Has anyone ever made a map (think cartography) of the Quake universe? 

I wish! 

I have a very vague recollection someone did at some point....but can't recall any details. Nice idea though! 

What would that even look like? 

I'm not sure there's even agreement on whether they're dimensions or planets or what.

Fat Controller described it in the readme for something or other once as a "multifaceted hedron" (I think), so I've just sort of gone with that. It's infinite as long as people want to keep writing dark level stories in it.

Every new texture set's a new dimension! 

� one for each dimension:
� Earth (dimension of tech bases)
� Dimension of the Doomed (who can't pay for the full game)
� Realm of Black Magic (Gorgoroth was here)
� The Netherworld
� The Elder World (swing chairs in the lawn 'n stuff)

In the Quake universe, Shub-Niggurath's Pit is probably located at a hidden dimension, or in the Lovecraftian concept of "the void". 

Saying each episode is a different dimension is flawed.

Episode 1 definitely hops around. I'm sure E1M6, E1M8 and whatever the name of the chthon map is, exist in different dimensions to the other E1 maps - are those metal maps in the same dimension as E3 though?

Right now I'm thinking it's probably just some sort of multifaceted hedron, as Lun says, or perhaps a metadimensional geoscape. Maybe even a pan-physical multiverse. 

Well, that makes sense. Every map transition that goes through a portal can signal a transition between different dimensions/worlds.

That leaves the maps connected through arch exits as the only ones that surely belongs to the same place. 

Metal maps Are set in the "bad future" that awaits the universe if Shub-Niggurath's plan is successful. 

Fallout 4 is terrible.

As we all know, sales = quality.

Err how about no.

I don't need 12 million sales to say that. It could have sold 3 copies and I would stand by it. 

More people playing it simultaneously than GTA V.

It's god awful. 

 

Popular doesn't necessarily mean good. :^) 

The cry of the hipster. 

Not really. McDonalds is very popular but it's shit food. 

I also enjoy popular games, when they're actually good. Like The Witcher 3, for instance. 

Religion is also popular. And bad.

Which is why I wouldn't fight popularism as q good metric for quality 

But it makes it hard to argue against 

Also, Warren, please make a FO4 mod that simply adds proper shadows to the pip boy torch / light, just like Gothic 3 could do waaaay back a fucking decade ago. Then it won;t look like shit, then it might be slightly appealing. 

The Transformers films must be amazing, going by Warren's metric. 

You're all WAY too easy.

At any rate, I'm loving Fallout 4. Sorry that you're not. :)
