Planescape:Torment


Recommended Posts

I am afraid that title belongs to Fallout. This game pales in comparison to that greatness.

 

 

 

...yer daft, lass...TNO>you... :-

 

 

...WHO LUVS YA, BABY!!...

A long, long time ago, but I can still remember,
How the Trolling used to make me smile.
And I knew if I had my chance, I could egg on a few Trolls to "dance",
And maybe we'd be happy for a while.
But then Krackhead left and so did Klown;
Volo and Turnip were banned, Mystake got run out o' town.
Bad news on the Front Page,
BIOweenia said goodbye in a heated rage.
I can't remember if I cried
When I heard that TORN was recently fried,
But sadness touched me deep inside,
The day...Black Isle died.


For tarna, Visc, an' the rest o' the ol' Islanders that fell along the way

What is a PST?

"Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger."

Well, it means Please Send Tell in a MMORPG.

 

It also means Pacific Standard Time.

 

I'm sure it has a host of other meanings, but the only meaning of real significance is Planescape: Torment.

If you're tired of fantasy RPGs where a_random_hero must save the girl and the world from the evil_wizard, demons, or the evil_dragon, try Planescape:Torment.

 

If you are about story. If you are purely an eye candy graphics sort of person skip it.

 

Hopefully one of these days someone will make a good PC RPG based on the saga of Elric of Melnibone.

 

If you wish to read a detailed write up of it with spoilers try here:

It's in my top five favorite games of all time.

 

 

Huh, I've never heard of this game? You recommend it then? How would I go about purchasing it?

PST is a difficult game to mod, bad BIS. PST has a fan base and too bad the fans can not enjoy it more with new stuff added to it like Baldur's Gate 2.

The fighting is about as fun as donkey porn, but the story, the characters! It's a blast!

Yes. Although I don't know that "lend" would really be the appropriate term, since you probably don't have to give it back, per s

Best story, writing and characters in any game ever.

Yes, he's Guido Henkel, a producer.

Looks like Torment sunk his career, unfortunately. :rolleyes:

We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.

I must bow to your superior experiences but you should probably keep such things to yourself. We might think less of you :rolleyes: .

Ruminations...

 

When a man has no Future, the Present passes too quickly to be assimilated and only the static Past has value.
