Maybe you guys and gals have discussed this matter through long away back in time, but I want to freshen it up a bit. So why isn´t there forum for Planescape:Torment? I think it kind of belongs in here..

Well, the discussion's been had countless times, and it's rather pointless. Torment is:

#1: Old
#2: Unmoddable
#3: Not a multiplayer game

Those three things disqualify it from having a forum here, in my opinion, even if it IS one of the best Infinity Engine RPG's in existence. If not THE best.

You can discuss PST in the Miscellaneous CRPG Forum!

Neb, if #2 and #3 were really criteria, then we wouldn't have the Wizards & Warriors and Wizardry 8 forums. The fact of the matter is that PS:T is an older game, and not played that much anymore.

That said, though, the link that Larry provided is an excellent place to discuss PS:T and other games that don't warrant a full forum.

[/QUOTE]Saz, I meant that because it was old there wasn't much interest in it any more, and it was also unmoddable and not MP so interest couldn't be held in that way, cancelling the oldness. Moddable old games like UT and HalfLife are still being played, for example, but the non-moddable ones aren't being played as much. I didn't at all mean that #2 and #3 were required criteria for everything.

This is the best PS: T forum that I know of. No flames and few trolls, spam at a minimum.

Well thanks for the answers. Miscellaneous RPGS board has practically died. I see not much reason to post there questions about some stopper in Torment if it takes a week to get a couple of answers. I believe that a forum dedicated to Torment might be more popular, because people still play it and want to get answers to their questions which they don´t get from Misc. board, because no one is either not interested about the game (anymore) or they don´t find the board.

I think Planescape is up there with BG series, deafinitely.

By the way, how old are Wizardy´s?

I think that Wizardry 8 was released last year or somewhere at the beginning of this year... Not too sure. Only played the demo of it, myself.
