Voodoo zombies isn't that far off the mark...
But yeah, box art not the greatest.

Great game.
They don't make it like that anymore.

Wait, the game was on four CDs? I only have two. :confused:

First release was 4 cds. Later they managed to get it onto 2 cds, and apparently an eventual 1 dvd re release.

Such a great game, imo.
Lots of yaddayaddayadda, but good overall.
Meh combat, though.
My king is still Baldur's Gate 2, though.

Did they have to cut some stuff, or did they simply invest in a better CD burner? :p

From what I've read, it was just better compression of the media files. I don't have an official source for that though.

the Dragon Age: Origins engine would be perfect.
I am only agreeing because I know how flexible Aurora was. Dragon Age may or may not have had stunningly beautiful scenery and architecture, but I wouldn't know since I never looked at any of it. That camera worked for a console action RPG with occasional clever bits, but Sigil needs to look literally fantastic. One of the most important things about Torment from a gameplay perspective is how it deconstructs traditional RPG tropery, and the art is critical in setting this up.
I'm trying to work out how much of the interface genuinely adds to the feel of the environment, and how much is nostalgia. It's not easy. I once dreamed that I was playing a first-person, interfaceless version of Torment. It was like The 7th Guest with talking... lots of talking. That would actually suck in combat, so TRUE TO ORIGINAL VISION etc.
A remade interface should abandon that KISS-doll tab abstraction. Maybe more can be made of the journal - TNO would be an amazing artist obviously
once he remembered and it would reflect Planescape's steampunk influences if there were "proportional man" drawings instead of an equipment page.
Who else likes the idea of alignment dictating handwriting style?
