On one of his Twitter feeds, Trent Oster declared that his company would like to prepare an enhanced edition for good ol' Planescape: Torment.
Although I am extremely sceptical about this idea (considering that Chris Avellone would probably not be part of the team), I still would like to know what would YOU like to see added/changed within a new edition.
As for me, the following would be delightful and/or necessary:
- Incorporating ALL of the fixes made by Qwinn and his mods,
- expanding the banter between NPC's, especially those that have little interaction currently (Dak'kon/Morte; Vhailor/Nordom etc.)
- expanding the overall story and level of interaction with some of the more shallow party members, especially Ignus and Fall-From-Grace (I want a regular romance!)
- expanding the factions, especially Xaositects (adding new quests, promotion opportunities, faction-only spells etc.) and perhaps adding at least one new (personally would love the Athar since, as the manual of the game states, the Nameless One is forsaken by all the gods),
- implementing more "Lawful and Evil" and "Chaotic and Good" dialogue options, since those were sparse,
- allowing TNO to become a priest (fits perfectly with the Athar, in which case he would be a priest of The Great Unknown, or any other "priest of a concept, not a god" theme)
- finally some pieces of armour/robes (I myself would make all of them unique and faction-based, even in the case of common armour),
In short, I would like to see more of a "deepening" of the game, rather than an expansion. However, if I would HAVE to choose a new quest line, I'd like to see more told about Aoskar, the dead god of portals. His story always seemed so sad to me and, once again, would fit great with Athar (or The Sign of One, who are trying to ressurect him).
