📋 About This Mod
ME2 NewGamePlus is known to be unbalanced at beginning of game, this mod fix it. Retain all upgrades for weapons and crew (all upgrades transfer except ship upgrades ).
New Game plus is different than in ME1 and ME3 (in original edition of ME2 it wasn’t planned to made and probably because of that is worse ). Upgrades not transfer and every enemy scales to you, so beginning of game is unbalanced and literally chore when you are weak comparing to enemies (this is especially true on Insanity because enemies are scaled exactly to player level ). This mod fix it – now your upgrades transfer and NewGamePlus become more similar to NewGamePlus of ME1 and ME3.
