The fact that there isn't a dedicated thread for this monumental game is beyond me.

Let's hop back in time a bit and see what people thought about this game in 1999:

PC Gamer

With so many different ways to get through the game, it's likely that many players will go back through just to see the alternate solutions and discover some of the secrets they may have missed. When it comes right down to it, this game is a masterpiece of roleplaying—the dialogue is some of the most well-written of any RPG, the environments are varied and downright enthralling, the spell effects are mindblowing, and the story contains some of the most inventive, unique characters players will ever have in a party. Whether or not you're a hardcore fan of RPGs, this Torment is a must-have.

PC World

I have never before seen an RPG so deep, so entertaining, and so damn good.

Gamespot

It's clearly the best traditional computer role-playing game of the year and is bound to be an all-time favorite for many of its inevitable fans. That's because it's a great-looking game that's lengthy but never boring, and it begs to be played through more than once, just as its unique hero and his story promise not to be forgotten.

ActionTrip

There is not even one aspect of it deserving disapproval, and it is with extreme partiality that I claim that it is one of the best RPG games ever made.

IGN

It's got enough depth to keep you entertained for a VERY long time..., and perhaps most importantly, it's a hell of a lot different than anything else that's ever been released.

This game in my humble opinion tells the best story ever told in the medium.It's pure interactive literature with deep rpg elements and an damn amazing setting.If there is a remaster i beg to see,it's this one....

What can change the nature of man?

Never played but always hear good things about this title, Is it cheap?

 

[Theodoricos]

One of the best games of all time, no question. I played it for the first time only recently and I have to say that with the sole exception of the combat, it absolutely stands the test of time.

You should link the mod guide in the OP, without which it's practically impossible to play the game on a modern PC, unfortunately.

I couldn't get the widescreen/high res mod to work right the last time I tried, so shamefully I have still never really gotten into this.

I'll try again with the stuff in the link above, I think. I don't think I knew about the Ghostdog UI mod last time.

There are constant old school RPG sales on gog.com but even without a sale it's only $10
