Come on, you refuse to buy a game because of the name? I agree it's awful, but it's not like it affects the gameplay or anything. As for the sequel, I have no idea what they're going to call it.

Luckily, i heard of the game through great praise and excitement at a RPG forum...so I already knew I'd enjoy it, and never gave the name and box any attention....it's a wonderful game.....gee, now I want to play it again..

Best not to write things like that - someone at Larian might see it and think it's a good idea

I know what you mean...but having played it in its entirety, rest assured it is no more religious than Diablo or any other RPG with cleric types. The box and title just do not match the game itself...terrible packaging and name....but the game is WONDERFUL, i promise.

the Bioware games are definitely time intensive, but worth it...i've completed Planescape Torment and Baldurs Gate, and am now involved in Baldurs Gate II with Neverwinter Nights on queue!

knife? no.. the ending i got was solemn.. i saved before the end and tried different outcomes but only found two...awful and solemn..the solemn one was good...but no knife...i think i need to replay it! I want to replay it anyway, as I only learned later that maxing intelligence and wisdom gave you a fuller, richer game..

To get the best ending you need to get the blade of the immortal and threaten to kill yourself with it. This forces the transcendent one to merge with you and give you your mortality back.

No, you don't really need any blade It's also possible to threaten to destroy yourself through sheer willpower. But you need really high wisdom and/or intelligence for that.

SPOILERS!!!!
Well I don't remember it well but you are supposed to have a high intelligence which allows to to beat the game without killing the trancendent one or whatever his name was which results in a cool ending.
MichalN, isn't that what that knife thing is used for, to threaten to kill yourself?

Maybe, but I could threaten him without any knife. Something like "I will unmake myself if I believe hard enough".

Status : Online | Well, now i really have to play Planescape again. I found out after i played that there were many more dialogue options available with maxed out intelligence and wisdom...as well as something to do with riddles in one of the tombs...but i had no idea a good ending is ONLY available with those stats...i feel like i missed 10% of a game I loved. I just didn't know <sniff> ...i'm so used to role-playing games in which characters need strength, dexterity and constitution in generous amounts.
Just more evidence as to how special this game really is.

Status : Online | I wouldn't call Planescape like Divine Divinity, but I loved both games..and both have similar isometric points of view. I just got Summoner as well, started it but wasn't too impressed with the beginning (I hate when crates and barrels can't be opened...games like Divine Divinity, Morrowind, and Might & Magic VI have spoiled me).
What Planescape and Divinity share are immersive story telling that makes you feel...
Divine Divinity really made me happy. I liked how the quests involved helping people and making a difference in the world.
Planescape Torment made me really ponder life..it's a bit sad at times, kind of like a good movie which tugs on the heartstrings. It's a very meaningful game. My memories of it are actually much like a movie memory...it's the characters and story that stayed with me.
