Arcane Dimensions + Quoth + SMC please

[evil_presley]

unite!

[Dutch]

Arcane Dimensions uses a lot of the Quoth monsters I noticed, and a few from the Drake mod. I always thought the Drole was wicked cool.

AD is absolutely stunning - so is Quoth & SMC ofc. i seriously hope to see future iterations/merged versions of them.

i didn't know about Drake mod, will check it out now. anything else i missed that's noteworthy?

[Dutch]

The Drake mod is a lot like Quoth, in the sense that it gave mappers a new entity set. It also allowed several "spin-off" mods, if you will, that took what it started and kept going. Like AD. The Minotaur in AD, although not exactly the same, is from Drake mod (I think they were called Gaurochs originally?). The drole and voreling are from Quoth.

I haven't played a shit-ton of mods (too busy working on my own stuff), but here's a quick list of ones I wouldn't miss:

Soul of Evil
Unforgiven
Altar of Storms

Here's a link to the download page at Quaddicted. Some are quick mods, some are vanilla (traditional) maps. Some are great, others not so...but it's all Quake lol

the minotaur is neither from drake nor AD,
its actually the Yakman enemy from hexen2's expansion-pack


the drole, voreling, nightgaunt & gug of the drake-mod
are indeed taken from quoth though

.

also, drake is genius. imo its one of the best mods for quake of all time.
it adds a ton of new enemies from hexen2 & quoth and adds many new weapons,
and it makes the game feel bit more hexen2-like with all the new enemies, weapons and power-ups

here are examples of maps & map-sets that use the drake-mod:
Soul Of Evil , Soul of Evil: Indian Summer , A Roman Wilderness Of Pain,
Unforgiven , Something Wicked This Way Comes , Nyarlathotep & Arcanum

all of these maps & map-sets are truely genius and they some of the best maps for quake imo
be sure to check all of them out, they're all really good massive maps with many new textures & themes.

.

be sure to check out my two threads if you're gunna play any of the maps i mentioned

[evil_presley]

[evil_presley]

ok i took a brief look into the above maps and now i wanna cry.
i just can't.. i don't even.....

Unforgiven = SWTWC > sliced bread + microwave + tricycle + one of my kidneys + my other kidney

@talisa

Thanks for clearing that up! I never played hexen before so I had no idea...

@evil

I never played hexen before so I had no idea...

You should. The Heretic/Hexen saga is pretty cool.

You should. The Heretic/Hexen saga is pretty cool.

I always thought it looked pretty cool, I'll have to download it sometime. Maybe one of these days when I gotta take a break from Quake (which hasn't happened since about 1999 lol)
