[Choosing a faction in Defiance Bay]

Would it perhaps work to get you out of the Dozens quest if you kill the questgiver?

 

In response to this question: I killed the Dozens questgiver and a few other NPCs that aggro'd with him. I was still unable to get quests from the other 2 factions.

I've read through many posts, and I am trying to understand if there is any mention of a fix for the issue where you get locked into a faction after accepting the 2nd quest. I would like to know so I can understand if I am stuck with the Dozens, or if I should go do other sidequests until this is corrected and I can do my playthough with the faction I wanted. It was not clear that I would be locked out of knights and the House when accepting the quest, and I didn't determine I was locked until several more hours of gameplay. Thanks!
