Omgs I know, WHY WOULD YOU EVER COVER YOUR AWESOME BOSS FACE WHEN YOU GET TO YELL AT FOLKS IN THE MIDDLE OF FIREFIGHTS?!
You don't get to go to Earth in ME2, but you do in ME3 although not for all that long. Skirting spoilers, but it is neither DC nor New York.
The DLC should show up just fine in your game even if you've already started. It's designed so that people could buy it later, go back and load up their saves when they'd COMPLETED the game and go BACK and play it if they wanted, so don't worry.
I love your justification for being slow about things as a Renegade! :D I'm the opposite of you though, I can't leave stuff unfinished! I feel I Didn't Save Someone or something! But I think it'll make for a more interesting and personalised experience for you when you get through to 2 and 3 though, because as the series continues, what side-quests you do and don't do have more and more effects on what happens to various characters (both in large and small terms) and sometimes in ways you wouldn't expect. Like in ME3 some characters survive or die certain scenarios partially based on what you did or didn't do for them in previous games. Again, skirting big spoilers, but I remember a moment I actually had to look up on the net to see if I'd deducted what had happened correctly is when one minor character you've met a few times in previous games shows up in ME3, then you think the character will die, but gets saved by a TOTALLY DIFFERENT minor character you had the option of interacting with once in a previous game and - if you encouraged her into the line of work she is now in - saves the guy, but if you encouraged her into a different line of work, the guy dies. CRAZYSAUCE.
Basically my deep reasonings for using one and not the other=ovaries before brovaries. I am so very very bad at being tactical. Just like the weapons confuse me in ME2.
I REALLY REALLY WANTED THAT TO BE MY REASONING TOO. But then she just got space racist creepy and I had to ditch her.
I did discover, however, that it's perfectly possible to play through all the Mass Effect games using only a single gun and not knowing what the hell you're doing as long as you leave it on casual. *thumbs up*
Your fish will be fine as long as you feed them between missions. I'm mostly bitter because I did this OBSESSIVELY until Kelly offered to feed them for me in exchange for dinner that I am going to STUDIOUSLY INSIST WENT NO FURTHER. And what happens when I get back from my next damn mission? MY FUCKING FISH ARE DEAD. So I bought more immediately and...she did seem to feed those. But ::sideeye::
Jacob is a romance option, yes. So is Garrus, and I gotta be honest if I coulda done that in ME1 I would have been ALL OVER HIM, except then I get to ME2 and the game tricked me into monogamy with a paragon interrupt! (Okay, it didn't, but I felt too filthy and unheroic to break up with anyone...seriously, I need to make a post at some point about the trials of my Mass Effect relationships. They seem to be a series of accidents or examples of terrible judgement. Like when I slept with Miranda instead of Jack. I still don't really know why I did that. Maybe my Guy!Shep was hankering after a brunette space racist? Though I gotta be honest, I like the idea of Jack more than her execution.)
Seriously, my relationship with this game is like: OMG THE TECHNOLOGICAL NARRATIVE META, IT IS SO DEEP! Wait, whut, kissing? Ahahahaha lolz that's awesome. Oh no, wait, what did I dooooooo?!!
I actually installed the no scar system thingy for the medical bay so he could get his face fixed up.
THAT IS ADORABLE. (Also that's a totally different Krogan...) :p Although you can meet up with Wrex later.
And don't worry, Tali, the Quarian, comes back too. She's my FAVOURITE. I want to adopt her.
