GOG is NOT going away

[A Black Falcon]

Well, when you start throwing around highly subjective terms like "Best RPG Ever", you should expect some people to disagree.

But it's not just us saying it. Torment is widely considered to be the best PC RPG ever. If you've never heard anyone else saying it, then you people spend very little time on any websites relating to PC gaming, pretty much. Ever since its release in 1999 it has been given very high praise, and would be on almost any best PC games list, and at or near the top of most any best PC RPGs list.

So no, it's not just a few people saying that it's the best RPG ever. It's a lot of people, and members of the press too. Its strongest competition in most 'best PC RPG ever' lists is Baldur's Gate II, but I think Torment is the one more likely to come out on top, and rightly so; BGII is amazing, and my #2, but Torment is better, and more unique.

I mean, there's no other RPG I know of where the conversation aspect of the game is such a huge focus... don't play Torment expecting the hardest battles or the most combat, because the game is story first.

Oh yeah, and I highly recommend playing a character with high Intelligence or Wisdom stats. This is an RPG, and your stats matter -- you can't choose some dialog options if you're not smart or wise enough, and that has a big (negative) impact on the game.

Oh, and people who don't like reading text won't like Torment. There are ~100,000 lines (not words, lines) of text in the game. :)

Make sure you read this before you play:

I would highly recommend against 5b for your first time playing, because it's best to play it unmodded at first, but yes, the fix pack should be considered pretty much mandatory. Widescreen mods would be for people who want that. The 5b mods, though, change the gameplay experience. Don't do that your first time.
