I doubt very much that anyone at ID is a devil worshipper. Speaking as someone who holds no particular religious beliefs I can honestly say the 'satanic' look doesn't bother me at all (don't believe in God, don't believe in the Devil) but I do appreciate what they are achieving by using it. The are giving the game a recognisable style - it ties in with work they have done in the past and gives helps the game have 'brand recognition'. Besides, I would have thought that all the 'God-botherers' amongst you would have relished going around and killing heretics etc. Try to remember - the graphics are there to give the game a certain mood and a certain style, NOT to convey some meaningful religious significance. Personally I find ID's graphics to be well crafted although if the only games I owned were ID ones I would get bored of their brown & red palette! Baron Spamedi
