Games just came, which do I play first?

[Child of Flame]

They just came in the mail, all brand new, I got Fallout 1&2 in a double pack, and Torment and Soulbringer in a Double pack, it was nice to get Soulbringer because I thought I just bought Torment, but I've never heard of it. Is it any good? I'm thinking I'll play Torment first, then sink my fangs into the Fallouts.

[Gorth]

No idea what Soulbringer is, but try Fallout 1 before Fallout 2. Apart from that, any order of the games that suits your mood

[Darque]

Silly rabbit, Fallout of course :cool:

[Claws]

You should definitely play Torment last, because once you do, every other RPG will seem like ****.

[NeverwinterKnight]

id go with fallout 1 first, then fallout 2, then torment. never played soulbringer.

[Kelverin]

Fallout 1 than 2. Use the other games as coasters for your drink. (Yes that means Torment)

[mr insomniac]

^ What a surprising reply

 

Never tried Soulbringer, but the others are all good, so... how about order of release? FO1, 2, PS:T.

[Child of Flame]

I couldn't resist, I cracked open Torment first. I like Morte, and there's this chick in the square of Sigil named Annah who got pissed off at me. I managed to talk my way out of the Mortuary, so there was no confrontation there. I'm stuck in this Mausoleum place. <grumbles>

Did you talk to Deionarra before leaving the Mortuary ?

Yes

and I got the power to raise people from the dead.

 

 

I talk to everybody I see in RPGs, it hasn't done me a disservice thus far.

I think you have to just slaughter your way out.

 

It's been too long since I've played it so don't take that with less than a pound of salt

i dont think ive ever heard that expression before. are you sure thats how it goes?

[Gorth]

It's a dead end!

 

Sorry, couldn't resist that one. Is it the quest you get from the dustman in the bar ? In that case, it's a simple dungeon crawl. Kill anything that moves and don't save your buff charms for later, you won't really need them that much later.

I hated Soulbringer. Tried for ages to get into it, but never really made it past the first chapter. Probably just me, but I found it simply awful. One of a mere handful of games I never bothered to finish because I disliked it so much.

 

When you do Fallout, be sure you do them in order. I don't think the original Fallout needs a patch, but don't start Fallout 2 until you've patched it. It really needs that patch, and the patch screws up your save games.

 

Torment is a truly great game... but it's one of those that you will either adore beyond reason or despise more than death. Let us know what you think, and happy gaming!

Actually, I think the versions I've got are already patched, at least Torment came with the latest patch installed, I tried installing it before I realized, and it screwed it up (made it tell me to change discs and get stuck on that screen). I like it a lot so far, it's really fun, more like an interactive book than a game really.

 

As for the Mausoleum, it's the big long hall you enter via the portal in between that one mage's house and the Wall of the Dead thingy (where they bury names). I accidentally found it, so I don't know if a dustman was supposed to tell me to go to it or not...

 

It's a big long hall with lots of skellingtons, and I was doing fine until I came upon a giant skellington (like the ones in the mortuary that you could destroy) only this one was awake! I got slaughtered right quick. I got the quest to go down it via a spirit at the begging of the hall, who told me there was a being holed up at the end of it bothering them. Anyhow, I've got an FAQ now, but any tips anyone can give me for this quest would be helpful.

The reason behind its greatness for some, its biggest flaw for others. It's all a matter of taste... you seem to like that, good for you.

 

And um, you say you have a FAQ, my advice is that you get rid of it ASAP and just play the game... that applies to any game.

Honestly, I read a lot, and for any game I play, if it doesn't have an in depth, or at least meager (in the case of shooters) I'm not likely to replay it.

The only reason I got it was for character creation, and to find out some of the features of the interface that I didn't know about (the jewelcase version of Torment comes with only two discs, and no instruction manual). I just figured out if no one could give me any advice on how to get through the mausoleum, that would probably hold the information I seek.

[Gorth]

Well, as number guy said, get rid of the FAQ. You've got one important stat in the game, thats wisdom. Rest is there for variation and flavour

 

About the mausoleum, I didn't even know you could go there without getting the quest

 

Once you get rid of the big bad skeleton, be prepared to meet his brother (and later yet an evil overlord, and then... j/k). You could eventually save them for later and then come back with an additional NPC to help with the fighting.

 

One final tip, death is not the end

 

With a few exceptions, getting yourself killed in combat has no more consequences than having to walk back to the battlefield.

[Darque]

Wisdom may be primary, but Intelligence and Charisma are also very important.
