story-driven wads

Recommended Posts

Can anybody name a few story-driven wads?
Wads that tell a story as you progress on. I want to see some less-run-around-like-a-fucking-maniac wads, where you walk by checking out the setting to see if you can catch on what the story goes like.
I *know* there has to be a lot of those wads.
Thank you all in advance.

Action Doom 1 & 2, Foreverhood and Hadephobia are the first wads that come in my mind with this criteria...

thanks, dude, I'll check out Foreverhood but it actually ain't much of a "doom experience", and action doom, if I'm not mistaken ain't much of a 'less-run-around-like-a-maniac' like I stated in the OP.
Anything "like doom 3" for instance? come on you guys, you can't be so damn cobble-headed and *only* freaking like things like action doom and running (on foot!) at a 100mph and shooting you-don't-know-what 'cause you can't see a damn thing at that speed! what story are you *enjoying* when you play like that?!?!

And *YES* I did fucking play DooM 1 without 'always run' back in 1994, and walked around the place soaking on the 'story-line' and the visuals what-so-ever and loving it! damn, I said it.

A.L.T. has a thematic story that—while inconsistent at times—at least tries to capture a specific feeling. Visuals are neat too.

You know, I'm starting to feel that (in this forum) if you say you like walk-speed and having a game that stops you and shows you anything on-screen with the intention of building up a story telling, if you like that: YOU'RE GAY.
come on!!









why all the gay hate?!?
:D

Hellbound has some story for each level in the txt explaining your progress and where you are heading.

Where is this defensiveness and aggression coming from? I don't see a single post to provoke the responses you have had so far. Stop that.

To answer your question, RTC-3057, while indefinitely unfinished, has a more involved story, as well as Realm of the Green Soul (along with its unfinished sequel demo) and I believe Daedalus as well.

uppity bullshit and fag-accusing that no-one cares about


What the fuck is your problem

Seconding RTC-3057 btw, that is definitely by far my single favorite "story-driven" mod for Doom ever made.

The jokewad "Doomworld Forums" trilogy is technically story driven(the third having different endings.

A lot of the early wads have a story in the text file that goes along with the map. Probably the longest and most detailed one I've seen is the Wasteland Series by Alberto Barsella: http://ishark.free.fr/homepage/games_doom.html

Otherwise, here's some wads that have some kind of overall story (it's not always clear exactly what's going on though):
Aliens TC
Dark Covenant
Duum II Super (http://www.moddb.com/mods/duum-ii-super)
Duum II Ultra (http://www.moddb.com/mods/duum-ii-ultra)
Icarus: Alien Vanguard
School Doom
System Vices
TOT COMICS DOOM, by Joe Anderson (totcdoom.zip)
Zombies (Dawn of the Dead)

Winter's Fury is definitely one of the top wads that are story driven.
