Hexen is a first-person action/fighting game in the same genre as Quake. I don't believe it was a spin-off of Quake, they're made by two different companies. You have four characters you can play as. It takes place in medieval times. I can't remember all the characters, but there is a warrior, a warlock, a prince (I think). They start with a different series of weapons and as you travel from level to level you can collect different objects that increases their power and/or gives then new, stronger weapons. Like Quake, there are secret rooms, power and health objects you can pickup, etc. The first time I played it, it took me about 4 weeks to beat the game, and that was playing pretty regularly. The demon at the end of the game is almost unbeatable.

I really wish I could get you a copy of the game, I know you would enjoy it. I heard the new one is supposed to be even better.
