Each to their own, said the old lady as she kissed her cow. [img]tongue.gif[/img] (Thank you, Rabelais.) I think P:T is far more engrossing than the usual dungeon crawls. It's also one of the two CRPGs I've played over the last sixteen years whose plot I can respect (the other being Betrayal at Krondor). Both offer far more than "go kill the Big Evil Nasty Thing." P:T has fine graphics, interesting NPCs, and a personalized character that lets you play the game as either a slash & hack or a puzzle-based RPG (with some combat, too). The writing in P:T is fantastic, IMO; only BG2 comes anywhere near it. I prefer BG2 because of its sheer size, available party NPCs and interparty conversations, but P:T is right behind it.
