OK, yes, it's not Planescape: Torment. What is (other than the obvious)? However, it's the closest in tone, feel, ability to provoke deep thought, story depth, and so on than anything else I've seen, and I loved it. People who don't like reading or don't like a ton of reading in their games will probably not like this game (that doesn't mean that everyone who doesn't like it doesn't like to read, of course). Personally, I love a ton of text in my games--when it's well written--and this game delivers. I also like oddball philosophy, tangled plot threads, new and strange places and people, and loads of creativity on display everywhere, and all that's in play here, too. My only two complaints are fairly minor, given how much I enjoyed the game overall. First, the combat. I *hate* the combat. I used to really love turn-based combat, but I guess maybe I've grown impatient these days. It's just...so...slow. However, for me, it wasn't a big deal, thankfully--because I vastly prefer talking my way out of problems in games than fighting through them, so I encountered combat very rarely (only the couple of times that it can't be avoided, I think). Still, those fights I did have to engage in were painfully slow. Second, I felt like there was a lot more story that wanted to be included. There were plot threads that felt like they needed more fleshing out, side quests that were intriguing but felt oddly perfunctory when resolved, that sort of thing. However, there's a ton of content in the game, so it's not surprising that not all of it would be equally fleshed out. Still, I would have loved even more content, even more twists and turns and links between different elements. There were also a few bugs here and there, but I don't think that's unusual when there's so much game, and none of them were game-breaking (at least for me). I suspect many have been addressed in the latest updates, too (I haven't yet played following the big content update, but I plan to soon!).
