Now them's some good ideas.

I, too, however, have trouble with all this fantasy junk.  I want 
weapons--modern, futuristic, all types!  A couple swords and stuff, I 
don't mind.  Hell, I can even see alternate uses for swords: slicing 
through objects, creating new doors, etc.  But, if anybody out there at 
Id is listening, for Gawd's sake, don't limit Quake to a fantasy/RPG 
world!  Make it expandable.  Perhaps different servers run different 
environments.  It *is* going to be expandable through-and-through, right?
