In the first 10 minutes of Mass Effect 2, you die. You lose your life, your ship, your crew and everything else you grew attached to in the first installment. A common complaint with RPGs is the lack of explanation as to why your character loses their abilities between installments. What better way to explain why you lost your stuff than you died? Bioware took everything that worked in the first game and built upon it to create one of the best RPGs ever made.
