Three questions:
(I should mention that Hexen II was released after Hexen and before Heretic II)

Nope
Also I've fixed the release date of Heretic. CheapAlert 03:12, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
I've not been at this article for a while, but to my suprise one 'Demon!' changed back Field of Judgement to Arena of Judgement. I've just run Heretic again to verify -- it IS Field of judgement, at least as far as i can see. Anyone a different experience? -- De Zeurkous ([email protected]), Mon Mar 20 06:14:47 UTC 2006
I expanded the enemy list to create seperate descriptions for each enemy. Eventually, this could be broken off into its own article like the Doom and Hexen enemy lists, but for now I think it is short enough to stay here. I'll leave that up to the judgment of others.-- Danarchy 19:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
I also added both an artifacts section and a section for the other items in the game. Perhaps they should be combined, though I think artifacts are unique enough to be on their own.-- Danarchy 20:54, 3 September 2006 (UTC)
About Cheats[edit]
Someone might want to add that if you use Doom cheats, funny things happen in this game. For example, iddqd (GOD mode)instantly kills you with the saying 'Trying to cheat, heh? For that you die!'. Using idkfa or any others that give youweapons in Doom, this game will take all of your weapons away and leave you with just a staff saying 'Cheaters like you don't deserve weapons'. --Kage 21:48, 02 April 2006
E5M8[edit]
Pardon me but map level E5M8 is 'Field of Judgement' not 'Arena of Judgement'Stephen Howe
Symbol[edit]
What is the origin of the pitchfork symbol, what does it mean?
Recent mass deletions[edit]
Vikrant Phadkay recently made some deletions in this article that seem to take out valuable information. Is there a previous concensus somewhere on removing information about games? I'd like to be pointed to it. Until then, though, I'm going to re-instate the information. -Phoenixrod 16:42, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Platforms[edit]
Previously, this game was listed as having been released on Mac and RISC OS. However, I was not able to find any solid evidence of this other than the appearance of unofficial third-party source ports. If someone can provide actual evidence that the game was published for these platforms, please do so. Ham Pastrami (talk) 22:56, 1 June 2008 (UTC)
I can confirm that Heretic was never released on the Mac. It only got onto the Mac in 1999 after the source code was released and a guy called Brad Oliver ported it over. http://heretic.mac.findmysoft.com/Takethepain (talk) 16:26, 21 June 2011 (UTC)
Correction to plot end[edit]
I found a mistake with the description of the ending - as stated in the end of Episode 4 (and in the source code), 'you thought you would return to your own world after d'sparil died, but his final act banished you to his own plane.' This is reflected at the beginning of Heretic II, but I'm not sure the flow of the paragraph I changed is correct. Can someone review it just to be sure? --76.10.151.22 (talk) 23:56, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Source Ports[edit]
Are we allowed to list source ports? If so I can write up a list here for submission. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Andrewwan1980 (talk • contribs) 16:33, 26 September 2008 (UTC)
