ME1 can't reach lvl 60

[QuackBoi]

I am lvl 59, have a capped xp bar and when i kill enemies it says +0xp every kill.

I've seen some people switch the leveling system to classic and then getting the XP required before switching it back, causing you to be able to reach level 60. Now I'm not sure if this actually works as I didn't get to try it myself but it's worth a shot.

My char is level 54 or 55 and I just went through Ilos. I'm using the classic system. I've not tried legendary. I've done most side quests and UNC quests.

Switch to legendary leveling..that's your true level.

Yeah but it's not, i did that. Imported the lvl 30 from me1 to me2 and it didn't give me the full rewards :(

Honestly a level 60 Import (especially on 1 run) isn't worth it. You just get 1 level and you can get that on the first mission. And ME2 has zero problems maxing out with it's DLC content.

I'm using the legendary system and am stuck at lvl 29. xp value actually seems to say I am over the limit for a level. I will try switching level modes and see if that corrects it.

The Mass Effect Legendary Edition unable to reach max level bug is a visual glitch. Characters that become stuck on level 29 (Legendary) or level 59 (Classic) import into later ME games as if they were top rank.

edit:
so I tested changing the level and then gaining just a bit more xp, sure enough it gave me my last 2 skill points and leveled me up, but classic mode still says I am only lvl 59, while legendary says I am now 30 and the experience counter is gone.
oddly, before I changed modes, it said I was only at level 57 in classic, I started with legend mode so its just not syncing the xp correctly, but it was also withholding my final level gain until I switched modes.

It sounds like what is happening to you is what exactly happened to me last night. I haven't tried to switch, I've ever only used the classic system, am doing a + playthrough and am capped at 59 and not getting xp. Seems like ppl above are saying you will import into Me2 at max level so that's fine. But I didn't get my last skill point. I could try converting considering I have a save to go back to if that doesn't work.

Why so many bugs anyway?

When you import into ME:2 you will still get the full 5 level boost.

To get your skill point just swap to legendary and you will get it, can swap back to classic after if you like. Legendary does reach level 30.

I did NOT reach level 30/60 in ME1 (still required more exp), but still got the full 5 level boost in ME2, so I'm assuming they lowered the threshold a little.

I actually don't understand how legendary scaling is supposed to work. I just finished all of the UNC missions, did Feros, Noveria, and grabbed Liara. Still need to do Bring Down the Sky, Virmire - end. But I'm like lvl 27 or 28. Am I really supposed to grab over 30 lvls from Virmire to the end? There isn't that much story left.

You can't hit max level in one playthrough.

Oh wait hold on, the wording of it in the settings menu had me confused. Legendary mode, the cap is just lvl 30 now. I assumed I would just be able to get to 60 in one playthrough instead of requring 2 extra runs lol

Wait, I STILL need to do an extra run? There's no point to this new xp scaling then lmao

You should be able to hit 29 solidly, I was around where you are, but it doesn't look like you'll reach 30. I expect you'll be able to transfer with the 5 level boost in the end regardless.
