I will leave reading that until I try to play Thief again on Friday. Quarren by the way is a melee enemy like the Dark Trooper phase I AND he can not move. Dun dun duun!

I just realised now, Level 12 actually has two moving bridges. And one of them moves...... IN A CIRCLE!!!!!! I think you're stuffed. You won't ever see Mohc.

The thing about Hexen and Hexen II, it is less an FPS and more like a puzzle solving game that just so happens to have the same gameplay as an FPS. It's not a bad thing as it does make it a thinking game like Thief (albeit for different reasons). The problem comes when you just can't find the next piece of the puzzle and you're backtracking again and again. Hexen II is the worst because it gives you clues as to where find stuff but you have to remember the clues and unlike Thief, you can't take them with you.

Apart from the puzzels, the great thing that keeps Hexen I and II interesting is different characters. The Warrior (Strength/Speed), the Mage (Magic) and the Paladin (a bit of everything) and the Archer (HexenIIonly). My favourite for both games is the Warrior because it's the most different one where you actully get a decent melee weapon.
