When you join the Outlaws or Clerics, you're still a member of your original faction and can learn skills from both factions, right?
Wut Angelo said it's mostly larp, with the actual in game differences being primarily what highest tier gear you get access to. Morkons/Outlaws got the best armor, Morks got the best melee weapons, et cetera.

Zerkers really don't have the best of anything besides 1 handed, best bow is a unique you can find, and their armor is really shitty.

It doesn't seem like there's any incentive to go factionless. I guess the only reason to go that route is a greater challenge? Does anyone know if there's a special ending or something for not joining any faction?

There is a participation award for doing so. You can get better amor later than any faction armor.

If you're the go everywhere take everything type you'll get enough captain axes to get the second best 1 handed melee weapon a couple times over, enough leadspreaders for the best shotgun, et cetera. You can steal enough damaged weapons to make the enhanced lazer rifle mk3 and enhanced plasma cannon mk2. Not to mention in most other categories uniques are the best in class. You really only miss out on slightly better 1 and 2 handed melee weapons by going factionless aside from the skills of course.
Rain of fire?
Still better to go outlaw after joining the zerkers and get 60 total more armor in addition to having the magic even if you don't plan on learning a single pointless stimulant skill.

Plasma cannons technically do the most damage per shot topping out at 696 but they are heavy weapons and you can't fly while using them making stuff like the unique Nade launchers more attractive. You don't even have to join the clerics to get them either like I said you can steal enough of them to make a fully enhanced one from cleric guards (maybe even Albs as well but I am not sure about that).

Please advise, if you'd be so kind. When does Vivian offer Hacking training? I've completed a quest for her, she only offers buying provisions now, nothing else. Do I need to become a Cleric (don't want to)?

Oh, never mind. I found out she starts teaching after PC speaks to Keno.

In case anyone was wondering, the big dam in Abessa is still physically present in the game. You just need around 30 cleansing potions to get to it :M

Also, if there's one thing about this game that can't be praised enough, it's that NPCs you need to accompany to places usually tend to SPRINT
After you finish the game you get unlimited jetpack, so you can quickly travel to these old Elex areas. The dam and other areas are still there, but empty and plenty of buildings are just textures so you clip through them.

Honestly I don't vet, this game is 666 billion times more heavy than Elex 1 and the graphics aren't much better either.

Sooo, you people knew that pressing the parry button right after the kick does a special attack move? Pressumably with even higher stamina damage. Erm... I didn't. 50 hours in-game, just found out. Damn.

Approximately in the middle of the mountain range between the Castle and the Troll Island lies an entrance to a derelict metro system. There are some pretty strong "Vagrants" inside, 350 EXP each. They attack on sight. Deeper inside what looks like a fairly complex base of theirs the loot happens to show the "Steal.." markers. This indicates these vagrants don't need to be an enemy, or that the area is a part of some quest or something. But how, what, from where? Does anybody know?

you'll move through it as part of the Albs main questline and can optionally clear it out for a reward from the clerics

It has to be the biggest wasted opportunity in this game that there is no ruined Hort to explore in the place where it was crushed by the alium tower.

Also seeing as I had to nab the combatbot plans from there, I decided to check out what's inside the alium tower.

good lord

If this is going to be the endgame content, I know right now that I'm going to hate every minute of it.

Also I finally gave up and lowered the difficulty to Normal. I just can't even with this fucking shit anymore. Actually I'm considering taking it down even further to story mode because the faster this utter fucking cock and ball torture is over, the better.



I also find it very funny that there's a munster here actually called "Genestealer". I don't think PB are quite aware what kind of forces they are messing with.


Edit: Actually yeah fuck this, tourist mode it is.
