Got Planescape: Torment off GoG the other day and I've been playing it again to see if it's still as good as it was last year when I made this thread.
Answer: Yes, it is. One of the few games that I can play over and over and not get tired of, but this time I really do plan to beat it!
The only thing disappointing about Torment is that it mentions all these utterly bizarre, and totally interesting planes, doing such an amazing job of making you want to see what they're all about but only giving you just the faintest taste. Why no other developer has tackled the Planescape part of D&D, I'll never know. It's way more interesting than "generic medieval setting with elves and dwarves" that's 90% of Western fantasy RPGs.
