I noticed that all detectives in the game do not have any clothing below the waist. The body portion of your detective includes both legs and chest as far as I can tell; however, everytime I look at him, I imagine my detective running around in a bomber jacket, but no pants. Hahaha.

Anyway, I was thinking how intresting it would be to insert some pants and shorts in the game. I was thinking of things along the lines of jeans and khakis. Maybe my detective can even run around in lederhosens! :)

What are thoughts on this idea?

So the detective would be wearing a slipper on one foot and a brown two tone on the other? You said "satin slippers..." "and brown two tones." =P

How about letting the detective drive a ....car!!!!

Well, although I am still giddy over getting shoes, I would love a pretty skirt to go with my leather knee high boots:) Though I too would worry about the detective page getting full.

We like your legs in those boots just fine without the skirt in the way Rach ;P


But seriously, adding more gear to wear means the cases need to be more difficult to solve. Just adding a +1 to tough at this point for an experienced detective would push us over the 23 point mark. Game balance would suffer.

Or, it would be a great idea if a new level of difficulty for cases was introduced, even if new skirts aren't. This could create a bigger challenge for the older detectives.

I wouldn't mind a new difficulty level to daily cases but not to favors, as I know Ran wants. *sticks tongue out* They are difficult enough since u cant get help from others. So if having pants would mean more difficult cases, for FAVORS, I will walk around pantless :o) LOL!

I can see how it could be nice for those wearing the various kinds shorter jackets to have a little extra protection against the cold winds of winter, but for those who just like to look pretty in a dress having to have a pair of pants or a skirt underneath might just seem a little overkill

... caught between the devil and deep blue sea... do i put on my sparkly vest and feather boa, replete with satin high heels, or for modesty sake do i slip on a white lab coat... whichever way, i'm still gonna have to shave these legs...

*rushes on to thread in a flurry of excitement*

Heard on the grapevine there was a man in a kilt this way passing. I can never resist a man in a kilt, where is he?

*catches sight of crunchpatty*

*realises instantly why his stats are so poor*

Eeek!
White sports socks!?!
No, no, no! I must insist you change into a proper pair of woolen hose this instant.

*watches sternly as crunchpatty changes*

Wayhay!!!

Crunchpatty, you've made my day. Thank you!
