Just by numbers:

ME3: 8 side missions (listed above) + 6 N7 quests
ME 2: 20 side missions
ME1: 57 side missions

I maybe missing some from ME3, but you get the point.


Indeed, but I'll definitely take one "Tuchanka Bomb Mission" over 10 ME1 assignments, for example.

@Ozida I honestly did not know ME2 had 20 side missions. actually, that reminds me of another thing I miss; the little side missions were you had to talk to people to complete them. I really enjoyed the mission with the patriarch at omega in ME2.

Sorry, I had to correct that. There actually were more, my mistake.

Yeah, the bulk of the talking-intensive side quests in ME3 are really disappointing. I don't have much problem with the level of auto-dialogue in the game, but some of those conversations really take it to the extreme.

Somewhat paradoxically, then, I actually do enjoy those "side with one person or another" disputes in ME3.

It honestly doesn't feel like ME2 had 50+ side missions.

Are you counting fetch quests and loyalty missions?

He or she absolutely must be. In which case I'd contend we start throwing in all the fetch quests, choose-a-side confrontations, and so forth in ME3.

@JeffZero I do like the short "side with one person" disputes to. they added a little more story of what is happening. I just really miss the talking centric and N7 ( specifically ME2 ) side missions. I actually enjoyed some of those more than actual story missions from al ME games.

Man, I hated those threshers. They were like the Mass Effect equivalent of jump-scares. And I hate jump-scares. I was so terrified of disturbing one (I play on Insanity), that I would find out where they would pop up. They actaully like flat areas around mountains, so that helped.[/quote][/quote]

[quote]Ozida wrote...But wasn't that what made the Insanity mode at least partly... well, insane? ;)

You have a point. Mass Effect would not be the same if it didn't have Uncharted Worlds. But, I still do groan when hackett calls in and says that we have a problem with some probe or something. I mean srsly? I'm kinda busy saving the galaxy. I always lol if when I'm supposed to do Ios and Hackett just calls in, "Hey Shep, we gots some monkeys you need to look through..." Like, I just escaped from the Citidel 5 min ago!

I went to the psuedo link he provided and didn't find any information on this one has this, this one has that.  Looking http://masseffect.wi...m/wiki/Missions I still can't come up with that number.  There are, of course, scan missions that didn't show up here, but unless the count includes Dossier Missions, and loyalty missions, I can't see the side quest count being that high.

Mass Effect 1's side missions may have been lower quality but in my opinion they helped introduce me to the atmosphere and experience the Mass Effect that I came to love

Side missions in ME1 were fine.


Walking into the same room 30-40 times, just decoraed with slightly different wallpapers, killing the same people over and over again while they shout "I'll destroy you" and "Hold the line" made me pull my eyes out.

ME3 may have lesser side missions than 1 and 2 but I liked them more than the others. They were better crafated and had an emotional pull lacking in the missions of the first two. Its quality over quantity for me.

Technically the loyalty missions are listed under primary missions, not assignments.

I wish they'd make Shepard say YOU DON'T SAY everytime he/she heard those..

How many people had to rewatch the cutscene a bunch of times cause they messed up on the character creation?

Wasn't as bad in ME3. Watching the Normandy blow up over and over again  was brutal, I must have seen it at least 30 times.

Whelp, flying into the same cluster with planets in slightly different places each time to play pacman with the Reapers was even worse IMO. That got real old real fast, especially when it was only one or two pings until "BRRRRRRRRRP" "Reapers evaded".

Personally I like a mix of both - quality and quantity. I don't want one mission that was like the Rachni ME3 one only actually engaging rather than tiring, and I don't want the scan ping fest that ME3 had for its other quests. ME1 and ME2 had a balance - there was some side missions that had substance and felt important, though they might not have been as well crafted as ME3, and there were quite a few of them too. ME3 had 3 or 4 good missions, and a whole crapton of seriously ****ty sidequests. I'd take a balance of Quality and Quantity over what was in ME3.

Technically the loyalty missions are listed under primary missions, not assignments.

Then technically so Should the Tuchanka Bomb, Rachni, Two Rannoch, Asari Temple - ect. Quests. Niether of them is compulsory for the main story to advance, however both can affect the story in some way [ME2 via Loyalty, ME3 via EMS].

Yep technically everything should be primary mission. Even having sex with Liara. It had an impact on the story and the ending. :P
