This is the shoddiest piece of junk to call itself an RPG. The characters are so unrealistic and boring you just feel like pressing 1 regardless of the dialogue choice. It feels like it was written by a 5-year old. Shame, Bioware!
If you ask any RPG fan what's the best RPG ever made they will either say Planescape Torment or Baldur's Gate II with the Throne of Bhaal expansion. If you didn't get the chance to get it when it came out, be glad you got this chance! This amazing game provides the truest role-playing experience you can imagine in a computer game.! You awake in from a coffin, unable to recollect who you area. A floating skull comes up to you and explains that you've lost your memories... There is a lot of combat in the game, but it's not the focus of the game, but just a part of the role playing experience. If you die, you will just awake again, sometimes with new abilities. It's all a part of the story that unravels until you discover who you are and where you're going. In most RPGs, most of your stats are useless, or are just used solely for combat. Here your stats determine what you can do! With a high Strength, you can threaten people, with high Dexterity, you have faster reflexes, with higher Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma you have more dialogue choices, higher wisdom gives you experience faster and lets you "remember" your lost abilities, etc. Your party members and other people you meet seem like real persons. And they are very diverse, very creative and very memorable. The setting of Planescape is also amazing. Belief makes reality... believe in something or someone and it comes into existence. You also get to meet creatures from all worlds in different planes (or universes). Also, unlike many RPGs, you have freedom to play the game in any way that feels natural, and the game will update your alignment to match it. Honestly, if you've ever played an RPG that you enjoyed even a bit, you will want to get this game!
