Put in a new menu on the PDA allowing players to ask from a list of predefined questions, pertaining to survival on planet 4546B.
List might include:
* How do I swim faster?
* How do I dive longer / deeper?
* How do I negate radiation?
* etc etc, basically anything you don't want to hold the player's hand too much for, unless they ask for it (through the PDA!)
Also, an option to turn the helpful hints HUD overlay (e.g., "break rock", "board Cyclops here") on/off would be cool (and may I mention, also an option to toggle the Beacons on/off as mentioned by others before **please!**).
Thoughts?
EDIT: Basically, the idea came from the fact that the PDA does contain quite a bit of useful info, and it would be logical to present it to the user the way an electronic survival guide that had a bit of built-in sensors would be programmed to: very user-friendly and easy to understand (like, I need a knife to survive, maybe the PDA should mention that if I've played for x amount of minutes and don't have one).
Of course, this does all fall under "this is your survival PDA, please familiarize yourself with it". Maybe ask the user at that point if they'd like the more hand-holding approach?
