I'd prefer that players have to figure out what to do with the tree rather than having an analyze command that tells you all possible manipulations. What if you have to thump the tree to make a bird egg drop to the ground that's needed for a quest? I'd prefer players figure that out for themselves or find clues rather than just having them analyze a tree and get a message "You can thump it."

Ugh. I think its much more interesting to interact with a mob to find out his motivations or any quest. Wouldn't this be more fun:

>greet jeweler
Jeweler says, "Hello, mate! Hey have you seen a mug around with a picture of a big ole moose on it?"
>say what about the mug?
Jeweler says, "My moose mug? It's my favorite drinking mug! Beer seems to taste better in it. If you've seen it, I'll pay ye for bringing it back to me.
>say so you like beer?
Jeweler says, "Beer! It's my favorite beverage. If you find my moose mug, I'll pay you for bringing it back, but I'll pay you even more if its filled with beer!
