I literally just dreamt a feature for the upcoming game

During my previous sleep cycle, I dreamt that I was playing the new Tex game, it was pretty good but sadly it's DRM locked so I can't send any of you a copy. Suffer.

Anyway, as I was playing it, there was this feature in the game that allows you to "profile" a person as you go. Basically, how it works is while you are walking around the game environment amongst the characters, when you look at a character, at certain times parts of the crosshair will light up on certain parts of the character because they are distinctive traits (such as hair colour, facial scar, mutated defect etc...).

You can then go into an alternate game mode (say in another window or inventory type menu) and add the characteristic to a profile that you create for a character, kind of like a mental note for Tex. Then, at a later point of the game where you are gathering clues or interviewing suspects, you can then cross reference any evidence you collect to the profiling tool.
That's a pretty cool idea.

I started a dream thread at the link above and found the gender of the people who replied to it interesting. My last dream was the game being in space.
Thanks for that, i'll repost there.
