Thinking back to my Anarchy Online days once again, I have the urge to see an RPG that's all about self-twinking.

It's like, there'd be no leveling of any kind, the sole means of "progressing" would be by wearing stat-boosting armor that brings your stats up so that you can cast a spell that would allow you to wear a ring which gives you the tradeskill stats to craft some better armor, which you need to use a different spell and a different ring to put on. This armor allows you to survive against tougher monsters which drop more gear and crafting ingredients.

So, basically, the core of the game would be killing monsters, equipping shit, crafting, and finagling. Mostly finagling. I'm not sure if it would be a fun game at all, but it would definitely be a thing to see.

Morrowind, kinda?

_{Similarly to the earlier Tommy J-Dog, Benjamin Franklin is to be referred to as Big Man Benny. This helps to make history relevant and relatable to today's young people.}
You see, G-man the Dubya and the Founding Gang didn't like Georgie the Third horning in on their cash without letting them have a say, so they decided to tell the Brits what they thought and break off from Georgie's mob. Then the Brits came to take back their turf, but it took so long that G-man the Dubya and the Founding Gang convinced Georgie that he shouldn't mess with America. They wrote up some house rules to keep everyone straight, and here we are today, you feel me bro?

In an attempt to end the rage at each other, I'll put whet I've learned from my time in the world: being different is good! But being too different is bad. So is being too similar, but being too different is worse. Making people different from each other is bad, but making them the same is also bad. It's best to be not too similar and not too different compared to everyone. However, if people sense you trying to be similar, they get mad and make you different. Thus the best option is to just not give a shit.

Huh. PTW; I'll add my thoughts later.
