Definetly BG2.
I started playing P:T for about five days ago, and my conclusion so far, is that BG2 has a better story, better graphics, better items, better quests and sub-quests etc.
But then BG2 IS supreme to all other RPGs, IMO.
But dont get me wrong, P:T is also a good RPG, one of the best, but has a long way before it can match BG2.


see ya!

Torment, because of the reasons already mentioned.

Your opinion will change by the time you complete the game.

Nah, I dont know.
I think BG2 is more like my kind of games, with the more hack 'n slash method, which I prefer, not P:T, where you have to use you head more... [img]tongue.gif[/img]


see ya!

Well... if you are more into hack and slash, then I guess you could maybe like BG2 more, althought it is hard for me to imagine.

to be brief....if BG 2 had the graphics and awesomely in-depth intricate dialogue and interaction possibilities that Planescape does, it be an even more amazing game than it is now. as it stands though, it's BG 2 that has the paramount lasting appeal and it's a BETTER GAME altogether.

I think Luvian means (correct me if I'm wrong) that after a while you'll exhaust the potential for interactions among your party, the apparent non-linearity will exhaust itself, and the steep climb in levels and weapons will mean that BG2 turns into a My Godlets are more powerful than Your Godlets kind of game.

Still, I *do* like BG2 quite a bit; but it pales before the challenges and interest of PS:T.
