In my mind, I suspect the factions in TESO will be like the Civil War in Skyrim: outside of the war battles, everyone except the leaders of each side will be able to walk among the rest of the populace, albeit begrudgingly and constantly discriminated by rivals and (moreso in TESO) being locked out of conversation with some individuals outside their home turf.
