Naah...I don't think so...nothing beats the feeling of a big <bleeping> gun in 
your hands and your enemy's body convulsing with each penetrating 
wound.  

Military themes are the best ones for shoot-em-up games.  When I sit down to a 
game like DOOM, all I wanna do is pull the trigger and kick some ass.  I don't 
wanna worry about which spell hits who hardest.  id's best bet would be to 
build from DOOM and make a game where you could be a SEAL (like Seagal), and 
allow numerous creative ways to kill.

Everybody gets a rush from being able to make a messy kill from long range 
with powerful artillery.  I just don't get the same kinda feeling from a bow 
and arrow or a 'cause wounds' spell.

I dunno...id has the perfect recipe...I don't worry that much about the 
theme/storyline.  I just hope they don't screw with the interface/engine too 
much.
