Thanks for reading this.
I've been playing Heretic literally since 1994. I've had it on multiple systems, downloaded the Steam version and ZDoom several years ago, and I play this game weekly I love it that much. A few days ago I discovered Brutal Doom RPG and have really been loving the new textures, 3D environment and music. Funny how this all happened the week they released Heretic Hexen which I purchased for my PS4, so now I alternate between my PS4 and my PC. However I've discovered some things I would really like to understand.
#1. Secret counts appear to be skewed.
I've noticed that some levels say there are more secrets than one can find. I'm not really comparing the official releases with Brutal Heretic, but on e1m2, it usually has seven secrets but Brutal Heretic is saying there are nine. I've scoured the whole map and killed every enemy but there is one secret I cannot find. If someone could direct me to a list of secrets for Brutal Heretic I would appreciate it, or else I will assume the MOD is broken.
#2. To what end do the level ups help in the game? It appears as though all the five campaigns have been consolidated into one full RPG experience, but how do those level ups help you get stronger? Anyone?
#3. I downloaded v6.1 following the links at the beginning of this forum, but the opening screen says v2. Is there somewhere I can verify I'm actually running v6.1?
#4. I've got the options set to display # of Items on the map screen, but they do not show. So I have to guess that I've got all the items. Trying to complete each level here.
#5. Finally what is a good resource for information on this MOD? I don't necessarily want to swim through an ocean of replies in this forum.
Thanks.
