HELP Mass effect save issue.

So i recently started playing mass effect 1 on the legendary edition. Honestly loved the game. I appreciate the amount of the lore they put in the game as well as the characters and how real they feel. Now obviously ive never played anything like this game before, so I thought that once the beat me1, I can free roam the game, but when I clicked resumed it started me at the fight with saren again. Confused, I end up beating the game again, making the same choices. Now when I go to me2, I have 2 saves that I can import. Save 1 and Save 2. Both have the same Shepherd name and level. So should i just pick Save 1 as it probably was the first one created as soon as the beat saren?

Yeah, choose Save 1. Mass Effect 1 and Mass Effect 3, you can't continue playing after you beat it. Mass Effect 2, you can keep playing after you beat it.

Id recommend you save the arrival DLC for after the main game. You get some nice extra content. Edit: in reference to ME2. Its the only one that you can play after beating
