Play as Hell's Champion!

(1/3) > >>

RepoRipper:
this kin of thing was mentioned before, but for playing as a demon of some sort, one of the normal monsters. NO. this is my idea, i hadnt seen that old thread when i thought of it.
in Hell's Arena, if you beat all 3 waves, it mentions that it is a pity that you came to destroy them, for you would have made a great warrior..... guess my idea! at that point, when you prove worthy by completely defeating the Arena, you get a choice: continue on to your doom at the hands of evil, or join Hell's forces, as their greatest Champion! if you choose to join hells forces, "you are pulled willingly into hells darkest depths, as your evil soul is caressed by the eternal night's abyss". when you come back, you find yourself only partly human, a twisted angel of despair, the greatest ever Hell's Champion! you can still use weapons like before, but in addition to being stronger, smarter, tougher, and faster, you can also throw fireballs! and what is left to corrupt at the base? nothing. it's time to invade Earth! new non-demonic enemies, new levels, new tactics! and this fits the Doom storyline. you are the guy who went through first (the hero of doom doesnt know his squad came in 2nd, because their superiors thought it would cause unnecessary panic), and you joined the side of Hell, so while the hero of Doom I is off at the base closing the gateway there, you are invading Earth. the ruins of which the Doom hero confronts in Doom II! perfect!

BDR:
Nice.  Now who's going to make this second game where there once was one?

Santiago Zapata:
It sounds very nice to me as an idea, but I doubt Kornel has time and psy-energy left to implement it for now.

The Buttery Lobster:
I have two qualms with this idea. First is the whole "caressed by night's abyss" line. Oh my god. That's just too goth and emo for me. I laughed for like 2 minutes when I read that. Sorry, but it's true. This is a minor, but hilarious, issue.

Second is the fact that you really don't DO much by the time you beat hell's arena. I like the idea presented here, but this kind of thing should be reserved for when you get all the way to hell, or even RIGHT BEFORE the cyberdemon. That's when you REALLY prove yourself a master of hell's combat. Then you could, I don't know, save your game, and use savescumming to load it into this new game with all the new maps and enemies you recommended. I don't know if that's how roguelike programs work, I just think that would be cool.

Kornel Kisielewicz:
People I do have a life! And a ton of other projects waiting ;]. I don't want to be stuck doing DoomRL for the next 5 years. I must admit tough, that a "evil" ending came up through my mind, but I couldn't solve the issue of what would change after the choice of sides.
