    I appreciate the effort, very detailed. I played Quake 1 and 2 as a kid, never really understood the story. You should make a video where its just the story of each game as you progress, without the details of what the players thoughts or smaller details. Not that I don't appreciate the effort into this, but a timeline video might get alot more views. There isnt a timeline about quake yet on YT.

    I have something like that for Quake II and every other game dealing with the Strogg war. Quake II, it’s DLCs, Enemy Territory: Quake Wars and Quake 4. It’s sort of similar in that I talk about the characters thoughts and things. That’s not a bad idea though and it’s something I’ve been thinking about. A more generalized timeline that’s sort of outside the characters heads for the most part

    Very good video. Would like to see a Quake II/IV and Quake III video. About Hallo, I like to imagine there is no Halo 5 and no Halo 6 (although Halo 6's open world was great). I liked the story until the end of 4. I remember being so pumped with the Halo 5 trailer where Master Chief was in the desert with Cortana's broken chip and a huge creature emerges, but then the game came out in it's final form, all that was shown on the trailer was not present in the game, and the story was not good.

    Glad you enjoyed. This was quite the effort to produce. I like Halo 5 and Infinite. Both stories would’ve been much better had they stuck to their guns and not coarse corrected so hard. The Didact should’ve reappeared and Cortana’s created should’ve stuck around. They needed more time to develop both plots. I can’t stand retcons. Running with mistakes and improving upon them with content later is always the way to go. Though I am glad that Infinite brought the Banished into an FPS.

    Everything after Shub is DLC. Scourge of Armagon and Dissolution of Eternity were official level packs for the original PC version of the game. Dimension of the Past was made in 2016 by one of the main devs at MachineGames. The final DLC, Dimension of the Machine, was created very recently and made available along side the 2021 re-release of the game.

    I believe that mysterious voice was suppose to be Legond. From what I've understand, she is in Abyss of Pandemonium. Though, it's not a mission pack as we know, but it was suppose to be. If that were true, it would explained everything about that mysterious voice. Because an unanswered question I (or we) have is, who was that voice? Because Shub Niggurath is dead (although, to be honest, the entity in that pit was only a Dark Young and not her true self), Armagon is dead, the Wraith Overlord is dead. It could be the dragon honestly. We have multiple instances in movies and video games allowed dragons to talk telepathically. So, if it wasn't the Dragon, I think it was suppose to be Legond. Because she was also a general of Quake. But of course, we're focused what's official. I don't know, I just wonder how it would it pan out if Abyss of Pandemonium was actually canon.

    I’d never heard of Abyss of Pandemonium until this comment. It’s not an official release so I would agree with you that it isn’t canon. They could always release it through their add ons system though. Not that that would make it canon because there are plenty of add ons that aren’t. I like this “Dark Young” idea. I’ve also never heard of it until this comment. The idea that Shub might still exist in some capacity is interesting. I assume that the forces of Quake are lead by gods with a little g and that something greater exists beyond them. The rulers of the arena eternal, specifically. Perhaps they’re the ones responsible for the creation of the lightning mechanism used to dispatch Chthon the first time around? That’s the only other really big unanswered question. A question I find more mysterious and intriguing than the identity of the voice. It’s very possible that the voice was the dragon but the little bit of lore from that DLC is very vague. So it could really go either way. I think that might’ve been the original intention but it’s really hard to say with absolute certainty.

    ​@@Woodyisasexybeast The dragon sounds more plausible the more I think about it. Though, I'm just curious, had Abyss of Pandemonium made the cut based on the rumors making it sound official, I wonder how the time timeline would of shifted. You'd have to play the mappack yourself a few times to try to get a sense of the history behind it too if there was any curiosity. Honestly, I consider it the "unofficial" 3rd mission pack based on where it would of sat it's own release, although we already know Dimension of the Past is real official one.

    @georgeoldsterd8994 (reposting my comment so you see my edits) that basically sums up my entire experience with both the Doom and Quake wikis. They’re extremely unreliable and almost never cite actual sources. I’m still trying to track down where it’s stated that the capital ship Bitterman is aboard during Quake II is called the Phobos. That’s what the wiki claims but I’ve seen literally 0 evidence of that elsewhere. I just found the links you’re referring to. Didn’t realize you meant Wikipedia proper. How strange. I think they’re saying that because it’s listed as “episode 5: dimension of the machine”. Suggesting it takes place right after episode 4, the netherworld. Not so sure that means it actually takes place between them though 🤷‍♂️
