I am doing this blog to talk about doom mods I often play with. I play a lot of doom when I am not playing other games (like my free FPS Game Series, Onslaught), and when I do I always play Doom Modded. I prefer it modded to unmodded and no I am not one of those idiots who obsesses over brutal doom or project brutality.
I like 3 kinds of mods for doom. Randomizer Mods, overpowered weapon mods, and rpg mods.
For RPG Mods, you cannot go wrong with nameless RPG Lite. It is the single best RPG Mod there is for doom, due to the fact that It supports randomizer mods and overpowered weapon mods. I will play it in many different configurations and it's features really shine. Levelups are there, of course, but so are skills, stats, and a fully configurable rpg system. It's really good when you want to set it up to level up you fast so you can get max health so high that surviving a slaughtermap is piss easy.
I play mostly randomly generated maps and 90% of them are Hell Revealed Difficulty. So When it comes to mods I play, I have to have something that works well with them. That's where nameless rpg lite comes in and makes it possible for me to cheeze them. It also has skills, and some of them are very useful like the ability to see what custom enemies are called, which I turn on early in playthroughs.
For overpowered weapon mods, you COULD go with russian overklll, but I found that it sucks with slaughteermaps and slows down. It's best to AVOID that mod. Instead I play with the mods XWeapon or Highway to Hell. I often play either one of these with shades of doom, a massive monster only randomizer mod that works well with them. It has a lot of enemies, and not all of them fit doom well, but there are far worse monster randomizer mods out there than shades of doom.
When It comes to TOTAL PACKAGE randomizer mods that randomize everything in the game I have two equally important choices : scalliano's 667 shuffle and OMGWPNS! I use either one of these by themselves with nameless rpg lite. It provides a very good RPG experience to use them. Unfortunately not all randomizer mods work with nameless rpg lite, as I found out with metadoom's case, which sucks.
(no the mod doesn't suck, just the fact it won't work with nameless rpg lite does)
I also like to play a lot of doom 2016/doom eternal themed mods in doom 2. My choice for this is Embers of armageddon with the doom 2016 monster pack or my doom 2016/doom eternal monster pack, which is unavailable now, due to people linking it to the EOA forums on moddb, possibly causing it to be trolled. I am merely trying to prevent trolling so I cut the link to it then cut the article out of my old blog, maximum carnage, when people could not stop visiting that link. I like embers of armageddon with the EOA-Eternal mod because it lets you play doom 2 like it's doom eternal, WITHOUT all the shitty platforming doom eternal has! It's fun. It's fun, especially with my doom eternal enemy pack, but that is now being kept private to prevent trolling on moddb by people.
Those are the mods I like for Doom. I will post more about doom here, starting tomorrow night, probably only doing one post a day here. Enjoy.
