fullmetalvaran33 Posted October 20, 2011 Are there any good Hexen WADs out there? I know there's been a sprinkling of Heretic WADs as of late, but nothing really for Hexen (unless I'm mistaken.) Does anyone have recommendations (no deathmatch-only WADs, please, as I don't play those)? And, just out of curiosity, which characer does everyone like to play Hexen with? The Fighter, the Cleric, or the Mage? (I like the Mage myself). Thanks! 0 Share this post Link to post
lupinx-Kassman Posted October 20, 2011 Chuxen. I like all three of the classes for different reasons, but I suppose I tend to choose the fighter. Melee combat is just so fun. 0 Share this post Link to post
printz Posted October 20, 2011 I think there have been a few cool Hexen mods for the ZDoom port, such as Ultimate Doomer's Serpent: Resurrection or CodenniumRed's Necrosis mod. Last but not least, LilWhiteMouse's Wolfen. Don't worry that they're for ZDoom. It is only natural that a Hexen mod be enhanced with ZDoom, considering that much of ZDoom's level design architecture has been inspired/based on Hexen's. 0 Share this post Link to post
DeathevokatioN Posted October 20, 2011 Scourge of Viscerous is the best one so far I believe: http://www.doomworld.com/idgames/index.php?id=16118 A real masterpiece. Also, I'm looking forward to Kristus' upcoming Hexen wad... that should kick ass & be awesome. :) 0 Share this post Link to post
hex11 Posted October 20, 2011 Starship And, I think there's way too much ZDoom stuff. Limit removing (port-agnostic) should be sufficient in many cases. Even vanilla Hexen provides many enhancements over the Doom engine. 0 Share this post Link to post
The Ultimate DooMer Posted October 21, 2011 I think you'll find there's a lot more vanilla wads than there are ZDoom wads...one trip to the archives will tell you that most of them are mid-late 90's (including at least 13 hubs). In fact the only ZDoom wad I know of that's not on Gez's list is Fury. 0 Share this post Link to post
Grazza Posted October 21, 2011 Don't forget... 3fiffy1 3fiffy2b :) (it even has a fixed elevator - how appropriate) But if you're looking for a good Hexen hub, I'd start with Starship, as linked by hex11 above. 0 Share this post Link to post
MegaDoomer Posted October 21, 2011 Not a hub, but Resurrection of Chaos is a MUST HAVE. Scourge of Viscerus and Wolfen are probably the best single hubs. Carnage Galore III has a reasonable amount of playable content but is still a WIP. Also I got absolutely stuck on the (I think) fifth level of the first hub, in an earlier JDoom play. Shame, it was good until there. Serpent Resurrection is by far the biggest Hexen adventure out there, but it's not for everyone. However, if it happens to be your thing you should really like it. 0 Share this post Link to post
fullmetalvaran33 Posted October 22, 2011 Thanks for the suggestions. I've given Scourge of Viscerus a try so far and I really liked it. I'll see which other ones I'll try here soon enough. 0 Share this post Link to post
