Hey everyone.  Here's an idea.  What if as a bonus for beating the game at a certain difficulty level, the game unlocks a special level where you play as one of the demons?  For instance you could play as an Arch-Vile, killing humans and resurrecting them as your own minions?  Maybe the higher score or difficulty you beat the game in, the stronger demon you get to play?

[Magekind]

Or just add them as a playable race. Sounds fun, and dunno. With the game's Sword of Fargoal-like simplicity, it just might not end up. Still, I'd like to see it happen.

[Anticheese]

This has been suggested before, But it would be pretty nifty as a reward for beating the game to be able to play as demons and the likes...

Let the fools that stand before me feel my wrath!

Here's a thought:

You start as a demon at the bottom of the base. The base is filled with humans, scientists, marines, etc. It would be like playing the regular game backwards. At the end, you have to fight the character you beat the game with.

Also, the difficulty level determines the demon you start as. You could be a, say, cacodemon on easy, and an former human on nightmare. *evil grin*

Apart from the fact that i think resurrecting this thread was really unnecessary, there is clear evidence here that my anti-Cacodemon propaganda is finally having some effect:

Sir, clearly you agree with me that Cacodemons are the #1 cause for character deaths.

So i am sure you are glad to herald the advent of the Super League Against Cacodemons Killing Souls with me too, in fact I'm making you our P.R. manager! (I'm the president offcourse (no typo intended), since i hate Cacodemons the most)

To all you other DoomRLers out there, don't hesitate, join SLACKS today!

[Malek Deneith]

Eh? Unless you stumble upon a cavernous level full of them, cacos aren't that bad - it's the knights/barons that you should ph3@r.

[Turgor]

Nay, not even the Arachnotrons in Spider's Lair instill as much fear in me as hearing the hissing of a Cacodemon.

[Malek Deneith]

Meh... give ma two cacos instead every h.knight ... I'll take the deal everyday...

PS. Kornel - make a new challange especially for Turgor - Angel of Cacodemons xD

[Turgor]

ok, let's say there's 10 Hell Knights in one room, and 1 Cacodemon in another, in front of which door would you plant some ammo, open it in coward  mode at an angle where you're least likely to see any enemy, and then run out of sightrange?

[Malek Deneith]

The hell knight one... seriosly - two good blasts from dbl.shotgun on low range will down caco 90% of time... he doesn't pickup and use stuff... on other hand I've seen hell knights pickup armor, use medkits or surviwe 3-4 rockets and still go at you (caco will usrvive how much? 2 tops?)

[Turgor]

yes, but the point there was that when they are on top of ammo they just stand around not doing anything at all. Call it abuse of the limited AI, but as long as Kornel doesn't change it and it means i don't die i will use it.

And to make it clearer, they means Hellknights, Cacodemons don't care about such mundane stuff like ammo, they're after your soul buddy!

, Cacodemons don't care about such mundane stuff like ammo

They don't have hand anyway, they could only eat them.

[bfg9001]

Meh, I hate ALL demons equally, lol, not just hell knights or cacos in particular.

[Anticheese]

I'll excuse the thread necro if people get back on topic.

If this were to be implimented, I'd only like to see it as an easter egg.
