Why was it so...different from the first game?
I guess trying too hard to fit with the trends at the time instead of continuing to do what they did best.
>>12692331They made it third person because were inspired by Tomb Raider. It's just what they guys at Raven wanted to do, it was the plan from the get go. It was something that really wasn't possible before because of hardware limitations so it excited them.

>>12692410Meh. Really dumb in hindsight. The Hexen/Heretic games worked best in first-person and with shooting/fighting at the core of the game's mechanics. I can see the game working with the third person aspect, but only if they tightened up the combat and not focus so much on exploration.
>>12692331What's the best way to play this now?
>>12695024Like most games from that era, the best way to play Heretic 2 is to watch a longplay on YouTube. The fifth gen as a whole was a really awkward gen with games that aged very poorly (especially since it was sandwiched by the two best generations of videogames).
>>12692331Abode of Golgotha 2 mod was better than the main game and I think it's lost media now. Actually most shit made for Quake 2 era games is lost media nowadays.
