Maybe he did... The fact that he is constanly forced to fight demon hordes alone proves that it doesn't work. 0 Share this post Link to post

Some examples of what I mean (and my own wonders) include: What does the health bonus liquid taste like? What does it feel like to take a Soulsphere? What does it feel like inside the UAC facilities (like the temperature)? What does it smell like in the various locations? What is the green and blue armor made of? They almost appear glass like. How do we use the armor bonuses? They look like medieval helmets... What does it feel like using a Berserk pack? 1) Blueberry flavored Red Bull 2) Like an invigorating dive in cold water 3) The UAC facility is kept at a pleasant 20°C. 4) Bases probably have an industrial odor to them, while hell has a miasmal odor. 5) Green and Blue armor are simply cardboard cutouts sprayed painted appropriate colors. 6) You simply wear them like a normal helmet. But due to it's magical properties involving pockets of microdimensions you can easily wear multiple helmets stacking them. 7) Imagine having the worst case of road rage, but multiply it by a million and you'll drop your weapons and use your hands to rip and tear. 0 Share this post Link to post
KVELLER Posted April 22, 2017 Why does the Icon of Sin have so many mechanical stuff on it? Maybe it lost its body and it needs UAC machinery to stay alive? 0 Share this post Link to post

The demons were getting extinct, and they couldn't expose the Icon of Sin's brain without killing it, so as soon as they realized that the idiots at the UAC opened a dimesional gateway, they inmediately invaded to get life-support systems so they could save their species. My imagination is slowly starting to work. 0 Share this post Link to post

You press down on the spongy surface, and it oozes blood instead of shampoo. So Cacodemons are like big bloody sponges. They also fly because magic. 0 Share this post Link to post
Deleted_Account Posted April 23, 2017 Why does the UAC have barrels containing explosive liquids haphazardly scattered around their facility instead of proper storage? Why does the UAC insist on opening portals to hell? You'd think they would have learned their lesson after the first time. Why do the demons even bother invading our plane of existence whenever the UAC opens a portal into their world? They know very well whose coming for them. Why are demons so eager to in-fight one another? They would benefit by putting their differences aside and concentrate their effort on smashing the Doomguy. 0 Share this post Link to post

Demon species hate everything that is different to them, thus they lash out at everything that bothers them when given a reason (pain). 1 Share this post Link to post

drygnfyre Posted April 25, 2017 If the UAC facilities were intended to be real, working buildings, does this mean every UAC employee has a keycard? What purpose would a secret exit serve? In fact, why would there need to exits anyway? Couldn't one just leave the way they came in? It got me thinking about a WAD that could actually attempt to portray the space between each UAC facility. Like, you leave E1M1, you've got to walk around a bit on Phobos, then you enter another building and E1M2 starts. Too bad the engine doesn't work that way. 0 Share this post Link to post

What purpose would a secret exit serve? In fact, why would there need to exits anyway? Couldn't one just leave the way they came in? No, it means some doors are restricted to supervising employees. Those supervisors meet up with their Co-workers and take them to their job such as it is. Also in case of emergencies, the bases are going to be shut down, to make containing hostile forces easier. That's what key cards are there for. Secret exit is there for the inclined and priviliged to work on stuff that is meant to be kept from the eyes of everyboy else (public in particular), thus they have hidden secret exits to get to their place of work. If you leave throught the door you entered, you're not progressing, are you? 8 minutes ago, drygnfyre said: It got me thinking about a WAD that could actually attempt to portray the space between each UAC facility.

You would kinda have these "inbetween maps" scenarios which could add a lot of sense of adventure to a project, and really deliver some nice immersion. Mind you, since doom2 came out, there's no episode specific "overview map" anymore. That being said, I love the idea. 1 Share this post Link to post
idbeholdME Posted April 26, 2017 What makes the Spider Mastermind and Cyberdemon able to resist splash damage? Who is looking at you through the partial invisibility sphere? Why do radiation suits have leaks? Does the UAC not value the health of their employees? How did all the monsters get locked up behind walls and have to wait for Doomguy to come and rescue them, just to kill them shortly after? Why does chaingun sound so much cooler when fired by a Heavy Weapon Dude. Why are zombiemen so inaccurate? Does UAC military personnel receive no training at all? 0 Share this post Link to post

Probably they teleported from Hell into those areas. 1 hour ago, idbeholdME said: Why are zombiemen so inaccurate? Probably because their flesh and muscles are rotten and therefore they can't aim properly. Or maybe their brain is so fucked up that they lost even the common sense to aim.... 1 hour ago, idbeholdME said: Does UAC military personnel receive no training at all? ...or maybe it's just this. 0 Share this post Link to post
