What is Torment?

"Planescape®: Torment™ is an Advanced Dungeons and Dragons® single player fantasy RPG, set it TSR's Planescape campaign setting.

Character creation is just the beginning - throughout the game your character adapts to fit your own personal gaming style. The Planescape universe is a setting you've never experienced before, filled with sharp-edged visuals, bizarre adversaries and strange magic.

Encounter inventory items with personalities. Manage an unpredictable party of the strangest allies to walk the faces of alternate planes.

You can regenerate, speak with the dead, and have magical immunities. You're a power to be reckoned with. Unfortunately, so is everyone else." - from the Torment FAQ

Planescape Encyclopedia Entry

Planescape: Torment was a computer RPG created by Black Isle Studios. It was released in 1999. It followed the story of a hideously scarred, amnesiac man called the Nameless One, whose greatest enemies were often products of his own forgotten lives. His weird and eclectic cast of allies include a tiefling thief, the ghost of a past lover, a floating, talking skull, a bodiless suit of armor, a rogue modron, a githzerai enslaved to his honor, a reformed succubus, and a pyromaniac wizard whose body is perpetually on fire. Over the course of the game, players can choose to direct the Nameless One through a variety of different career paths and alignments. The amount of intelligence, wisdom, or charisma they choose to give him dramatically affects the dialog choices.

The game had a rich, involving story with a lot of words in it, most of them written by Planescape designer Colin McComb, great voice talent, and innovative play. It won a lot of awards, but didn't sell a lot of copies. Many people blame the Nameless One's hideous mug on the cover, or all those damned words.

I don't think anyone who's played the game has ever said anything bad about it, though.
