Heretic II is very underrated imo
No, I love looking at and installing my games and perusing their accompaning content (see my various articles & posts here on the Codex). I just haven't gotten around to opening it yet and a lot of others in my collection. I should setup a Youtube thingy one day and do those "Unboxing" videos that all the kids rave about these days.I have a copy... sealed.
Bargain! Gonna talk to my girlfriend about reallocating the next couple months' rent.
Oh, absolutely worth it! A steal.
I'd NEVER suggest something so untoward of your girlfriend, so perhaps you, yourself, could (during evenings) exhibit and trade your flesh for currency on the streets in order to fund this unquestionably mandatory purchase.
There's no shame in it. Well, actually, there is.
However, when the end reward is a Heretic big box with floppy discs, it will be well worth wearing the scarlet letter in order to become the highest bidder.
Also, it's still my favorite as I played it right after I played DOOM. What a joyous time to be alive!
Is there a specific reason you keep it sealed? Do you plan on selling it in the future or something? I like being able to take out and look at the old manuals (and occasionally much more) that came inside of big boxes.
End of that last sentence was unintentionally pornographic.

Trying to reimagine the protagonists with AI.
Corvus from Heretic:
The original Brom artwork is a million miles better. The AI can't do eyes. I tried all different models and things and it just went wrong. My shitty AI Corvus looks like a gay Italian porn star or something, and I think it's down to the eyes. Terrible.
Parias from Hexen:
I kinda like it. Here's the original sprite I used as input:
Assassin from Hexen 2:
Got rid of the damn crossbow, which caused so many problems. I quite like this one. Here's the original sprite used as reference:
Demoness from Portal of Praevus:
I'm far from an expert with this stuff but no matter what I did, this image could not shake off this weird artstyle. Whatever, her face makes me laugh, so it's a success. Here's the original image used as input:

not bad apart from corvus
There is HexArcana and Walpurgis - they work with doom maps. But its "universal" doom/hexen/heretic kind of thing. So you need to use somethng(ultimate custom doom) to boost enemies HP, otherwise everyone are 1shot.
As far as I know, only Schism change monsters also.

Is there a LORA for Brom yet?

I first played Heretic when I was a kid, like five or six. I remember loving it, for some reason the battle with D'Sparil burned into my memory for decades.
A few years ago I remembered it vaguely and download it. Good stuff, finished it all.
After that I tried Hexen, played with the Fighter. Had a bunch of neat points, I liked the three characters and the RPGesque gameplay, but it felt like the game punished me for using a melee class, and the levels' design was positively labyrintic and annoying. Enemy variety felt lacking to me.
My save is sitting on one of my old laptop HDs, I might salvage it next month when I buy myself two laptop HD cases.
