Un-nerfing thermals, with a twist.

[Xeram]

I still think we should have gone the "heat signature" route, where you could see everyone on screen but only as a hazy human shaped blob

I agree with this.

If we wanna get a little more complicated with it, body and air temperature should also affect it. As in, there are four visual levels: Cold, Room Temp, Warm, and Hot. Room temp would be the default color that everything shows up as. The average living person would be a bit above that and stick visually. Vampires who haven't eaten in awhile and corpses would cool down to Room Temp.

Tiles that are a different temperature from Room Temp would be colored the temperature to match it. So if a room was warm enough someone could run in there and have their heat blob blend into the tiles. Or they could cool down and appear room temperature for awhile.

All I needed to image to sell me on this idea was a traitor frantically eating ice cream to cool himself and hide from the detective as he scans the area with his thermals.

Yes please.
