I never got the opportunity to play Torment, unfortunately. Is its plot really that good? You make it sound as if its story is the best thing since Jesus, which only makes me want the game even more.

It is. It totally is. Play it. The story is great enough to make you think several times, and it is absolutely amazing. I convinced a friend to play it, and he is also amazed by the story, depth, and generally well written dialouges. you miss something if you don't play it.

If I could afford a copy, I'd get it ASAP. Unfortunately, here in America gas prices are so goddamn high it's damn near impossible for the lower class citizens to have enough money to buy things for entertainment.

@Fat Dragon - IMO the plot isn't that good, but MO isn't shared by most Codexers. Besides, the writing is great.

Well, Black Isle is dead, so you could as well Sail the Seven Seas to get it, if you know what I mean.

a decent JRPG I've played (though not finished) was Shin Megami Tensei: Nocturne. The story was interesting, and VERY strange.
