In my opinion the story is rather deep for a CRPG and might actually be a good book to read. As for Torment: Tides of Numenera, I backed it during Kickstarter but it is currently sitting in my Steam backlog. Unfortunately I read the developers didn't quite hit the nail on the head in regards to why its predecessor was good. Indeed they didn't. Instead they came up with something that is considerably better. Your party memebers are very messed up, but dear god they sympathetic, and you grow to like them over time and see past their flaws. The one character that is nothing but likable is a child who is useless in combat, but god, she really really makes you want to protect her. And most importantly, it succeeds the most where Planescae Torment fails. Yeah the actual battle system is fucing terrible, but that's because you're not supposed to fight. Instead you're rewarded for being smart and charimsatic, and the real joy of combat is rolling to see if you succeed, which is followed by a really intense description of the results of your actions, which leads to a really awesome description of a battle that'd be near impossible to flim. If you like to read fantasy novels with really awesome battles, this is game that you're looking for! --- My quest to beat 40 games by March 1st 2018...it's just a mcguffin to get me to beat more games: https://pastebin.com/8i5EiCi1 <cite>XianMei posted [p:898861161] in Has anybod...
