IMO, I would argue the factions themselves help facilitate this type of play quite easily in Planescape but maybe I'm missing something here...Again this seems more a function of the DM and type of adventures/techniques he uses than anything inherent in the particular setting...  In other words I'm still not seeing what you describe above as being inherently difficult to play out in Planescape...Again this seems more a commentary on GM style/decisions than on any particular setting insofar as this can be done in virtually any setting if the GM wants...That is a published adventure, which seems to be your fallback in these discussions, it does not in any way represent the only type of adventures a GM could facilitate in Planescape any more than KotS is representative of every type of adventure the Nentir Vale could facilitate. This is also one of the reasons I think you should actually read the campaign setting material when discussing what a campaign can or cannot do.</blockquote>
