You can download an ME2 save that's similar to your original save (in my case, a Paragon FemShep who romanced Garrus in 2) and edit it with an ME2 editor (had to change from Kaiden dead to Ashley dead, amongst other things) then import. There's a modified version of the Gibbed ME2 editor that's a bit more in-depth and user friendly. Open Gibbed's Mass Effect 2 Save Editor and load the savegame you want to modify 2. Click the 'Raw' tab 3. Squad' click on ' + Player' to expand the branch. Open Gibbed Save Editor for Mass Effect 2 application. It doesn’t matter where you unzip the downloaded folder or where you run it. Click the folder icon in it’s menu and navigate to where Mass Effect 2 stores saves: Documents BioWare Mass Effect 2 Save Select the character file you wish to edit and the most recent save.
About This File
See modding thread http://social.bioware.com/forum/1/topic/128/index/2277020/1 for xbox modding information and to ask questions. Also see Javier's link to his google docs near the end of the OP. Requires Microsoft .NET (tested with v3.5).
N.B.: Vaporizer has been active improving this editor. See his file descriptions for changes.
It also stores xbox headmorphs in pc format so headmorphs from either can be used. (It will still read the XanderChaos' BigEndian headmorphs, but XC's Gibbed will *not* read the default headmorph from this.)

How To Use Gibbed Save Editor Mass Effect 2
Hey guy I'm pretty new to this forum and this is my first Post (First in English). But anyways...
Mass Effect 2 Gibbed Save Editor Guide
I'm currently playing the Mass Effect Triology (midway through 3) and I realized I messed up. In ME 2 I did (at least I think) every quest, every loyalty mission and so on because on the one hand I, of course, want to get to know every part of the story ME2 tells me and on the other hand I wanted to own a, to me, perfect savegame which I can always import for Mass Effect 3. I have to mention I already bote about 8 months ago the triology. But on that run I went immediately after the Collectors took my crew to their ship. And this is the reason why I didn't know that if you do some missions after they took them the crew dies (which obviously happened to mine xD).
Actually I just wanted to do every mission (except the DLC 'The arrival') before I finish the game and this is why there was no turning back for after I completed so many missions.
I saw some threads in these forums but I can't ask any questions in there because it's not allowed any more. So I used the Gibbed.MassEffect2.SaveEdit to set Kelly Chambers, Gardner and the crew to the status 'alive'. It seemed to work because I started ME2 and the hole crew even Kelly appeared in the Normandy and I could talk to them, etc. So I thought it'll be fine in ME3 but after I first got to the Normandy in ME3 I read the list about the soldiers killed in action. I don't know why but it says Kenneth is dead.
To me he seemed pretty alive in ME2. So at first I guessed it's because of the fact the he actually died in ME2 and I just used the SaveEditor and something got wrong. But why is he the only one who's dead? I mean his partner , Garbriella Daniels, is not on the list, so probably she's not dead. And what about Kelly? I read you can see her again in Mass Effect 3 but some people say that it's only possible if you dated her in ME2. I didn't, so could I see her? And if Kelly died in ME2, is her name on the list of the soldiers as well?
So to cut a long story short, I don't want to play ME2 (for now) again, just for these ridiculous things. I'm playing ME3 on extreme (I think it's called extreme. The one after normal) and after I beat the game I wanted to replay it on the hardest difficulty. That's why I want to know: Does anyone know what values I have to change? And of course It'll be nice if someone answers my other questions,
Thanks for reading and I hope everything was correct so you could understand me!
