I've played a few levels of Heretic and I forgot just how difficult it is. The monsters are the high point in Heretic because they are so difficult. Even the common Undead Warrior can be a pain, not to mention the Disciples which send an arc of 3 energy balls at you every second or two. I am playing on what Quake would call Nightmare but even on Nightmare, Quake is not this difficult.

I read a tiny bit and remembered about the Lich, a floating skull who has an array of attacks that include the elements, Fire, Wind and Ice. Interestingly from what I remember, the Lich are brilliant at bringing you out of your hiding place. Be it by sending shards of Ice around corners or using a tornado to make you run away and into view, where it will then blast you with a pillar of fire balls. And that is just one of many brilliant enemies.

A wizard based theme in Quake? Maybe not. Let's think about this and get some ideas down.

One thing I never understood, why does Garret not buy soft shoes to adapt to the metal age? Tiles would not be a problem then. I suppose the Trickster would have sold some to him had he not killed himself. Perhaps the diseased person knows.
