Planescape: Torment [2CD]

PLANESCAPE: TORMENT [2CD]

In Planescape: Torment, you are known simply as the Nameless One. You awaken in a room full of dormant zombies, with no memories or information of the past, including how you got there or your name. It only takes a few questions with the first responsive person you meet to realize the very basics behind what's going on: you're dead -- or you were! Why and how you were able to come back is only the beginning of your quest.

Torment is a single-player, isometric RPG, the first game set in the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons universe of Planescape. The game is developed by Black Isle Studios, the same team behind the critically acclaimed Fallout series and the award winning Baldur's Gate. Coincidentally, Torment uses BioWare's Infinity Engine (the same used for Baldur's Gate), albeit with a view much closer to the character.

In the true tradition of many role-playing games, your character has attributes that can increase through experience: strength, constitution, dexterity, intelligence, charisma and wisdom. Armor class, hit points, encumbrances, inventory management, spell casting and alignment are but some of the other aspects of character development. The Nameless One can switch class by talking to characters within the game: priest, mage, thief and fighter. You must build experience in all classes in order to get the fullest benefit of the attributes of each.

Character development (aside from primary statistics) is done solely through your action in the game. You can't choose your alignment outright and must role-play your character in a manner to mold and develop him to your own wishes. There is also no choice of class or character portrait as the Nameless One is your protagonist from the beginning. He will, however, be accompanied by a wide assortment of demented, strange and unusual characters throughout his adventures.

Another feature is the immortality of your character. Having already died and become reanimated, only a few things can send him to "true death." As a matter of fact, background information and additional clues to your earlier existence can be gleaned by the simple process of dying as your resurrections can spark "new" memories such as knowledge of spells. There is no multi-player aspect to the game, but the Planescape setting promises a cast of colorful characters to join your party. But, will they be enough to help you unravel the mystery behind your character?

For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections in 'What You Get']

WHAT YOU GET:

This item is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns.

IMAGES:

All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc.

COMPATIBILITY:

Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors.

PLATFORM:

Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work.

64-Bit Windows OS Systems:
For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program.

Macintosh Systems:
For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions.

MEDIA FORMAT:

Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive.

RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE:

Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion.

Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help.

Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer.

SHIPPING:

We typically ship all items out within 1-2 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage.

International buyers please email/chat with us to determine if you are eligible for shipping of a specific product. If you are, then international buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges.
