Buyer Beware - Game Breaking Bugs That Beamdog Has Chosen Not To Fix
Note that this is specifically for the console version. Buyer beware. This version of Planescape: Torment has bugs that make the game unplayable. While playing, the text will start to become screwed up. About 2 hours in I noticed some NPCs were missing characters in their names. Weird, but I can live with it.

Note that this is specifically for the console version. Buyer beware. This version of Planescape: Torment has bugs that make the game unplayable. While playing, the text will start to become screwed up. About 2 hours in I noticed some NPCs were missing characters in their names. Weird, but I can live with it. Then I noticed the time indicator missing characters. Then I picked up a dagger and it said it does "1 - " damage. How much damage? Who knows! Once it affected gameplay I said screw it and will just have to play it on Steam. (Thankfully, Amazon will let you return opened games if something is wrong, which is certainly is). If you look on the Beamdog forums, there's a ton of people complaining about this for years, and they have chosen to ignore it. This version of the game is already 4 years old, and they have not fixed these issues, which to me says they never intend to.
If you're asking "Why play this PC RPG on a console?" Well, I just really prefer to play on consoles, and while I know you can connect controllers to PCs, Planescape: Torment for PC does not have controller support.
