I'm starting this thread for myself and for people like me.

I'd heard a lot about Planescape: Torment, read the rave reviews from game magazines, and yet for some reason I had never really picked it up. I found GOG and decided to finally give the game a whirl.

This time last year, I finished the game.

Since then, there's been a strange emptiness inside me. I'm looking for the game that will fill that emptiness, but there isn't one. Nothing can match the magnificence that was Planescape. Oh, I've played games since then. Old and new. I experienced the brilliance that was the first Fallout. I played Dragon Age 2 *shudder* I even went through the Baldur's Gate Trilogy again. I gave Final Fantasy VI a whirl. I will admit that I sunk low, very low. I even tried out World of Warcraft. They warned me of its addicting powers, but after the brilliance of P:T, it had no control over me.

Nothing fills the void. There is no game like Planescape. And as much as I enjoy playing it again, there is nothing like experiencing it for the first time. It reaches thoughts and emotions that no video game has ever reached. It has transcended not only its genre but its medium.

I am KingCrimson, and I am addicted to Planescape: Torment.

Neverwinter Night 2's DLC Mask of The Betrayer is often compared to PS:T, you could check that out. Arcanum's also awesome if you haven't tried it before.

Well if you're looking for emotional gaming experiences then I would recommend To The Moon, that is the most emotional game I have ever played, another emotional game is Amnesia: The Dark Descent, although it only evokes fear.

I am experiencing similar feelings, I am rather saddened by the state of game development right now since games that have thought provoking, emotional stories are so rare. It seems that with most video games the mechanics are created first and then a story is tacked on which results in a very disjointed experience.
