Mass Effect second playthrough question.

I tried Googling the answer, but I was unhappy with the results that I got.

I just finished my first playthrough of ME with a Vanguard, but say I want to start a new game with an Infiltrator. I know that if I start a new game, I have the option of starting with my Vanguard, with everything still there from my previous playthrough.

If I want to play as an Infiltrator, will I still keep all of my equipment/ items from my first Vanguard?

I really want to try out this build that I found, but am I able to achieve this if I start my second playthrough with an Infiltrator?

Pistol: 12
Sniper Rifle: 12
Commando: 12
Fitness: 12
Bonus: AI Hacking: 12
Spectre: 11
Decryption: 9
Electronics: 9
Tactical Armor: 7
Damping: 6

Game ends, then as I said when you play as your character again you keep your level and equipment, and it lets you change the difficulty before you play, you will probably need the levels and equipment on the harder difficulties...I don't remember if your helpers keep their levels...they might I can't remember. I would check but got red light so I can't.

ok I have a question too Im playing though the first time, very good game by the way, but after I beat the main story can I still do side missions or does the game end and I have to start another game? raylewisnfl52

Alright, I got my answer, thank you for the answers.

I guess I'll start a new playthrough normally as an Infiltrator, and after that, I'll use the build I posted for a second playthrough of my Infiltrator on Insane.

Mass effect ends after the main story is done i believe, im on my second play through.

is the game really hard on the hardest difficulty with you character at or around level 60?raylewisnfl52
