And make them sell specialwepons and stuff like that! And make them a little more dominant. If you can only join one guild, you get a little more lojal to that on, and if it shows you're a member of the warriors/mage/thievers guild, and you get advantages (hey, that mercant gave me a lower price because I'm in the Mage guild <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/delight.gif" alt="" />) and disadvantages (on the other hand, that guy don't barter with sissies... I meen mages...) the choice of guild get's a little more important. Maybe you could get lot's of quests out from the guilds, ant that way get into the main story (the duke needs our best warrior/thief(... <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/suspicion.gif" alt="" />)/mage and since you've proven yourself we shoosed YOU). This sounds a little Lionheart, I know. Maybe you could allso choose NOT to be in a guild... Maybe drop the idea compleatly... That means something...

The guilds sound cool -- I like all the separate guilds: thieves, mages, etc etc.
Though, it'd be cool if there was one guild that is open completely. Maybe called The Ultimate Guild or something. Though, it probably should be the most expensive to learn from a teacher, since it is full of teachers of every school -- probably would be the biggest guild, too.
