No, clearly in the future, lighting problems will be the most dangerous element in combat. Just ask Hollywood.

All that futuristic technology and people forget how to make a decent lightbulb.

There were several mods to correct the flashlight/suspense idea - one of which was a batsignal.

Fixing the flashlight problem won't fix the having-to-interact-with-NPCs problem.

I bought Doom 3 expecting it to be more of Doom 2, only with bigger explosions, scarier monsters and cooler guns.

I expected to be deposited into a level where I'd have to start shooting right away.

I don't care that they made the game the way they made it, but they should NOT have called it Doom 3.

As far as the flashlight thing is concerned, I wonder if anybody bothered to playtest the game. That's a design flaw so glaringly obvious...how could somebody at the company NOT see it???

Not worth starting a new thread, but if anyone is interested what the Death Star would look like, hovering above Cyrodiil...

Death Star in Oblivion
