The game places a special focus on the interactivity of the environment. Dialog changes according to in-game actions and behavior. The player is able to take advantage of missions to allow either side to take over towns. The remaining factions are the Rangers, the Nomads and the people of Nordmar. While there are six factions in the game, only three are joinable: the Rebels, the Orc mercenaries and the Hashishin.

The game is reputation centric allowing the player to side with a faction. The player must complete quests and slay wild animals and monsters to earn experience and improve skills.
