0.8.2: Can't join Mage's Guild regardless of reputation

[BansheeXYZ]

Not sure if I'm doing something wrong after updating, but my new character has 34 Restoration, 22 mysticism, and 0 reputation. Guild members tell me I can't join due to a less than stellar reputation. I edited my savefile and gave myself 90 rep to all, still no go.

Thanks for the save.

Your rep with the Mages Guild is -2 in your FactionData.txt. See "rep" field below.

        },

Editing this to 0, your character is able to join normally. Raising your rep just a little should do it.

Ah, interesting. I didn't know it was possible to start out negative with common faction like that. Was it because I used the questions during the class creation process, which I don't normally do? Or maybe because I gave myself -2 to underworld rep in order to +1 merchants and scholars?

I'm not sure to be honest. It's only a minor change, so probably biography questions during character creation propagated that way. Fortunately won't be too hard to overcome in the normal way.
