+1 for fewer black boxes (tooltips are killing me
). Since we don't know any details at all, I'd say the more information the better. If we can't get any more details before PTS rolls around it would be nice to have a wide but shallow sampler available. Then once we have all the details we might be able to help focus on where to build some depth into the system.
I do like mana's modular suggestion. It would be quite the boon to role players and might make it easier for others to begin to engage in some role play activities.
