One thing I saw in one of the developer diaries for Fable 2 is that the clothing/armor that you wear in the game will not contribute to your defense.

While this may seem troublesome at first, give it a time to soak it. This promotes individualization among players because not everyone is aiming for the same gear. I think this is fantastic. When you look at WoW, you see that Blizzard kind of got itself into a rut because they have to make extravagant armor that is constantly an improvement...

I was reading a EuroGamer article of Diablo 3 and while reading, I started thinking about Shmak's aggro system revisions. Kinda of disjointed topics, but I tend to connect things that aren't there.

I was thinking about how I mentioned in a comment about being able to strike enemies from multiple angles and attacking them at certain parts of their bodies, which, in turn, affects the amount of damage that is dealt.

That lead me to think about how that system could be built...

Well, this monday our JV football team had a game and one of my teammates who went was this kid Ryne Dougherty. He just returned to practice this week after a concussion he got three weeks ago. I was practicing with the varsity but from what I understand, he tackled someone and suffered a brain hemorrhage.

He was taken to the hospital and was operated on to relieve the pressure. But I just caught wind that he was declared dead at 7pm. It's really depressing. I was going to see him today...

I know how some of you are eager to put your ideas in the works. Best to do it sooner, rather than later, lest you lose that lust for creativity. So I'll be starting it within the week.

I will collect the popular ideas from the Think Tank and post them in the SYS thread for all of you to nominate and get the ball rolling.
