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.
Interesting. Then I`d say `Shadow Broker` could be blamed here.
I purchased it along with ME and ME3 a while ago, created a character then for ME2 to just see if the game works but went on to play ME. And Miranda wasn't there.
I downloaded `Arrival`, `Overlord` and DLCs for ME3 rather recently.
Arrival and Shadow are deleted now and I uninstalled and reinstalled ME2.
I`d rather play Shadow Broker again to be honest. I immensely enjoyed Jennifer Hales voice acting in that one and Shepard's in general badassness 🙂
I know what you mean, Jennifer Hales voice acting is the reason why I almost always play a FemShep.
You should not be afraid to install a DLC again, normally they don't make problems.
Download "Shadow Broker" from here and put the installer into the ME2 Game directory. (>drive<:\Program Files (x86)\Origin Games\Mass Effect 2 or >drive<::\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Mass Effect 2)
Then run the installer as Administrator. (right click the exe > Run as Administrator)
As by all other program installations, you should close all not necessary background programs (especially of course Origin/Steam and the game) and disable the real time scanner of your Anti-virus software for the installation process.
I think, I`ll play ME2 through as it is right now `cause dear! this game is a treasure and probably will download Shadow later on.
But thank you for your help and advice, they`re very much appreciated 🙂
