History Headscratchers / DoomEternal

** I’d like to add a line of dialogue from Hayden. While in Taras Nabad, he mention something about how Argent D’Nur has fallen, and how Earth will be different, “”this time””.

* What is the connection between Samuel Hayden and [[spoiler:Samur Maykr]]?

* Is Urdak AnotherDimension like Hell or just another planet?

* If the Icon Of Sin is the Betrayer's son, why does he cooperate with the demons if they made him this way? Shouldn't he hate them just as much as the Doomslayer?

** It's heavily implied even in ''2016'' that the Slayer came from an alternate Earth, as the UAC scientists noted how the Slayer's Praetor armor appears to be of Earth origin, but can't trace its source. ''Eternal'' also shows that both the Argent D'Nur empire and Hell spanned across multiple dimensions, so it's not out of the question the Slayer happened to find his way over from an alternate Earth through Hell.

* Is this the same earth the Slayer is from? it is now confirmed that the slayer is the original Doomguy, but in the original games hell had already invaded earth once, so is this an alternate earth that has yet to be subjected to that fate or did everyone just collectively forget that fact?

** On the pragmatic end the people said guard works for are not exactly friends of the slayer, and while its unlikely do to the current demon situation best not to risk being shot in the back

** That's kinda the point. It is a vindictive move on his part toward the arrogant guard. Remember that the majority of the first mission was done by the Slayer solely to scare the piss out of the other Hell Priests. He is a vindictive person.

* Why does the Slayer take the plasma gun off the soldier in the Phobos base? It seemed pragmatic in the trailer, but he already has a plasma gun at that point, so it seems more vindictive in game.

* What’s up with that giant naked Maykr corpse in the pool in the the room just before the boss fight with Khan Maykr?

** Given that VEGA seems to come to the realisation that [[spoiler: ''he'' is The Father]], it points to some sort of connection between VEGA, Samuel Hayden, and [[spoiler: Samur Maykr]].

* What happened to "The Father" of the Maykr homeworld?

** It is stated in the codex that the Hell Priests use a lot of bizarre and strange Hell magics to render many of their warriors immune to conventional weaponry and also to disrupt technology and infrastructure. The enslaved hellbeasts holding up their citadels, for example, are completely immune to outside attack. This means that they would need far fewer warriors than you'd think, especially since so much of the damage Hell is inflicting on earth is caused by demonic terraforming and transformation of the landscape.

** The Nekravol levels state that the corpses of people killed by demons and harvested for Argent Energy will eventually become demons as well. That plus the indications that demons can reproduce fine on their own, and that Hell is a really big place, seems to be it.

** We have seen several demons that have explicitly been killed by the slayer before(the Cyberdemons, Doomhunters, and the Icon of Sin) so it seems they can simply resurrect there dead to form a truly endless legion

** Same place as Chaos in TabletopGame/Warhammer40000. It's also possible that lesser demons have some sort of resurrection abilities, or there are other areas of Hell and Hell Dimensions the hero doesn't visit in the first one. They also rely heavily on Blitzkrieg style tactics...and possibly have a lot of forces 'offscreen'.

** Quoth Dr Egon Spengler: "People die every day."

* Where do the legions of hell get their warriors from?
** Overrunning an 8 billion strong technologically advanced civilization is no mean feat (let alone practically overnight), and it's implied that hell consumes inhabited worlds on a regular basis. They must have a massive pool of fighters to draw from, but Hell itself is a bleak and blasted wasteland with barely any resources and any world they do consume is apparently wrecked to the point of uselessness. If that wern't enough, the forces of hell are [[WeAreStrugglingTogether constantly duking it out with each other]] when no other outlet for aggression presents itself. That said, most people don't play DOOM to ponder the finer points of infernal logistics, but [[CatharsisFactor butchering hellspawn is even more satisfying knowing just how much time and effort went into their creation.]]

* What powers the Chainsaw? You're picking up fuel canisters to use it but not only are you not on a planet that shouldn't have petroleum products, Earth's energy crisis should have meant that anything that uses gasoline can't exist anymore anyway (and if it's Argent-powered, it shouldn't need fuel in the first place given how crazy-good Argent energy is, supposedly).
