Simply Amazing
Without a question, Torment is a classic--simply one of the best RPGs ever made. With impressively written (and voluminous) dialogue, the plot retains movement and tension from start to finish. You have the opportunity to develop your character through his actions, and it's equally viable to play a Chaotic Evil character as a Lawful Good.The game is fairly linear, especially compared with the Fallouts. Compared with Baldur's Gate, there are not many NPCs that can join your party (although those who do are much more impressively done). As in Baldur's Gate, you have a clunky if servicable combat system--but fighting isn't the point of the game. You also must be prepared to spend most of your time in text conversations, which are far more in depth than either Baldur's Gate or Fallout (more like Ultima VII).Still, if you've ever enjoyed an RPG or adventure game, you're doing yourself a disservice if you don't play Torment.
