Recently I've started the video game Planescape Torment, it's a long time since i've seen this quality of game.

I'm curently at the point where I've gained access to the Lower Ward.

Any other enthusiasts?

I quite liked it, but there was way too much reading for me.

I was just thinking about this game earlier today, but then why wouldn't I be

It is truly a unique game.. I've never played another game like it.. It's impossible to really die and yet somehow I still really didn't want to die (well, you don't really die..).

It is verbose but I enjoyed that about it. As RPGs go it's not very difficult beyond maybe one or two obscure-ish puzzles, yet it feels difficult in the multitudinous moral issues..

Yeah. It's one of those games every RPG fan should play at least once. The graphics are low-fi by today's standards but it doesn't really matter.. I'd say more about it but I don't want to give anything away..

One thing about the game, it is on the darker side, even compared to your standard 'endless hack n slash D&D RPG'. But there is salvation at the end -- OR IS THERE (NO SPOILERS)

I keep meaning to play it, but I am a horrible procrastinator
