With Mass Effect: Legendary Edition launching later this year, returning fans and newcomers alike may find themselves wondering when to complete the various main story and side missions for optimal results. It will be in a player's best interest to save the loyalty missions that require demanding Paragon/Renegade checks until they near the end of the main story.
Many loyalty missions rely on Shepard's Paragon or Renegade score, which is based on the player's moral choices during the game. With 12 total squadmates, including DLC characters, players will need to make time and plan to complete 12 loyalty missions. Securing squadmate loyalty is a major focus of Mass Effect 2, particularly prior to the endgame Suicide Mission, where characters' survival depends on the player's choices. The galaxy can be a massive, sometimes overwhelming place, and exploring it in Mass Effect 2can be an overwhelming undertaking.
