This one really wasn't given a fair chance. One user said that it "Seems like the definition of gamecruft to me", apparently ignoring the fact that there was moderately detailed, sourced analysis of the development of the concept, its significance within the game and reviewers' responses to it. Another user claimed that the aspect is "Not a unique or truly notable part of the games"; the cited sources beg to differ, considering it at length. A designer of one of the games called the faction element "Huge part of the game, huge ... we’ve made that a big part of it." Another user clearly hadn't even looked at the article when (s)he declared ""List of characters" articles are usually notable, but not merely races". This was significantly more than a mere list of factions (and was never a list of races...), and, if recreated, I'd be happy to trim it down a little, as I appreciate that the topic does have a tendency to attract crufty detail. The OR-y paragraphs at the start of each game's section could probably go. That does not mean, of course, that the topic as a whole is not worthy of an article.
