As many of the quests in can be solved or completed in multiple different ways, including "," it can be difficult to know exactly which decision will net the best rewards or story outcomes. Solutions that are seemingly quicker and easier can often end up giving less rewards or even costing a significant amount of extra resources. Additionally, companion approval can change heavily depending on which decisions are made in quests, with some less moral options having the potential to negatively affect certain relationships.
One of 's many split-path decisions comes as the third quest for the United Colonies Vanguard faction, "." Since the UC is located in New Atlantis, however, this quest can be accessed fairly early into the game, depending on the order in which 's missions are played. In the lead-up to the quest, previous missions for the faction have players fighting a Terrormorph, which leads to being requested to find Dr. Percival Walker, a scientist who can further analyze a sample from the alien monster's corpse. Attempting to find Walker leads to the Trade Authority on Cydonia, where the various branching paths of the quest are introduced in full.

Once the Trade Authority on Cydonia has been reached, an NPC named Oktai Embayar will reveal that Walker is currently missing and that he has a sizable outstanding debt. Information from Oktai points to the Sixth Circle Bar, where more information can be obtained from the bartender, Lou. After a few dialogue options, Lou will agree to reveal Walker's location, but only after Walker's debt is settled, which is where the branching paths of the quest start. From here, three options are available — paying Walker's debt in full, breaking into Trade Authority server room to change the amount he owes, or a third option involving taking out a Spacer captain.

The first and fastest option for completing the quest is to simply pay off Walker's entire debt to the Trade Authority — 21,867 credits in total. The option to do this is available from the first conversation with Oktai, and speeds up the completion of quest by a considerable amount, as players can simply proceed to Lou afterward and inform him that the debt has already been paid to have him divulge Walker's location. Notably, this path through the quest can be done regardless of which skills the player character may or may not possess, making it a universal option.
Overall, however, this is likely the worst way to complete the quest, as it takes a sizable amount of credits and misses out on the gameplay of other options. Once Walker is found, the option offers no special dialogue or story moments,
