![]() These women in these pod things arguably aren't that different to what we see regarding the twins in Forever. ![]() I don't remember exactly what that was about but I'm pretty sure you were expected to kill them, and by extension that's what Duke would do. well, she doesn't do anything when you give her money but w/e.Īnd then there were the naked women suspended in alien pod things that would plead with you to kill them if you tried to interact with them. You could give strippers money to flash their boobs at you, and hookers to. Well, he was the same hero archetype but now they had the chance to rip off dialogue from movies like They Live, Army of Darkness and Predator. In Duke 2 they introduced a certain amount of narcissism when Duke is seen to have written a book titled "Why I'm so Great" but beyond that he was still just the same bland hero archetype.Īnd in Duke Nukem 3D. He had the personality of a bicep and the emotional range of a sea sponge - and that's generous given that he had less dialogue than Super Metroid's Samus.

It felt horribly out of character for a dude who had spent multiple games saving all the babes he could lay his big, meaty arms on. Especially their death, and Duke's reaction to it.
