What REALLY made Torment so great...?

The story of course! I've never participated in such an elaborate piece of art: everything is so detailed and complex, there's no holes in the plot and I just can't overpraise the dialogues! You can talk to all kinds of critters with all kinds of personalities, which is addictively amusing. And Morte...

The other great thing is the liberty of action. In which other game can you pluck your eyes out and replace them? Or get eaten to get some information?

And all this comes to pass in the most crowded and interesting place, Sigil. (I'm so happy!)

 

Heres what I have to say about the game:
Planescape: Torment was, amzing... the creators started the game interesting and fun and as it progressed there seamed to be a connection between me and the game. I gave orders Via the mouse/keyboard yet at the same time I felt that I was responding to the same commands I gave. I refused to let a member die. Sometimes it was weird, I felt what they felt I chose decisions in the game as if it were my own life. I felt a connection between me and TNO. I was... happy to have gotten my mortality back, resurrect my friends, and pay for the wrong doing that I don't remember.
Each part of the game seamed to be a game in it own. I searched for a man named Pharod who's name was scared into my back and read to me by a floating skull... Yet I had no other choice... I had no other life and I stuck through the good and the bad to earn my mortality back.
And my answer to Rivel's question:Emotion

 

Spoiler Alert: Actually, some parts of the storyline from PS:T has been used in SW:KOTOR!

Here you also don't know about your past, but eventually it turns out that you are the archnemesis of the republic. Wether this turns you back to the dark side or not is then the question.

IMHO that is the game closest to lifting the PS:T heritage!

 

Ya and that has what to do with PS:T???

That's so off topic im gonna do this:

 

@The Transendent One, It is has plenty to do with PS:T, same idea of not knowing about one's past. It's not too far off topic either, PS:T = so great that other games plagiarise (loosely anyway) from it.

 

You haven't been gaming long if you think the idea of the player's character not knowing about their past is unique to Torment in the slightest. It's actually a cliché.

 

But part of what made the use of that cliche great was that they actually dealt with the problems it brought up, rather than just using it as an excuse for generic gameplay.

So much of the game is about your own actions, the choices that create The Nameless One. Who is he really? he's the person you make of him.

 

I really wanted to hate this game. I mean I REALLY TRUELY wanted to DESPISE this game. The graphics were poor, it wasn't balanced in any way, and combat really didn't exist. As for the story; it was rather short and the climax left me with more questions than answers. Oh, and setting it in Planescape made the game feel very sci-fi-ish, nothing like the traditional fantasy I love so much. And on top of all that it used a radial menu (argggghhhh!).
And yet I loved the game. For all its holes it was simply brilliant. The voice acting and character development were top-notch for an RPG. Role playing was of prime importance as your actions influenced your alignment. And the story was so original, so rich in its philosophy, and so full of tragedy it was unarguably brilliant. It's a shame we'll never see a sequal.
