The RPG elements of SpellForce are pretty basic. There is a lot of dialogue in the game - some good, some bad - but conversations are not very interactive. They tend towards you investigating all available conversation options before the dialogue is finished, rather than choosing from a set of differing responses. In towns you'll usually find people offering side quests or information on your main quest, and these people are helpfully indicated by big icons over their heads. Quests are all entered into your quest book, which is well laid out and easy to use, telling you exactly who what to do and where to go.
