I was about to jizz myself up until the point where I realized that this won't actually take place in the Planescape universe. I didn't actually expect to see the Nameless One and my favorite NPC's of all time again, but I'm just not sure it can be truly Torment if it doesn't take place in the Planescape universe. It's like validating the claim that Dragon's Age was the successor of Baldur's Gate. It just wasn't..
Planescape: Torment to me was almost a religious experience. No game, ever, has even come close to the truly enthralling experience that Torment was. By the end of the game I cared for my NPC's like they were my freaking family.. The music, the story, the attention to detail in everything, the puzzles. It was all totally PERFECT. When someone says that freaking Final Fantasy was a better RPG than Torment, I want to punch them in the face..
That being said, as much as I would give my left nut and kidney for a new Plansecape experience equal to the original, I just don't think it is possible. That game to me represents a miraculously lucky combination of brilliant developers and writers in their prime, along with mars aligned with venus and other once in a lifetime variables. This next "torment" simply won't be that great because besides not being set in the universe I associate so much with Torment, it can't be as good as Torment, because simply put Torment was a 10/10..
