PS:T? I have to disagree. It did have bad combat sequences, but it's dialogue and story, characters and setting were the points that elevate it far above many other RPGs of it's kind.

Eh, I still haven't played PS:T, does it's 640x480 resolution really sucks or should I play it?

Well yeah, Torment's 640*480 pretty horrible. It wouldn't bother me if the camera wasn't so close. I tried to replay it like a year ago, but the resolution annoyed the hell out of me so I didn't :S You should stilly try it because it really is pretty darn dope game despite the res & combat. I loved the ambience, the music was great and the story was cool. Plus it has a talking skull - what else can you ask for?

Is there some interactions between NPCs a la BG or is it shit like IWD?

I thought BG was pretty awful so I never played it more than 15 mins, and same with IWD, but I'd say yes, there is some interaction.

Cybernetic zombie ninja pirates.

you got me there

Ah, but the talking skull cracks jokes all the time (usually at your expense), and its special attack is insulting enemies! You can't beat that

I see PS:t more like an adventure game in the style of Quest of Glory.(adventure with rpg combat)

Pretty much. And yeah, you can still get that systems... I myself am a diehard Call of Cthulhu fan (Chaosium version).

There's always room for another person who likes a game because they had fun playing it and not because it did feature X better than game Y did.

What is Call of Cthulhu ? Isn't it the new berthesda action/horro game they are making with a wipping 4 to 5 years of development?

LlamaGod · Post by **LlamaGod** » Sat Feb 28, 2004 4:17 pm

It's based off a the PnP game, Call of Cthulhu.

And Bethesda isnt making it, they are distributing it, like they did with Pirates of the Carribean.

Sometimes, usually if it involves something with the story, yeah. If you ever want more info from them, you can just talk to them whenever.
