Bwahahaha, that guy girlfriend is angry at me now for stealing him for the night. We found an error in Quake 2, his favorite game. Nobody really knows if the hero is Grunt or Bitterman. Everything first hand points to Grunt (default name for the character is Grunt in the options) and the model looks like the Grunt model in Quake 3. However, in the intro scene we see Bitterman pod having difficulties after some "cowboy" bumped him. In the first level if you turn around at game start you see that you just apparently got out of a pod with Bitterman written on it. Problem is, in Quake 3, Bitterman has alienesque hair and looks, nothing like the model in Quake 2. Kane in Quake 4 also looks strangely like Bitterman (modeled upon?)
So we thought that Bitterman might have been took captive by the Stroggs and Stroggified, which would explain the Quake 3 looks and the Quake 4 hero (different name FTW?).
But yeah, very shitty. I think i'm going to call iD software in january and ask for a pro. Alternatively i'm going to harass Paul Jaquay so he tells me about it.
