Ok, this is all garnered from comments that I've heard from Id, none of it
is confirmed, and it could possibly all be false. I am serious about
this though, it's not a SPISPOPD prank. Anyway...

What is Quake?

-A fantasy game using an engine that makes Doom look puny

What new features will it include?

-The ability to hit specific areas on your opponents body [ eg: Arm, leg ]
-The ability to change your enviroment [ Edit while you go?? ]
-Tons of other stuff, no idea what they could be

The plot?

-No idea, although it will most likely be in that tolkien devised world of
fantasy, which John Romero of Id software hinted at before Doom was released..

Notes!

-This could all be false! I take absolutely no reasonability for this!
-Before you shout out Quake suggestion No. 3021, remember this, Id's games
are designed to immerse you in the enviroment, that means NO LOOKING AT
KEYBOARD. Using spells will probably be handled in the same way as
weapons...and there will likely NOT be an inventory.

All right, feel free to verify this or whatnot. Bye.
