I remember the first time encountering Deionarra in the halls; if you wander close enough to her, it triggers this music to play and I would just stop to listen and watch her lonely figure left suspended and waiting, as if time itself had abandoned her. I knew then that I was to become a part of a story that was both hauntingly beautiful and tragically sad.
touching Deionarra's sensory stone was one of my favorite moments in my gaming history. If only other games had half the amount of depth and drama of just that one moment! Love it!
"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. I’ve seen belief move cities, make men stave off death, and turn an evil hag's heart half-circle. This entire Fortress has been constructed from belief. Belief damned a woman, whose heart clung to the hope that another loved her when he did not."
Honestly, what other choice did he have? Using deionarra was the most expedient way to ensure that he would get help at the fortress of regrets. TNO probably would have been completely fucked if she did not rescue her fro the trap. If your gonna hate on him, at least consider his options, if he had any in the first place.
This is by far the most beautiful story in computer gaming. It feels like reading a book, but not just any book bu rather an amazing book at the level of The Lord of the Rings.
I Shall Wait for You in Death's Halls, My Love... One of the best games I played on the computer growing up. Ironically the game was given to me by my brother's dad as a birthday present. He got it at a swap meet and apologized to me because he couldn't buy me something more expensive. Little did he know 11 years later, I still have and love this game. I consider myself lucky to have been able to play such an amazing game like this. Too bad not many others know of it's beautiful storyline =(
"You! What is it that brings you here?! Have you come to see first-hand the misery you have wrought? Perhaps in death I still hold some shred of use for you...?" Her voice drops into a hiss. "...'my love.'" Awesome, the price doesn't always matter, more the gesture and the quality! This is one of my favourite ever stories.
This is not on the list of the best games I've ever played. Because this was not just a computer game. Those who never experienced will never understand.
+surobakianinpo yes, from this "journey", we learn a new interpretation regarding love, friendship, loyalty, duty and most important , redemption and forgiveness
+Michal Bukvai I would say "Love" ..... It is not limited to the Love of a lady, but in fact it is the love of Life, the original Immortal love the life that he lives so he wants to remain on the plane, and for that he regret the wrongs that he did.. The Nameless one who i play simply cherish the friends, allies and people who he met in his life, he loves them all and the experience of travelling with them , he also loves the encounter with Deionarra, and hence he did all he can to "change" his former nature of Evil into a Good person...I remember he even comment after one of the quest to help the old man and his wife from the Dustman "As long as i am here, i will change the rule of nature, the perception that no one will simply help someone without asking for rewards"
@@michalbukvai7548 Acquiring new qualias, I guess. Having five wits is good, but the day when progress will find a way to equip people with more of those, will be truly a great day. Because, the more wider and complicated our perception will get, the less human-like our mental processes will be.
With the very first note, a massive flood of grievance and regret washed through my whole body. Unbelievable. A mere game, which I have played so many years ago that I have no idea of what its plot was, is still staying in the deep corner of my heart waiting to be provoked again. I can't help but set out for Sigil once more.
@@viktorskarlatov8227 I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you... Montaron died, it was a very bloody affair, we had lobsters in avocado sauce afterwards.
Thanks for this theme from the best game ever. A game I have had to play again and again every couple years since its release, a game that never grows old or die, just like the Nameless.
This track, along with the following dialogue between the Nameless One and Dionarra (the first time you meet her, I mean) has to be one of the most emotional experiences I've ever felt in a video game to this date. It almost brought me to tears for real.
this song should have been the main theme...it describes the whole feeling of the game, the torment of the planes forever changed by a man who was so afraid of death he managed to cheat it,the regret of his deeds and the pain he brought on others...this piece is a pure art
"YOU!!! What is it that brings _you_ here?! Have you come to see firsthand the misery you've wrought? Perhaps, even in death, I still hold some shred of use for you... my LOVE."
Well, I've heard the novel is just not up to par with the writing in the actual game and a lot of it runs contrary to what happens in game as well. Personally, I'd rather not spoil what I know since Chris Avellone had nothing to do with the novelization.
Practical Incarnation, like Tywin Lannister, was a master chessmaster, manipulating everything and everybody to suit his own goal, to get into Fortress of Regrets and end his immortality. He's lawful neutral due to his complete lack of morality - everything he did, he did to get the job done. The ultimate utilitarian. Screwing over Deionarra was definetely one of his most callous actions, but nearly everything is possible in the game thanks to the careful groundwork laid down by Practical Incarnation. Would be easier, if next ones didn't spoil some of his work.
Poor poor girl... I remember the horror when I realized it was *I* who betrayed her and condemned her to that existence... It still saddens me to no end.
I remember the first time i played Planescape. When i came to Deionarra you could say that the weigth of how important music is finally came down on me. For the first time and the only time i felt totally immmersed into a virtual reality that had such a story to tell. I could almost immediately sense the important relationship the two shared. That scene alone is worth playing the entire game to see it come to fruition in the end.
It's the first time I notice that on the left end of the logo there is a crying and screaming woman's head. Seeing it and hearing the theme at the same time feels sad.
Best game ever. I played it so many times just to read the dialogs and understand the story line. Best scenario ever. You try to die in this game! So original. Thank you for uploading this song brings back memories. :)
You are correct about Morte. He's voiced by Rob Paulsen who voiced Yakko, as well as Pinky from Pinky and the Brain. The dude has an enormous repertoire!
Only second time. Dude, I have replayed it at least several and have started playing again. And even though I know it is a magical game and hold it in such a high regard, each time I am surprised by its beauty.
I played this game when it first came out, I dunno 10-15 years ago. I actually look back on it quite fondly, because the story and the music connect with me. I look at my life a lot and say, what CAN change the nature of a man? I can only half answer that question for myself. The game really hit home for me, so I'd say it's my favorite game of all time.
when morte tells a story of 5 deaths, deionarra's death was the saddest one of them all. they were death of courage for morte, death of belief for dak'kon, death of memory for the nameless one, death of the body for an archer (one of previous companions). deionarra's death was death of grief. man, can such love exist?
@@Rigby350 she loved the nameless one so much she let herself be manupilated by him. And he definitely did not love her. He needed her and discarded her önce he was done with her.
Probably the best game i have ever played and before anyone ask is not nostaliga or anything i played it around 8 months ago. Still wish it was steam , but at least i got the cd home.
+TheDarkCreed86 ah thats right thx. I could ofc but it on gog thx m8. damn this game is good . one of if not the best narrative ever. so underrated. thx for tip
LOL, I always thought Deionarra's voice sounded so much like Jennifer Hale and recently I found out because she voiced her. The things Internet can search up for you:D
Listening to this song, I want to cry. Its just that I'm to happy to cry. Planescape Torment was one of the best games I have ever played. And it was my introduction to the D&D based Biowares games. I'm a philosopher myself and that makes this game very appealing to me, especially because I recognise a lot of the pholosophies because I thought of the same thing. I bet I'm not the only one ;-)
it's wild that without context see a tattoo of some kind of snake monster reaching upward. then after playing the game all you can see is a crying woman.
i am playing through this game for the first time now, and its so fantastic i cant describe it. when you suddenly realise that you have to make thruthful answers based on yourself the player, not the namelessone. as more and more complex story unfolds. 5/5 easily. to bad nothing like this is ever going to be made in computer game history
The first time i heard this i was like "a this song is cool" ... a few years and 3 playthroughs later, i now get tear in my eyes when i hear this. The memories i have of this game, the characters, the world, the plot and plight of the main character. Those memories i will never forget for this game changed the nature of this man

life and death, things that we don't really confront on behalf of the wisdom and fear inside them, yet they all come to my mind when the sound waving in my ear.
the whole planescape setting, the whole cosmology, all of it, incl the unlimited high spire, the unending abyss, the infernal pits of the nine hells, the torment tattoo, and especially this song... all of that makes me feeling so small... makes life so senseless... it makes me want to be not here... i want be there...
I don't know what the dialogue with Deionnara looked like in the English version, but the Polish translation and dubbing used an extremely literary language full of symbolism. It was one of the best written and literary dialogues I have ever experienced in an RPG game.
You may listen to the sample in this video: ua-cam.com/video/oDr5zEZ8Ml4/v-deo.html Her voice acting in polish version was also excelent - quite a feat given the fact that in english version she is dubbed by Jenifer Hale.
The only competitors I can think of are The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 (especially 2). Nier: Automata also has brilliant storytelling, albeit slightly confusing
This is still by far the best storyline of any game i've ever played. The nostalgia i get listening to this. The first time when you wake up and talk to Deionarra, and not knowing what is going on. Then coming back when you know whats going on and seeing her. You feel sorry for her, and the nameless one, even though they are just a piece of code :( . Best story ever written imo
PS:T story is unbelievable, deep, touching and incredibly well told. I have played many good RPG's and JRPG's, none of them got even close to Planescape. I even dare to say that this game's story matches the best book's out there. (I have read many of those that are considered the best) "What can chance a nature of a man..."
This breaks me down and builds me up again. A song of this emotional magnitude coupled with an overwhelming amount of nostalgia... it gets to me every single time.
oh totally agree with you. one day this will be considered art , believe me. we just have to keep it alive!this game is exceptionally well written and its also incredibly philosophical.
I finished Planescape: Torment 2 days ago and I still feel sad that it ended, it's the best game that was ever created! It's a damn shame that Planescape didn't get a sequel.
For all those craving more Planescape Torment awesomeness, there is a game called Planescape Tides of Numenera, which is the "spiritual successor" to Planescape Torment. It is similar to Torment and references a certain character from Torment. I'd highly recommend the game to any Planescape Torment fan.
My favorite game and story of all time. In the beginning the was "jefferson airplane", who went on to become "jefferson starship", who later became "starship", which had "Mark morgan" as a member, and he went on to do this awesome soundtrack for this game.
As i mentioned in another PT vid...words cannot describe how much i love this game...i truly felt for the Nameless one..and yes...you do feel like it was made specially for you...i shall treasure the expirience of playing this game for ever...
What I truly love about Planescape is the depth of the game, the dialogue and focus on story. I just love how much you gain from being intelligent, wise and charismatic. You can play the game over and over and always find new stuff and develop the nameless one in a different way. I can't play Planescape anymore without maxing out charisma, wisdom and intelligence anymore because of the loss of story line and secret options you incur.
I just started playing this game, haven't done much but it's amazing so far. I especially loved this track when I was talking to Deionarra. Goosebumps.
Stupid Chris Avellone just had to go ahead and make stupid Planescape: Torment. Now everything I play (shit, everything I *experience*) has to compare to this.
Κωνσταντίνος Χαραλαμπόπουλος That bastard also made NWN2:MotB! Probably the only game I can compare to this game (even though the depths are less, it's more of a game for me)!
What can change the nature of a man? I think the answer is: Embrace. One cannot forcibly change himself or others. Change has to come freely and willingly. If you'd done something bad, you must be willing to face the consequences. One cannot run away from the inevitbale. Only through embrace and acceptance one can truly accept changes, be it negligible or world-shattering. Making decisions means standing up to the consequences, be it good or bad. One cannot change nature. Yet, change is nature.
The writers at Black Isle man, it was a perfect combination + the setting, Planescape and Forgotten Realms, led to these great games, and it also used the 2nd edition D&D rule set which was and is one of the best and most complex.
The one of the best songs that you can find in one of the best (role playing) games ever. 'nuff said. It simply matches Deionarra and all her agony, sadness... everything... perfectly. Mhm... seems like I'm going to pay her sensory stone a visit - likely one of the most touching moments in the game.
Just finished it with the EE version for the first time. There never has been a story like that in a game before, truly unique. I only can give my praise. I'm also glad that Obsidian now develops these kind of games, Tyranny was great as well while PoE is more your typical fantasy game. I just hope we will see more unique settings like this again.
Thx a lot for posting this! What memories. I still remember being really sad when I finished this game 9 years ago. Luckily I am going to borrow my brothers game next week, so guess where I will be next weekend: On a trek with Nameless listening to this awesome, beautiful music. And yes: Make a sequel pls, but use the same writer.
Regret... Regret can change the nature of man as it did change the nature of the first incarnation! What an amazing story Planescape was. Truly a masterpiece. It could have been easily a movie or a book. The game felt literally like reading a book (till the fights in Baator of course).
@SadakoSenpai many things can change the nature of a man. The love for someone, the feeling of vengence, even something small like feeling like something in life is missing. I believe the nature of man changes all the time. The big question is whether or not you have the fortitude to accept that change.
I remember the first time encountering Deionarra in the halls; if you wander close enough to her, it triggers this music to play and I would just stop to listen and watch her lonely figure left suspended and waiting, as if time itself had abandoned her. I knew then that I was to become a part of a story that was both hauntingly beautiful and tragically sad.
True.
touching Deionarra's sensory stone was one of my favorite moments in my gaming history. If only other games had half the amount of depth and drama of just that one moment! Love it!
I finished this game yesterday, finally had the English skills required to understand this masterpiece. Even after so many years is still worth it.

It has been 6 months since I played and completed this game for the first time and I still think about it daily
I don't know what the dialogue with Deionnara looked like in the English version, but the Polish translation and dubbing used an extremely literary language full of symbolism. It was one of the best written and literary dialogues I have ever experienced in an RPG game.
You may listen to the sample in this video: ua-cam.com/video/oDr5zEZ8Ml4/v-deo.html
Her voice acting in polish version was also excelent - quite a feat given the fact that in english version she is dubbed by Jenifer Hale.
@@Godunow100 It sounds very nice, but unfortunately I cannot distinguish literary English from colloquial English.
@@marcinjaraszek1786 its very far from colloquial :) polish version of her dialogue is quite faithful in style to the original.
For me, there is no better story than Planescape: Torment
Three Dog agreed.... no games these days have such a good story
The only competitors I can think of are The Last of Us and Red Dead Redemption 1 & 2 (especially 2). Nier: Automata also has brilliant storytelling, albeit slightly confusing
naah, those can't come even close
@@breeeegs there are many games with a better storyline than these
Mass Effect trilogy? Not counting the ending, I mean. Not as thought-provoking, but I find it very engaging.

Torment is the best game ever created and thier will never be one like Torment!!!!!!
Time is not your enemy, forever is. Imagine trapped in the hall forever because you loved someone so much and I am so glad that I ended her torment.
This is still by far the best storyline of any game i've ever played. The nostalgia i get listening to this. The first time when you wake up and talk to Deionarra, and not knowing what is going on. Then coming back when you know whats going on and seeing her. You feel sorry for her, and the nameless one, even though they are just a piece of code :( . Best story ever written imo
I only got this game yesterday and I cannot beleve I have never played this brilliant game the story and gameplay is flawless!
PS:T story is unbelievable, deep, touching and incredibly well told.
I have played many good RPG's and JRPG's, none of them got even close to Planescape.
I even dare to say that this game's story matches the best book's out there. (I have read many of those that are considered the best)
"What can chance a nature of a man..."
The game is still just as incredible now as it was on release. There will never be another studio like Black Isle, never.
This breaks me down and builds me up again. A song of this emotional magnitude coupled with an overwhelming amount of nostalgia... it gets to me every single time.
oh totally agree with you. one day this will be considered art , believe me. we just have to keep it alive!this game is exceptionally well written and its also incredibly philosophical.
I finished Planescape: Torment 2 days ago and I still feel sad that it ended, it's the best game that was ever created! It's a damn shame that Planescape didn't get a sequel.
There is some kind of Sequel, "Torment: Tides of Numenera" it is a spiritual successor. And still, i like to replive Planescape once in a while.
@@FaethorFerenzcy Yeah, but I wish there was a direct sequel to Planescape: Torment. Btw, is Tides of Numenera good?
@@emperorpalpatine6239 Well it is well written, but honestly i had adaption problems to some mechanics. So i more or less rushed trough.
I really envy you that you have finished it for the first time just recentlly ;-)
For all those craving more Planescape Torment awesomeness, there is a game called Planescape Tides of Numenera, which is the "spiritual successor" to Planescape Torment. It is similar to Torment and references a certain character from Torment. I'd highly recommend the game to any Planescape Torment fan.
eeeh I thought it was alright, but I doubt if it can even hold a candle to a game like planescape
This song touches my heart, it brings a feeling of despair and sadness about things that one *knows* that will never change
This tune made me so nostalgic. I reinstalled PST and im gonna play it for a second time!
my god...this brings out memories...almost started to cry
My favorite game and story of all time.
In the beginning the was "jefferson airplane", who went on to become "jefferson starship", who later became "starship", which had "Mark morgan" as a member, and he went on to do this awesome soundtrack for this game.
best game, when i finished it i m feeleeing empty till now... :( and on and on :(
I've bought the game in 1999 and finished it yesterday 😶🌫️
This theme is the best part of it. Still playing in my head.
As i mentioned in another PT vid...words cannot describe how much i love this game...i truly felt for the Nameless one..and yes...you do feel like it was made specially for you...i shall treasure the expirience of playing this game for ever...
Just played PS:T for this first time. This is easily my favourite song from the game, I wish it were longer.
What I truly love about Planescape is the depth of the game, the dialogue and focus on story. I just love how much you gain from being intelligent, wise and charismatic. You can play the game over and over and always find new stuff and develop the nameless one in a different way. I can't play Planescape anymore without maxing out charisma, wisdom and intelligence anymore because of the loss of story line and secret options you incur.
This brings back some memories. Depressing, yet beautiful and touching. Perfect.
There are no words that could describe my feelings while listening to this song
I just started playing this game, haven't done much but it's amazing so far. I especially loved this track when I was talking to Deionarra. Goosebumps.
Planescape and Baldur's Gate had a charm that will never again be encountered in any other games.
Best story ever told. As simple as that.
Stupid Chris Avellone just had to go ahead and make stupid Planescape: Torment.
Now everything I play (shit, everything I *experience*) has to compare to this.
Επιτέλους ένας Έλληνας με γούστο! Updated my journal
Κωνσταντίνος Χαραλαμπόπουλος That bastard also made NWN2:MotB! Probably the only game I can compare to this game (even though the depths are less, it's more of a game for me)!
@cam3lopard isn't ME2 the fan fave, only played the original though
Try Disco Elysium.

What can change the nature of a man? I think the answer is:
Embrace.
One cannot forcibly change himself or others. Change has to come freely and willingly. If you'd done something bad, you must be willing to face the consequences. One cannot run away from the inevitbale. Only through embrace and acceptance one can truly accept changes, be it negligible or world-shattering. Making decisions means standing up to the consequences, be it good or bad.
One cannot change nature. Yet, change is nature.
The writers at Black Isle man, it was a perfect combination + the setting, Planescape and Forgotten Realms, led to these great games, and it also used the 2nd edition D&D rule set which was and is one of the best and most complex.
i am not worthy enough.
best RPG ever made.
Absolutelly genius theme, one of a kind motif.
The one of the best songs that you can find in one of the best (role playing) games ever. 'nuff said.
It simply matches Deionarra and all her agony, sadness... everything... perfectly. Mhm... seems like I'm going to pay her sensory stone a visit - likely one of the most touching moments in the game.
Just finished it with the EE version for the first time. There never has been a story like that in a game before, truly unique. I only can give my praise. I'm also glad that Obsidian now develops these kind of games, Tyranny was great as well while PoE is more your typical fantasy game. I just hope we will see more unique settings like this again.
Thx a lot for posting this! What memories. I still remember being really sad when I finished this game 9 years ago. Luckily I am going to borrow my brothers game next week, so guess where I will be next weekend: On a trek with Nameless listening to this awesome, beautiful music.
And yes: Make a sequel pls, but use the same writer.
Regret... Regret can change the nature of man as it did change the nature of the first incarnation!
What an amazing story Planescape was. Truly a masterpiece. It could have been easily a movie or a book. The game felt literally like reading a book (till the fights in Baator of course).
@SadakoSenpai many things can change the nature of a man. The love for someone, the feeling of vengence, even something small like feeling like something in life is missing. I believe the nature of man changes all the time. The big question is whether or not you have the fortitude to accept that change.
