I'm sure some of you would like to see some of these in the game as a way of earning a little extra gold and fame. Or maybe start your own faction if you're a recognized Vampire or Werewolf Slayer or even sabre tooth cats and other large predators. With the ability to choose the basic equipment for your faction members and recruit members with specializations of your choice. For example say you wanted 4 Warriors 2 Mages you could do that or 4 Mages and 3 Rogues and 1 Warrior, kinda like recruiting assassins in brotherhood except you can customize their loadout. All optional of course. Any Comments or Ideas? Or how they could make this happen?

This (starting a faction) sounds more like expansion material to me. But it would definitely be cool. Especially if they were fully autonomous and you could kind of be the 'don' of your group. Say you were a world renowned alchemist, so much so that you banded together a group of others with similar talents and started your own guild. You could micromanage their activities somewhat, but if one of your members was making money selling potions of a lesser quality than you wanted you would have to dismiss him or correct his ways or kill him.

Like I said this sounds like a lot more work than is needed for the base game, and it wouldnt appeal to everyone so it wouldnt be worth shipping on disc.

About the mini game activities, they would be a welcome addition to me. From things like smelting metals and forging weapons a la Fable, to hunting quests and challenges like Red Dead.

I would like to see an archery competition, maybe you could let loose hundreds of Adoring Fans and whoever shoots the most wins 100 gold.

I hope the include a fishing competition, Like in the Zelda games. Also, in the trailer it shows an anvil and a man cutting wood which could be hinting that you can do these jobs.

About mini games.

After playing Grand Theft Auto IV, I would never do anything with my "friends" again.

Starting my own faction?

I could not take a sufficiently long break from exploration to keep up with it.
