So I still haven't gotten around to finishing Mass Effect yet, but I know I want to.  I also know I like free DLC so I went ahead and pre-ordered Mass Effect 2.

I know I'm not going to finish Mass Effect before Mass Effect 2 comes out and that's fine, it's a game I know I'm going to buy so it makes not a lot of difference to me if I buy it now rather than two months down the line.  I figure on day one I'll pop in the game to get the free DLC and then not touch it again until I actually finish Mass Effect.

But there's a wrinkle in this plan-- the new game plus.

I know you don't keep your levels, weapons, ect, but if I start up Mass Effect 2 just to download the free DLC before I finish Mass Effect will I mess up any potential bonuses I might get in Mass Effect 2?
