    It's fantastic. Disco Elysium has some nice ideas with the talking skills and thought cabinets and such, but Planescape Torment just has a much cooler story and setting overall.

      As far as I could tell, Beamdog hasn't touched any of the writing in Planescape and simply added some QoL and integrated a popular fan patch that restores cut content. Unless you don't want to give them money on principle for what they did to Baldur's Gate, then PS:T EE is fine.

      PoE is not remotely similar to PS:T or DE. Dunno about Tyranny, I stopped playing after the fist conversation then refunded it. You come bearing an atomic bomb in your hand looking for an excuse to use it, and the first thing this b***h does is sass you, and you can't even execute her for it. Literally abandoned its own premise in the first minute.

      Rpgcodex is pro-combat radical and hates everything with story, non basic b***h characters, romances and dialogues besides BG2 (childhood games are sacred). So the best way to larp is to pretend to play something like Knights of the Chalice or Dungeon Rats.

      Aw man, if you liked Planescape, you'll absolutely love pic related. For the best playthrough, choose the options where you admit you are in fact the Changing God, because you actually are
      The game comes across as fairly big-brained with all the concepts it explores. Lots of metaphysical mumbo jumbo to think about, and the setting is one of the very few I actually wish I lived in.

      Most Planescape enjoyers hate this game tho

          Reminder to watch this

          because you're not going to hear 99% of them in the game

          It was advertised as Planescape 2. But PST was developed specially to be different from other games during fantasy boom. It was made to break cliches of era instead of copying classic stories that were popular. Imitating PST is literally the opposite of this idea. You can't create PST 2 by imitating PST because that's /0. And so Numenera is just a product. Wild idea of make crazy game vs idea to copy crazy game from the past and call it spiritual successor. This is why
          >he game comes across as fairly big-brained with all the concepts it explores
          tried so hard to be vague, "without the rules". But if there is no rules entire story is random purple banana. They did this trying to catch on PST story. But again PST story wasn't like that.

          Not him, but the game tries too hard to ape Planescape Torment and fails hard. They also thought that the more words they put in the game, the better, which obviously failed as well.

    PST is unironically too many words, and not in a funny or interesting way most of the time. Having most of the dialogue options be storydump is cringe bro. It's not even a bad story, but the game overwhelmingly shines the hardest when you have real freedom and choices.

    Played Planescape up to around Curst hoping to enjoy it, then dropped it. Best parts of the game are really the lore dumps like in the Smoldering Corpse bar, or when they explain how doors work and it's basically a nightmare world since you can accidentally get teleported into a maze and be alone forever with no way out.

    Downsides are the strengths of the game lie mostly in the setting of Planescape. The combat sucks, and I hated every second of it. Planescape fans also hype up the "twist" which is really revealed to you like 1/3 of the way through the game and instead of being some big reveal, it's just like "Yeah Nameless One did some evil shit and he's stuck in endless rebirth now whoops". I imagine the love for this game comes from fantasy fans who are not used to really creative settings being in games, so they love it for that reason (they also probably love Morrowind). The setting is cool IMO but we just don't see enough of it. Too much time wasted on shitty combat, could have used more areas, more quests, and a better plot.

      The "twist" about you having past incarnations is about as important as your character being amnesiac in any other RPG. Your forgotten identity is simply how you learn more about the world and your companions. It's not supposed to be a big reveal and I don't know why you wanted it to be one.
      But yes, the combat is shit and I hated every single second of it too.

            Certainly wasn't me. If people are praising that twist, it's probably just because of how interesting the mystery of TNO's past is, rather than the twist itself.

            Yeah probably

        Yeah it's not really about twists. Everything in this game is well crafted around "what can change the nature of a man" theme, MC and his torment. How he and his incarnations affected the world. Hell almost all quests are tied to MC as I can remember. And you see all those connections with theme in True Route (full Wis play). This is very similar to The Wheel of Time series where only ascended ones can understand why it is one of the best written fantasy. But I guess anon you replies is baiting. "fans" card baiting.

    Planescape is a good detective story and has an interesting setting and imaginative gameplay elements, but the combat is dogshit and as soon as you leave sigil the game turns to shit.

    I put off playing torment. I tried playing it and loved the first (crypt?) Level. I got to the city of locks or something and got annoyed by the constant ganks by enemy gangs. I was able to learn a little lore like I remember a bar with the main attraction being a mage that caught himself on fire forever or something. But the combat was so fricking dull and repetitive. Is it worth going back bros? I can stomach bad game play for good story but I've avoided story so hard I never looked much into it

    Planescape is a setting where belief is everything.
    It stands to reason TNO thought his crime to be unforgivable so thoroughly, he actually made it unforgivable.

    planescape is prime midwit bait. it pretends to be deep but at it's core it's offensively stupid. it accidentally brings up interesting concepts like how memory affects behavior, but then ignores it all for stoner tier "dude what if everyone believed a tree was on fire would it start burning for real?"
