Factions

The video dates from before RPG Builder 2.0 however what is shown/explained is still accurate, the only thing to keep in mind here is that the editor UI has changed.

Factions are still located in Combat > Factions.

Faction field for npcs has moved to AI > NPCs > Your NPC > Combat. The "Faction Rewards" are still accurate as well, AI > NPCs > Your NPC > Rewards

Factions are fully dynamic in RPG Builder.

You can have as many as you want, and you can attach them to your player races as well as NPCs.

Your players will be able to complete actions that will then have the possibility to alter the points toward a faction, which then leads to changing stances.

You can create your own stances, as well as custom interaction with other factions for each of your factions.

Stances are also free to customize, it is up to you what the stance should be for each of the other factions who are currently in this stance.
