Ok so how many factions are there? : Fallout Series Discussion

» Tue Mar 15, 2011 2:05 am

Ok I started from FO3 and so far the ones I can think off from the top of my head are:

Brother hood of steel east
Brother hood of steel west
Outcasts
Enclave
NCR
Legion
Followers of the apocalypse

Are people like the gun runners ans van graffs really factions? I mean what classes as a faction? Is it the amount of tech people they have or their structure?

I was thinking about the factions for the whole FO universe.

Well you've got (ones I can remember), i'm not going to bother with NV ones, theres a list right already in the thread and there's to damn many

The Crimson Caravan
The water merchants
The Master's army
Butch's caravan company which I can't remember the name of

The blades
The Regulators (FO1 and FO3 variants)
Gun Runners
Talon Company
Slavers (FO2 and FO3 variants)
Raiders FO3 style (not 100% sure about this one)
Khans
Vipers
Jackals
NCR rangers
Children of the Atom
The hubologists
The families of Reno
Shi
Reily's Rangers

plus the ones you stated

There are more I just can't remember them all, some play not so big roles and others are pretty important

To me a faction would be a group of people who has cohesion and leadership and 'chain of command' hence why i'm iffy about FO3 raiders being a faction

edit: nearly forgot one of the most important faction in FO1, the Children of the cathedral
