Raven can be weird sometimes, like making Soldier of Fortune a pretty good game, but then spewing out a sequel (SoF 2: Double Helix), which is mediocre at best.

I like them as a whole and the reason for that is the Heretic/Hexen series, of course. This is how they earned my respect. It's one of the most awesome things I've ever played.

I know how you feel about Jedi Outcast - one of my frist thoughts as I played was "Kyle Katarn looks like a retired math teacher" but then I got used to his appearance and started to like him. Besides, the game itself is very immersive and the story really motivates you to carry on and see what happens next. The somewhat dark and oppressive atmosphere of some missions pleased me quite a bit too :)

Quake 4 isn't so bad... though it feels a lot more like Doom 3 than Quake 2. This is probably due to the engine - it's very different from the good ol' id Tech 2. It is a sequel that doesn't feel like a sequel.
