Oh, and yeah "Planescape: Torment" puts every adventure game released after "Grim Fandango" to shame. But it was an AAA game and didn't sell well. From what I've read, some interesting stuff got cut by the suits at Interplay after "Baldur's Gate" became a success. Before that the Black Isle team had artistical freedom at its best. Don't know what happened, but it was enough that German game designer Guido Henkel (Realms Of Arkania trilogy)who signed up at Black Isle during the development of PS:T left the PC gaming industry forever. He's the guy on the packing.
