Personally I'd like to see Torchlight-style slottable enchantments for the mundane but high quality weapons. It's a way to let us build our own magic items.
Every car needs a solar panel embedded in the roof that is used to power a thermostat-controlled cooling system of some sort. It should be ubiquitous, like seat belts and air bags.
Where's rumor control when you need them? This seems a likely fake; an unfounded rumor. Microsoft already cancelled Stormlands, so why would they want to acquire Obsidian?
I really like this deity challenge idea. They add a lot of customization potential to the game experience and thereby improve it's replay value. Thanks!
