The default setup given to someone without a ME1 save is about the least interesting of the possible choices. And BioWare really should have let you (optionally) pick from the available choices.  Kaiden or Ashley? Council live or die? Wrex alive or dead? Rachni Queen free or dead? Anderson or Udina? Letting the player choose at the start of the game would have added replay value. <\/p>\n<p>I guess they were trying to sell copies of Mass Effect 1, but without knowing what those options were or that they even existed, I don&#8217;t think there&#8217;s any incentive for newcomers to go back and get the original game. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link (YouTube) I know yesterday we revealed that we&#8217;d used an editor to change our save.
