Spoilers ahead, so you might want to skip this. I don't think that I'm
spoiling all that much, really, but I'm commenting on some features of the
game that you might not want to know in advance. So read only if you're
willing to take the chance.

I noticed a funny/interesting thing about the factions as I was playing TDS
yesterday: I was down at the Docks, and got into a bit of a ruffle with the
Pagans near their shrine. At the time the Pagans attitude toward me was
hostile, but I had also been given tasks which, when carried out, would make
the Pagans less hostile toward me. While the Pagans were kicking my
rear-end, I kept shooting elemental arrows at the orbs in their shrine. In
the middle of the butt-kicking they suddenly stopped, appearing confused and
saying something to the effect of "What in the world was I thinking
attacking you? What am I doing?", basically apologizing that they had
attacked me. The factions really seem to work dynamically!

I just thought it was pretty clever!

On the other hand, I get attacked by the pagans in Auldale, even though they
are marked as 100% allies. The ones in the dock behave as expected though.
Maybe the local branch in Auldale hasn't been informed of the alliance 😛
