What difficulty and class should someone play for a first time play through?

Too many mazes and confusing layout. The obsession with this kind of shit in the 90s suck.

>> No.10759413

If you're worried about difficulty, play Paladin on default difficulty. Also, use this restoration patch instead of a source port:
https://www.moddb.com/downloads/vanilla-restoration-patch-for-hexen-iiworld-software-and-gl
The source ports all have various rendering issues, they aren't as well-polished as with more popular games like Quake etc

I just started and playing on paladin on default seems really easy. I'm in the king's court right now. Does it get harder on this difficulty?

Would not recommend assassin. First episode was easy enough but the second episode just kicked my shit in.

So there is a difficulty spike in episode 2 and onwards?

What rendering issues? I don't really remember having any trouble with hammer of thyrion.

I don't remember much about episodes 3 or 4, but the enemies in episode 2 are pretty tough to hit and the assassin's class abilities are kind of useless.

Water effects, I believe light shafts as well, and some weird stuff going on with the HUD

Rather than wait 6 hours for someone to tell you the correct way to play a computer game for kids you could have figured it out on your own already, retard

The Jedi games made by raven suffer from the same shit and everyone pretends to like them because they never finished them.

What is the problem exactly? Just play paladin like the second reply told you to. Everyone likes the paladin.

I only played on max difficulty. Some people might find enemies too spongey, but I can't compare to lower difficulties. Didn't really find it too difficult over all. Crusader is the easiest class with the smoothest progression. Paladin is also pretty straightforward and fun.

>>10759762
He probably just can't aim the grenades well, I found assassin very smooth for most of the game but had low damage than the other classes against bosses.
There is a certain enemy type in episode 2 that gets annoying because it starts doing flips all over the area while also having the ability to reflect projectiles, but they're fine once you work out their animation tells.
