I still think the monsters are brilliant in Heretic. Just having the Iron Liches and that Maulotaur in E4M1 made it so much more compelling because there, in that map, were forces of sheer magnitude, I knew I wasn't going to kill them all, but them being there made is still far more exciting than anything in Quake.

I am proud of how much I was able to rely on my stick during that level and the mash-o-thing.

I do intend of killing as many Maulotaurs and Iron Lich as possible, whilst still conserving ammo. I'm sure there must be many mandatory battles with these behomoths?

Completing E4M1 has got me back into enjoying the game now, something that hasn't been since just before the fight with D'Sparil. It was a good battle, but it kinda on the line between Fun-Hard to Difficult-Hard, which is exactly what I want the main boss to be like. I hate games where the boss fight is only a bit more difficult than normal enemies, like Makron or Armagon. They should be true challengers for the player to overcome and D'Sparil was. Jeez, I do go on a bit :\
