When I first played it (about 1 year ago) I thought it was a nice breath of fresh air, though it did seem to have a weird stat system and such.
What bothered me most was the gruesome red font color in conversation trees that would kill my eyes after 30 minutes of playing.

Except that they would make it 3rd-person over the shoulder and put more swords in and make FFG romanceable and add Quick-Time Events and oh god.
Want to bet that would sell like holy hot bread? (after which a lot of people would yell that it's too hard to play on a console)

Well it's sitting on my hard drive right now and I only played the first few minutes.
This is a good enough excuse to give it a proper play, I suppose.
See you guys on the other plane.
Tips:
All the stats are important as I recall, but speech based ones (INT, CHA and whatever else) are way more important.
Don't waste your time leveling up Nameless One as a thief. That's what Annah is for.

It's one of those few late 90s games, along with maybe Deus Ex and Fallout 2, with a level of ambitious intelligence and maturity that seems more and more amazing as the years pass by.
You used Fallout 2 and maturity in the same sentence. :thumb:

Yes, Fallout 2 expects a level of intelligence and creativity when dealing with many quests and characters that few other RPGs would demand (not to mention the dialogue, which reads like literature compared to the Bethesda sequel).

Except that it really pales compared to the first Fallout. Fallout 2 is childish.

Happy 10th Birthday, Torment.
Not that I am a big fan of remakes or anything, but if anybody were to remake this game, the Dragon Age: Origins engine would be perfect.
