Can You Join More Than One Faction?

You can check which factions you’re part of by heading to your character menu and looking under the “Factions” tab. Just be mindful—breaking a faction’s rules can get you temporarily or permanently kicked out. Other than that, have fun diving into every storyline the game has to offer!
