-All areas in the game belong into one of the three distinct categories of '''zone control''' — fully controlled, partially controlled and uncontrolled zones. The UI shows the zone control indicator in the upper right corner and you can mouse over it to see what sort of action you can get away with and what is too risky in the current area.

-Zone control is all about how the game handles player criminal behavior such as murdering people through various means, and more specifically, how NPCs should react to player placing [[traps]] everywhere and turning their private quarters into mine fields. Zone control prevents exploits such as carpeting an area with traps and killing off high level non-hostile NPCs in the middle of their home base without triggering hostilities and then promptly looting their kickass gear. But on the other hand, the player can use traps as an assassination mechanism in some areas where it's actually appropriate.
+Zone control determines how [[Characters|NPCs]] react to player placing [[traps]] everywhere and turning their private quarters into mine fields. Zone control prevents exploits such as carpeting an area with traps and killing off high level non-hostile NPCs in the middle of their home base without triggering hostilities and then promptly looting their kickass gear. But on the other hand, the player can use traps as an assassination mechanism in some areas where it's actually appropriate. One thing to keep in mind though that regardless of the zone control level, if you try placing traps too close to someone, they will take offense, or at least disarm your traps if they have appropriate skills. [[Noise]] can be used to lure people into traps.
