Edgewater, your first major settlement, offers several early side quests that introduce you to the game's moral choices and faction dynamics. Quests like 'The Long Tomorrow' and 'Worst Contact' provide opportunities to help the struggling townsfolk or further the Board's agenda. Completing these quests can earn you reputation with the Spacer's Choice corporation or the Deserters, influencing future interactions. They are also excellent for gaining early experience and acquiring basic gear.
