I've bought P:T years ago in some cheap edition but didn't have enough heart to spend so much time reading all those dialogues and get truly into the plot. By the time passing daily the edition became not so compatible with my further computers and now it lies somewhere on the shelf. But now the game is already bought and downloading and I've made my mind - I want to play it and I want to finish it.

Is there anyone else who hasn't played Planescape: Torment but now will do?

Who's with me on this quest? :D


// and since you have started posting useful patches here, let's make a list:

- Widescreen resolution patch - here
- Minor problems solving and upscalling patches - here
- Translation patches - here

Yes, I haven't played Torment yet, but I intend to correct that mistake soon.

I juste hope I can use resolution patch to push it to 1024*600 so I can play it comfortably on my netbook. I would appreciate a french translation too, so I can play it in my main language (since it seems very heavy on reading, and even if my english is decent I get tired more quickly when reading english). [url=http://torment.warparadise.com/index.php?page=download]This site seems to have such a translation patch.

My sub purpose in playing that game is to improve my English. Despite the fact that I have the case like yours (getting tired while reading) I want to keep determined and achieve my goals. Finishing so complex plot with reading every single line will be a great equivalent of an expensive language course ;)

And maybe a little offtopic: I will start learning French this October as it is my chosen second language on my studies :)

Widescreen patch works excellently.

There's also a couple of fan patches that fix minor problems and make the UI look nicer with high resolutions: http://www.bootstrike.com/Torment/files.html

Is there a custom font patch?

Has a good stock of IE mods.

Yay, I don't need to lift a finger this time! :)

That is a nice goal. Actually, I learned english when I was a kid by playing videogames. It allowed me to get top grades in english during all my studies :-) And I never got the feeling that I was actually working to learn english, I was just playing the games I enjoyed and trying to understand what I was supposed to do :-D
But right now I don't have much time to play, and I've got so many games on my backlog... I really want to play Planescape, but if it gets tedious because of all the reading, I'm afraid I might skip it for another game in my list and miss something, hence the french patch. If it's THAT great, though, I might replay it in original version !

Best result a programmer can have, eh? Nice work by the way, you've saved my eyes a lot of damage

Yeah I've had P:T and BG:2 for many years (like from when they cameout) but because I had burnt myself out playing BG:1 and its expansion I never got around to playing them.

I now use OSX daily and find it a pain booting into Windows but I should, I do want to play these games before I grow much older :)

Same here, because of games, music and TV Shows (Friends!) I have never got the feeling that I am working on my language. Across the years English just became my fluent environment.

My games backlog is also extremely long and interesting but there are exceptions from the rule that I should work on it with some hierarchy. Planescape: Torment is one of those exceptions.

I tried playing this game seriously a while ago, but couldnt do a quest for the godsmen or anarchists (it might have been glitched) so i stopped playing. I might get back into it, but thats pretty hard since i got 3 game series that work on my vista pc. 1)Baldurs Gate 1 Tutu. 2) Icewind Dale 2 3)Planescape Torment. I'd get back into, but its hard since baldurs gate is really more my favorite, with icewind dale 2 coming 2nd. Torment is last unfortunately.

I'm totally joining in on this as I am also a first time player and I fully intend on finishing this game. The setting/characters/story excites me a lot and what little I've played thus far has certainly got me hooked.

I'd join in as well only I had the pleasure of finding out that my original disc no longer works. 10$ is what I need xD

Never played it myself either... I have a vague recollection that I have seen someone else playing it and tried it at some point, but... that doesn't really count, does it?

I think I'll begin the adventure tonight.
