A lot of times I get questions that I don't think would deserve an entire thread so I don't bother because don't want to just crank out thread after thread which would end in a few posts; so if it's cool I'm going to just be posting minor questions that arise here in this thread that will never end probably. So to start the never ending deluge...
Now I'm in Bloodfields and I get faction for Children of Dranik and Riftkeepers that says "can't possibly get higher faction"; so I've always been presuming (everything I do seems to be based on presuming since there's no manual, as it were) that anyone on that faction list will regard me as an ally and not attack me or anything; this is how it's seemed to work in the past- I get faction and the people on the faction list regard me more positively. But anyway, so I go to Dranik's Scar and the guys on the faction list attack me on sight. These are the guys it says "can't possibly get any higher"? I expected they'd all be "oh hey here's our dude right here, we love this guy" but no, attack to kill. It's like, if this is "can't go any higher" reaction, I'd hate to see "can't get any lower" they must explode in balls of shrieking fire upon seeing you.
But what's going on here? What have I mis-presumed? Why are they attacking me "scowling ready to attack" and not "judges you amiably" or something? How is the faction relevant to the people of the faction?
I ask this one because it kind of affects my play; I've accidentally lowered faction in the past, and now when I see faction hits/gains I take more notice. Now here in Bloodfields I'm not sure I'm wanting to hurt faction so am holding off on attacking Dragorns without knowing how the faction is relevant.
