Faction question
 

Can an ogre ever get faction high enough to bank or sell in good cities? I'm dubious with wood elves now, but banker kills me, and merchants tell me to f off.

I think Ogre warriors can get into Freeport at some point?

I believe that if you do the newbie Warrior quest in Kelethin (Regren gives it, you have to hand in loot from newb yard trash) enough you'll raise MerchantsOfKelethin faction. The banker is on his own faction though, although there's a site or post out there somewhere that I'd seen recently on EVERY faction and how to raise/lower them.

my ogre sk is cool in high keep. I think most cities its possible if you really work at it. You diety can also matter

Find out when the next paladin is killing Sir Lucan for the soulfire. Hit him once before he dies and max out your NFP faction.
