You don't have to worry about it your first time through. But also remember that the game wasn't really designed for a single person to discover everything themselves. You can always go look for hints online.
I would say Overlord is better than decent, and if you're gonna be going from ME2 to 3, you might as well play The Arrival. It's not the best piece of DLC ever, but it bridges the stories between 2 and 3 so you don't just start ME3 going "what the hell is going on here?"
I can't speak to any of the ME3 DLC because I haven't played it, but I thought all of the ME2 stuff was worth playing, especially Lair of the Shadow Broker.
I was gonna write a bunch of words, but @MarkWahlberg said it way better than I was going to, so nevermind.
Just for a bit of perspective, here's the original BioShock's cover:
This is how covers for things work.
And by the way, this is a first-person shooter. Your primary mode of interaction with the game world is shooting shit in the face. So, let's take a step back before we press a bit too hard on the "frat boys" thing, shall we? You are not a scholar for playing BioShock.
I figured out what was going on. It has to do with switching difficulties. The ratings and chapter scores are specific to the difficulty that you last played a mission on, but the high scores are cross-difficulty.
It would probably be less confusing if the mission select menus just showed you scores and ratings for all difficulties rather than just choosing the most recently played and then not explaining that. Kinda weird that it seems like you need to enter and exit a mission if you want to see your scores and ratings for a different difficulty.
I've completed the first four missions of the game, achieving ratings of either Shadow, Specialist, or Silent Assassin on each. My scores are still there on the leaderboards, but the ratings have been reset to Agent, and the individual scores for each chapter of a mission are now 0.
This might have been only when I happened to notice, but I'm pretty sure this issue was caused when I went back to replay the scored section of the intro/tutorial mission on Purist difficulty (from level select, not the "new game" option on the main menu).
So what's up with this? Did it really reset my scores because I went to replay a mission, as if I were starting a new playthrough and would enjoy having all my records erased? Or is this is a bug? Either way, it's pretty annoying.
It's worse for me. I'm so good, that the moment I get into a COD4 server, everyone just shits themselves and leaves so I can't even play anymore. Must be nice to only be way too good instead of way, way, WAY too good....
