These are all great ideas. Let me just make sure I've got them right, kay?

@Hysenthlay: "stand around NPC's being less lifeless" do you mean when it switches to game mode? Like making their hair less stiff and stuff like that? "romantic plots make more impact on actions", do you mean like FF8 when Squall admitted to falling for Rinoa and you wanted to see him protect Rinoa more after the fact? Something simliar? "Choices in the game that affect how people see you", that one I'm not following very well. Could you elaborate some for me please?

@Kyreean: "More fighting styles", do you mean styles like the different styles of kickboxing/fist fighting or do you mean something less narrow?

I love what you guys have offered. Keep it coming
