    Ok, I'm not sure on what I should use the 2-3 $20 gift cirtificates to Best Buy I get every year on, so I made a list of games I'm considering. But, since I haven't played any of them, I want your advice. I'll probable only be able to get one though, so help me out here! :rolling:

    [​IMG] Assuming that you can still find a copy of it, definitely go for Planescape: Torment. That is one awesome game, very story-centric. There's a thread somewhere on here recently about PS:T's many virtues, if you haven't already read it. :)

    Definitley Torment. Haven't played it myself, but its supposed to be good. IWD2 is for hack'slashers and NWN needs a GIGANTIC comp to run it. POR2 just sucks. So, get PST. :)

    Torment is a very good game. But unlike the BG or IWD series, this is not a game that you can leave for a month and then come back to. I did that and I was completely lost. And I was so far into it, that I decided I would have to wait awhile before I started it again.

    For those of you that celebrate it, Merry Christmas.

    [​IMG] Torment is the way forward for you :D Now with the other vouchers, depends on what sort of game you're looking for, IWD2 is supposed to be good, and I quite like NWN so either of them are probably a good buy too.

    If you have 2 or 3 certificates you should be able to get Planescape for around $10, then you could also get Icewind Dale II.

    But if you only have time or money for one game I'd make it Planescape.

    [​IMG] It's not that bad if it gets stable and you get really into it.

    /me ducks quickly.

    And once you get used to the way it plays too. But please, heed my earlier advice, and definitely get PsT you know it makes sense :grin:
