Just Finished ME1 at Level 49 :(

Finished my first playthrough as a Paragon while following a checklist....and finished at 49

so lame =(

I really don't want to NG+, do the bonuses really matter for 2?

I finished my insane playthough at 8k off level 60 a few months ago. If I remember the bonus is just some extra cash but I'm not 100%, whatever it is you'll be fine without it. It will hardly change the game at all, no story changes.

It's a bit much to replay an entire game over, just to get 1 level. I would suggest to move on to ME2, or if you are playing on a computer go to this http://www.masseffectsaves.com/ website and pick a save that is the same as yours, but lv 50

I'd advise him to stick with it. It really doesn't matter.

Ah good :). Also I left some talent points unspent (like 8) after everything became rediculessly easy. Charm and Paragon is maxed though. Does it matter that I left some stuff unallocated?

From the Mass Effect wiki:

  • A portion of the character's Paragon/Renegade points (up to 190 each, which requires the bar(s) to be 50% full) are transferred over.
  • Importing a level 1 through level 49 character will grant 1,000 XP (the player starts at level 2), 20,000 credits, and 2,500 of each resource.
  • Importing a level 50 through level 59 character will grant 2,000 XP (the player starts at level 3), 30,000 credits, and 5,000 of each resource.
  • Importing a level 60 character will grant 4,000 XP (the player starts at level 5), 50,000 credits, and 10,000 of each resource.
  • Having the "Rich" achievement from Mass Effect will grant an additional 100,000 credits.
  • The import bonuses will stack with the Mass Effect 2 completion starting bonuses (200,000 credits and 50,000 of each resource).

@Mcfart: I think the charm/intimidate skills give you paragon/renegade points in ME2 but it shouldn't matter too much, I'd just go for it. None of that stuff is a game changer anyway.

I imported a level 60 Shepard before and a single playthough one later, and it really didn't matter.

Well I finished ME1 at level 58. Ain't that worst than yours. When I do another playthrough of the series all the bonuses will be mine. Haha-ha-aaa...

IIRC, can't you change the difficulty at any point in the game? Try going back to your earliest save, crank the difficulty up so you can get more XP, and then beat the game again. If you were playing on an easier difficulty level, you might be able to hit level 50.
