I am working on a Planescape Torment project and would like to bounce some ideas around for a video. I've scanned through here a bit.

- Is there anything that people generally do not get or understand about the story?

- are there any companions that really make the story or are necessary?

- is there lore that I need to consume outside the game for people to understand it better?

Sorry to be a bother, please just let me know if you have any insight into the game. Things like that.

Cheers!

I have made it to Curst and have obtained all the keys for the portal. I'm wondering if there are any missable quests out here? I don't want to miss out on any content before I am to move on to the next chapter.

Hello, I'm playing Planescape and I'm at the quest where I have to convince Kesai-Serris that she's Ravel's daughter. I've already done everything that's required, and I already know she's Kimasxi's half-sister... but she disappeared. I can't find her anywhere in the Brothel.

Should I turn my Lim-lim into stone? If I do can I get a new Lim-lim? And what can I do with the Stone Lim-lim?

So, I've made a number of posts on creating this campaign in the past, but I'm bringing a bunch of clueless primes to Sigil and running, amongst other things homebrewed, The Great Modron March and both parts of Dead Gods. As an incentive to my players to pick planetouched races for their characters, I offered a free feat (Scion of the Outer Planes) and minor magical item, without telling them what the feat and item were before selecting. Four of my five players took the bait, so I'm wanting to pick magical items that fit well for both their character's class and race.

The four that took the bait are an earth genasi monk (dwarven parentage), an aasimar fighter, an aasimar paladin, and an aasimar warlock. The fifth is a dragonborn rogue. Yeah, this party is not going to do hot outside combat or in terms of magical prowess.

One of the things to tie each character into the setting is that they have one parent they never knew, who will come up in play sometime. For the genasi, they assume their mother is a dao, but in actuality, I'm gonna have her be a dwarf like the father, who made a wish to a dao to be granted a child, and the dao agreed under the terms that she become its servant after the child is born and she is able to leave. So I want something that has both an earth elemental feel to it and works well for a level 1-3 monk to have as a gift their mother left behind with the planeswalker who helped her.

Said planeswalker will become the party's mentor among the planes, and is a horizon walker ranger, Candrian Rumorborne, a.k.a. the Adahn summoned by The Nameless One by saying his name was Adahn.

Any suggestions on minor magical items that fit for the monk or the three aasimar? Sadly, no one went tiefling.

Was wanting to print some planescape posters for my bedroom, but I cant for the life of me find good quality images.

Is this door accessible? holding tab shows it is a usable door. I used the Debug menu to explore the area because I've been here 100 times and i figured I might as well just clear the black fog and saw this door.

Ojo inside buried village seems to be talking to a man in the wall, He was bitten on his hand I'm assuming by the same man.

Does he have any quests tied to him? There is a really interesting premise here and if there is no quest linked to him I feel it was probably cut.

I checked the "wiki" and along with RPG Classics, there was no indication of any quests linked to him.

Okay. So Windows, bless its heart, released an update this week which broke the game.

And ChatGPT walked me through how to fix it.

And now I'm going to post this in case anyone else is running to this stupid problem.

The fix is fairly technical, but you can do it, I believe in you.

1. Download this tool:

Found here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/get-started/adk-install

1. Run the installer.

2. Sell your soul to Microsoft (again) (I.E.: Skip over the terms and conditions you were never going to read them anyway) and click accept.

3. There will be a big list of stuff. You only care about the first item - Something something compatibility something something something. Make sure it's checked, and uncheck everything else.

4. Click 'Ok' or 'Accept' or 'Install' or whatever I forget.

5. Windows -> Compatibility Administrator -

1. Installed Databases - GOG.com Planescape Torment:

1. File -> Uninstall

1. Run the game.

It should work now. And by work, I mean launch. I followed these steps and was met with success. My cursor is currently bugging out but that's my next thing.

Have fun.

I want to have a run as a fighter class, is it worth switching over to thief and mage for the exp just to switch back to fighter? will that ruin any progress I have made as a fighter? Would I just level up as normal?

I'm not sure how exp works for each class,

Blackrose asks you what alignment you choose. Choosing good, Blackrose gives you the task of killing Rotten William. And speaking with Krystall gives you a similar option.

Does killing Rotten William hurt a lawful run? I know it helps good alignment but I don't want it to hurt my Lawful alignment.

This feels like a pretty dumb question, but I'm basically wondering if there's anybody here who isn't a fan of RTWP combat, and still found the game to be enjoyable. I'm itching for a new CRPG adventure, and right now it's between this and WoTR. I've really only heard good things about this game, so I'm leaning towards playing it first.

I do still plan to try the game out myself rather than assuming I just won't like it regardless, just curious if anyone thinks the other aspects of the game would make up for that. Thanks!

Big fan of Infinity games, and have been putting this one off. Not on purpose, Ive been really wanting to play it forever, just havent gotten around to it till now.

I usually start with Paladins. Imo, theyre the perfect party leaders for these kinds of CRPG games, especially for first playthroughs. Theyre just an all-rounder class that can heal, use a bit of magic, tank, and have high charisma for dialog options. And nothing says "leader of a party in a fantasy game" like a charismatic knight in shining armor.

However, Ive heard Planescape is different, in that things like INT and WIS are just as important, if not moreso, than STR, DEX, etc. Because the dialog is based on more than just CHA and combat isnt a big part of the game.

I also like starting with Rogues. I like them in general, but its nice to be able to open chests and locks right off the bat to gain an edge on item collecting. And typically INT is a main stat of rogues.

But again, Planescape isnt BG or IWD. I know its different, but Im not exactly sure *how* its different aside from having more words than most novels do. The actual mechanics and whatnot, Im not sure what I want to gear my build towards.

So all that said, the title question. What class, skills, ability scores, builds, etc., would you guys recommend? Are there dialog or story beats that "you want to have at least 12 WIS" or "make sure you start with at least 14 INT when you start", or anything like that that I should be aware of? Ive been purposefully keeping myself away from too much of the content or story to avoid spoiling too much for myself. So please try to keep that in mind if you decide to reply to me 🙏

Thank you for any direction here. I appreciate it a ton!

I installed a bunch of mods to make the game more complete. but there is one mod (or maybe conflicting mods) that broke magic, Dak'kon does not have his Zerth magic and Ignus no longer uses his flame magic, Some spells are just right broken like Lightning Ball. Dak'kon now starts with Magic missile, shield and three strengths and one of witch is sperate. Please help identify this mod so I may remove it. What I have installed are

Book of Torment
A.I voices
PlanarItems
Power of Belief
Portrait Conversations
Bags of Torment
Banter Accelerator
Hidden Gameplay Options
PST UB Reloaded.

Any help will be very appreciated.

I understand you can join the dustmen with any alignment. However I'm curious if doing any of the quests for them will change you're alignment at all. I'm attempting to do a Lawful Good run and I don't want to tarnish any good I have accomplished.

It seems like the game actively does not want you to join the Dustmen as most of the options secondary and it feels like conversations with Emoric are trying to push you away from joining them. I understand that because TNO is essentially immortal he can never really reach or achieve "True Death" so joining them would be a total fabrication.

Would joining them be me lying?

looking for third printing cards and/or boxes from the blood wars ccg.

the boxes have 'III' on the back, next to the UPC tag.

the cards have 'III' on the lower right of the card front.

Is there any real explanation as to why TNO is blue on the cover but Grey in game? I attempted to Google it but really didn't get an answer.

I really enjoy the lore of all the companions and what they have to offer however, there’s one particular companion that stands out to me as in my opinion one of the better not the best, but one of the better companions to have is Ignus.

He has in my opinion one of the best spell sets that a companion can have. His normal attacks aren’t very good, but his spells are just absolutely overpowered.

Fall from grace, I considered to be the best companion to have because she also has crazy damage output

But if we’re looking at a companion, I like the least it has to be Nordom. I never found him to be very exciting. Or even good at all really. I found his backstory to be dull and boring.

I’m also not really a big fan of Morte he does have insane armour class and does get really strong in the late game. You definitely good to have on your side during a fight, but I also found him to be overbearing at times.

But this got me thinking who is your favourite companion who is your least favourite and why?

Growing up as a kid PST was one of the very few games I had on my PC. My dad had bought it at a yard sale, the 4 disc collection. I had known nothing about D&D and still to this day know very little.

However this game captured my heart with the story, and lived to be a legendary game in my opinion.

I see a lot of videos, reviews, and comments saying that the combat system was "not good" or "garbage" but to me it feels right. It flows with how the game feels itself, slow and progressive (meaning stats). I see people saying the combat is "forced" but to me it just felt right.

I genuinely enjoy the combat of PST and I feel like I may be the only one who does.

I’m playing tournament with the unfinished business mod and I’m having troubles trying to complete this one quest it’s the one where you have to find Sheryl’s father.

I spoke to Ulthera and got the candlestick and the empty purse. She says the portal is north west of the village and I can’t find it whatsoever. Looking on Google and other websites, someone said that the portal was near the bell tower, which I don’t see a bell tower in buried village.

Can somebody please help me find this portal?

Your "goodness" stat secretly goes down when a party member dies. I became chaotic evil, the epitomy of villainy because of this, but there's only like one post on the Beamdog forum (and one reddit post which links to the same forum post) talking about this on the entirety of the internet. A guy in the forum post with the "developer" tag says it's unintended behavior, but it's still in the game? Is this something specific to the enhanced edition? Is that why people don't talk about it?

Only 2.6 % of steam users have the achievement for becoming evil, so it can't be that common either? Or maybe I'm just ass at the combat and letting my party die lmao. I mean to be fair, only 53 % of all players ever made it out of the Mortuary with those same achievement stats -- 21.2 % got the bronze sphere, so it's not like that many people who own the game are playing the game to the point where this would matter anyway.

Also, will this matter for the roleplaying aspect of the game? In the sense that will people treat me differently? I don't really care what happens gameplay-wise, where I've seen some things have alignment requirements.

According to the dev commenting on that forum post, the stats affected are:

Lady, +1 Good, -1 Law, -1 Murder, +1

So idk if any of these will also mess things up. Probably just going to reset them to 0 using console.

I havent played blood wars since 1996
Found my old cards today, all 505 of the first edition base set.

I cant remember how to build a deck
Can anyone put together 2 decks for me from the base set so I can reconstruct them and reintroduce this game to my gaming club?
