I am absolutely facinated with this game. Probably the most intriguing aspect of this game is that the only thing known about the game is that almost ANYTHING is possible.
So I decided to crank up my medulla oblongata and think of some ideas for Project Ego. Since this game spans a lifetime, your only limit is your imagination.
WAR
As we all know, war is cool. Well, in video games at least. Plus, it would give an added bit of gameplay. Youy could enlist in an army, or the opposing army, or be a mercenary or just avoid the whole situation and concentrate on revenging your dead dog (screw the family... THEY KILLED SCOOBY!).
If you join up, you could become a lifer and serve your King on missions after the war is over... if you win that is
Or you could serve for just the war and then leave to revenge your dog.
Depending on which army you choose, or if you are a mercenary or just a civilian, the enlisted men will treat you differently. Enlisted men on the nice army would have respect. Enlisted men in the evil army would try to stab you in the back if you have your CO's favor. If you are a mercenary both sides will treat you with doubt and mistrust. If you are a civilian, good army = treats you good, bad army = treats you bad. If they treat you badly, you can then decide whether or not to hack a couple up. What will be the consequences if you do though?
See? Tons of possibilities.
Religion
What if religion played a big role in Ego? It would definitely alter how others would treat you. Look at how we treat each other in real life. It wouldn't be too much of a straight.
Anyway, back to my point... You could join up a mainstream religion like being a Methodist or something, or become a more hardcore baptist, or even a militant fundamentalist like our good friend Mr. Bin laden (KILL HIM). Or even join a weird cult and sacrifice children and goats. Once again, all these choices would change the way that the world reacts to you. Plus, all of these choices would change your quests and extend the gameplay.
Man, the possibilities for this game are almost endless. I think either of these ideas I had could give Ego hundreds of hours of replayability.
So, what ideas do you guys have? I eager to hear them.

Edit 2/6
Gee, I am I the only one with an imagination who cares about this game?
