OH MY GOD

I forgot all the loyalty missions in ME2 and I completely forgot about Zaeed's. Like, what the heck kinda decision is that?? (I won't mention specifics bc spoilers but I always finish the loyalty bit of the mission bc I love Zaeed)... never done the alternative. 

 

But woah. So many side missions. So. Many. Who thought it was a good idea to marathon all of the games? Oh yeah. Me.

 

Why did I do that?

 

ANYWAY

 

Are there any loyalty missions in ME2 that you never did? And if you didn't do any, did they have repercussions?

 

[themikefest]

I've done all loyalty missions, but now when I play ME2, I just recruit 8 squadmates, do about 5 loyalty missions and destroy the collectors. Depending on who the player recruits and the loyalty missions done, everyone can survive with only having 8 squadmates

[cap and gown]

Missions I often skip:

Jack - no effect in ME3

Jacob - one line of dialogue is added if you do his LM, otherwise no difference in ME3

 

If I am feeling rather lethargic I might skip Garrus's LM because it has no effect in ME3. But generally I go and get the sniper rifle upgrade.

 

Thane's mission has only a small impact in ME3, and then only if you stop Kolyat. But since there is no fighting I generally at least go far enough in it to get the pistol upgrade, even if I don't bother tracking Kolyat.

that s kinda the point of ME2 "builiding your suicide team" story. But if i wanted to skip some, it wld be jack and jacob's too though they are quite fast. And Jacob's one is beautifully designed (graphics)

In zaeed's one, where do U get the AR upgrade if you dont take the loyalty route ? Shadow broker base ? Anyway, never had too much trouble deciding myself on this one.

[themikefest]

I will expand on my post above

 

This is what I normally do when playing ME2

 

recruit Miranda, Garrus, Zaeed, Kasumi, Jacob, Grunt, Jack and Mordin. Most times I don't do Jacob's and Garrus''s loyalty missions since they add nothing.

 

Since I don't usually recruit Tali, I will always have someone die because of no shield upgrade and that character most likely to be killed is Garrus

 

I do Modin's loyalty mission only if I want him in ME3 and when I sabotage the genophage.

 

Jack's loyalty mission is kind of a toss up. If I don't do her loyalty mission, I let Jacob get killed during the suicide mission

 

If I want to recruit Thane, it happens after the suicide mission since his loyalty mission means nothing

 

With Samara, if I decide to recruit her, I only do her loyaty mission if I have her do the barrier other wise I recruit her after the suicide mission. 

 

I've only done Legion's loyalty mission only a few times just to get peace in ME3 other wise I send it to Cerberus or never activate it

 

Miranda,, Zaeed, Kasumi are the one's I usually do loyalty missions for.

 

With Grunt, I will do his loyalty mission if I open the tank otherwise I leave him in the tank

 

I will do Tali's loyalty mission if I want peace in ME3 otherwise she might survive the suivide mission and at times I have recruited her after the suicide mission

I just realized that it has never occurred to me before to leave Grunt in the tank. Like?? I somehow always manage to forget that I can leave him in the tank and it has pretty much no impact.

Eeeeeeeeh I get that that's the point but like. I always avoid doing Jacob's and Garrus' missions for the longest possible amount of time because I just don't want to do them?? I can be very lazy.

 

Unfortunately, doing Zaeed's mission-- the renegade option of Zaeed's mission-- is the only way to get that particular AR upgrade (I'm pretty sure). There is no alternative for the AR upgrade but I'm pretty sure that if you take the paragon option you get an ammo upgrade of some kind.

If Shepard saves the workers, Shepard gets a heavy weapon ammo upgrade

 

If Shepard lets the workers die, Shepard gets an assault rifle upgrade

[TheN7Penguin]

I do them all. I'm very devoted to my crew.

 

 

I remember when I failed Thane's loyalty mission about six times in a row and was like, "WHERE THE HELL ARE THEY?".

 

It took me the suicide mission where Miranda died for some reason (despite the fact Thane was unloyal, not Miranda), then Mass Effect 3, then I returned to ME2 then I FINALLY realised that they went into a shop and I had to wait for them.

[capn233]

Yeah, I can't ever skip them because I want the upgrades.

[sjsharp2011]

Yeah I usually do all the loyalty missions as I like the idea of reverybody who goes in comes back out with me. I only tend to skip some o0n the occasions I want to mix things up a bit in ME3 or I'm doing a renegade run. As I tend to play a kind of my shep doesn't care too much outside the main mission in these instances

I did the same exact thing... took me a lot of frustrated yelling before I realized I was just being incredibly unobservant.

[SwobyJ]

I do every Loyalty mission to completionism (grabbing every upgrade, Para/Rene to ensure Loyalty, etc), unless I'm intentionally RPing a certain type of Shepard.

[bunch1]

I always thought ME1 was the side mission game considering every system had a planet with a merc, pirate, geth, cerberus base or rachni infestation set in the same prefab base with no real reason for you to go there. 
 

But answering the question I never skip a loyalty mission.  I may not like the characters or the missions themselves but I love how much vararity there is and the different enviornments they are set in.

[Winterking]

I usually do every single loyalty mission before the suicide mission unless I want a specific character to die.

 

To be honest I had only one playthrough where I didn't do Jacob's loyalty mission and another one where I didn't do Legion because I gave him to Cerberus.

For me that's one of the main reasons why ME2 is my favgouriet of the trilogy because it has a very wied variety of missions open for you to do fr

om 5 minute blast ups when you have to prevent a ship from crashing into a planet to some quiet big op-e4n looking areas like you visit in the Overlord DLC Also there aer a couple of missions where yoyu don't even need your weapons like the Normandy crash site and another ship crash site as wel wher eyou just have to get info from the computer I think where you just have to navigate around the ship til you get to it. I forget where the location of that mission  is though but I do remember the ship being on a cliff edge.

The Normady crash was always one of my favourites, morbid as it is. They did so well making it heavy with emotions and eerie as well.

The difference is that the side missions in ME2 are actually enjoyable (whoomp there it is).

[LudoPunk]

I love them all.. ME2 is just very character oriented, which makes it my favorite.

 

I even like the loyalty missions of characters I don't care much about (Jacob).

 

 

For RP purposes, I've avoided Grunt in my "canon" playthrough (I won't get into all the reasons why). But I love the mission itself. The stuff with the male Shaman is a funny counterpart to Eve later on. And I prefer letting Zaeed die..

 

 

Sure, some of them get mocked as "daddy issues", but I think there's more there if you look under the surface. Jacob's is more about how a Captain should respect his crew. And Miranda, somewhat controlling herself, fights being under control. I think it's good for her character to move away from this.

 

Some weird part of me just won't let Zaeed die so I always go for Vido instead of the alternative. Even with my Paragon Shepard. 

 

/intense shrugging

I think I like Zaeed because he makes me think of Mad Max?? Idk

[LudoPunk]

Zaeed is badass... I just have this wonky RP concept where my Shep is killing a part of himself by killing Zaeed.

 

He was a Renegade in ME1, but softens up over time. Zaeed is who he'd become if he grows old. Like Joker says.. "Zaeed is like you. Except he takes checks!" 

 

 

Besides, Zaeed is the best person to haunt your dreams in ME3. "Get it over with, so we can concentrate on being big goddamn heroes..."

 

 

Anyhow, I like that you can do this, but also complete the mission. It's one of the only missions like it (besides Samara, I think).

 

Ah but RP concepts are the best concepts 

[MegaIllusiveMan]

I can't not complete all the Missions. Even if they are boring, the completionist in me don't let them.

 

Truth be told, I still cry I can't remake the way on Zaeed Loyalty Mission to grab both Upgrades, instead of just the one from the path you chose
