I've DL'd the happy ever after ending, reinstalled the game with ALL the DLC (everything . . . wow, there's a LOT lol), so, is there a really perfect, "THIS IS THE WAY TO DO THE MISSIONS" mission order/checklist out there please? I'd love to do a run through of ME3 with the MEHEM mod installed. Thank you.

Not as far as I know but generally the order for the DLC is

javik one first
Leviathan
Omega
Citadel
you can switch the middle two but the rest seems to fit better into the story. As for the missions look up the wiki and see which ones you need to do first.

I've always wondered what the minimum ME1>ME3 mission playthrough is like, i.e. the least amount of stuff you have to do.

Priority: Palaven

Grissom Academy

Visit Citadel and explore.  Do Aria’s quests.

Omega DLC

N7: Cerberus Lab

Priority: Sur’Kesh

Attican Traverse: Krogan Team

Visit Citadel and explore/complete quests

N7: Cerberus Abductions

Tuchanka: Turian Platoon

N7: Cerberus Attack

Priority: Tuchanka

N7: Cerberus Fighter Base

Priority: The Citadel II

Explore Citadel

Leviathan DLC through Mahavid

Priority: Geth Dreadnought

Rannoch: Admiral Koris

Rannoch: Geth Fighter Squadrons

Priority: Rannoch

N7: Fuel Reactors

Leviathan through Namakli

Citadel DLC main story

Priority: The Citadel III

Explore Citadel/complete quests

You need to vary up mission order in some cases if you want to see just how much work BW put into contextualizing some of the missions. Taking Liara and the VS on the Tuchanka: Bomb mission gives that mission quite a different flavor than doing it before the coup. Likewise, doing the Rachni mission after Priority: Tuchanka changes both those missions around a bit, as does changing the order in which you do Thessia and the Monastery mission.

There are a few meta-gaming issues, however. For instance, I do the Citadel main mission fairly early so I can get the Suppressor, Lancer, and various higher level weapon mods quickly. I also visit Bryson's lab as soon as possible to get those mods.

I do Eden Prime after Palaven, since you can't tale Javik with anyway. I don't have Omega, but I'd probably do it post Citadel Coup, as that's when I'd be most inclined to kick Cerberus hard and overlook the fact Aria was quite the despot.

Otherwise, other than doing the entire Geth/Quarian war at once right after the Coup, that's pretty much my run through as well. I always wait for the full team before doing Shore Leave, and then do the party just before the finale.

The only thing I'd recommend is saving the last bit of Leviathan until after Thessia. Otherwise you have team-members acting surprised when Vendetta tells them stuff that they already know from Leviathan.

Anyway, ignoring side-missions which can pretty much be done whenever:

Earth through to Palaven.

Grissom Academy
Eden Prime

Sur'kesh
Rachni
Tuchunka

Citadel Coup
Any Cerberus side-missions I have available
Omega

Entire Rannoch arc
Turian Bomb missions (Bringing the VS)

Leviathan 1&2
Thessia
Sanctuary
Leviathan 3

Citadel Shore-leave

Finale - Kronos and Earth.

I save From Ashes (Javik DLC) for after Palaven as you can't bring him on that mission. I like to play through that mission immediately after however as you still get Javik very early in the game, and don't miss dialogue.

The Omega DLC works best after the Citadel Coup IMO, because Omega was supposedly used as a staging area for Cerberus attacks across the galaxy. It would make sense if Omega was also the planning/staging area for the Citadel Coup, and the desire to strike back at Cerberus post-coup provides an explanation as to why Shepard is helping Aria retake it.

The Leviathan DLC works best after Thessia because the Prothean VI on Thessia will reveal things already known to the team if you've run through the Leviathan missions, yet Shepard & co act like its the first time they've heard it.

Also you encounter Banshees in Leviathan, and the Ardat-Yakshi monastery side mission that opens up just before Thessia has Banshees as well. The problem with doing the monastery mission after Leviathan is that your squadmates will act like they've never seen a Banshee before during the monastery mission, even though you've already encountered them in the DLC. For that reason its best to play the monastery mission before the DLC as well.

The Citadel DLC I think works best if you split into parts. The main mission works best after Rannoch when you have a full squad (Tali) and because the reason given for shore leave is the Normandy suffering battle damage and needing repairs. Given that Traynor has some dialogue about the Normandy having a very close call escaping the Rannoch Reaper, it fits in nicely with the Normandy needing maintenance.

Play the main Citadel DLC mission after Rannoch, but save the Citadel DLC party for right before the assault on the Illusive Man's base. There is dialogue during the party about it being their last chance to blow off steam before potentially heading into oblivion, so it seems to fit best right before the final battle. Also you'll need to have completed Horizon if you want Miranda at the party.

I don't have a set path for missions for I like hearing the dialogue get mixed up a bit.

The only exception really is I make sure I do the Grissom Academy almost immediately after getting it because it will disappear if you do two or three missions before it (like the crew rescue mission in Mass Effect 2). The priority I have is making sure I do the side missions on Tuchanka and Rannoch before the primary mission for they disappear when you complete the primary mission.

Thinking back, the other thing I do is hold off having the Party part of the Citadel until after Horizon for then you can have everyone attend for some attendees are limited to if you have completed their missions first.

Other than that I find it really depends on who you have in your squad and how you like to play for it gives a different experience and really can make replays more fun (at least for me).

I never even knew the Bomb mission was still available post coup. Interesting to try on current run.

Saving the Turian Platoon starts a 3 mission timer for the bomb. Doesn't matter what 3 missions. So if you do the platoon, then cure the Genophage, return for the Citadel Coup, and go back for the bomb, that's ok. But if you do a sidemission in there as well, BOOM.

You could always do the rachni mission, cure/sabotage genophage, then the coup and go back forTurian Platoon then the bomb.

You could even do Turian Platoon after Rannoch; it only cancels after Thessia. (I guess that would mean those guys are pinned down on Tuchanka for... months?)

Weeks at least. The Primarch could not be best pleased with that. :P

I've always done it right before the Shroud. But it has occurred to me to try it post-Shroud just once to see what it changes, since that's where Eve is 'preaching' when it would go off.

It fails if you complete Citadel II (the Coup) before attempting it.

I usually try to postpone as much stuff as possible until post-Rannoch so I've got Tali along for as much as possible, but also find it rather jarring that way (end up with a heap of side-missions at the end). I suppose there's no hack to get her along earlier? I'm guessing that unlike ME2 it was planned this way so having her along for missions she normally can't go on would just break something.

NeroonWilliams, I REALLY like your list, but when you say "Visit Citadel and explore/complete quests", which quests are you talking about? I mean, there are a LOT of quests to do on the citadel, that start and end on the citadel, or that either start OR end on the citadel, know what I mean, mate? Would you, could you, elaborate please?
