Which order to play the Doom 3 content?

[The Curator]

Total noob on the Doom series, but playing Doom 3 currently,
but i noticed there is RoE and Lost Missions,
so when i am done with the Main i will play those, but i do not know which order?

Technically, Lost Mission runs concurrent with the main story when the Marines get attacked at EnPro, and Resurrection of Evil takes place several months later. On my first Steam playthrough I played Lost Mission last and still enjoyed the chronology of the game.

Ah, so essentially you should play Lost Missions before RoE?
I am guessing Lost Missions is basically what it is,
Missions in the game that were removed, then re-added?

[JonoAMano]

If you want, but even if you played ROE before Lost Missions you'd still get the overall story. Lost Mission wasn't removed; if I recall correctly -- it's been years since the original game released -- Lost was a DLC addon for Doom3, then ROE was released later. Maybe someone can chime in if I have the release order of ROE and Lost Mission backwards. All missions were later combined on the BFG retail and Steam editions.

really? Never knew that Lost missions was available seperately. I always thought it is some kind of bonus that is only available in the BFG edition.

Which is why I asked others to chime in. It's been so long since I played the retail versions that release order gets a little fuzzy over time. :-)

Release wise, it goes:

Doom 3 - August 3, 2004
Doom 3 - Resurrection of Evil - April 3, 2005
Doom 3 - BFG Edition (includes Doom 3, Resurrection of Evil, and The Lost Mission) - October 16, 2012

In game, the story goes Doom 3 and The Lost Mission at the same time, with maybe The Lost Mission being first, because the Marine in that expansion is the first Marine to be teleported too Hell. JonoAMano mentioned this.

Doom 3: Resurrection of Evil takes place two years after Doom 3 and The Lost Mission. The best order is probably Doom 3, then Resurrection of Evil, and then The Lost Mission.

Any other questions let me know.

GunCowboy, thanks for clearing that up. It's been years, and I didn't confirm with WikiPedia.

No problem.

In chronological order of events: Doom 3 -> Lost Mission -> Resurrection of Evil

Lost Mission starts 6 Hours after the main invasion incident

Resurrection of Evil starts 2 years after the events of Doom 3 and Lost Mission

Once you reach the cutscene in Doom 3 of the Enpro facility attack that is when Lost Mission starts. Videos below for details
