I originally bought this game as something to distract me while I waited for Throne of Bhaal to come out; never have I made a more wise purchase. Planescape: Torment is a remarkable game, with a wast array of sidequests, and where everything and everyone is somehow connected. The plot is somewhat mature, but the 3rd person perspective makes is much less graphic than games like Quake or Doom. The NPCs are very entertaining, and offer a vast array of skills and dialogue (I like the fact that the PC can initiate dialogue themselves). I like that the character's actions defined his alignment, not vice verse. I didn't like the limitations put on the main character's appearance and sex(as a female, I like to play w/ female PCs), but I didn't mind that much. I also liked that the area-affect spells didn't damage party members (as they do in the BG series). However, the first part of the game was quite confusing, and I had a tough time navigating through all the sections of the slums, and remembering where everything was (the programmers did include a handy map-marking feature which helps though). I also wish that there had been some expansion of some aspects in the game (such as the mysterious "Lady of Pain"), but far be it from me to complain. Since it doesn't appear that Amazon has this game in stock at the moment, I suggest that you drive to the nearest software storm and buy this game!!
