In Response To: Should I brave RED or go to DTB? (General-RADIX)

: So I've completed Rubicon('s Salinger Plank), Tempus Irae, and Eternal (in
: that order), and my options so far are thus: pick up where I left off in
: Phoenix or try to make some headway in RED or EVIL.

: RED's story sounds very interesting and messed-up, but it's also massively
: intimidating (not just in the atmosphere, but its alleged cheapness and
: FOUR BACK-TO-BACK VACUUM LEVELS) and I'm a huge wuss. At the same time, I
: feel like I'd be missing quite a bit if I resorted to DTB. Any advice?

We're all very familiar with those mods. And I'm wondering if we're getting diminishing marginal returns by continuing to look at the most popular ones.

I think it would be more interesting if you looked into less well known mods, even unfinished ones.

I think Return to Marathon has some interesting things to talk about even though it was never finished.

And Marathon: Apotheosis is really good. Although unfinished I consider it technically complete (all the maps seemed to be complete, at least). It is a quality scenario and has new enemy sprites, including a new alien race whose visual design I like a lot.
