Not enough XP
Hi there isn’t enough XP in mass effect legendary edition to reach the max level in the first game. I completed everything in the game but was stuck at level 29. The xp needs looking at.
Hmm, I'm starting to agree with you.
Since Monday, I've now reached the point where I am about to go to Ilos, and I'm only level 56, with 449059 / 462100 XP, so I am not even that close to 57. I don't know if difficulty matters, I would think not, but I've played on Insanity all the way.
I've almost quite literally did everything there is in the game. The only thing missing is the UNC mission on Nonuel that is only offered when your Renegade score is high. Other than that, I've even unlocked all the goddamn chests I've found, and don't even get me started on the amount I've exceeded every survey / collection mission, lol.
I think they modified the XP count with Pinnacle Station still in mind...
Yeah, I've just finished the game. No way in hell level 60 could have been possible... I think I might have gotten to 58, but that's a stretch.
I really am meticulous about ME1, played it countless times, so I'm inclined to believe that BW dropped the ball on this one.
Edit: Nop, I finished at level 57.
Pretty much were I ended up 29/30 converted in ME2 as 57/60. I'm the same as you, so many playthrough of the original game, there wasnt going to be anything I missed.
It's not all bad though, as when you import to ME2, you still get rewards as though your level 60. Not sure where in the 50's the cut off is, but 57 deff gets you all the goodies.
@Webb-samaYeah, I'm not even mad about the transfer bonuses... It's just irritating for my "inner completionist", lol.
I mean I did the game 110%, and ended up three levels short - while they advertised that this would be fixed. Like, come on, lol.
Also, I absolutely love the ME universe, but... Let's be honest, ME1 is a bloody chore, even in its LE state. I have already had more than ten playthroughs of it in the OG game, and all of them were completionist runs. It was alright back then, I was a patient kid with a lot of free time. Now as an adult, I was on vacation for a whole week, and this ME run took three days of it. It kinda feels like a waste of time now that I did not even reach max. level... I mean come on, 80% of those UNC missions mean nothing in the long run, and man they are tedious.
