So this morning I woke up wanting to walk around the maps in Hexen, so I was playing it a bit. Now I turned the difficulty down a ton so there would be few monsters, but still, the monsters made walking around a slog, just because they take up so much time to kill. Either you got this pea-shooter that takes a dozen shots to drop just, or you gotta walk walk up close and melee their face in, and they still take a bit of time. And those are the easy guys at the start of the game, not even counting the bastards you fight later on.
And I just thought: you know what would be awesome? If I could play Hexen with the weapons from Doom, and just blast all these guys into tiny bits. Maybe even some of the ridiculous mods with crazy weapons, just for fun.
So I'm here to ask, are there any such mods available for Hexen?
I imagine I might be able to force a Doom weapon mod into Hexen, but results may vary. I'd like something that was designed to work with Hexen.
Because, confession time here, I've never actually beaten Hexen. I've never really gotten that far in the game. And these days, I don't think I can really afford the time to do so. And if I were to play a weapon mod for Hexen, I'd really like one that otherwise retains the rest of the Hexen experience without breaking the game, because honestly I might not know if something broke until I got stuck. Heck, I don't even know if GZDoom would play vanilla Hexen properly. (I've been playing Chocolate Hexen and Crispy Hexen.)
So rather than just trying something and hoping it works without bugs I don't notice, I thought I would ask the community for some suggestions. Can GZDoom run Hexen properly, and what are some good weapon mods I can use to de-combat the combat?
