Joining Outlaws (getting the rep) at the start, doable?

[J-83]

Is this something that is possible? I got to the Beserker city and got the teleporter but immediately wanted to join Outlaws so I made my way to there city without too much trouble. However, it seems kinda impossible right now to join them as there reputation quests seem just out of my league currently.

Has anyone been able to join them early?

Define "early" xD I joined them 13 hours in. The only part that was really tricky i.e. not solvable in any other way than pure violence was the arena with Big Jim. So I had to buy 100 arrows and shoot all them to his head. It worked and I got in.

Been playing this character about maybe 3 to 4 hours? Guess only have a few levels under my belt and not great equipment. Was hoping I could join but seems like it wont be possible for awhile.

You can't join any faction barring the Clerics "early".

Zerkers / Outlaws take about as much time.

This is kind of dissapointing as I made the truck all the way out here, at least got the teleporter unlocked.

Do the basic quests for the zerkers and the clerics, it's free xp why turn it down it's not like your joining them by doing them

also good idea to gather as many of the companions as you can

The people react different on you depending on your faction. I was already cleric when I went to the fort. And I found a cleric in jail there who said, that we are brothers and that I must help him to escape and he gave me the position of his scoutgroup. I'm very sure that wouldn't happen if I didn't join the clerics before. I'm also very sure that the berserkers react different to you when you are already a cleric/outlaw before you enter their town.

they do but I perfer the whole take as much as I can before saying THIS IS MY GROUP.
aka let a Cleric spy get guns, help a Outlaw get his "trading" back and just in general mess around with them till I have to go

I joined them about 5-6 hours in and I made the rank of Enforcer at level 8. (but you can't actually take the rank until level 15)

Get Ray as your companion or this will be impossible.

Sweet, I will do Ray's quest. I didnt actually do it yet (he is sitting at the entrance waiting for me).

Ray has stalled for me on 3/10 contracts.

Grumble.

Around level 10 if you have invested points into combat you should be able to think about joining the Beserkers/Outlaws. At least I was 11 or 12 when I joined the beserkers and before that I had already travelled to the Outlaw city and did some questing there.

You won't be able to do all of his quest. You just need him in your party so that you can handle some combat situations because you are low level.

But there are some 1-1 fights later where you need to know the combo system perfectly or you will lose.

Same - outlaws are the only faction I'd consider joining but if I could I wouldn't join any faction. Not getting any armor without sucking the sausage to factions is the only thing I hate about this game.

Clerics are whackanoodle, zerkers are elix addicts of another sort. Outlaws are just dudes, using whatever they can scrape together and earning. I can at least understand them.

[Boink]

What if I told you you could actually get your starting armor back without joining a faction?
