I read in an interview that Kreia from Kotor 2 was partly made up of leftover bits of Ravel’s personality

This game, like so many, suffered because it tried to be a book rather than a movie. Many games have suffered because they took this route. the Longest Journey, Beyond Good and Evil are two examples. In fact, if a game takes the Sundance Festival route of gaming it will also suffer. Only the big-bang Hollywood epics, get the real attention from the media. this is why developer’s feel they have to spend $40 million on every game.

I think I’ve played this game five times through, every single time it blows me away with its depth and complexity, easily the finest writing in a game to date “There is no room for ’2′ in the world of 1′s and 0′s, no place for ‘mayhap’ in a house of trues and falses, and no ‘green with envy’ in a black and white world.”

Wow… guess what just got moved to the top of my need-to-play pile, again.

*Chuckle* I’ve got to ask, why the mod? You’ll be spending more time reading text, which, as it turns out, works extremely well in today monstrous LCD panel. I’m getting more worried about how well PST will work in future OS though. Has anyone tried PST on Vista yet?

Yeh I found out about that mod a few weeks ago.. haven’t had time to run it yet… would be a nice reason to go through planescape again.

Sucram said: “I desperately want to play through Torment again but the low-res is overly distracting. I’ve been assuming a fan somewhere would have created a resolution hack by now.”

A fan has.

The mod is still in beta. It crashes your PC when you enter small rooms. You currently have to temporarily drop the screen resolution back to original to get around this. The high-resolution / widescreen mod also works with Baldur’s Gate: Tales of the sword Coast, Baldur’s Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Baldur’s Gate II: Throne of Bhaal, Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter and Icewind Dale II.

I read in an interview that Kreia from Kotor 2 was partly made up of leftover bits of Ravel’s personality. The two are quite similar in retrospect.

I really like PS:T, the graphics are fine – as long as I can make out what’s going on I don’t care about graphics. The wheel menu thing is a bit annoying though.

One of the best parts about it is you can play it multiple times and chances are you will see new bits each time. I finally played it with a walkthrough after the third time just to make sure I hadn’t missed anything and I had actually missed a fair few little things.

“Fallout is about an unimportant person who saves the world. Torment is about one of the most importent figures (who does not know that fact) who tries to discover it’s past.”

The Nameless One isn’t particularly important. His quest only really matters to the handful of lost souls who find themselves drawn to him, and even then, usually to their cost.
