The Nameless One is an immortal amnesiac, living many lives, doing deeds both terrible and great, changing the lives of those around him, often for the worst.
Waking up on a mortuary slab, the mystery of his past propels the Nameless One through the Multiverse — one of the most bizarre settings of any RPG — where he deals with gods, mazes both mechanical and magical, and zealot factions.
To give you a taste, one of those is the Dustmen, a faction that believes life is a fleeting precursor to the ultimate existence: death. The ambition of Planescape: Torment would have been for naught were it not for the superb writing that accompanied it.
Chris Avellone and his team penned a tale saturated with nuance and memorable characters that, even many years on, stands the test of time and has yet to be outdone.
And all the while you wrestle with philosophical conundrums and questions of identity. If that all sounds a bit grisly and esoteric to you then, fret not, as the Nameless One is also accompanied by a floating, talking skull who is an unrepentant flirt. If you missed this gem in , make sure to dive into the remaster. We went behind-the-scenes with Planescape: Torment Enhanced Edition to trouble ourselves with its philosophical conundrums all over again.
Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines was riddled with bugs at launch, to the point of being nearly unplayable so much so one community member conducted an endless quest to fix it with Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines mods but you could still find yourself becoming besotted with this bloodsucker.
You have just become a vampire. It has large, inventive quests aplenty: a visit to the site of a vampire-run snuff movie set; an investigation into a haunted hotel that features no combat but plenty of scares to make even a vampire whimper; a sneaky infiltration mission in a huge museum. These are also laden with multiple routes that offer many opportunities to exploit your vampiric abilities, like mind control and shapeshifting. The setting of modern America is one unfamiliar to RPGs, and developer Troika takes full advantage of it, with little touches like vampires making deals with blood banks and infiltrating the Hollywood glitterati.
The question now is will we ever get a Vampire: The Masquerade — Bloodlines 2? And, within them, quests! So many bloody quests.
Hundreds of hours of saving villages, delving into mines, fighting mad wizards, slaughtering Gnolls, and even a trip to the Planes — explored in more detail in Planescape: Torment — and a deadly adventure into the Underdark. Elevating these many quests is exceptional writing and dialogue from the legendary Chris Avellone. Arrogant, powerful, deformed, and with a hint of tragedy to him, Irenicus has all the hallmarks of a classic villain.
Even though he is not present throughout most of the game, his influence seeps into everything, which is as great a testament to his manufacture as any. The exploration and pseudo-science of Star Trek, the cinematic action of Battlestar Galactica, and the fantastical elements of Star Wars or any pulpy science fiction of the early 20th century are all on show and artfully combined in this tense suicide mission to save the galaxy — one of the best endings in PC gaming, at least when it comes to the effort it takes to get there.
Humans are the new kids on the block, recently joining the galactic community, and must shake things up to get all the older races to acknowledge a growing threat to their existence. How do they do that? With an ass-kicking soldier, of course. Commander Shepard is a great character because they are your character.
Suspend your disbelief for the last ten minutes and you will find yourself on one hell of a sci-fi ride. With the help of many, many Skyrim mods and console commands, of course. The atmosphere is infectious, aided by perhaps the finest musical theme of any videogame. Pulled inexorably in, small distractions will drag you into epic dungeon crawls or quests that decide the fates of cities, as the ambient orchestra swells to an intoxicating crescendo. Its story of misfits and traitors feels like Star Wars by way of Planescape: Torment.
