not is the last thing saved to your character, but not in a normal autosave.

    The final save file the game creates at the end is not a normal save you can use to load the game. The game will create a "char" save in another folder. You can check if it exists by trying to import a Shepard in a new game or in me2.
