This does not include a facelift of the gfx? Tried playing this a few months ago but it made my eyes bleed.

all you can do is change the resolution, you need the widescreen mod
http://www.gibberlings3.net/downloads/widescreen-v2.exe
+ a mod to rearrange your UI

i use the 1024x768 UI pack - without the ugly backgrounds
http://computergames.ro/ro/downloads/viewitem/id/12539/name/planescape-torment-1024x768-ui-pack-v06.html

but there's another UI pack for 1280x800, 1280x768, and 1280x1024 - with nicer backgrounds

looks rather good i think
note; when applying the mods, don't enable the easter one in the tweaks.. it turns the skull dude into an easter egg Smile
silly of them not to draw a distinct line between purely enhancing the game and breaking the fourth wall and doing silly stuff

For those of you who want to own the game, if you're in the US you can get it for $20 from
Gogamer.com for the next 48 hrs. Yes, i know everyone here knows how to GET games, but i know there are some of you who like to own the really good ones.

This is idiotic question because nature can't be changed. If you can then you wouldn't be man anymore.

Game is superb and requires high IQ from gamers. That's why it didn't sell well. Most people are mediocre morons or simply consolers.

I knew some people would think that so i'm sorry, but i also thought there may be some people who haven't played the game or may have lost their copy that would want to buy it. Again, sorry for building up your hopes only to dash them to the ground. You can stop cursing my mother now Smile.

I am currently in the process of playing this game.
I started it when it came out but never got very far (I think I was too young, this is definitely not a kid's game), so I have now started over.
I almost have no words to describe how brilliant it is so far (I have played quite far, though I don't know how long the game is).
The story is SO GOOD! You just WANT to continue all the time. Also, the combat seems quite well-balanced. You don't die too much and as the main character is immortal it doesn't always matter if he dies.
Also, the graphics are actually good (especially, of course, with the enhancements mentioned above). It is not 3d, but I wouldn't want it to be. The 2d graphics in this game are VERY VERY well made - pure art at times.
And the dialogues are funny, exciting, well-written.....

I could go on. Without a doubt the best RPG I have ever played (though, KOTOR was also very good).
Seriously, if you have not played this game (and if you are at least 15 years old and like to read - at times the game is like an interactive book) DO IT NOW!

I tried the game when it first came out, I was like 13yo at the time so I just played 20min and quit. Now, I love nice story above all (loved Mass Effect), but I hate RPG game like Dragon Age where you pass hours in the menu customizing equipment upgrade and spending upgrade point. It get even worse when you have a whole team to manage. If you pass more time in the menus than actual story/playtime, it's not for me, and this game looks like that.

Still, I keep hearing good things about it.

I also have difficulties with low graphics, while I can bear the game must really worth it. Anyone have a screenshot of what it looks like with every patch mentioned?
