Mass Effect 2 - choose a power bonus at the start of the game [ Edited ]

[serMortadella]

Hello to everyone!

I'm new and I have a question about Mass Effect 2.

Sorry for my english but I'm italian and I don't speak english.

Yesterday I started Mass Effect 2, importing Mass Effect 1 saves.

Then, I watched a video on Youtube where another player, at the start of the game (when you can to choose face character and class character), was able to choose a bonus power.

I did not have this chance.

can anyone tell me why?

Thanks

p.s. I attach the screen of the youtube video

You can only choose a bonus power after you completed the game at least once.

In the game you can do special missions for other characters. When you complete them, these characters get a new power that you can also choose for Shepard when you start a new game.

It has been a really LONG time since I have dealt with this, but I thought you didn't have to complete the game, but only complete the companions loyalty mission successfully and have gotten their bonus power unlocked.  Each of the bonus powers available to be chosen are ones given to your different teammates, so they have to be unlocked once before you can choose them.  I could be wrong of course, but that is what I remember happening, complete the loyalty mission, start a new character and that power is now available.
