Well, Jeff, you may have heard this already, but talk is cheap.  Some of the
suggestions are interesting, I'll grant you, but remember what the game is:
        1)      Evil aliens take over
        2)      Duke hates evil aliens
        3)      Duke kills them all
        4)      HE DOESN'T SNEAK AROUND!
Gotta speak frankly to you man - as a fellow programmer.  I know it's 
empting
to shove 50 ideas in front of Todd and Joe and say "OOH, LOOK!"  But, if you
can't back up most of it with code (which you can't), you simply end up 
iving
the development teams a dull headache.
Just for background info, I'm a Project Leader working on a game that you'll
probably see soon in a store or on a BBS.  I've had friends I didn't even 
now
screaming 50 completely whacked out ideas to me without even knowing what our
game engine supports!
The guys at 3D Realms have a nice thing going!  Don't frustrate them any more
than good old coding already does.  (But, hey, that's what coding's all 
about!)
