All things Reputation in Discovery Mod

[tansytansey]

I also read that my character reputation should ressamble my faction reputation. As in, if Im an Outcast, with Outcast Tag, I should also strive to achieve negative reputation with Corsairs or Bounty Hunters as well all the Liberty lawfulls. Thats just an example.

Having to strictly follow that advice would possibly hurt my "character individuality".
Everyone wants to make a character unique in some aspects, like an Outcast that was raised on Malta, loves its people, but doesnt understand, or doesnt accept the war with the Corsairs. Im being very simplistic here, but one could right a book about it and rightfully so, such theme has already sold many many books.

Anyway, for my first question, I would like to make sure about this:

As long as I have my Tag/IFF faction, whatever other reputations I have in-game (the one regarding the game mechanics), the F8 screen (not my character roleplaying reputation with other player's characters) are of the sole discretion of my character individuality, right?

Because, if Im forced by the rules to match my in-game reputations INDENTICALLY to the one of any faction, despite my roleplaying efforts (my character story, background, morals, values, points of view, experiences, everything that makes him alive to me), there is no point playing. Just saying. It would be very dumb and I dont play RPGs with narrow minded individuals. Like a Bretonian who falls in love for a Kusari, the 99% of times it doesnt happen, I let for the NPCs, when I roleplay, I want the exception, I want to be different and special... I even think I read a love story regarding an Outcast and a Corsair before, I think it was someone in the Benitez family two years ago. Very Romeo and Julliet inspired, I must say.

Note that your reputation board is not your stance towards those factions, it is those faction's stance towards you.

Regardless of whether you're an Outcast who doesn't hate Corsairs or not, the Corsairs still hate you, and will still attack you. Hence, they should be red to you to reflect this, whether you attack them or not is still up to you entirely.
