* ProtagonistTitle: You play as Corvus, who is just one of the Sidhe Elf "Heretics". Given that this charge of Heresy was given by the Serpent Riders, it's a meaningless canard.

Most of the original team of these games have since left Raven Software following Creator/{{Activision}}'s acquisition of the company in 1997, and they went on to form Human Head Studios. In 2019, the team then joined [=ZeniMax=] Media (who owns id Software and the distribution rights to the original ''Heretic'' and both of the ''Hexen'' games) under the name Roundhouse Studios, thereby becoming a division of Creator/XboxGameStudios when Microsoft acquired [=ZeniMax=] in 2021.

2021... and funnily enough, what was left of Raven would ''also'' become such a division when Microsoft acquired Activision the year after and officially closed the deal the year after ''that.''

* SpiritualSuccessor: The Maulotaur is a huge bovine-like biped similar to the ''[[VideoGame/{{Doom}} Cyberdemon]]'' with a ground-fire spell that hurts like a rocket in the face. They also have extras like a bull-charge to close the distance and an attack that hurls a row of five fireballs.

* ExplodingBarrels: Takes the form of strange plant pods (or, as they're called officialy, gasbags). They can also be pushed around easily. For even more fun, some clusters grow back.

** "No Blood" turns enemy gibs into debris, excises blood particles and decals (with the former being turned into sparks of light and dust), and removes the ability to dismember enemies. Should Corvus be killed in such a way that ''he'' gets gibbed, the game will automatically open the Load Game menu the ''nanosecond'' his health hits 0 to cover it up.
