Subject: The engine....among other things (my ideas and questions)

Now, what shall the engine be? We got alot of choices out there. Quake, modfied doom engines, possibly using Duke3d... I know that quake has a free release on its source code, as does doom, both support 3d models and would be prefered. Of course we could always make are own..but that would be rather time consuming. I personally think quake would be the best choice, already being rather flexible and with an open source release.

Now about character models/sprites. Now customizable models or sprites would be great for making characters, changing color, traits and build. It would be great if we could have a way of layer skins or sprites together, from cloths to details of the body.

Single theme world or multiple worlds? Having seperate worlds to play in would be interesting, altough require more people to write backgrounds. Helps for variety.

Plots/NPCs/Bacgrounds
Definitly need backgrounds and npcs, plots may be needed in the begining of the muck, but as it developes those plots might not be needed as characters develope past and personalities with there own grudges and desires.
