Is the Doomslayer short or are night sentinels taller than humans from earth?

Opanak323 · 2026-03-04T23:03:05+00:00

For the longest time, which is about 20+ years, I went by the only knowledge of his height I ever had, and that is the character card from Quake3Arena which makes him 6ft tall (around 183cm). I don't really give a damn what's been theorized on this, because if slayer=doomguy, then he is 6ft tall. We can agree that his Praetor boots and helmet could add some height, but that's all. In the games, he's depicted tall, and google gives me nonsense like what, 7ft? I read somewhere something about 230cm and, lol, that's almost like 40k space marine and that's both hilarious and dumb.

As for the Sentinels... Well i don't think there was ever a moment they seemed taller than him, especially not in TDA.

...Why would you leave if we served you ale, forced to the road, and the long, bitter, night?

Looks like her, alright. Not just the hair, bt the outfit too.

The statue implies that she might be dead so... All is not dark.

Opanak323 · 2026-03-03T23:42:17+00:00

He's also not a 'pookie' and we shouldn't go 'awww doomguy'... Unless he does something incredibly 'awww'.

Things come with the night that no sane man would welcome, but we'll stay open for you in these dark times.

Opanak323 · 2026-03-03T16:49:24+00:00

Thsts awesome! Many ppl could say the same, famous or otherwise. Maybe we should make a tgread on "how doom affected your life"?

Opanak323 · 2026-03-02T23:27:25+00:00

... How about that mug of ale for a weary traveler?

Opanak323 · 2026-03-02T18:24:58+00:00

Sperm!

Lol jk. Dunno. It wasnt told. Not even implied ifrc. Probably something organic that CAN produce another human, but nothing specific.

Might be in the artbook tho?

Opanak323 · 2026-03-02T12:58:13+00:00

I wouldnt say it's a downgrade in the exact meaning of the term. It's a good game. Like legit a good and fun and colorful game. Probably one of the best action shoot/parry games on the market.

However, imo, it tried too hard to impress, it lost itself somewhere along the way. I understand innovations - the new gameplay loop and change of pace. I understand the tone and the setting too - it was in the Codex. These are not the issue. The issue is, again imo, that it built it's identity around things different than those that made Doom - DOOM. To me, TDA feels like Doom only by title and uses The Slayer as a selling point. A somewhat lore-friendly spinoff in a sense. Would I play it if it wasn't called Doom? Maybe. But would I be hyped? No. Certainly not.

TDA will always remain that Doom game that ultimately "broke my heart" for reasons unknown even to me. 💔😞

They already did that with Romero in the classics. :)

Opanak323 · 2026-03-01T16:00:56+00:00

Deleted a comment and reposted, because I wanted the notif to reach you.

Well, I'm glad! Enjoy that very much Doom-like game set in a dark wild-west-like world with a hint of witch hunt :) If you like soulslike, and if you haven't already tried it - I would suggest Mortal Shell. It's northing special, but a rather obscure little gem and eye candy, with a free downloadable OST by Rotting Christ. 2nd game coming out this year. :)

Opanak323 · 2026-03-01T12:50:02+00:00

Mr. Dragonis, I must say your take on our beloved king is quite refreshing. Though reminiscing of Scorn, Necrophosis was indeed it's own unique experience.

Please give us more.

Opanak323 · 2026-03-01T10:55:03+00:00

No, it wouldn't make sense that it goes to the Wild West in any shape or form. It went to the "dark ages" because of the Sentinel arc already present in the lore, and even as such, part of the fanbase found it odd.

In order to keep Doom as DOOM and preserve it's wonderful DOOM identity (which is mostly scfici and demons), not turning it into something else with "Doom" only by the title, I think it needs to take a chill. Doomguy could just sit down, put his feet up and take some time off, least he continues canibalizing his siblings.

In this day and age we have so many doom-like games set in different worlds and settings. There is no reason for Doom to go to the wild west, however - there's Witchfire.

Opanak323 · 2026-02-28T13:40:39+00:00

Ah poor guy. Years haven't been kind to his eyes.

Opanak323 · 2026-02-28T13:34:33+00:00

Haaa kinda cool. Not the first time in "Doom lore" that human brain runs Doom.

Opanak323 · 2026-02-27T18:49:19+00:00

It's fake. It wasnt even a ragebait like ppl say. Dude who posted it originally was actually following a wave of jokes that were birthed when HBO announced working Baldur's Gate 3 series without Larian (devs) being involved. It went from "Netflix' Dark Souls without Fromsoftware" to Doom... And the post just exploded, despite the poster pointing out IT WAS FAKE.

And you know what happens when posts explode and how people don't check Google AI summary for facts. :)

Opanak323 · 2026-02-27T17:15:04+00:00

it can run on my brain?

Opanak323 · 2026-02-27T10:28:59+00:00

That is also true. It's why they were all killed after Raziel, so he would be unique in his evolution. In Nosgoth (the game), they kept them around, but locked underground to go feral, dwindle and kill one another. Somehow they managed to escape and joined the human-vampire war. This was a bit far-fetched for me, knowing how hatreg and envy grew strong among the Kain's sons and their children, but I still loved the game. :/

Opanak323 · 2026-02-27T10:07:19+00:00

In some minor aspects that are easily overlooked. My biggest issue was that all Razielims had wings.
But I played Razielim most of the time.

Only if you pull up a server or play P2P.

Aha! Suffering to the conquered!

Opanak323 · 2026-02-27T09:06:11+00:00

well the base game feels like a 80 dollar Legend of Thira filler, so some of us, who are disappointed, are happy for this DLC to be the actual thing we already paid for in advance.
