I like this idea, would make for some awesome scripted sequences where you walk into a Room and see a Human get possessed by a Demonic power in front of your eyes or behind a barrier or unbreakable glass.

 

I like what I'm reading.

I wouldn't be averse to a few horror-type setpieces a la Doom 3. Helps to hammer home that the Doom Slayer isn't some mindless berserker, but is focusing his rage and violence in the direction of a very specific goal. The eradication of such evil.

Human NPCs are kryptonite to the Doom community, it appears.

For a good reason actually.

Brutal Doom pulled off NPC allies.

That's true, although they talk so much they can end up interrupting themselves.

Also Brutal Doom is a mod for an older and simpler game engine running on a powerful modern source port. I'm not sure if the successes in one can be easily translated into successes in the other.

BD NPCs are crap lol that's not a success.
