Re: Mass Effect 1 end of game's endless loop

@OGSpeedFreak

First, please don't make several posts about the same problem. I closed the threads you necroed. 

Second, I doubt that there is a glitch.

After you beat the game you have the option to "Resume", that will bring you back to the last save before the fight with Sovereign, or you can "Load" a save game before you hit Ilos, the point of no return in ME1 (From here you only can go to the endgame)

That is not a glitch but intended behavior.

If you did not finished some missions you can get back and deal with them, and then return to the end game again. But you will not be able to reach Level 60 in one playthrough, there is simply not enough XP in the game.

To reach level 60 you have to start a New Game +. Or in other words, you have to import the character you finished ME1 back into the game and start a new playthrough.

    Hi:

    I have the same issue and my problem is that when I start Mass Effect 2 the game won't find any saved ME1 file. And that's problematic for playing ME2 properly!

    I really need help this. I don't want to defeat Sovereign for 50th time :__(

  • I don't know if it will work, but when you're doing missions in mako, if you step outside and fight enemies from outside the mako that might give you enough XP. Otherwise maximum you can get is not enough and you need to use New Game+. If I fix my problem with the saves, I will tell you in about 3-5 days. It will be about 45 hours of game play for me. But I used this technique to gain XP faster. I don't remember if in the first time playing there is 50 lvl cap. I did the whole campaign 8 times, but last time it was in 2015.
