I feel the same way. I think it's because the player has to use their starting weapon more and longer alone than they do in Doom or Heretic, more effort was put into making them useful and satisfying.

When you shoot a lost soul and it floats like 100 feet backwards while staring at you.

One folder that houses all my unfinished / to-play wads, with subfolders for completed wads, programs, my own maps, and categories of mods. Also it has the perfect number of items right now.

Speaking of optimizing filesize, many people don't seem to know that Slade has a tool to remove unused patches & flats.

Popular/highly rated WAD's you're not a fan of?

Agreed, I found the level design and textures a lot less interesting than E1 and most of the maps were way too stingy with pickups. -
Huh... Well that's kind of unfortunate, because jumping was "a thing" in the original Hexen. So changing that makes it feel less like Hexen.
-
Are you not supposed to be able to jump? I have jump bound and it works in regular Hexen but pressing the button in this map does nothing.

What leads you to believe that? Many series undergo stylistic changes over time, it doesnt imply that the more technologically-advanced entries are what the devs intended the originals to be like. Id could have made Doom a more dark/slow/atmospheric game with their technology, but they didn't.

It's almost as if the original designs and tone were cartoony...

The first and third gameplay videos were of controller gameplay. The second video was kb&m and looked significantly faster/more agile.

Hellground.

Don't know if it still works as it's a couple years old but there's a mod to solve this

If you could have any classic DOOM monster as a pet, what would it be?

Well Doomguy and the other marines are their enemy so perhaps they just choose not to revive his corpse. -
It's fine. A very old-school styled series of maps. From the description's mention of Blood textures & music, I was expecting some more of that game's atmosphere. But the new textures are used extremely sparingly and it feels very much like a standard Doom wad. The problem I had was that it was just so easy and standard it got boring. The vast majority of action is shooting imps & soldiers in techbases with a super shotgun or chaingun. Higher-tier monsters are underutilized (for example, the Mancubus only appears in the final map). You do get a rocket launcher & plasma gun, but they very rarely feel necessary. It's a good wad for if you want something real easy to play through, guaranteed no stress or frustration.

Looks just like a Donkey Kong level
