i know there isnt even a disguise skill in bioware (which sucks if you ask me) but i was wondering if there is going to be any way to pretend to be a member of a faction you are not part of (for infiltration purposes

)

While it'd be possible for NPCs (change faction rating temporarily until they make a save of some sort/you drop the disguise), a problem arises from the other PCs that aren't roleplaying. If they know your char name isn't a member of your faction then there isn't much to be done to prevent them from stopping you anyway. I'm pretty sure there isn't a way to change the name displayed over your char. Otherwise it's a solid idea. :)

We've thought about implementing some kind of system where rogues or other sneaky-like characters can "feign" faction alignment, and walk around unharmed in hostile areas. Think it would be a neat addition.

There was a UO-style disguise kit script on the Vault not too long ago. Can't vouch for how well it worked, but it looked interesting.

[edit - Evidently, I bookmarked it. http://nwvault.ign.com/Files/hakpacks/d ... 1420.shtml]

[edit, again - Didn't realize it was a hak until I took another look.]

that would be awesome

there is still the problem of players who arent RPing but one possible solution (and maybe you guys have already thought of this or something better) is if a PC fails their check to see through the disguise then they risk damaging their standing in their own faction if they attack anyways
