Which camp did you join and why?

Hey guys,
which camp did you join and why? I am currently at the stage to join Nementon or the ruin camp.
Like in Gothic, both camps have their pros and cons and now i am overthinking myself which camp i should join.

Definitely the hypocrites over the arseholes. Between the Pit and Boris, I don't know how you can get through Joining the Remnants without wanting to murder every last one of them.

I joined Nementon, because Boris was mean to me.
As far as I can tell there is probably not so much difference. You can fight in the Arena in the ruin camp too, after you joined Nementon and can still visit the camp.
so choose the faction with the armor you like more and when you finished the game, start a new game and join the other faction :)

He's not just mean to you. He's proven that he's willing to screw over anyone who works for him. So why the hell would you choose to work for him? He also indirectly shows that his organization is willing to tolerate that sort of behavior, so screw them.

The Nemeton are harsh on anyone who break their rules, including people who are forced to do it, and they are more insular. But that's pretty much just what it takes to run a functional society so it all gets a pass. Their "bad side" is really how they treat the Divinities, but you don't really find that out until later and I'm pretty sure the Remnants do exactly the same given the chance (when you join and play their questline, which I haven't done).

Yeah Boris is kind of a badass. I would prefer working with Eugen :D i liked the drunk mission though :D

Boris is awful, but nemeton also does awful things.

Like what? Executing a traitor? Capturing and exploiting Divinities (they both do that)? From what I've seen, the absolute worst thing Nemeton does that is unique to them is punish the old boris package runner for his failure against the bandits they refused to help with.

Nemeton. Difficult choice tho.
Remnants = Lawless scammers and murderers where you have to suck up to local mafia in order to survive.
Nemeton = religious p*icks with sect-like laws who relish in punishing and you have to suck up to local guru in order to survive.

Chose Nemeton after all because that silver mining scam Remnants do is just disgusting.

Joined the remnants because of Eugene (drinking with him was pretty fun), but I have to say I regretted it. The priemeval forest story mission, and the way Eugene acted ticked me off endlessly.

Also I feel that the reasoning behind the Remnants loyalty towards Jero, and Jero himself doesn't feel very fleshed-out.

Hoping to do a playthrough with Nemeton once the difficulty patch drops. From what I understand, the priemeval forest mission will have the same ending, but atleast it's consistent with how Nemeton behaves.

Nemeton, i really can't reconcile joining the Remnants when they screw you over so many times.

Yea, Boris was definitely a big reason i was like nah, to the remnants. After that crap he pulled with me, he met the sharp end of my spear a few times.

Not to mention, nemeton is an actual city, and I like the idea of trying to make the land into the promise land they dreamed about instead of just simply running away
