i wonder if u can change factions on a whim while in the middle of your game? if anyone here who have seen akira kurosawa's movie called yojimbo(bodyguard), the main character often change sides(or so it seems). motives can range from appraissing future prospects, espionage, inciting conflict between factions for personal gains, etc.. .

As far as I know you can not and as far as I gathered you only get to choose this once in Act 4. I even know why, but am not allowed to share it <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/evilgrin1.gif" alt="" />

the closest to combat log that we may have in the game is the display of damage when any hit is connected together with colour to note the kind of damage dealt. this is what i can see in the screenies.

Yes and that information, together with some invisible information in a logfile that you can view afterwards.
