In Response To: Opinion poll: Eternal Ch5 revisions (Forrest of B.org)

: So it's well known to me that pretty much everyone loathes the last chapter
: of Eternal, mostly because of the Headless and Nightmares, both their
: appearance and the infinite respawning. I was playing through bits and
: pieces of it again recently for nostalgia's sake and looking back I'm
: inclined to agree.

: However, when I played through the Ch3 failure dream, which also features
: W'rkncacnter nightmares, but in this case Banshees only, HOLY SHITFUCK I
: jumped out of my chair at the first invisible banshee sneaking up on me,
: even though I put them there myself.

: So -- and I'm not making any promises to actually do anything here, what with
: my limited time to commit and all -- I'm wondering what people's opinions
: would be on a possible revision to the last chapter, if I ever get around
: to finishing 1.1 at least, if not Omega.

: The revision idea is this: eliminate the Headless entirely. Replace them with
: invisible Devlins, one of the other scariest known monsters. Make the
: Nightmares invisible as well, and keep their scary firing sound. Keep the
: invisible Banshees as is. Relight, rezone, and repopulate the Ch5 levels
: so that there are bright open areas which are safe (except for Nightmares
: firing from out of the shadows), connected by dark, scary corridors where
: you never know when an invisible Banshee or Devlin is going to maul the
: fuck out of you with a terrifying growl or howl. Add in more Jjaro
: civillians (silver Bobs), so as you mosey around, you hear random death
: screams in the distance all the time.

: Generally, turn the whole chapter into survival horror nightmare fuel instead
: of a huge epic and annoying battle against unending cartoony monsters.

: Thoughts?

Heh heh... you got scared by those guys too. Here's where it's worse: you can't kill them. My heart was racing the entire time, trying to survive. YOUR CRUEL!!!

As to the revision, I wouldn't mind. I would have to keep the previous version of Eternal, though. I won't have any final thoughts really until I see this in action.

In my opinion, I didn't loathe the final chapter, and I didn't care about the headless and nightmares reappear constantly. I at least at the sabers, which pretty much didn't run out of ammo.
