Just bought it on GOG during the summer sale, what am I in for?
>>340682307
If you're alright with infinity engine games and like reading then it's one of the best games ever made in terms of storytelling.
The combat is pretty bad, but the rest of the game more than makes up for it.
The characters, atmosphere, music and plot are all on point.
>>340682307
updating your journal
>>340682307
dont trust the skull
>>340682307
Tattoos and journaling. It's dated, but the story's great.
>>340682307
I might look up how to build a good character beforehand, since combat can be at once terrible and rough and really lacks any explanation if you don't know how a 20+ year old D&D system works.
Otherwise, strap in for an awesome adventure: great plot, characters, art, setting, music- everything is on-point.
>>340682307
>what am I in for?
Some really heavy existential feels.
>>340682307
One of the greatest video games ever made,
The gameplay itself is boring and not very fun, but the story and the roleplaying elements are unparalleled in their quality.

Also, OP be sure to out points in your Wisdom and Charisma, the other attributes are not that important
You shall meet enemies three, but none more dangerous than yourself in your full glory. They are shades of evil, of good, and of neutrality given life and twisted by the laws of the planes.
You shall come to a prison built of regrets and sorrow, where the shadows themselves have gone mad. There you will be asked to make a terrible sacrifice, my Love. For the matter to be laid to rest, you must destroy that which keeps you alive and be immortal no longer.

I shall wait for you in Death's Halls my love.

why is chaste succubus so hot? Was it part of her plan all along?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j8s7iveWvBs
>>340684032
In my headcanon it's filled with very detailed descriptions of all the evil stuff her succubus instincts tell her to do, but she doesn't do because she doesn't want to be evil. She doesn't let anyone read it because then they'd question her self control and mental stability.
>>340684981
The charisma checks are all stupid crap though. Wisdom is more important because they're the more important checks. They have cooler effects.
>>340684981
Holy shit, Annah's level of jealousy toward FFG is so fucking intense. I hadn't heard all these lines.
>>340684981
>Why is chaste succubus so hot?
Grace is basically the ultimate incarnation of the sexy librarian archetype.
Think of words which end in '-GRY.' Angry and hungry are two of them. There are but three words in the common tongue... what is the third word? The word is something that one uses every day. If thou hast listened carefully, I have already told thee what it is.
Was thinking about picking this up. How "thinking" intensive are these games. I want something comfy to play.
>>340685891
It's reading intensive. The gameplay is primarily reading.
Can you upload the gog installer to mega?
>>340682307
Shit gameplay but great everything else.
I lost my files two years ago and every time I consider starting over I think about the slog of shit I'll have to go through to get it running well and all the quests I'd have to do again.
>>340685356
>Holy shit, Annah's level of jealousy toward FFG is so fucking intense. I hadn't heard all these lines.
Annah has a huge crush on TNO and it kind of kills her that Grace is smarter/more cultured/more beautiful etc.
Which is sad because Grace would gladly take Annah under her wing just like she did for all the girls at the Brothel if Annah would let her.
>>340685891
As long as you can read and pay attention to the text, you'Re fine. You don't need to sit down and think what secret lies within the dialogues for an hour
Fuck, I'd totally forgotten that I picked this game up last year. Never finished it, but it drew me in like very few games ever have. I should get back to it. Mage is pretty much the best class, right?
Grace is such a cock tease in the game like holy fuck.
>>340685697

>>340685891
You have to pay attention to what you read to figure some stuff out, but it's not a bunch of hard puzzles or anything.

"Well met, wanderer. You have forgotten again, haven't you?"
>>340685891
The game is like 95% reading, so unless you think reading is thinking intensive, you shouldn't have anything to worry about.
>>340686102
Yeah, but there's no way that Annah would ever let anyone help her. FFG shows much less sexual interest in TNO than Annah does, and the fact that she gets so jealous over nothing other than the fact that she exists and is prettier is telling of just how big of a crush she has.
I guess that's why Annah has always been my favorite of the two. The final romance scene with her is also really good.
Does anyone have the gog installer?
A fun adventure with memorable characters, plenty of choice and consequence, many avenues to solve problems and a unique story. Don't expect good combat though, it's quite mediocre.
guess I'm reinstalling
gog users have some great fucking taste
>>340686867
fuck do you guys realize this is just interaction with random npc in the hive
this fucking game mayn

>>340687103
But anon, there are no trans character there, this sure is quite problematic
>>340686867
Fuck you, my backlog is big enough without you trying to coerce me into reinstalling this.
>>340686867
Damn I've only played a good character, I'm guessing this game was meant to be played as an evil fuck?
>>340687363
No, both routes are fine but going the good one first makes bad route better. I didn't have the heart for the bad one though, stopped it afterselling Dakkon to slavery. I can't take that shit
>>340687267
From the outset, Planescape: Torment's designers intended to challenge traditional role-playing game conventions: the game features no dragons, elves, goblins, or other common fantasy races; there are only three swords; the rats faced in the game can be quite challenging to defeat; and the undead sometimes prove more sympathetic than humans. The designers explained that most RPGs tend to have a "correct" approach to solving problems, which is almost always the morally good approach. They called this "predictable and stupid" and wished to make a game with greater moral flexibility, where a particular problem might have "two wrongs or two rights".
>/v/ with any story driven games
Lol enjoy ur movie, gameplay > everything
>/v/ with planescape
One of the best games ever made, not because of the gameplay but because of the story
>have this installed for easily a year or so
>only played around 45 minutes ish, maybe an hour
>can't make myself play it because it feels so... I don't know the proper term, unoptimized?
I have two monitors and it's a gigantic pain to alt-tab plus some other things I forgot. I think fullscreen is/was clunky. Unfortunately, I lack the attention span to dedicate one singular decent length of time strictly to one game without outside interference.Yes, I had the necessary mods installed too.
>>340682307
Confy game.
That "O" guy, just...listen.
>>340687001
almost every game on gog has a 9+ rating dude
GIT YOUR MITTS OFF YE SCRUFFY WEE RAT
>>340687735
chin up and play it
>>340687685
that's because most story driven games are just long cutscenes that drag out for too long with no character interaction at all, hence "enjoy ur movie"
>>340687923
They're the bestselling games, not highest ranked

meant player interaction
>>340688413What about a lying skull loli? Necromancer lolis need love too, even if they're not entirely trustworthy.
How do I find closure for my party members?
They're all just forgotten about when you beat the last boss.
>>340687685
In Planescape the player takes an active role in the story, unlike a game like The Last of Us where the story is all told through cutscenes and it's exactly the same every time.
>>340687685
>/v/ is one person
Also i hate story driven games when the story is shit or just another sob story
I personally recommend the novelization of the game. Played the game two times, both were great. Read the book 1 or 2 years later, great experience again.
>>340688720Why wouldn't you trust them they need bodyparts too
Also how are tides of numenara ? It seems like they did justice to game system and setting but how is writing for people that tried ?
>>340690104
what book?
>>340687267
I very much appreciate how PS:T could have taken the easy way out and went for something generic like saving the multiverse, but instead made it a personal quest of finding yourself. That, and despite how powerful TNO can become, he's still small fry in comparison to some truly powerful beings in the planes.
No spoilers but just give me a simple yes/no. Is there romance in this?does it go as far as to show/mention sex?
>>340693456
Kinda
Yes but not the way you'd expect
>>340691978
>what book?
Some guy took a bunch of dialogues from an average playthrough of the game and strung them together into a book. It comes with the GOG version of the game but you might be able to find it online.
>>340693456
Only a kiss.
Fapped to it anyway.
>>340693808
>>340694414
Alright
and how about variety of story
will I basically have gotten the full experience playing through it once, or can you get extremely different stories with different choices?
>>340694553
I have played through it once and felt like I got a full experience.
I've heard some choices have drastic differences but I don't feel like I've missed out or anything.
>>340694553
The good and evil routes are very different, but the routes don't branch too much. Just get the highest stats for dialogues (int, wis and cha) and you'll get the full experience on that route
expect overrated shit. the gameplay sucks, the story is poorly written, and only like 2 of the npcs get any real development.
>>340684981
this is pretty misleading. if I remember correctly most of the time you'll have like a 20 wisdom option, a 18 int option, a 20 int option, and a 18 cha option, and the wisdom one is almost always the best choice. also there's a cheap item that you can use to increase your int at any time so there's literally no reason to ever put points into it.
>>340694553
>will I basically have gotten the full experience playing through it once, or can you get extremely different stories with different choices?
It depends on what stats you have on your first playthrough. If you go high INT high WIS like most people recommend then you'll get most if the story the first time around.
Much like Fallout though, doing a playthrough as a dumb brute can be fun too.
>>340693456
There is romance yes, there is no sex, but if you can't masturbate to this, you are a pleb.
>>340695123
>even Nordom is awkwardly looking away
>>340695212
>::sipping intensifies::
>>340687267
>you don't buy armors to wear but tattoos
TNO's character screen even has a chest slot, but I think the only thing you can put there is the Dustmen robes to escape the Mortuary.
>you start normal RPGs with choosing of your name, here you didn't find out your name until the very end
They never actually say what your name is, just that you hear it whispered on the wind in that last sensory stone and you KNOW that it's your name after you'd forgotten for so long.Who else thought of their own name when that happened?
>>340689630
Tlou has more gameplay elements than most tps games fuck off retard. It has the perfect amount of gameplay for the genre it belongs to.
For the love of god remember to bring the Bronze Sphere with you to the very end of the game
>>340688413
But what about bros like Dak'kon and Vhailor?
>>340682307
Also friendly reminder that Age of Decadence is 50% off if you like RPGs
>>340696840
You're right, the entire TPS genre is shit
It should've stopped after Max Payne 2

He is by far the 3rd or 4th most powerful character just behind the Lady of Pain,Lothar and Ravel.
>>340697631
>He is by far the 3rd or 4th most powerful character just behind the Lady of Pain,Lothar and Ravel.
In the setting at large there's all kinds of Gods and upper echelon Celestials, Fiends, and Demons that would shit all over TNO.
In the game itself though, you are right.
>>340697631
ravel sux
So old games I buy on GOG will definitely work flawlessly on Windows 8, right?
>>340698108
No. But they have the best odds of working correctly.
Planescape torment has one of the best most bittersweet endings of any game I have played.
