Bugs

 * Sometimes equipping any faction clothing/armor, no matter how briefly, permanently sets you as a member of that faction in the eyes of all enemies of that faction. This happens even if you put on neutral duds before exiting Pip-Boy and no non-player character ever sees you wearing enemy faction attire. For example, while looting bodies out the wasteland you accidentally put on Powder Ganger armor but immediately take it off. When you return to Primm, all residents will be hostile anyway. If you ever put on Legion gear, the NCR will be hostile forever after, etc.
 * Trading faction armor you are wearing to a companion will result in an interface bug, as you are still in the trading screen when the "no longer wearing faction armor" comment pops up. (Furthermore, if the faction armor cannot be worn by the companion, as is the case for most of them (Veronica can wear power armor), they will drop the armor, anyway.) This dialog can be impossible to select OK on. Pressing start and hitting Continue appears to fix this. (Unconfirmed on other platforms.)
 * If you are accepted, idolized, etc., by a faction and you wear their armor, it is possible that your reputation with that faction will drop to neutral. Even if you take the armor off, you'll still be neutral.It is possible for it to work the opposite way, if you're vilified, hated, etc., the same thing can happen. The only way to boost your reputation with that faction is to do quests for them. When you drop the armor your reputations will go back to normal.
