One of the most fun aspects of Torment is that the weird setting influences everything from weapons to NPCs and beyond. The graphics is simply superb, and even strangely compelling. There are many keyboard shortcuts for most important actions, and you will quickly get used to keyboard + mouse combination. and must eventually come to terms with horrible deeds you have committed in the past.Īnyone who has played any Black Isle game will be familiar with the interface - which is very easy to learn and use. As you journey into the strange and wonderful world of Planescape, you will slowly learn about your life. The catch: you discover that you have become an immortal. The game casts you as Nameless, a hero who woke up with amnesia. Nevertheless, if you are looking for an excellent RPG with a truly superb storyline that puts the "kill the foozle" plot of most other RPGs to shame, Torment is a must-have. Or perhaps the leap from the familiar AD&D world of Baldur's Gate to the alien setting and more mature storyline of Torment was just too great for the many followers of Baldur's Gate. Interface tweaks, however, were necessary to make room for the larger and more detailed animations. Perharps some of reasons for poor sales are the fact that there were quite a few bugs in the initial release, the sheer amount of text the player had to read, and the fact that the well-known interface from Baldur's Gate was changed into something more difficult to use.
Despite blazing reviews, Interplay's formidable marketing machine, and many accolades of "1999 RPG of the year," Planescape: Torment did not achieve the same commercial success of Baldur's Gate.
