| Planescape Torment | comment |
Released in 1999 by Black Isle Studios and set in the Dungeons And Dragons setting Planescape in the Outer Planes, the Role Playing Game Planescape: Torment was applauded for its intense, detailed storyline and script. What starts off looking like a stereotypical amnesia tale drops you and your hero into a very strange world with skilfully interlocking plotlines about your past, complete with a series of helpers who may or may not * know* more than they're letting on. It's like Memento in computer game form, but with better writing and a floating skull friend. It's also well-* known* for being heavy on the personal interactions and puzzles, while relatively light on the combat - so much so that it's more a highly interactive novel than a game. In many situations, your allies are more useful for the advice they can bring and the clues they can decipher than any capacity as "another warm body to throw at the enemy" (although some of them are pretty hot indeed). The game makes an effort to subvert or avoid as many RPG tropes and cliches as possible. There will be no Saving The World from yet another tinhead in Scary Impractical Armor. No Cool Swords or armor, for that matter, either. Instead, you have to make do with "equippable" tattoos, earrings and even eyes. Gameplay And Story Segregation is averted as well - Your statistics matter a great deal, and the game plays dramatically differently depending on what you decide to emphasize. The main character's Healing Factor allows you, among other things, to wield your own arm as a club and wear your own intestines as an armlet. You can bite your fingers off and pluck your eyeballs out in order to replace them with something better (and every time the game describes the process in vivid detail). Death is usually just a minor annoyance that can be often turned to your advantage. Bottom line: this game is strange. And, by general agreement, quite possibly one of the finest computer role-playing games ever made. |

Immune To Fate: In the Hive Marketplace, the local gambler refuses to play dice with your character after the first go, because you "have no fortune." Later, in the Clerk's Ward, if the player pays a fortune teller to tell his future, she will tell him that he is one of those rare individuals who have no predetermined fates, and can do as they will. She then gives him a refund. | |

Epileptic Trees | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_209a7188 | comment |
Epileptic Trees: The plot itself can give birth to umpteen, but in-game dialogue mentions an all-time great: that the Lady Of Pain, mysterious and godlike ruler of Sigil, who can banish lawbreakers to endless, eternal mazes (or just kill them by casting a shadow made of thousands of magical blades) for crimes like murder, treason or daring to worship her, is actually six giant squirrels wearing a cloak, a ring of levitation and an illusion spell. A popular fan one is that the Nameless One's original incarnation is Zerthimon. Despite the fact that the Nameless One appears as a human male, albeit covered in scars (not only on screen, but characters who bring up the Nameless One's appearance also describe him this way), and the game's creators have outright said that, while they don't * know* who he was, they do * know* who he was not, and he was not Zerthimon. The guy sending the Symbol of Torment spell? It's the DM. |

Inexplicable Treasure Chests | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_23a843f1 | comment |
Inexplicable Treasure Chests: Pharod's men did a really lousy job looting the Weeping Stone Catacombs. For that matter, there seem to be an awful lot of treasure chests scattered around the Dead Nations and the Warrens of Thought, where no one has any use for them. Justified - the Catacombs are a dangerous place, even for a scarred immortal badass, let alone - lowly thugs. All the easily accessible places in the Catacombs have been picked clean. The remaining valuables are usually protected by assorted deathtraps... and littered with the corpses of Pharod's would be looters. The Dead Nations' inhabitants have no need for all the loot due to their extreme isolationism. No such justification for the Warrens of Thought, though. |

Player Punch | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_2e5b3625 | comment |
If One is to join the faction of the Sensates, he gains access to their private sensorium. Within is a Sensory Stone entitled 'Longing'. In it are Deionarra's experiences, days before her death. And as the Nameless One, you experience both sides of the conversation (it being with the past Incarnation Deionarra loved), and come to *know* its horrow, especially as a good character. It is not so much a Player Punch as the Lady's Shadow of Player Punches. In the same private sensorium, you find a trap from the Paranoid Incarnation and the experience of being tortured by Ravel Puzzlewell with some interactivity. 'Longing' manages to be the worst of the three, by far. | |

Squick: The game gets really vivid and detailed in describing what happens when you pluck out your own eyeball and replace it with a magical prosthetic. Or when you bite off your own finger and use your Healing Factor to graft another to the stump. Or when you ask a woman who prepares dead bodies to cut you open and rummage around in your guts for magical items left by previous incarnations. Also, two words: "baby oil." | |

Character Alignment: Being that this is based on Dungeons And Dragons, it's not surprising. True Neutral: As a blank slate, your character starts off this way and will have this adjusted based on player actions. Thankfully in this case the concept of alignment-change penalties was ignored. |

Being Evil Sucks | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_454ea5de | comment |
And played straight, in a strange way: The choices themselves generally do not fall under the genre. The simple fact of being evil in the first place does. The game offers little to no benefit for it. In the short and long term, being good will typically be the best course of action for a self-centered, greedy character. | |

You find at the end of the game that the portal to the final area is located in the place that you woke up in at the start of the game, and that you had the means to get there from the start, just not the knowledge. The Bronze Sphere you find for Pharod is a container of the memories of your first life. And so on.... | |

Video Game Cruelty Potential | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_4deca651 | comment |
Videogame Cruelty Potential: One of the most epic examples in gaming. No random violence played for laughs here, this game will make you be cruel, Kick-The-Dog-And-Then-Rape-It style. Some of the genuinely horrible things you can do to people just through dialogue are guaranteed to make you hate yourself. Unless you're just as Evil, of course. Special mention goes to the ability to squeeze every last drop of soul-crushing goodness out of a situation set up long before the game even started: The Practical Incarnation engineered a sequence of events that ultimately led to a githzerai swearing a life debt to him - only to have the gith find out later that The Nameless One is immortal, and he's pretty much signed himself into slavery of his own free will (essentially a living hell for a githzerai). You're free to remind him of this every chance you get. | |

Guide Dang It | |

Guide Dang It: Installing the game on a recent computer can feel like this. This guide on a modern PST installation, which shows what mods should be used ("mods" in this case being necessities like fixpacks and screen resolution mods, not game-changers), contains nine steps until playing the game, most of them with multiple substeps. It doesn't help that the current production of the game by Atari, an extremely cheap package consisting of a single DVD in a plastic case and nothing else, is actually an outdated version of the game while the previous runs were up-to-date. To say nothing of the actual game mechanics, particularly the degree to which your statistics affect your dialogue options, even early on in the game. |

Anticlimax Boss | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_73d4945b | comment |
Anticlimax Boss: After reaching the Fortress of Regrets, opening the Bronze Sphere, and discovering both your true name and the source of your torment, thereby achieving emotional catharsis, you get to fight the Big Bad. While you can defeat him with words if you have high enough wisdom, intelligence, or charisma, or if you get the Blade of the Immortal, he isn't all that impressive of an enemy in physical combat either. | |

Beast And Beauty | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_78a2b63c | comment |
Beast And Beauty: Played with via the Nameless One's romantic possibilities, who are, respectively, a tiefling (demon-blooded) and a succubus. And subverted with the Nameless One and Ravel Puzzlewell, which is more like Beast And Beast. Played straight with the Nameless One and Deionarra (although the incarnation Deionarra fell in love with felt nothing for her and coldly led her to her death, just because he expected she would be more useful to him as a ghost.) |

Cult Classic: Essentially doomed to this, given that about seven months after this game came out, a sequel to a much simpler and more popular game came out. It didn't help that combat, Diablo II's bread and butter, tended to feel like an afterthought in this game. |

Moral Event Horizon | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_7f2589d4 | comment |
Moral Event Horizon: There's a chance it will be crossed in the story's narrative. You have several opportunities to cross it yourself. Some past incarnations (Especially the Practical Incarnation, and apparently your first incarnation) crossed it already. Your first incarnation did not merely cross the horizon. He ran past it screaming, scissors in hand, baby entrails dripping from his open mouth, dead puppy wrapped uncomfortably around his genitalia, and killing everything in his in his path in such horrible ways that they envy the dead puppy. The first incarnation was not a nice person. A thousand lifetimes of saintly penance would not be enough to make up for your first incarnation. He's the Good-aligned incarnation. And he's the one warning you. |

Improbable Weapon User: You can equip yourself with such improbable weapons as a fingernail, a sharpened set of antlers, or a severed arm. Your own severed arm! Vhailor and Annah have the most likely weapons, with an axe and exotic punch daggers, respectively. Dak'kon has a sword made of a material that is shaped by his will, Ignus naturally flings fireballs, Fall-From-Grace's mere touch can inflict scratch damage while her kiss does a little better, Nordom has two spirits that have conveniently taken up the shape of crossbows, and Morte can not only masticate foes to death, but also summon mobs of skulls to bulldoze them later in the game. You can find magical teeth for Morte, too. Living magical teeth that can evolve and be talked to. |

Pacifist Run: There are exactly two characters in the game that you have to kill. Good luck finding them! The very first zombie and a Curst prison guard, both need to be killed for a key they carry. You do need to defeat some of the game's "bosses," but that doesn't mean you have to kill them. And by extension, Stealth Run, though the Thief Character Class is usually the least played. |

Warrior Therapist: A Nameless One with sufficiently high stats in Willpower and Intelligence. If you concentrate on leveling up those two stats, by the game's midpoint, you can teach Dak'kon a thing or two about the religious relic he's been studying for decades. Keep leveling, and by the end of the game, you can Hannibal Lecture the Big Bad into giving up without a fight. | |

Stripperiffic: Annah's outfit◊. Which is downright Puritan compared to the clothing worn by female Upper-Class Townspeople◊. Oh, and the Lower-Class◊ ones too. And played straight, in a strange way: The choices themselves generally do not fall under the genre. The simple fact of being evil in the first place does. The game offers little to no benefit for it. In the short and long term, being good will typically be the best course of action for a self-centered, greedy character. |

Non Standard Game Over: Since you're immortal and can't get a "standard" game over, there are only a few ways to screw up: Become permanently bound to one place. Piss off someone very powerful: "You've tested your immortality against the wrong person." Die in a place where your resurrection doesn't work. There's only one such place in the game and it's instantly recognizable. |

Death Is A Slap On The Wrist | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_99ac5510 | comment |
Death Is A Slap On The Wrist: An understatement. A valid tactic in battle against a superior opponent is to keep wading in, bashing him a bit, dying, and coming back for more. Every time you resurrect, you come back with full health, while your opponent is still left with whatever damage you've dealt him. Eventually, you win. Note that this only applies to the main character. His fellow party members will be Killed Off For Real if they try it. This is the premise of the entire game. There are only about four mandatory fights in the entire game. Dialogue is in many cases intentionally more dangerous than combat in this game. Even the deaths of your party members don't amount to much, however, as you can gain the ability to resurrect them up to three times a day at the very beginning of the game. There are several ways to permanently die in the game or otherwise be incapable of completing the quest, as well. |

Chekhov's Armoury: If you are prompted, either in dialogue or in narration, to pick up an item, do not lose that item. No, not even the prybar you were prompted to get to pull out the bolts on the skeleton. You will need it later. There will be a test. Above all, for the love of all that is good and holy, do NOT just leave the sphere lying with Pharod's corpse. It is not as useless as it seems. Go back, pick it up and keep it until the bitter end. |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: All those people who were slaughtered when Curst slid into Carceri? Your fault. Say, maybe you should have asked yourself why the angel with his wings burned off was magically imprisoned beneath a town populated entirely by traitors. | |

Magikarp Power: The Missile of Patience is a puny first level spell that deals minimal damage to a single enemy. Then, as your mage reaches level 11, it summons a Glowing Repeating Ballista of Doom. The Blade of the Immortal also works in a similar, but plot-related manner. | |

Adaptation Decay | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_ad4861bf | comment |
Adaptation Decay: The official novelization. Unlike many others (like the horrible, Baldurs Gate novelization), its problems are due to having been based off of an early draft of the game script. Thus, many of the characters and events are completely different to how they turn out in the game. Among others, Dak'kon is following the Nameless One (whom he, personally, calls "Hra'ka'lothanek", which is Githzerai for "He Who Seeks His Heart") due to having originally been ordered to do so by his superiors higher up in the Believers of the Source faction, Fall-From-Grace doesn't join the party, Annah sacrifices herself to destroy (at least temporarily) the shadows pursuing the Nameless One, and Fhjull Forked-Tongue is revealed to have been behind everything. There is a fan-made "novelisation" (actually just the text from the game with a small amount of add-in text to make it read like a book) found here. The non-linear nature of the game itself, however, does mean that any possible novelisation will only be true to one particular playthrough. |

Visual Novel: Although not in the traditional sense of the genre, the vast amount of dialogue (describing the look and feel of the place) and the fact that it is heavily on the storytelling side of the Gameplay And Story Segregation makes this one of the most brain-wreaking fantasy novels of the nineties that just happened to be released as a computer game. | |

Your first incarnation did not merely cross the horizon. He ran past it screaming, scissors in hand, baby entrails dripping from his open mouth, dead puppy wrapped uncomfortably around his genitalia, and killing everything in his in his path in such horrible ways that they envy the dead puppy. The first incarnation was not a nice person. A thousand lifetimes of saintly penance would not be enough to make up for your first incarnation. He's the Good-aligned incarnation. And he's the one warning you. | |

One Stat To Rule Them All | |
| PlanescapeTorment/int_cd402dbc | comment |
One Stat To Rule Them All: Wisdom is God. Almost literally. Oddly enough, due to the fact the Nameless One can only be a Fighter, Rogue, or Mage, Wisdom is the only stat besides Charisma that will never have any significant use in combat. Given that combat is not a strong focus of the game, it doesn't take away from the fact that Wisdom is the most important stat in the game. |

| PlanescapeTorment/int_d1d00bb6 | comment |
Arbitrary Headcount Limit: You can only have six members of your party. There is no in-game explanation for why this is so. If you wish to recruit someone else, you will have to leave one of the people you brought with you behind. This is especially frustrating with Vhailor and (possibly) Nordom: if you leave someone behind in the locations where you meet them, you will never see them again. | |

I Don't Like The Sound Of That Place | |

I Don't Like The Sound Of That Place: The Fortress of Regrets. In keeping with the setting, the name is literal: the place is actually built from the regrets of all the Nameless One's past incarnations. | |

Deconstructor Fleet: Many RPG tropes are turned on their head. Deconstruction: The Planescape setting itself is a deconstruction of roleplaying game worlds, specifically D&D, specifically AD&D 2nd Edition. It takes what are arguably the worst aspects of the edition (such as the somewhat skewed take on the struggle between order and chaos in Moorcock's Elric novels), follows them to their natural conclusions, and thereby constructs a remarkably interesting world that provides superb backdrop for stories like that of Torment. |
