All Factions

AF (All Factions) in gaming refers to a mode, achievement, or unlockable content that requires interaction with every major faction in a game. This could mean completing quests for all groups, reaching max reputation with each, or accessing faction-exclusive rewards. Common in RPGs (e.g., Fallout, The Elder Scrolls), strategy games (Total War), or MMOs (World of Warcraft), "All Factions" challenges often demand careful diplomacy or multiple playthroughs. Related terms include faction alignment, reputation grind, and neutral playthrough.

Unlike single-faction loyalty, AF runs test a player’s versatility—for example, balancing Imperials and Stormcloaks in Skyrim without permanently alienating either. Confusion might arise with FFA (Free For All, no teams) or cross-faction (coop between rivals). Rewards often include unique gear or endgame perks like shared vendor access.
