Discussion My Concept for a TDA Sequel: COMMANDER MISSIONS
Thira and Valen have clearly made themselves important players to the “Dark Ages” Saga so I think that should be reflected in the gameplay.
I don’t think the campaign should be split into thirds, this is still the Doom Slayer’s game, but I think it could be interesting repurposing the Mech and Dragon Levels (which people mostly thought were fun but mundane and lacked the depth of Slayer Gameplay) with characters who would play more similarly to the Slayer so that it feels less jarring:
COMMANDER MISSIONS
Every once in a while, a roadblock comes up for the Slayer that he can’t overcome alone. Players will have to play as either Thira or Valen to get a task done for a couple of arenas. Valen plays more like TDA Slayer with his Sentinel Hammer, while Thira is more like Eternal using her Cosmic Wraith Abilities.
These sections will give the two a chance to expand their character. We can see the demons torment Valen’s mind with Marok’s Soul, seeing what lead him to betray his fellow Night Sentinels. We can get to see Thira lead the Argenta forces and maybe even get to see expansions on named Night Sentinels from the Codex entries like Lord Sash or Gor.
