Planescape: Torment/YMMV: Difference between revisions

* [[Cult Classic]]: Essentially doomed to this, given that about seven months after this game came out, [[Diablo|a sequel to a much simpler and more popular game came out]].

** It didn't help that combat, ''Diablo II's'' bread and butter, tended to feel like an afterthought in this game.

** Several of the spell animations as well, specifically the Rune of Torment, or descriptions of what happens when you cast the spell, like Abyssal Fury.

* [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]: Morte and hookers. And female zombies. And Annah. Well, just... Morte.

{{quote| '''Morte:''' "Women are the reason I became a monk. And, uh, the reason I switched back."}}

** The ''entire scene'' where Morte first equips Ingress' Teeth. You have to see it to believe it (this requires some game tweaking).

{{quote| '''Vrischika:''' It's also known as the Cheater's Blade. Merely holding it aloft will win you the game.<br />

'''Nameless One:''' Win me the...what do you mean?<br />

** ''You'' can cross it yourself in [[Video Game Cruelty Potential|multiple ways]], though particularly, {{spoiler|[[And I Must Scream|shoving Morte or Annah into the Pillar of Skulls]]}}.

*** Unless you {{spoiler|pull Morte back out afterwards.}} It's still pretty twisted, but not a Moral Event Horizon--especially since you suffer for it.

* [[Player Punch]]: Hoo boy, yes. In particular, trying to play one of the evil paths is akin to facing down an Olympic boxer with lead weights tied onto your extremities. If the player is not a [[Complete Monster]], of course.

** If the Nameless One joins the faction of the Sensates, he gains access to their private sensorium. Within is a sensory stone entitled 'Longing'. In it are Deionarra's experiences, days before her death. And as the Nameless One, you experience both sides of the conversation (it being with the past incarnation Deionarra loved), and come to *know* its horror, especially as a good character. It is not so much a [[Player Punch]] as the Lady's Shadow of Player Punches. In the same private sensorium, you find {{spoiler|a trap from the Paranoid Incarnation}} and {{spoiler|the experience of being tortured by Ravel Puzzlewell with some interactivity}}. 'Longing' manages to be the worst of the three, ''by far''.
