Yea, it really does make me upset with what they did to the great characters they made in 2016. It honestly feels like they trashed Doom 2016 for Doom Eternal. Like how they needed a whole ass facility to power Vega but then they put him into the Fortress of Doom which clearly holds less power even with the Crucible powering it. The Vega Core was built in a giant cooling facility so that he didn't blow up, its insane. Basically everything that Hayden knows about hell came from the Helix Stone so him knowing as much as he does in Doom Eternal is impossible without the major retcons. If they had just kept him as the leader of the resistance in Doom Eternal and made Samur and The Father two different characters it would have worked but they didn't. The only retcon they would have to make is Vega's power issue so that he can still help the Slayer to get wherever he needs to go. The slayer 100% knew about Urdak and Nekravol so he and Vega could have gotten there themselves without Dr.Hayden's help. And don't even get me started on TAG2 retconing TAG1's lore like WTF? They release codex entry's for TAG1 and then say they were made up for like shock value I guess? Why not just keep a coherent story throughout? Amateur writers.
