The Gentleman Gamer: Let's Play Planescape Torment - Part One

[emoguys11]

God, the full install. The hardest thing I had to do on my computer.

[clackclickbang]

@emoguys11 Brings back so many happy memories...

[N44433]

Just got this from gog.com a couple of months ago. Have to say it is a very different RPG. I like the fact that it is not just about grinding.

[clackclickbang]

@N44433 Indeed not. This game is purely driven by story and choice.

[eggmansizzle]

This will be the first Gentleman let's play I will be watching. Huzzah, A game I love and am interested in watching!

[clackclickbang]

@eggmansizzle Glad to hear it!

[huud007]

Haha too cool. During a conversation about old RPG video games just a few days ago, my cousin recommended this game.  I had never heard about it before, knew nothing about it. The Gentleman delivers! Will be keeping up with this Let's Play with great interest.

[clackclickbang]

@huud007 Wonderful! New videos should be up soon.

[Onionkid99]

Oh man, what a glorious trip down memory lane. (Ironic, I know. A game about an amnesiac)

This game should be played (or watched!) by everyone even vaguely interested in RPGs.

[clackclickbang]

@Onionkid99 I'm glad you're anticipating goodness from this Let's Play! Please do keep watching :o)

[DirtyBriefcase]

Oh HELLS YEA! *starts dancing around pumping his fists*

[DirtyBriefcase]

@DirtyBriefcase Oh Fuck. I can't watch this because I plan on playing it soon. God damnit.

[clackclickbang]

@DirtyBriefcase Haha!!

[clackclickbang]

@DirtyBriefcase Happy?

[dcfoley]

I think you have the stuff to be a very successful voice actor! I was very impressed!

[clackclickbang]

@dcfoley Alas, I would not know how to get into the industry!

[dcfoley]

@clackclickbang Its 80% passion and 20% research. There are books, and lots of internet resources. I got into acting, with just the desire to do so, and the knowledge comes out of that. Now I have had the privilege to share a scene with Ricky Gervais, so anything is possible.

[clackclickbang]

@dcfoley Oh that does sound quite splendid. Well you never know.. One day I could be voicing a villain in a cartoon.

[woodwwad]

Was that grigor early on you or the game, I wasn't 100% sure either way. That's a jack for you that you cannot play a Oni in this game. I don't think that making characters different in stats in video games really matters, it is not like it is a tt game.

[clackclickbang]

@woodwwad I shouted "Grigor" because a random clueless berk went for a swim in the Styx. He reminded me of your erstwhile companion.

The stats in this game only really come into effect because your class is malleable. Your character can't remember his past so depending on how you play the game you can change class, alignment and so on. Having high wisdom and intelligence allows for greater dialogue and a wider breadth of memories.

[woodwwad]

@clackclickbang thought that was your voice but wasn't 100%

[Belphebor]

This game is ....touching. I'm glad to see this video

[clackclickbang]

@Belphebor Touching, eh? I'm glad you're looking forward to it!

[masterofflowers]

"The water cuts the ROCK!" I am glad you decided to do this one. When I suggested it and you said, " You woudln't be able to do it justice" , I knew it was rubbish. You, of course, did fabulous and I don't use fabulous very often good sir.

[clackclickbang]

@masterofflowers Oh pish and fie. I doubted I could handle a game as dialogue heavy as this one, but I think it should go well.

[TemplarsCrusade01]

Do the voices! ;) I enjoyed planescape, was it the lady of pain that ran the world? Can't remember so long a go!

[clackclickbang]

@TemplarsCrusade01 The Lady of Pain is indeed the figure of power in Sigil, not that she ever speaks or expresses any view except "You're going to be flayed" or "You're going to be Mazed."

[veriax]

Oh my word... this is such an intimidating game to approach as an LP. Well for me, at least, since I have trouble reading aloud, and there's a lot of reading in this ;)

I'm sure will your knowledge of the setting, this will be well worth watching.

Best of luck!

[clackclickbang]

@veriax Fortunately I don't mind reading aloud one bit, so hopefully it should be a bit of fun!

[23penguins32]

2 Planescape games a week. Oh dear, oh my. This will be a bit strange seeing the way this setting is presented here as compared to the way I'm imagining it from your descriptions in the PF sessions. Very cool. Can't wait till you get out of the Mortuary. I don't abide zombies or slaves. But, if you see Slave 1 tell him 'hello'.

[clackclickbang]

@23penguins32 I think he's well and truly one of the dead now, alas. Did you see Grigor in the opening sequence? Or at least someone who fell in the River Styx...

[23penguins32]

@clackclickbang Yes. I thought that and then heard you say it. Poor guy. It is really who you throw your lot in with in life that ruins it all. Alas, we barely knew him before the flayings began...

[Vauldemare]

Just to let you know that you can buy this game for just 10$ at Good Old Games.com. A cheap way to play a great game.

[clackclickbang]

@Vauldemare Excellent recommendation! Everyone should play this.

[leon3129]

death has really grown his hair out

[clackclickbang]

@leon3129 He's turned into a goddamn hippie. 

[clackclickbang]

@jeans90s Audio, audio, bloody audio! What about my great voice acting? Oh wait. You couldn't hear it :p

[boltorange]

This is an ambitious one indeed! I'm excited about this one. Loved the Gregor reference there. When you were doing the skull voice, I thought it was the actual voice over at first. Excellent as usual.

[clackclickbang]

@boltorange I'm guessing that's only because the f'ing audio over it drowned my voice out sufficiently well!

[boltorange]

@clackclickbang So modest!

[mollytherealdeal]

This game is interesting. I look forward to future episodes.

[clackclickbang]

@mollytherealdeal Same here! And thanks for continuing to support this channel!

[killadroid2]

Your voice acting is incredible :) 

[clackclickbang]

@killadroid2 Well I wouldn't go that far, but thank you very very much for the compliment.

[micahhenry]

Favorite of the video game series so far!

[clackclickbang]

@micahhenry We've hardly started!

[TheHydra014]

A new game, a new experience.

[clackclickbang]

@TheHydra014 Not all experiences are good ones!

[TheHydra014]

@clackclickbang That's debatable.

[clackclickbang]

@TheHydra014 You sound like a Sensate!

[TheHydra014]

@clackclickbang Never thought of it like that.

[BattleBunny1979]

Entertaining! This'll be a good one.

[clackclickbang]

@BattleBunny1979 I very much hope so.

[ScreamingDoom]

Huzzah! Planescape: Torment is awesome.

Are you planning on getting the Modron?

[clackclickbang]

@ScreamingDoom Ah yes, Nordom. Mayhap.

[smilz58]

great a new LP. yes game audio a bit high

[clackclickbang]

@smilz58 Yes yes, I know. Now in the process of amending said audio for future videos!

[GAWproductions]

Entertaining, but the audio of the game is way too high to hear you.

[clackclickbang]

@GAWproductions I gave you a thumbs up just for the sake of it... I agree. I am going back to the modron workshop to make some amendments before we return.

[GAWproductions]

@clackclickbang Awesome. Can't wait for the next one.
