Planescape: Torment

Planescape: Torment delivers the most philosophically rich narrative in gaming history, asking "What can change the nature of a man?" with unparalleled depth. Black Isle Studios' 1999 CRPG features over 800,000 words of dialogue, 30% more than the average RPG of its era, making its writing unmatched. Though its combat is mediocre, it outperforms #5 Elden Ring in story complexity. A masterpiece of choice and consequence.
