Alright, so I'm close to 50 hours or so deep in the game and still haven't decided on a faction.
First, please don't have any spoilers in your responses. @joxer;, be careful please.
Alright, so, I was intent on joining the Berserkers. Magic, magical weapons, arrows that seek out targets. It seemed right up my alley. Their laws are a little 'meh' but I ended up doing everything I could with them and am on the verge of joining them.
But…
Then I met the Outlaws at the Fort. And while they are a ruthless bunch, I love their low-tech weaponry. Grenades especially (I ended up getting a point in the Grenades skill just to sling em better.) And I like the idea of possibly bringing some decency to that place, as well as having freedom from strict laws (but still, gotta be a decent dude here. )
One drawback of joining them would be I was also building a Personality/Intelligence character, so ideally I'd be better for magic and not the Constitution-heavy skills the Outlaws offer.
No XP penalty on stims is tempting though. I do like me some Lifeblood.
Finally, I just went to Hort and saw the Clerics. Their energy weapons interest me, and PSI seems cool too, but I just don't like their ways. Too cold, too mechanical. So I probably won't join them.
So it's really between the Outlaws and Berserkers for me.
I feel like I have to make a stronger commitment to a real battle style. So far, I started as a Dexterity/Ranged character, and also invested heavily in Intelligence so I could eventually learn magic and a bunch of the Personality skills. I'm thinking I'll keep upgrading the Group skill and I'll be a combat supplement to my companion, not the main damage dealer. And generally use Personality every other which way to my advantage when I can.
My style in battle right now is basically let Duras handle the work while I run around slinging grenades or an occasional Alb spell. But for my supplemental damage I think I need to commit stronger to one style with the faction I join (obviously.)
Oh, and I like crossbows too! So that would be a good bonus for joining the Outlaws as well.
My stats are something like:
Level 11
20 Str
15 Con
30 Dex
50 Int
30 Cun
A sort of jack-of-all-trades a bit so far.
Who should I join? Remember, (my) Jax's life is in your hands!
