Really @ata_grant, all the brilliant ideas players come up with and THIS is the one you choose to comment on? It's a decent idea, but it's just not gonna happen, be realistic with your ideas guys, if it doesn't fit in with the current type of programming (2d pics, text based gameplay etc) then it just isn't going to happen, also if it's not going to make any money, it's far less likely to be done. @grant, 3D modelling of armour is not going to take years to be done, if so then high end FPS and RPG games would take decades to create.
yeah idk bout 3-d, might slow the game sumwhat graphics-wise, maybe just a 2-d avatar linked to our profile would b kool.
