Different campaign paths

[Lotrek]

The main story path leads you to a moment when you must choose where to go: MSF base, Mercenary Base or Triada base. You get a hard save actually called crossroads when you reach this point in the game so you can go back to that point if you wish to change your mind. Follow Greyhair's advice and go the merc route if you wish to follow the NESF storyline.
