Terrible UI and combat
Literally only one worthwhile game on Infinity Engine.
>>344766312
a real shit show if you don't like cRPGs and are used to contemporary playerbabying
if you like cRPGs then just make sure to max out wisdom and int/cha for canon

A thread full of poor baits
Why does everyone on /v/ and /vr/ shit on this game? Surely it can't be as bad as Fallout 2
>>344766312
Best story ever told in any medium.
>>344767158
Saying it has shit gameplay is being kind to it. Also overrated writting.

hidden doors that are not doors.
ancient machines that come to life.
talking someone into suicide.
Endure. And in enduring, grow stronger.
Meticulously reading shit because one mistake can end in death, also logic on your end and backtracking and remembering shit and bad combat but for some reason I still find it fun.
It's really a great game if you're not a teenager basically.
INT is kind of broken because reading runes and breaking them > beating a skeletal giant to death with a crowbar
>>344766791
I hate cRPGs and PST is one of my favorites because it's nothing like a crpg
>>344767476
I meant surely it at least as good as FO2. Brainfart
>>344767957
If you are not a teenager you read books.
FUCK RPG CODEX!
Recently started playing this myself.
It's interesting for sure, yes the combat is awful real-time-with-pause but none of the fights are difficult, it's clear the devs wanted you to focus on the story.
The only bad things are knowing which items you're supposed to keep to use later on and sometimes the alignment system is goofy.
It's definitely way better than Pillars of Eternity though, I'll give it that.
>>344766312
pseudointellectual wank mostly
but it's good
>>344766312
The cancer of videogames, a pretentious "experience" with absolutely no gameplay (worse than movie games). It also attempts to be deep and philosophical but in reality it's about as mentally challenging as a puzzle for 7 year olds.
>>344766312
If you are an RPGeezer a pleasant stroll down memory lane.
If not buyers remorse.

Fallout 2 >>>> Fallout 1
The only thing 1 has over 2 is a slightly better story.

When will people stop using this meme phrase?

I wish more games could be as pseudointellectual as torment is
>>344766312
Greatest of all time.

Doesn't it play like Diablo?
Gonna start playin a crpg tonight
0-1: Underrail
2-3: Age of Decadence
4-5: Pillars of Eternity
6-7: Planescape Torment
8-9: Arcanum
>>344767459
write better
>>344768847
No, plays like Baldur's Gate without everything that makes Baldur's Gate combat decent.
>>344769042
so it's actually properly balanced? neat
>>344768851
I made myself an cRPG list to play this summer.
1. Baldur's gate saga. this one is done
2. Neverwinter Nights
3. Might and magic VII
4. World of Xeen
5. Planet Escape: Torment
6. Shillars of Equality. I have it on steam but unsure if it's worth playing.
>>344769042
You mean a shitload of summoning spells to give your party a meatshield of polar bears and fire spirits? It's just your average semi-real time RPG combat with the familiar RPG division into four combat roles - tank, healer, AoE, ranged DPS. I dunno why people always complain about Torment's combat when it was exactly what you'd expect with no surprises. Maybe it's all the kids that couldn't get enough of time stop and contingency spells in BG.

>Neverwinter Nights
terrible sp experience, nwn was good because of mp
>Might and magic VII
could be unplayable for some, good luck
>World of Xeen
same as above
>torment
masterpiece
>Shillars of Equality
a decent 7/10 with both expansions included, worth a shot
Baby's first philosophy
>>344769768
i'm a philosophy grad student, there's almost nothing explicitly philosophical about it, it just tells a good story
>>344769896
Not trolling, genuinely curious. Why that major? Are you aiming for something?
>>344769737
With a few mods I'm enjoying nwn quite much with my level 23 paladin. Solid 7/10 for me. Game gives quite fun for forever DM D&D veterans like me. I'm now in 2nd chapter of Hordes of The Underdark. It's mostly hard hacking and slashing but at least it has a not bitchy drowfu.
>>344769236
Planescape torment has really shitty combat encounters. If they were better people would probably enjoy the combat more.
>>344769737
>xeen and mm6 unplayable
>NWN not good because of the singleplayer modules
Holy shit kill urself
>>344770121
Check out custom modules like Cave of Songs, A Dance With Rogues, and Swordflight. NWN2 has some good modules too.
>>344770445
>xeen and mm6 unplayable
I said i could be uplayable for some newcomers
>NWN not good because of the singleplayer modules
do you really think nwn is a good crpg game? you're either a huge d&d fanboy or never played mp aka the main reason to play nwn
>>344770732
>crpg game
Yeah I play it on my pc computer SP player only.
>>344770732
Don't worry. I think I can handle MM games after finishing VI and VIII year ago.

cook better

it really isn't overrated. there are almost no games that tell a better story than PS:T or have a protagonist that's a tenth as interesting as TNO. Even if you find a game that tells a better story than PS:T, you'd be hard pressed to find one that tells a story that's presented better through role playing and player choice.
>>344770110i just like philosophy, I might become a professor after I get my phd or I might go into contracting. i'm not terribly interested in advancing human knowledge or any of that savior complex stuff. i just want to keep learning until I die and philosophy broadly encompasses every subject from religion to personal conduct to linguistic phenomenology to mathematics to neuroscience.
Great game. Fun. good atmosphere. Interesting lore. Probably more interesting if you've played a lot of RPGs, as a lot of it is intentionally written to subvert tropes.
Combat and UI is fine, kids just like to bitch.
One particular thing I love about this game is that if you suck, you only get to find out half of the story.
Fuck going to work today, this thread has made me want to play it again.
