Planescape: Torment, still the best story in RPGs

Published 2023-09-26
Planescape is still merely a cult classic and needs more recognition. Most newer videos you find about it are like multiple hours long slogs which is a trend on YT that I utterly despise, so I wanted to give a quick concise rant about why it's unique.

If a zoomer who is only a few months older than this ancient ass CRPG liked it that much, there is probably something really special about that game. It's not really underrated, people sing its praises everywhere but it's certainly underplayed and not well known except for equally ancient neckbeards. The game deserves more than that.

Oh and for what it's worth I love Baldur's Gate 3. The comparison I give in the vid is not entirely fair I admit, I am being a bit reductive about Lae'zel, but I do stand by it. Just don't take it the wrong way. I'm still a bit salty Larian made a sequel for BG and not this.

Anyways, play Planescape. Power through the first hour and you'll see what I mean. Just do it.

Damn I forgot to include footage of the mark of torment...

    Maybe Larian should remake Planescape
