Are there missions which you find so tedious, nonsensical, etc. that you just skip them?

Lately I have been skipping Cerberus Lab and Cerberus Abductions. I dislike the N7 maps in general. I dislike having enemies coming at me from at least two, often three different directions. That might work in multi-player where a human can cover your flank, but not with AI squadies. But these missions in particular are annoying for the endless stream of enemies that pour in. It becomes more of chore than a challenge. Ok, shoot some over on the left flank, now go check the right flank to shoot some more, now go back to shooting some on the left flank, and so on ad-infinitum.

Yeah, those missions are optional so avoid them If I feel like it, generally though if it's story related I play through it. Sometimes in ME1 or ME2 I'll skip some of the DLC, like Bring down the sky or overlord.

All of the N7 missions, the mission with Jacob, and all the meetups on the Citadel except for the person I'm romancing.

Last twenty minutes of Earth and no, not because of the ending, it's just that I love, love the beginning segment of it. That Reaper "horn" gun shot that goes off every few seconds always gave me chills, sound team did an excellent job.

N7 and Fetch quests.

I find all of Priority: Earth to be a chore. I don't know why. Maybe because I know those two Banshees at the end are going to make my life a pain. Lately, I have been taking it up to the Party after Horizon and then dropping it, although that means missing the final romance scene. And since I rarely use my LI for the final stage that means no meaningful farewell. (Maybe I should drop the difficulty down just so can have Liara along for the final push. But somehow that feels like cheating.)

Hell I wish Aria were the Asari Councilor. Act I: "Shepard, I've got a job for you. I've got some information, but first I need to you go to Thessia and kill Matriarch _______. She's been a real pain in the ass with this war effort. Contact me on an encrypted channel when it's done, and I'll tell you where to go next."

"Done."

"Go to the Temple of Athame. Take that pet of yours. You might find something useful."

Priority Earth. nuff said

[Fixers0]

All of the N7  Sidequests, that's something Alliance regulars can fix up.

[KaiserShep]

I guess they could, but technically, they don't. RIP Grace Sato and Captain Riley.

There's exactly one piece of content in the whole trilogy which I regularly skip: Pinnacle Station. Everything else gets done one way or the other, and I actually feel bad about skipping anything, but I just can't bring myself to play that even though I paid for it.

[cooldonkeyfish]

There is not a single mission that I skip.
I've played through ME1 16 times, ME2 15 times and ME3 9 times and each time I have done literally every mission, side mission and explored every planet.
OCD is a beach. :happy:

And apparently you like taking long walks on the beach.

In ME3, I generally only skip missions based on character alignment. My Paragon Shepards tend to skip Aria's quests (recruiting the mercs and/or the Omega DLC). I also don't often do the kakliosaur fossil - it doesn't unlock until later in the game, as far as I can tell, and I almost never stumble across it in the course of normal system scanning.

Also, for my current (and perhaps final) run with my canon Shepard, I'm going to wait and play the Citadel DLC after I get to the ending. It's fun, but it doesn't really fit that well into the narrative, IMO, and the characters act a bit like parodies of themselves.

It was clearly inspired by the sound the Tripods make in the War of the Worlds remake, but I agree it was very appropriate and the sound design team did an excellent job.

On topic, I want to skip Cerberus Abductions, Investigate Cerberus Prescence and Communications Hub, but I wind up doing them anyways. I don't know if I have OCD or something, but I can't stand having missions blinking on my map.

I do not skip any. If it starts to feel tedious, I play something else for awhile then go back.

[Bleachrude]

It usually makes no sense to SKIP a side-quest mission since there is no change in the narrative in the following missions...

However, I do admit that in ME3, skipping both the Turian bomb and the Grissom Academy (especially the latter) you might want to do. The latter especially if you had given David Archer to grissom and do the ex-cerberus scientists....

I agree, and I thought of WotW too at the time. Though, this is also something I guess I forgot in my Mass Effect/Dead Space thread last week - the marker at the end of DS2 does something similar when summoning the necromorphs.

Ooooh, what happens to David if you skip Grissom? I do like how Dr. Archer commits suicide if you left David with Overlord and do the Scientist mission after you destroy the Geth, it was a nice touch.

[Bleachrude]

Does the suicide thing if you let Priority: Grissom Academy expire wand you had taken Daivid away from him, which as you said, was a nice tough.

That and hearing how Cerberus brainwashed jack to become a phantom was disturbing when you did Chronos station...
