any factions you avoid killing?

[JolyJew СлаваУкраине]

i'm trying to be a good guy so i only kill memebers of factions that are obviously evil, like Maelstrom, Tyger Claws, Wraiths and Scavengers
gangs that have good sides to them like Valentinos or 6th street, or corpo forces that are just doing everyday guard work i try to avoid killing as much as possible.

anyone else playing like this?
man, this game desprately needs a faction system so there will be some visible feedback/reward for avoiding needless deaths of different gangs

Factions? This game does not have factions. They are all just random generic no name bandits. Who cares about them?

Valentinos, 6th Street, Maelstrom, Militech, Arasaka, Scavs, Animals, Voodoo Boys, Raffen Shivs, Aldecaldos, Mox, Tyger Claws. Need I go on?

Bold to assume NCPD data on suspects is trustworthy.

I'll pretty much only leave the nomads well alone.

Well nomads are not criminal scum, they're just people, unless they shoot me for no reason in which case...

Not true, Just because we like some nomads doesn't mean they're all good.

Nah fam. Live by the gun, die by the gun.

Aye, Raffens would like a word, and maybe a few fingers

I dont avoid killing. Theres virtually no consequence or lore implications in the greater scheme of the game for actively killing gang members or even civilians. If there were maybe some sort of gang strength / competition system I might play like you're suggesting, but much like everything else that was promised its not there. Feel free to dispense lead to anyone and everyone.

Where have you been hidin' out lately, gunny?
You can't flash your chrome `til you spend a lot of money

Everybody's talkin' 'bout the 'good' ones
Funny, but you're still just XP to me

I mean, it's pretty hard to max out various skills (engineering, for instance) for perk points unless you "unnecessarily" kill a lot of people... :P

So basicly you're saying that you are not capable of immersing yourself in a fictional game/world and "roleplay" while playing a roleplaying game? Kinda sad if you're asking me (we know you're not asking...just...don't.).

I for one however, try not to kill anyone I deem not worthy of beeing killed. Corpos, Animals (usually) and Valentinos don't do much "bad stuff" when I'm around on the individual level. Tygers, Maelstrom, Wraiths and some other individuals however tend to go to sleep quite often. A very, very, very deep sleep. Scavs are a whole other thing. Scavs are KOS. No exceptions. I tend to go out of my way just to "take care" of that group of Scavs I just drove by.

The word "factions" implies relationships, you don't. They are all bad guys with different outfits for you to kill.

The NCPD is the only faction I never fight. I have no mercy for anyone else.

The vast majority of the factions i just listed do in fact have interfaction relationships. Take the Valentinos for instance, big ole family. Animals? Pack mentality. VDB's all stick to each other as well, big ole tight knit community.

Mechanically theyre just different shaped punching bags, lorewise theyre each their own distinct group of people with their own goals and motivations.

Its open season for every faction. I do have a love - hate relationship with the Tiger Claws though.

NCPD requires a more clandestine approach in most cases if lacking firepower and armor.

A bit of a thread revival but, What did people do with the Voodoo boys? I personally killed the hell out of them after they used me to fry some netwatch scrubs, and tried to fry me in the process.

VDB each get a lovely gift of a large caliber slug ripping through their chrome domes.

The Mox because they are the only ones that do not try to kill you for walking to close to them.
