OT: a nice RPG-ish game?

I agree that Planescape: Torment is a great game. But surely it's more adventure and less RPG?

Not at all. In fact it is the Mother of all RPGs in my opinion. After all, we sometimes forgot that RPG stands for Role Playing Game. And the quality and quantity of roleplaying in PS:T is unsurpassed by any other computer RPG up to date, IMHO.

In addition PS:T has all "standard" computer RPG's "wheels and whisles" that you could possible ask for, and it is based upon AD&D pen and paper RPG system. But unlike so many of its computer brethen it actually has the story to tell, which happened to rival best of adventure games (and most of good fantasy books) out there, and it allows you to change and shape this story as you go. But that doesn't make the game "adventure" by any means. It is pure RPG, amd much more so than many mainstream one.


(Sorry if I sound a bit like preaching, but as you can tell I really love this game )
