  Just thought of this. If you had the opportunity to scan yourself, via a mechanism like Kinect, Move, etc. in order to have a character looking physically (full body scan) just like yourself, would you? I'm sure this will be in future gaming as an option. I definitely would for A character, but not sure how attached I would be. lol You wouldn't be able to do any modifications on you face, weight, height, etc. It would even be cool if you had to "scan" in every month to update your physical change e.g. haircut, weight gain/loss, sunburned, facial hair (if male of course)....

  Chew on this and give thoughts.......

  See, that would be awesome, cause then you could actually grow up in the game. Us old folks would most likely have to deal with weight. That's the only thing that would most likely change. LOL

  I think that would be cool.  I would like to get in better shape before though; I'm about 20 pounds (aka 10 kg, 1 stone) overweight.  I don't think I would play that character on Iromman Master though.

  Aww come on Rune, it would be fun! Look at it like you'll be able to take punishment better. Although your speed would be slow down a bit. lol Would be taking a stamina hit...God, could you imagine us gamers getting in shape a year in advance to major game releases...ugh.

  I'm 18, 6' 8" tall, and I'm quite muscular (10 years of fencing, swimming, tennis, and running will do that to you), so I would gladly scan myself into a game.

  Aye, it would be fun - I'm actually on a weekly work-out routine right now - I would just like a little more time to get in better shape.  Of course with the monthy 'updates' it might get interesting too.

  Exactly! Throw in block from fencing and two handed from tennis and I'm set to go!

  That would be epic, a new reason to grow a beard :p

  I would do it though, and make sure to get a big beard to bring into the game, my enemies wouldn't be able to handle it
