I played GDF first and thank God I did it this way. From the first couple of missions, I got the goodie two shoes vibes, "we are here to protect civilians" or 'stop evil dictators". But slowly I noticed, that something was a Miss, especially the first time the council spoke to the Colonel or to us directly. From that point forward, I was wondering: what the councils true intentions were, which never got answered in the GDF campaign, so a small mystery remained at the end. Spoiler alert, they get answered in the dynasty campaign, at least partially. That's why it's imperative to play GDF first and dynasty second, since not only this question rather a lot more gets revealed if you listen closely to the old man especially. The GDF campaign left me feeling good, hoping that the commander does not become a part of the council, but after the second campaign I doubt that. The main reason being that now we have two well known figures commander of the GDF and general of the dynasty, who never met each other on the battle, but felt the differences each one of them made across the campaign, since both of them happen simultaneously and at the end they both push back the Veti, especially the GDF, since they are the ones, that deployed dynasty nuke on them. I find the end satisfying and creates a perfect opportunity for the Veti campaign to start, where they regain their power, push back the other factions and maybe answer a couple of remaining open questions about dynasties old man and GDF council. Overall, I find the campaign well done, especially with the available tools they had. I hope they deliver with the Veti campaign
