There are many fantastic side missions in the Mass Effect series--known in-game as Assignments--that are well worth your time. There are also plenty that aren't worth doing at all, so we've compiled below a list of some of the best side missions you won't want to skip during your time playing the series in Mass Effect: Legendary Edition.

Note that we've only listed Assignments from the first Mass Effect so far. We'll be updating this feature with even more you shouldn't miss in other games in the coming days. Otherwise, be sure to read our Mass Effect: Legendary Edition review in progress.
