Well, we do have two Ice Themed things already (Algor, and Druid's Warg) so that one's unfortunately out on theme. I know you say you'd like more, but two was a strict limit I had from a while back. Cocytus is also Ancient Greek, not too Christian or Crusader related (haha), and our Crusader is more of the Byzantine persuasion in any case.

I believe all the weapons from slot 3 and specially from slot 4 primary attack should always spend mana (both mana on 4th ones case) but being stronger that they are now. Regardless if they are melee ones (with its mutations spending even more mana and being even more powerful or more useful).
I think the 3th weapons as a tactical weapons and the 4th ones as strategic (Doom deliverance) ones. Their primary attack should
focus their limitations on cost instead of nerfing their power.
Unfortunately, I'll have to veto that, I do prefer it the other way round, mana-free if it's melee, and making the fire modes different to one another in speed and power and other stuff so each has merits, and one of my other goals was to ensure that Walp was still reasonable and not Russian Overkill/Trailblazer level. I love those mods, don't get me wrong, but super OP was never in Walps remit. Powerful, sure, absolutely, but this is counterbalanced by the upgraded bestiary and other stuff you can add in. I always wanted a feeling that even though the player feels strong, they were also never totally free of danger either.

Handily enough, you can read all the original books for free online with
Project Aon. Lone Wolf is quite an edgy lad when I look back on him as I am today (lol) but he was effortlessly cool to me as a teenager reading the books.

But you hurt my feelings about Quietus: I wouldn’t want that weapon to change for anything. I think your Quietus is one of the coolest weapons I’ve ever used in a game ever. I’m not kidding. Everything about it is just perfect.
Oh don't get me wrong, even though I love the Sommerswerd, I wouldn't change the current Quietus for anything.

I mean, if I could have everything, some extra frames of animation would be nice. There’s just something I like about its weird, blood-red outline, and the “super-magical” star shapes when it’s firing. But now I’m ranting.
Nah, you're right, there is something about it that is appealing, which is why it's still around. Just a small artsy-fartsy part of me is always ranting "Not like flames! Reeeee!"

Glad you're enjoying it. And when you get tired of the new versions of the Hexen Bosses, you can then run over to Doom and Heretic too.
