Citadel Assments
Citadel Assments are a sificant portion of the side content available in Mass Effect 1, offering players opportunities to engage in various tasks and investigations that flesh out the game's world and characters. These assments often involve dialogue-heavy interactions, short combat encounters, or simple fetch quests, and they play a crucial role in building Commander Shepard's reputation and influence within the galactic community.
Examples of these assments include 'Citadel: Garrus,' where Shepard assists Garrus Vakarian in his personal mission to hunt down the elusive and dangerous Dr. Saleon, a rogue scientist involved in illegal experiments. Another notable assment is 'Citadel: Wrex,' which tasks Shepard with retrieving a valuable piece of Krogan family armor for Urdnot Wrex, a quest that delves into his lineage and honor. 'Citadel: Reporter's Request' involves dealing with Khalisah Bint Sinan al-Jilani, a persistent reporter whose inquiries can lead to either Paragon or Renegade outcomes depending on Shepard's responses. These assments are typically acquired by speaking with various NPCs on the Citadel or by overhearing conversations in public areas.
The strategy for completing Citadel Assments is to approach them methodically as they become available. Many of these assments offer opportunities to gain sificant amounts of Paragon or Renegade points, depending on the choices made during dialogue or the actions taken. This is crucial for players aiming to achieve high morality scores, which unlock special dialogue options and influence Shepard's interactions with other characters. Completing these assments also contributes to the overall completion percentage of the game and provides valuable experience points and credits. They serve as excellent diversions from the main storyline, allowing players to explore the Citadel in greater detail and interact with its diverse inhabitants.
