trouble importing original mass effect 2 save into the legendary edition (PC)
Hi
I am trying to import my old save from the original mass effect 2 into the legendary edition and nothing I am trying is working.
I have tried pasting my entire save folder from mass effect 2 into the legendary edition folder or just the save file I wanted to use and the character has not shown up in the mass effect 2 or 3 load options.
is it possible to import my me2 character? I would rather not have to use the mass effect 3 comic thing to set my choices because it looks like a decent amount of things could have been left out.
@dalton264 Yes, you should be able to import a regular ME2 save to the Legendary Edition of ME3. I did this myself a while back. Where did you copy the ME2 save to? I put mine here:
Documents\BioWare\Mass Effect Legendary Edition\Save\ME2
I copied the entire folder, in this case labeled Jane_21_Infiltrator_100121, and had no trouble other than that my Shepard came out looking very wrong. (The tool linked in this post helped with that.) You do need to have finished the game, of course, and your Shepard needs to have survived. However, I don't have the option to load the save in ME2, only 3.
If the above doesn't help, please post a screenshot of the contents of the folder that contains your save files, as in, the ones that end in .pcsav.
