This brings us to the most intriguing, and perhaps unique, part of the series, something rarely seen outside MMO games. All the player’s actions have a consequence, and the NPCs remember everything! So remember that shop you rob may comeback to haunt you down the road. There are many factions in the game which the player can curry favor, the two most dominant being the Orc and Human factions. Depending on their stance the player can set to free the human race and destroy the Orc horde, betray humanity and side with the Orcs, or even play something in between and try and cultivate standing on both sides. All are equal options in Gothic III and all have some consequence for the player.
