Not worth the money – Planescape: Torment Review

I bought this game based on reviews that said the story telling was good and it really made you think about choices you had to make in the game. So far the only choice I have been pondering is why I spent so much money on this game. I really wanted to like this game but, after several hours of exploring the game I am just annoyed at all the conversations that you have to click through just to find out that nine out of ten characters in the game have nothing useful to say. I know nothing more about the story line of the game compared to when I started. The mechanics are clunky, and the Pvm seems nearly pointless for the amount of xp you gain for it. It is a lot of wandering around and a lot of "clicking" through useless conversations, and either fighting or running away from people who are attacking you for seemingly no reason. There is a fine line between exploring in a game versus aimlessly wandering. In this game I felt like I was doing more aimlessly wandering than exploring. For ten dollars I was expecting a lot more story line in the first few hours of the game and some thought provoking choices instead of wandering around repeatedly asking people for a person and a journal that no one seems to have any idea of where either one is. If I choose to continue in this game I will need to consult a guide. Not my idea of a good game. It should also be noted that the game takes up a hefty piece of memory as well.
