Hi, I am playing Quake II right now. I started in "easy" and would
like to change to "medium". Can I do that somehow?

Thx!

You can pull down the console and type skill 2.

The bad news is that it won't go into effect until your next game :-(

I've tried this while playing single player and it doesn't stick.  I think
you'll have to restart from the beginning, and just in case, might as well
put it on hard this time.  ;-)

Yes, I tried now... but actually, I don't intend to play quake anew (I
now heard of Doom3 - perhaps that's gonna be my new game :-)
Which means, that I have to go thru the rest of the game on "easy",
right?

Set it to hard. The practice will help when you get to D3.

I won't ever get to Q3, because I'm gonna buy DOOM3! Or would you
suggest otherwise?

quake3 isn't a single player game like quake2 or doom3.  It is a multiplayer
deathmatch/teamplay game.  skip it ;o)

I agree. The fun is in figuring out how to deal with situations.
Covering and working with your team members is the whole point of
co-op. In Q3 you just run like hell and blast anything that moves.
Nobody is going to cover your ass or let you take a pee break.

Besides, it goes against my grain to kill other humans. It's the
stinking, mud sucking Stogg who deserve our fire. The dirty little
evil off-planet stinking gabble gabble.

Oh. I got carried away. I'm back now. Hope nobody got hurt ;-)


Best,
Tom
