Funny thing, before you talk to the elusive man for the first time you can talk to Jacob and Miranda, only that Miranda was never there in the previous two game starts I did. Now she is.
I doubt that "Arrival" was the real culprit here.
I doubt it as well 🙂
What could have been it?
I think files of the main game got corrupted.
If something like this happens again, try to repair the game.

Thank you for your replay.
How could they got corrupted?
Maybe because I crashed with Shadow before and went back to a save where Liara already left for her apartment. Right after that I started Arrival, never finishing Shadow but kept it somewhat activated in the background.
Could be, but the fact that Miranda was missing at the very start of the game leads me to belief that there was a problem before that.
The name of "Arrival" in the DLC folder is "DLC_EXP_Part02" btw, it is enough to just remove the folder to uninstall it, but as said, the save games created with the DlC installed will not work.
If you have problems with "Arrival" in the future, the fix is really not that complicated. We can talk you through.
