I don't skip, but I do sometimes not bother to update Thane on his target during his LM. As you gain the same amount of XP, credits and upgrades even when you fail, and you can complete it much faster.

I lke the sidequests in ME2. They're all neat little handscrafted levels. They don't take long anyways. I also just like seeing them from a RP perspective. It's cool stopping some Batarian terrorists with Jack and Zaeed. Just the idea of it is cool.
The problem I have with a few of them is the razor-thin motivation for Shepard to be involved. There have been mercs serving on the Normandy (Wrex and Zaeed), so it seems odd that EDI simply reporting "merc activity" (as opposed to a clear indication of mercs involved in something illegal or dangerous) means that Shepard needs to get involved. Why does the discovery of a long-lost shipwreck require Shepard to risk his/her life tiptoeing around it to recover some minerals and mess with a console - don't the Alliance and the Council have specialists for that sort of thing?
The level design is better than those repetitive bases in ME1, but at least with those, you have Hackett or somebody asking Shepard to go there and explaining why it's important. We can quibble over whether that really fits the "race against time," but ME2 is implicitly guilty of the same thing - logically, you'd think that doing more sidequests or loyalty missions might lead to more colonies being attacked, but it just...doesn't. The colony attacks seem to proceed based on how often Shepard walks past crew members who talk about them.

Shepard doesn't need to get involved. If you think the side mission is beneath Shepard, then move on and let the geth-ridden ship crash, and let the quarian get eaten by varren. I like to characterize Shepard as a mad action junkie that enjoys policing the random mayhem of the galaxy.

Kinda like Conrad?

Conrad is stuck being like ME1 Shep though. Has that ugly armor, digs through crates, and doesn't even know about thermal clips (can't blame him for that last one though).

Onyx heavy armor is not ugly!

I gimp myself. Every playthrough I use the Onyx X heavy armor, I play on veteran. I die really quickly with such crappy armor, but that just means I need to use more skill. I use the armor glitch to make all my Shepard's use the heavy version, because ME2's intro proves that Shepard of all classes canonically wore the heavy version of Onyx. Adapt? Heavy. Engineer? Heavy. Shepard wore heavy, and I stick to that.
I also rarely wear anything but N7 armor in ME2 or 3 either. I seem to like gimping myself to keep the canon look...

I mostly do that for color schemes, but I like Armax in ME3 (the actual Armax pieces.. not the DLC Cerberus stuff). It looks rugged, like something out of mad max.
I dig all the bonus medieval stuff as well (blood dragon and the amalur sets).
I'm trying right now with Mass Effect 1... by not doing ALL the side quests, including the mining. But I caved, and met myself halfway. I'm doing all the mining, but I'm not importing this character a 2nd time to get her to 60.
And in me2/me3, DA:O, DA2, and any other RPG... I do EVERYTHING I can find. I can't help it! I can't leave something half done. Drives. Me. Crazy. My husband is similar, except he can turn it on and off at will. I can't I wish I could do that.

Where do you *find* Onyx X heavy armor? I had planned to keep my canon Shepard in her N7 uniform throughout ME1 this time around for Fraps purposes, but I only have Onyx IV heavy armor even though I'm on my second re-import of this character. I ended up caving and giving her a heavy level X armor as soon as I got to Feros.

I rarely skip any in ME3, but I do skip quite a few in ME2 - it is kinda pointless to do all of them as you hit the level cap pretty early anyway. If I want to grind, I rather go to the Armax Arena.
I didn't think you got any XP from the arena. I don't think I have seen it, though sometimes I may already be at level 60 by then anyway.
Oh, and yeah, those sidequest in ME2 don't really contribute to the story in ME3 so I skip them.

Check out Ottemis' hd reskins of the Cerberus dlc armor, the femshep n7 version is godlike.
