Torment How many times have you finished Planescape: Torment?

[Skinwalker]

It's like that other poll, but this one is not anonymous.

Personally, I've finished it every single time I've started to play it, and I've played it probably 3-4 times in total over the years. Which is very high praise, considering how rarely I replay video games.

 

[Caim]

Delete this one and add the kingcomrade option, you fucking philistine.

 

[Skinwalker]

add the kingcomrade option

Fine, I added the kingcomrade option, Chaim.

 

[Abu Antar]

Thrice. Twice, just doing whatever I felt like, and once as a talker, and avoiding combat for much of the game.

 

[Pulse]

Thrice. Twice, just doing whatever I felt like, and once as a talker, and avoiding combat for much of the game.

Which time was more fun/fulfilling?

Which time was more fun/fulfilling?

The first time was the most fun, because it leaves you with the most sense of wonder.

 

[Humanophage]

 

[Cryomancer]

Once. Final fantasy style spells kills my desire to play it again.

 

[Butter]

Only once, despite multiple attempts to replay it. Fallout 1 is the better game.

 

[None]

Twice, with about 10 years between playthroughs. One time was enough to burn the game into my memory, so any subsequent playthroughs had to wait for me to forget things. Because I'm not going to replay it for the combat or build diversity.

 

[Mr. Magniloquent]

Twice, about 6 years apart if I recall correctly. First run I wound up CE, mostly due to the Tome of Pestilent Thought. I did a goody-2-shoes run the second time. It wasn't much different.

 

[oldmanpaco]

Seven times. No more, no less.

 

[Rincewind]

Exactly zero times. Tried it like 6-7 years ago for the first time, then got bored at that talking alley cutscene, and there was just too much text in general... Combat is shit but there were some interesting ideas, for sure. I think I will try it again with adjusted expectations sometimes, and pretend it's an adventure game with some bad combat tacked on.

 

[Modron]

No idea, at least three times?

I've played it for an hour and dropped it into bin. What a terrible game. Gorasul does the same thing better.

Planescape: Torment is a poor man's Gorasul.

 

[Vic]

Only once, gameplay is too shit to play more than once for the story.

 

[Reinhardt]

twice. first time blind, second with guide to get all missed content.

 

[Cyberarmy]

Three times, once with a full warrior completely blind playthrough. Second one was thief and was faster due to knowladge from before. Full wisdom and intelligence mage was the last one and checked out a walkthrough to see if I miss anything.
Warrior was the most fun, mostly because it was the first. I wouldn't recomment a thief playthrough to anyone, no real thieving options other than backstabs...

 

[Skinwalker]

The people who voted "never finished it" should be thrown off a cliff.

 

[NaturallyCarnivorousSheep]

U first.

 

[Vic]

whut can change duh naturr of a mahn

 

[Jvegi]

Twice, abandoned it multiple times before 2008 and after that on my attempt of the 3rd run with an evil character.

While combat isn't great, I find that the talk about how poor it is is slightly exaggerated. It's not great, but still serviceable. I can't counter argue long spell animations, though. Just don't play a mage, maybe?
