I intend to start hooking up shops (including pawn shops) to faction so that you can get the discount for having good faction. I'll do this over the next few days.

However, this also means you'll get a penalty for bad faction. If the Highport Guard hates you, you won't be able to use the pawn shop by the clinic. Something to think about. If you find you have terrible faction, you have a few days to start working on it.

Also - if you think some factions are too hard to raise (nobody gives you Highport Guard faction) post about it here and I'll look into it. And don't complain about Highport - none of the mobs in the university hurt your faction right now
