Somewhat new to posting so hopefully I did this right, just curious if I can get the rewards for both factions (Raiders/Settlers), I.e I was thinking of siding with raiders for the ammo machine, but unsure if I can still get the gardening plots/Stealth suit from the settlers.
I haven't had a straight answer, though seeing how this game is doing unsure if I should really stick with the main story in fear of something being disabled at the end of the story.
You can definitely get those items which are purchasable from the faction vendors, no matter which faction you side with. So if you want the ammo machine, side with the raiders to get more reputation with them and be able to get the ammo machine faster. That will just take you longer to max out your reputation with the Settlers, but by doing the Ward daily and selling raider photos to Ward via the Davenport quest, you will eventually max out the Settler reputation too. This will allow you to buy the items locked to the Settler vendor at max reputation.
If I get max rep with one faction, is it possible to lose a rank by doing quests for the other faction, like the photo quest?
Good question. Let's say you're max rep with the raiders and you do the Davenport quest to sell the photo to Ward. You will NOT lose reputation. You will also NOT lose reputation if you do the Ward settler quest and kill the thief that happens to be a Raider.
There would be a situation where you could lose Settler reputation by doing the Ward quest and convincing the Raider thief to give you caps in exchange for letting them walk away. In that instance, you would lose Settler rep (I believe even if you have max rep with them too - so just be careful).
Awesome! Thank you for letting me know, didn't wanna lock myself out of something without knowing before hand!
You're welcome! I should also add that, for instance, when you do the Raider questline at the end you can get a legendary gun that you wouldn't be able to get if you chose to side with the Settlers for instance, but this is different to being able to purchase items from the faction vendors, so keep that in mind too
Ahh, so it is possible to lose faction ranks by doing quests for the other side? Interesting, though moot if I already have everything I want from said maxed faction. At least until additional content is added.
In some instances, yes it definitely is possible. Throughout the Wastelanders questline, you could even lose reputation by picking certain dialogue options when you speak to the Settlers/Raiders, so for those looking at this, be careful :D
