This seems like a really great, well-thought out suggestion. It covers the extent to which factions could interact with the player quite well, and if it were to be implemented I could definitely see it working to a reasonable extent. Some suggestions: In the part talking about loners, there is a spelling error. "horde" should be changed to "hoard. "They like to horde so if you locate their base/stashes you're in for a good time." Also, while the suggestion covers player-faction interactions quite well, it leaves a lot to the imagination regarding how they would interact with each other. Perhaps there would be territorial disputes, trade altercations, and caravans? Just some ideas. Finally, I feel as if there would be more than three factions in the game. Unless I'm misunderstanding the intention of the post, it seems like there would be only Civilian, Survivalist, and Military factions. Factions certainly wouldn't be those three alone; there would be a large smattering of survivor bands, AWOL military patrols, etc. If I am misunderstanding you, please disregard this
