[QUOTE="DEFCON 1, post: 2130709, member: 7006"] Ah, Tonguez... I understand. Hmm... well, how about this idea. Why don't we split up your idea for what you wanted Camoflauge to do and put parts of it into Looks Like A Local and Survival? And we'll change the name of LLAL into "Unobtrusive". What this is is the ability to meld in the background of populate areas and to not draw attention to yourself. You don't have the ability of "stealth" per se (where you can move quickly and silently across all manner of ground cover and in all types of shadow), nor do you have the ability to impersonate people should you be confronted (which Carl has with his Disguise specialty)... but like Indiana Jones did in Raiders in the sub, you can knock a guy out, put on his uniform, and walk through an area without immediately being hassled. For Survival, we can assume that part of the process of the speciality is also being unobtrusive in the wild as well. Here, however, you WILL have more stealth capabilities (being able to hide and move with little sound, plus avoid leaving tracks) because you are more in tune with the outdoors. Without a major change to your history and how you were trained... I'm trying to avoid Marcus getting all "ninja" on us... moving from shadow to shadow in all manner of area completely unseen... because that takes mucho training... especially when it applies to all kinds of enviroments (snow, forest, city, interiors, desert etc.) However, if you are familiar with videogames at all... I'm thinking that while in urban areas, Marcus is like "Hitman" rather than "Thief". Hope this makes sense and let me know if you're cool with that. [/QUOTE]
