Runehamster: I passed up that game without a second thought after reading initial reviews.
I always get a headache when people say that. Never ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever ever or ever do that for a game thats even remotely complex because unless its an 8 hour FPS, the reviewers have very probably not played enough of it to see what the game is really like.
On the upside you can probably buy it cheap now and Mask Of The Betrayer is the only other game I've seen that gets near the same country of awesome as Planescape Torment. Its not in the country exactly but its holidaying on an island offshore
