Baldur's Gate Planescape: Torment — Original Incarnation. Also, MM, MoP and EED

[Lilura]

Part I of my retrospective for the original and authoritative incarnation of PS:T has been posted.

I also posted a write-up for Magic Missile (how much can one say about one first circle spell?), in which I also showcase MoP and EED, too.

Here is MM + EED in action (30 missiles):



And here is MoP in action (20 missiles):



Explanations are in post.

30-Apr-2018: Another write-up:

Top 10 Best Infinity Engine Weapons (Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, IWD2) + Holy Avenger Comparison (Carsomyr, Pale Justice, Cera Sumat)

Two PS:T weapons make the cut.

02-May-2018:

Top 10 Best Infinity Engine Axes (Baldur's Gate, BG2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, IWD2)

Top 10 Best Infinity Engine Longblades (Long Swords, Katanas, Scimitars, Bastard Swords) (Baldur's Gate, BG2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, IWD2)

Top 10 Best Infinity Engine Two-Handed Swords Greatswords (Baldur's Gate, BG2, Planescape: Torment, Icewind Dale, IWD2)

***

To moderators: Didn't really want to put this in PS:T mega-thread because it's not EE and covers MM generally. Btw, didn't get any Google hits on EED on the 'Dex.

Be thankful you can even read it. I'll be changing domains and putting up a paywall soon.

I liked the write up of the IE games spells. There's some details in there I didn't know, especially about the usefulness of summons.

But paywall? Come on Lilura..

Man, Fall-From-Grace AI is so retarded in the original. Did they fix it in the EE?

She's obsessed with having a lot of traffic. Probably an autism thing.

Anyway, Lilura, your dislike for PST, even if masked by "somewhat" true points it's fully transparent.
DND is not about combat. DND is just a framework to roleplay a role... this could include combat and it has rules for it, and much else.

Anyway it may be true that PST is a game made for "men" as Roguey said, so you are forgiven.

DND is not about combat.

It's about many things, including combat. There can be no D&D without combat. There can be role-playing without combat, but not D&D.

 

[Roguey]

DND is not about combat. DND is just a framework to roleplay a role

While the latter is true, D&D is definitely very much about combat given the many rules and official modules that focus on it.

I mean it's right there in the title. Dungeons and Dragons. Of course, dungeons are full of traps to avoid and disarm and rooms to explore, there are also many hostile creatures in those dungeons.

Why don’t you ever talk in your videos, is it because ur a dude

 

[ga♥]

You can easily run a ultra-light combat campaign and, for example, focus on exploring. Is it fun? I don't know and I don't care. The point is in roleplaying anyway and Lilura fails at it.

I am not sitting before my PC to watch, I am sitting before my PC to play a game. It's called game-play and it's what makes games games.

I would love to hear Lilura speak. I don't care if her accent is thick or nonexistent, I'm interested in hearing which one it is.

 

[Kyl Von Kull]

Of course she isn't going to like PS:T. She said herself that she skips the dialogue in RPGs to get to the combat. Obviously this is not her kind of game.

For example, I love that saying the wrong thing can lock you out of content. It add some weight to the dialogue tree rather than making it little more than a menu to click through in order to access quests. But she sees this as a bad design decision.

I didn't get that critique tbh, looks just like someone trying to powergaming and getting frustrated it has to reload to get the +3 instead of the +2. And also the writing style that should be confined to "gypsies and beggars" (????)

By the way I just noticed the tags for this thread and literally laughed out loud. Did she do those or did a mod?

Never forget what you wrote here, misogynist:

Care to explain to Lilura? Heh?

 

[deama]

At least she's having fun with life, especially lately...

 

[Ninjerk]

Roguey is interested. Danger Will Robinson!!!

Well it was. Not that there's anything wrong with that. Any given work can't be all things to everyone (at least not without becoming incredibly bland).
