Duke of Pathoris

Who here remembers the dark servant from HeXen? It was very powerful but very rare and only lasted 30 seconds. How about somehow summoning a Knight Sentinel that fights for you for like 30 seconds before disappearing back to non-existence.

Marines maybe but what about Knight Sentinels?

I'm getting a huge Quake feeling from it. Even the big, shiny high-tech parts feel like Quake to me. I get the feeling it's a whole mix of id over different environments.

Cortana doesn't give you power-ups. She also tells you what to do, VEGA shouldn't.

The Ballista gives me a real Heretic/Hexen feel.

Maybe something like the Dark Servant from HeXen. Quite powerful but short-lasting.

I would like to see a bunch of human marines being flattened almost right away. I doubt it would otherwise work for a Doom game unless it's a spin-off.

The original intention doesn't matter. Games have reached peak grit in Call of Duty, Halo 5 and any other series you could think of. It's time to stop taking that so seriously.

Would you be open to non-classic secret levels? Like one where Slayer ends up in Nazi America and kills some Nazis?

I want lore. I don't want exposition. I want background, not plot. That's what Doom always did so well. Environmental story telling.

For all intents and purposes, he is the original doom guy. He just has a cool new name and better stats. In terms of armour, he is basically doom guy again. Why would anyone care about whether they play two identical men?

I mean, it's a symptom of a game that spent eternity in development hell. We should be surprised it even came out, let alone receive the acclaim it did.

If the game's too easy, complete on Ultra Nightmare.

The Cyberdemon is a very good climax boss. I recommend about 2/3 of the way through the map. And unless you have 2 or more, I advise leaving out the BFG to make it more challenging.

Doom 3 had the worst, then classic doom. 2016 actually did a pretty good job of them.
