Planescape Torment

Is planescape torment worth getting? Is it as good as the IWD or BG games?

DBear · 06-25-2004, 01:35 AM

Nope. It's better.

the mighty stamar · 06-25-2004, 04:06 AM

Ya its my favorite one of those games.
One of my favorite games ever. Its really good.

Best game to ever hit the market, IMHO. Be prepared for a lot of dialogue, though.

Nerull · 06-25-2004, 07:44 AM

Definitely worth the buy, but Dreamer128 is correct about the amount of dialog. You really can't appreciate the depth of the game unless you jack up your mental stats (Intelligence, Wisdom, Charisma) and talk your way through most of the game. The NPCs are extremely well-developed, and the story is very good. It's probably best described as the "anti-hack and slash" CRPG.

[img]graemlins/jawdrop.gif[/img] How can you even ask that? Hasn't the greatness of Planescape Torment spread far and wide yet? Or is it meant to be one of the hidden wonders, much like the lost Isle of Avalon?

LOL

Though I have heard of this game I never that it was supposed to be good. Now that i've about done with all the BG and IWD and NWN games, maybe I should give it a go. [img]graemlins/1ponder.gif[/img]

It is easily the best RPG ever made.

The only game that I could slightly compare to books, even.

They don't make it anymore, making it hard to come by. Still, if you can get your hands on a copy, I wouldn't hesitate. [img]smile.gif[/img]
