Well, you generally get informed where something has changed, so it's not a blind switch hunt.
You sure do. "A wall has shifted in map x!". HF running through whole map_X looking for said wall.

I don't mean combat as a whole, I mean the way it differentiates strengths and weaknesses of each class as well as the way bosses and other tense battles become mechanical puzzles of sort where you try to figure out how to best use your inventory and what tactics to adopt in order to survive and win.I agree with Draq on Hexen 2. I love it, but it is really empty. I would disagree that the combat is all that great, though.
The Heretic/Hexen pack is on sale for $2.50 as a daily on Steam. Given my backlog I'm thinking of just grabbing Hexen 2 for $1.25 as I doubt I'll ever get to them all. However, from reading this thread it seems people might have preferred the first Hexen.
Are you insane? For that price get both if you're getting anything at all.

For me 1 and 2 are roughly comparable, one may be better than the other depending on preferences (1 had more interesting and varied environments, 2 had gloomier atmosphere, 1 had dungeon-crawl-esque aesthetics if you're into such things, 2 had more difficult combat, etc. ).Hexen 2 >>>>> Hexen > Heretic > Heretic 2
Shame.Way too late, you baddies. Sale ended hours ago and I just grabbed 2. Yeah it was cheap to get the others but I doubt I'll ever get around to playing them and I'm sure I'd prefer the Quake engine to the old Doom engine.
Joined:Heretic 2 best in the entire series, anyone who says otherwise is a scrub.
Meh. Doom TC with mace spewing iron bubbles.I prefer Heretic. Hexen felt both open and costrained in ways that created, for me, less enjoyable gameplay. Levels as a whole were open and forced backtracking and roaming around. Specific locations often felt small and constrained.
