Planescape Torment -21- Creature who hates all living things

Transcended one" and dialog with him.
Sorry about many REUPOLADS that clip.
Use "pause" to read. xD....like...huh...I am suppose to read that.

--IT IS MY FORTRESS. IT IS MY HOME.
--"And what a home it is, too. Mortared from my regrets, with nothing but the shades of those we've murdered filling its halls,abandoned relics of the past languishing beneath dust, and the life-draining energies of the Negative Material Plane to feast the eyes on. There are words for places like that — they're called prisons."
--EVERY WORD BETRAYS YOUR IGNORANCE, BROKEN ONE. THE FORTRESS IS SILENT. ALL THAT COMES HERE DIES BEFORE INTRUDING INTO MY PRESENCE. AND THE SHADOWS ARE QUIET
CREATURES.
--"I think you have to remain here, along with the shadows and the ghosts, because that's what you've become. I don't think
you sustain this place at all. I think it sustains you."
--I REMAIN HERE BY CHOICE.
"Really? So when you said you can't journey beyond this Fortress for long, you were lying? And how is it possible that a Fortress built from MY regrets needs YOU to sustain it?"
--I WILL SEE YOU DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS FOR YOUR INSOLENCE, BROKEN ONE. YOU ARE AN INTRUDER WITHIN THESE HALLS, AND I SHALL SEE TO IT YOU NEVER RETURN.
--"I may be immortal, but Ravel told me the ritual was flawed: Whenever I die, I lose a fraction of my mind. In time, after many deaths, I shall lose the ability to even think for myself."
--IT IS OF NO MATTER. YOU CANNOT DIE. YOUR MIND MAY BE LOST, BUT YOUR FLESH WILL LIVE ON. THAT IS ALL THAT IS NEEDED.
" 'Needed?' Why?"
--WE SHARE A LINK, YOU AND I, HOWEVER SMALL. I DO NOT WISH YOU DESTROYED, ONLY FAR FROM ME.
"Consider this: you say we are linked. So when I suffer, you
must suffer as well. Perhaps you are trapped here because you suffer, but differently than I do.
--"THE WEAK SUFFER. I ENDURE.
"Is it possible that as I die the death of the mind with each of my deaths, you die the death of the body? As I lose spirit,you lose substance. That's why you find it harder and harder to leave this Fortress and travel beyond this plane. This Fortress is
not only your prison, it's going to become your tomb."
--IMPOSSIBLE.---
"Is it? You said we were linked. Surely, you've felt your body wane over the past century — you even carry the branchings of Ravels' frame over yourself, and you detest her — but you need the frame over your spectral form to prevent yourself from decaying faster."
--EVEN IF THERE WERE TRUTH IN YOUR WORDS, THERE IS NOTHING TO BE DONE. I WOULD SOONER DIE THE DEATH OF THE BODY HERE IN THIS FORTRESS THAN SUFFER EXISTENCE WITH YOU.
"So if I were to die, that link would be broken..."
--YOU CANNOT DIE.
"Well, if I cannot die, then you can't exist. You're my mortality."
--PERHAPS ONCE. NO LONGER. I HAVE CHANGED. I HAVE TRANSCENDED AND BECOME SOMETHING GREATER.
* * *
"So you used me to find him? You wanted me to kill him, didn't you, so his knowledge would die — then you tried to kill me, so I would forget where to find you."
--I SEE TIME'S BLADE HAS NOT BLED YOUR MIND OF ALL REASON. MY PURPOSE WAS ALWAYS SUCH: TO MAKE YOU FORGET.
"But why? Why do—"
--BECAUSE I NEVER AGAIN WISH TO SUFFER YOUR PRESENCE,BROKEN ONE. YOU ARE AN IRRITATION, A REMINDER OF WHAT LIFE ONCE WAS, AND I DETEST SUCH REMINDERS. I WISH TO BE LEFT IN PEACE IN MY FORTRESS. AS YOU HAVE FORGOTTEN ME, I WISH TO FORGET YOU. FOREVER. YOU LIE. YOU HAVE ALWAYS FORGOTTEN. AND I HAVE ALWAYS REMEMBERED. IT WAS ALWAYS SUCH.
" 'Always' doesn't mean what it once did. I have died, time and again, and my memories have returned to me."
--YOUR DECEPTIONS WILL NOT SHIELD YOU HERE, BROKEN ONE.
"It is the truth. Killing me won't stop me — because killing me doesn't make me forget anymore. I'll know you always, I'll remember everything you've done, how to reach here, and eventually, how to destroy you."
--THEN I SHALL IMPRISON YOU, NAMELESS ONE. IF YOU WILL NOT FORGET, THEN I SHALL NOT ALLOW YOU TO BE FREE.
**************************
THEN THIS IS MY ANSWER, AND YOU ARE THE PROOF.NOTHING CAN CHANGE THE NATURE OF A MAN.
"If there is anything I have learned in my travels across the Planes, it is that many things may change the nature of a man.Whether regret, or love, or revenge or fear — whatever you believe can change the nature of a man,can."

Only 21 videos? Is this a bare-bones speed run or is it just a really short game?

[Crezber]

Play the game I don't have even 21 videos besides there is no point making gameplay It would be failure it self

[MekaGabe]

I know I'm going to be made fun of, but games like this are actually getting me to start reading books like Les Miserables and The Tale of Two Cities now. RPGS with lots of dialogue are like Like Hooked on Phonics for me. I'm retarded, but it works.

I'm going to play this game again for a second time.

[tahapamuk]

Planescape and Baldur's Gate! These are sure the milestones of the frp world. After playing these two I couldn't take any taste from any other game. No offence but my favorite character is Minsc and Boo from BG II :D Go for the eyes boooo go for the eyesss :D

[Dabidapp]

Planescape Torment forever.

[spiritlevel8]

why have you called him the 'creature who hates all living things'?

[Grigeral]

@Foaroan Indeed. People think this is a fault of Blizzard or the Warcraft world. Truth is, the warcraft world has a fantasic history. Blizzard are also great at using that history.

The issue is in the repetitive nature of the MMO.

There is one exception however. I played through the Death Knight start area about 2-3 time and thoroughly enjoyed it each time.

[Foaroan]

@Grigeral

Oh, i agree. I never read the text in WOW either. You should probably just take WOW for what it is: an enjoyable hack 'n slash game. If that's not your thing, that's fine. Unlike PS:T (and the Baldur's Gate series) there's no 'depth' to WOW. To me, it's never been more than Diablo with prettier graphics (though Diablo has better gameplay, imo).

[Grigeral]

@Foaroan From what I remember in wow, 95% if the text in the game is useless and solely aims to provide a small amount of background that, come the next patch, will be utterly disregarded. There is not real incentive to read it because it's mostly boring as hell.

Warcraft 1, 2 & 3 are great. The books I enjoyed. WoW is a grindfest. The literature is just a side project and halfassed.

Torment however, well... If you want to find out who you are, you need it. So the literature has 'reason'.

[Foaroan]

@Mirkoyanque IIRC, you need a minimum of 19 Wisdom to get the best ending (where you get to resurrect your companions). Mine is always 25 here. If your wisdom is low, you can equip tattoos to raise it.

[Foaroan]

@CharlettMoon

I'm sorry if i gave the impression i despise WOW. I don't. It's a quite enjoyable hack 'n slash game. And yes, there's a lot of writing in WOW. However, unlike PS:T there's hardly any dialogue in WOW and the interaction with NPC's is minimal. NPC's will usually give you a quest to kill an x amount of mob y. Often, they will deliver an amusing little speech. But that's it. No moral choices, no interaction apart from handing in the quest and receiving your reward.

[Mirkoyanque]

@Foaroan I tried to use my brain there, but my wisdom's character was too low, lol :(

[CharlettMoon]

@Foaroan The irony of this statement is that I'm pretty sure with all of the quests and dialogue and NPCs talking to each other, WoW probably has about as much writing as Planescape Torment (more typos though, I know, it's terrible that I know this).

Only problem is that no one reads the stuff when the shiny Exclamation Point! can tell you where the writing told you to go.

[The88LA]

Yes, i'm curious about the scene with Ignus as well. how did you manage it?
