I just started playing a couple of days ago. I really don't know how to do anything but from what I read on the wiki factions play a big part in the game...
Like I said, I am a noob, and I would like to join a faction that will teach me about how the game works (I've played fallout 1 and 2 religiously, so I have the basics down) and kind of help me out. I would prefer to join a faction that doesn't make me jump through too many hoops to join, and isn't life consuming.. (i've had bad experiences with both in CyberNations, completely made me hate the game) thanks in advance!
