The standalone runs on LibreQuake so the biggest differences are the Hud, some fonts, sound effects and a couple of models. For example there is a level that uses Cthon, but if you play with LibreQuake it's our Star Spawn instead. I also noticed a few dead bodies used as level dressing that would appear different depending on version.
After discovering the debate I can't even remember how I used to interpret them. At times I think I saw them as having matted fur and at other times I'm sure I used to interpret them as walking maggoty things with necrotic flesh.
They are smooth-skinned, simply as a result of the technical limitations. OFC, I don't drop the possibility that the id guys wanted the creature to be covered in fur, as you say
I thought they were furred? The argument was something among the lines of how fur can help build up static electricity which contributes to their lightning ability
I will never see it as number two, no matter how much evidence you give me. People are unable to change what I have built as a kid with my own imagination.
Also I'm noticing that some people here got a really high sewer count. I'm proud of you.
Am I the only one who noticed a bone near the first shambler on the bottom right being replaced with a jar of strawberry jam near the second shambler lol

Is the standalone any different than modding the steam version? I'm really not tech savvy enough to mod things unfortunately.

Nothing gameplay related will change though.
Appreciate it thanks!!

The fur debate was only a diversion used to deviate from the TRUE debate
No eyes shambler or very tiny eyes shambler?
Maybe normal size zed eyes obscured by fur?
Is that the Quake 1 big monster that attacks with lightning?
I used to call that thing "giant yeti" XD
Arent they Just furry vortigaunts?
... what do you mean bout the fur debate?
There's some discourse over whether Shamblers are smooth skinned or covered in fur. I only found out about it because of Civvie
hrm.... i'm 1/2 in 1/2 in this one...

Hey there, smooth skin

"SHAMBLERS ARE FURRY GODDAMMIT AND I WILL DIE ON THIS HILL!" - civvie 11
Oh, this goes way back, back even before Civvie became a youtuber.

No coat of fur, loose skin.
I am in shambles
Hey at least the Quake Shambler can't teleport like the one in Sandy's book.
DON'T LIE TO ME! THEY'RE BIG FLUFFY YETIS THAT JUST WANT A HUG!

Who shaved him?! 😰
When my bf introduced me to Quake I called it the Yeti with a freezeray. I got berated pretty quickly haha
The current canon according to the Quake 2 id Vault is that some shamblers have fur and some don't. They just split the difference, everyone is right.
I will never see it as number two, no matter how much evidence you give me. People are unable to change what I have built as a kid with my own imagination.

I’ve always assumed they were furry. No idea why, something about the texturing just says that to me.
i think they get their shock attack from the static electricity built up in their fuzzy fur
Personally I always saw (and still see) them as mostly fleshy and greasy. It just makes more sense from a horror standpoint imo.
Why not both?

When i found out the Doom imps are not covered in fur that was a sad day, i Always saw them as Evil Chewbaccas and then turns out they never had fur
Haha wow I never thought of those like that. I always assumed imps had skin like a ballsack.
They- THEY HAVE FUR?!
Perhaps
I think they are icky and fleshy myself but it's a funny debate nevertheless

Was it ever a debate? It has always been an angry yeti in my mind.
fren
Didn't quake 2 confirm both are cannon
Oh god, the fleas are spreading
To me they're like the khezu from mh but bipedal, even have the same powers
Nah, I've seen polar bears after a kill. They're fuzzy, but not friends
Am I the only one who noticed a bone near the first shambler on the bottom right being replaced with a jar of strawberry jam near the second shambler lol
That first shambler demands to be a sticker on the back of my car!
with the words "free hugs" below it
They're hairless. Period.
When I was younger I thought they had fur because I thought they looked like big yeti's. But now I think they just have really pale skin.
Ooh.. that shambler with the sweet tooth on the right! 🤦
30 year old interdimensional horror icons get no respect.
Edit: Love the pic btw.
Makes it Quake's version of the Cacodemon. Me like.
Lets meet halfway. They have a velvet-like skin.
I like to think the fuzz is used to help conduct their lightning attack
i thought this was coaxed into snafu at first
Maybe murderbeast is a distant relative of the shambler.
Could that mean murderbeast has fur too ?
i always thought murder beast had fur, just not very soft fur
wtf is snafu artstyle doing in my boomer shooters subreddit
