I've had an idea for Quake mod brewing in my head for some time now. Basically the concept is to try and think of what direction it could take today. For some reason, "somewhat slower, Hexen-like singleplayer only" jam is what makes the most sense in my head.
The main gimmick of the mod would've been Runes and mana that allow player to use alternate attacks for specific weapons:
>Black Magic: Vampirism via Axe.
>Elder Magic: Ranged attack for Mjolnir.
>Hell Magic: less delay for Shotguns.
>Earth Magic: Lava Nails.
The only "new" weapons would be aforemention hammer and Railgun (like in Violent Rumble and that skin from Champions).
As for the narrative, it would pick things up after all the Mission Packs with me committing the crime of trying to use whatever Champions seemed to setup in my eyes.
In terms of enemies and locals, it would've been nice to have a bit of everything: tech base, medieval, Lovecraft, Norse mythology and callbacks to the franchise. Naturally, the enemies that come to mind include the likes of Axe Ogre (pic), Deep One, lite Armagon, Byakhee and Valkyrie.

Was "old Duke with dementia" idea too grim?
