>play
you aren't going to be doing much of that.

from what i've heard, moderately bad gameplay with really good words to read

Planescape: Torment, by the looks of it

Beamdog is a guilty of a number of different crimes. Here are the major ones.

1. The Enhanced Editions are essentially a collection of free mods that had existed for nearly twenty years. Beamdog gathered them all up, slapped "Enhanced Edition" on it and resold it as a new product. There's very very little in the Enhanced Editions that wasn't already out there, and most of it is stuff you don't want (like obnoxious character outlines).

2. The games didn't sell so well and the originals were still far outselling them, even twenty years after their release, so Beamdog had EVERY digital distributor stop selling the originals and ONLY sell the Enhanced Edition. If you want to buy a digital copy of the originals now, they're "bundled" into the Enhanced Edition. Now these scumbags can claim sales from people just wanting to buy the originals as their own.

3. The infamous 600+ bugs on launch. The game is still riddled with bugs (as even a perfunctory glance over their forums show) but the fact that it took nearly two years for them to get a game that had been working fine for 20 years to reach playability after launch is telling of their wild incompetence.

4. This is where we get to the ones that really piss people off. Beamdog couldn't just remaster the game, they had to fuck with the content too. New dialogue for existing NPCs like Jaheira, Viconia, Safana, Kivan, et cetera was written in to make the characters more progressive and leftist friendly. Beamdog shills will argue that "adding content isn't changing content XDDD" but it is when the new content changes the core personalities of the existing characters. This is in addition to adding a slew of their own LGBT (hitherto there were none in Baldur's Gate) NPCs, all flooded with OP attributes and magic items to encourage people to play them despite their cancer.

5. Siege of motherfucking Dragonspear.

sneed

A novel. Also, ignore which is a stale pasta and ironically does not apply to PST EE. Making changes to combat wheel UI and replacing it with actual interface alone is worth the price of admission.

Plan: Escape Torment

you're about to be pleb filtered

I remember seeing a list of ten or so recommended mods for PTEE, but I can only remember the one that restored cut content. What were the others?

you're in for the "game" which sprouted thousands of visual novel lovers. for that I hate it. but I love it as well, a very enjoyable story, dialogues... gameplay is like much much much worse baldur's gate

I quit before I got out of the starting area. I couldn't tell what the fuck anything was and got lost because the art is so fucking dated.

Fuck, has this been starring me in the face the whole time without realizing?

Actually it's Planet Escape: Tournament

Some good ol roleplaying son!

You're in for the game that makes you wonder why most game stories are so ass when they could be planescape level if writers were competent.

I've never actually played this game for more than an hour; it's just the first thing that comes to mind for me when I see the title.

>he couldn't figure out the paper puzzle on his own

one of the best gaming experience of all time. somewhat mediocre and generic on the gameplay part itself, but the writing, choices, plot and story are better than 99.99% of hollywood trash.
get the fuck out before you get the story spoiled.

absolutely based autism-user.

beamdog cocksucker $hill dev who has to suck dicks in dark alleys to pay his rent

I don't even think I got to the paper puzzle. I needed a key or some shit and ended up going the wrong way and got BTFO by some guards and lost 30 minutes of progress because "lul no save system" so I just uninstalled it.

A game that's pretty much an interactive novel, and quite good one at that.
You can safely ignore , that pasta's about the Baldur's Gate EE, not PT.

yeah, try it again in a day or 2. After you get used to it then you can actually figure stuff out.

>because "lul no save system"

fixed

I don't think that's a game for you lad

It's almost unplayable, especially to anybody who didn't play it wen it came out. The art is so shit everything melds together and you have to scan the screen with your pointer to see if anything lights up. I'll just take your word for it and assume it was a good game for the time.

shitty combat and lots of walking
but also good story and dialogue

holy shit get your vision checked

I didn't play the enhanced edition
