Tychus Findlay, keeps asking me to go and find these ancient relics, supposedly to sell to the mobieus guys. during one of these missions I have to extract an artifact from the planet Xil which the protos regard as a sacred place hence turning hostile towards me at the end of the mission. saying: "this transgression will echo among the stars" or something close to that... I am wondering if the game has some sort of branching storyline similar to mass effect? by doing this mission, am I somewhat making an enemy towards the protos? or does this game doesn't have any branching storyline at all? no spoiler please

Yes it does have a branching storyline ^^

that means there are missions that I could completely avoid doing? okay, I'll try skipping the mission on planet Xil. thanks a bunch!

U need to save at some point to branch out to different ending, instead of redoing the whole campaign again.

the main storyline will still be the same.

you only can get alternate endings for side stories

noted.

okey dokey.

If I remember correctly, this will happen 4 times:

1. Appease or anger the Protoss (the one the TS is talking about)

2. Protect the Terran settlement or let the zerg have their way

3. Ally with Tosh or Nova (this is where you get to choose between the Spectres or Ghosts)

4. Destroy the Nydus network or the spires (which will culminate in how you want the last mission to be: vs ground units or vs air units)

Regardless of what you choose though, as soon as you finish the mission of your choosing, the alternate mission will be unlocked for you to play through so you could still earn the achievements on it.

sorry for replying so late, but I found this to be helpful so thanks!
