Never played Quake but man that shit has some great aesthetics. I see where Unreal got its inspiration.

Arkane Dimensions is a level pack which was created way after Unreal was released.
And a lot of the level there seem to be inspired more by Unreal than by Quake to be honest.

Really? I assumed that at least the textures and such were the game's stock resources.

Original Quake, OTOH, isn't all that likely to have inspired Unreal given the timeline of development.

Quake came out in '96, Unreal in '98. That's plenty of time for the aesthetics to be influenced by Quake.

Arkane Dimensions used to require a specialized quake 1 build with heavily modified engine to allow for the size of levels they used to run. Last time I run it on Quakegasm (I think). Also due to amount of detail and effects in levels.

Evryone loves protagonist. Must be main character's magic

This is what Parisians will look like in 2084 and it's beautiful.

Spoiler

Nice birdblenders in the city skyline. This is the future you asked for, urbanites.

Bug-mash, larva, rats and soybeans. Just as Greta ordered.

 

[a Goat]

What was the name of that game, again?

 

[Abu Antar]

I gave up halfway through the game because of how boring it was. Presentation was the only good part.

Except Unreal was almost 5 years in development.

The fuck is with these portraits, I can barely tell what they are supposed to represent.

 

[Reinhardt]

Another girl fallen to my charms

And then things got darker...

Japanese really REALLY like to kill little girls aren't they?

At least everyone still loves mc

So basically dragons eat witches, witches eat dragons, everyone kill humans, humans fight back and dissect fallen enemies using corpse parts to create new weapons. Being witch is best -

The portrait in this screenshot is representing the encyclopedia trait, not the NPC being talked to.

TL;DR - a bad puzzle game, get something by Artifex Mundi instead

Spoiler

Collect dozens of hidden objects! But with some vague ones and one or two at a time in the order we want you to! It also teaches you to scroll the screen to find a hidden thing but that's only ever used in like one more puzzle later on.

Click where we show you to progress with the story! Interactivity!

Sliding puzzle! This one was nice, TBH.

Collect a dozen or two of the same thing that's all over the screen!

Whack-a-mole!

Spoiler: it's the one guy in three places!

We need to get moving so let's steal dead people's coins! Ignore all the bills scattered around for the time being!

Geography lesson!

Fucking looking for brown pixels on brown background!

Kill ten cockroaches by clicking on them!

Identify that obvious one girl from a photo you got by removing all the men and grandmas. Most of hidden objects puzzles are about finding things thematically related to the conversation before them but not really (going to the beach with the granny that saved you = completing fishing gear together with two sets of fishing nets), or first eliminating all the things that aren't the topic.

Move the taxi through high traffic! This version lets you move objects in all directions as long as there's room for that.

Fucking checkbooks, how do they look?

No more sliders; you switch places of any two pieces, but at least you need to rotate them too.

The code is "code"

The messiest bank I've ever seen.

I hope you like clicking on numbers you're not looking for one by one with a delay between clicks as you wait for the hint text to fade out and fade in.

Opening the suitcase scattered whopping fifteen bills all over the room.

Let's clean this office while watching president Trump getting assassinated.

I hope you also like looking for untranslated objects.

Easy mode!

Find some inconspicuous Illuminati stickers.

Fucking pixel-sized parts looking like the background.

Fucking walkie-talkies.

Fucking looking for two week's worth of food with ambiguous labels for dinner. There's also a guy you don't notice behind that curtain.

Find all the signs and sirens and lights.

This is not the game for colorblind people.

You get attacked so you decide not to touch any of these weapons you find but instead grab a stun grenade and some pepper spray.

There are two questions next to each other that check if you're still paying attention to what's been said just before (almost failed this one).

More complex puzzle with rotatable elements.

Shoot heads but only of bad people.

More hunting for background-colored objects!

Click on these then click on boats then click on map locations.

Find all the traps and then some fuse box. Hint: lasers are not these red cameras.

Follow-the-line puzzle.

Another fucking puzzle chain with some bad clues and then testing your memory by blurring out the whole screen and asking you to find some more objects.

Panama is not a country and Trump is an Illuminati.

Protagonist's reaction after having to go through this game.

Not depicted: all the story dialogues and narration inbetween (judging by the Wikipedia entry, it's a brief version of volumes 1-8 of the comic)

Should I move on to Heroes 3? Is it really that much better? I would like to play knight and barbarian heroes, they just suck so much in this game. (Might)

Might is still weaker than Magic though.

I prefer Magic too but I've heard that, on the pro scene, everyone prefers Might.

Might is better. Heroes with offense and armorer specialties are sought out for as mains. Many players just pick a town and then roll in the tavern for good mains from other towns like Tazar and Crag Hack.
IIRC, they also have better level up options, like logistics, more often than magic ones. Specific magic heroes can be good if you want to rush some early game mobs that defend crucial spots, but the only serious spells even for that are slow, haste, etc. Off the top of my head, there are some nice magic strategies early on with Luna and Solmyr. An early expert earth magic with a might hero is still better though.

If you like cheesing in singleplayer with town portals and spells that do a lot of damage it can be fine, but even then Crag with mass haste/slow and behemoths can one shot everything and even have utility spells like town portal available. After some levels, extra points in power/knowledge start to have diminishing returns compared to attack/defense. Some classes like battle mages (Dessa) are nice compromises as more mighty magic heroes. if you don't use the HotA mod, Necropolis (Galthran) is busted. The might pirate heroes have great stat progression as well.

Tldr, if you like smashing with might heroes, 3 is a perfect game for that.

That's so lame. Good players can play any faction with any hero, and besides you can't afford many many heroes on Impossible.

What's that?

Have you played The Dig? Just going through it this week and it's great.

I mean, just look at those faces :D
