Mass Effect 2 to Accomodate Lost Saves – Updated

UPDATE: In a followup post on Penny Arcade, this was revealed to be based on a test build and is incorrect.  Mass Effect 2 DOES NOT allow you to edit these past actions.

Penny Arcade’s Tycho spoke with Bioware’s Chris Priestly on the subject of Mass Effect 2 recently.  Mr. Priestly confirmed that players who no longer have their Mass Effect save file need not fear.  When you create a new character, Mass Effect 2 will let you select a variety of options that you were able to affect when playing the first one (space bugs, anyone?)  so as to recreate the universe that your role play had created.  I think this is a great idea.

Mass Effect 2 is an upcoming science fiction RPG from Bioware, recently of Dragon Age: Origins fame.  As of the time of posting, the Xbox 360 version of the game is receiving an aggregate score of 97.75% at Gamerankings.com, based on a compilation of 4 reviews.
