((Sure, most of you have played this game. But I'm still LPing it for 3 reasons:
1. Some visitors or newbies might not have played it yet and want to see how it is.
2. I'm using a fix pack, tweak pack, and restoration mod all found here. Since these mods were only released earlier this month, I'm guessing most of you haven't played with them yet.
3. I haven't played past the Tomb of the Nameless One yet. So although I know the Hive like the back of my hand, the rest of the game will be uncharted waters. (Although I have read plot spoilers)
Intro
Update 1: Talking with a floating skull
Update 2: Killing zombies with medical supplies
Update 3: Hitting on the ladies (zombies)
Update 4: Talking to Dhall
Update 5: Going on our first fetch quest
Update 6: Mutilating our body in multiple ways
So, let's begin.
Planescape: Torment.
My character is a fighter-type who has good wisdom and OK intelligence, which will unlock some conversation options, but not all of them. The tweak pack adds some armor for fighters, so hopefully he won't be too gimped compared to mages.))
I must have been dead.
I woke up on a hard slab, the sharp ridges cutting into my back. Dried blood and guts were everywhere; judging from my scars, they must have been mine.
But how did I live through whatever, or whomever, gave me the scars?
And how is that skull floating towards me?
"Me?" The skull seemed indignant. "How about *you* start, scabbie? Who are you?"
"I asked you first, skull."
"Yeah, and I asked you second. What's your name?"
"You first, skull."
"Man, you're tighter than a wet rope. All right, all right... *I'll* be the nice guy here... me, I'm Morte. Morte Rictusgrin. Now what name is unfortunate enough to have you as its owner?"
"I don't know... I can't seem to remember anything."
"Don't know what Sensates are? Oh, are *you* in for a treat! They're this group of bashers who are all about experiencing all the planes have to offer, right, including... well, forget it for now. What about those scars?"
"Scars?"
"It's like some basher decided to paint you with a knife. You're scarred all over... even on your back, 'cept..." He paused. "Say, you got a whole tattoo gallery on your back, berk. Spells out something..."
"What does it say?"
"I know it feels like you've been drinking a few kegs of Styx wash, but you need to CENTER yourself. Among your possessions is a JOURNAL that'll shed some light on the dark of the matter. PHAROD can fill you in on the rest of the chant, if he's not in the dead-book already."
"Don't lose the journal or we'll be up the Styx again. And whatever you do, DO NOT tell anyone WHO you are or WHAT happens to you, or they'll put you on a quick pilgrimage to the crematorium. Do what I tell you: READ the journal, then FIND Pharod."
"No wonder my back hurts. Do you know someone named Pharod?"
"Nobody I know. Then again, I don't know many people. Still, some berk's got to know where to find this guy... once we get out of here, that is."
"Did I have a journal with me when I was lying here?"
"No... you were stripped to the skins when you arrived here. 'Sides, looks like you got enough of a journal written on your body.
"How do I get out of here?"
"From where I'm sitting, it's obvious you need to get out of here. Me, I can afford to wait. The only danger *I'm* in is dying of boredom. We could lend each other a hand."
"You don't have any hands. What could *you* do to help me?"
"Awright then... now, c'mon, let's give this place the laugh. The doors outta here are locked, so we'll need the key. Chances are, one of the walking corpses in the room has it."
"Walking corpses?"
"Yeah, the Mortuary keepers use dead bodies as cheap labor. The corpses are dumb as stones, but they're harmless, and won't attack you unless you attack first."
"So I should attack one of these corpses and loot it for the key?"
"Well, before you do that, arm yourself first. I think there's a scalpel on one of the shelves around here."
"All right, I'll look for one."
"One last thing: Those corpses are slow as molasses, but getting punched by one of them is like being kissed by a battering ram. If they start getting an edge on you, remember you can RUN, and they can't. Use it to keep some distance if you need to recover."
"All right. Thanks for the advice."
