I wonder if RGSS2 would let Jos do it...
BTW. Howitzers on close range? And just when I thought I could have very interesting conversations with M1, artillery on close range.
Well, the whole switching thing could be changed with his(and my) character only being introduced in a beyond the portal world, like I designed it. I would actually be glad to make the new characters, then all of us would get back to the 1974 US, in the beginning of the game. But you have all of your stuff, the money, infinite amount of save cards and us two. But, the new world has many Easter Eggs, which the player(and us two) should discover for bonus points. (And maybe a meeting with Tanja or something, including my idea of visiting a Soviet island. Also, wouldn't it be awesome to have voice acting, and actually get Tanja to record herself?)
I hope these are helpful, because I do not think the current version of Vulcan deserves the version of 1.7(should be like 0.7 or something).
