Ahhhh..................

That is the sound of Matt *finally* beating Planescape: Torment, and what a fantastic ending it was, too!

I had a moment of panic when the game started crashing towards the end; I couldn't re-enter the mortuary. I tried and tried again, crash crash crash. I had this dread that I was again screwed, and would just have to settle for not beating it despite all my effort.

Fortunately, I browsed online and found somebody else with the same problem--the solution was to let Pox "make me a deader," essentially killing me so I woke up inside the mortuary. Cheap trick, I guess, but it let me bypass the bug and finish this kick-ass game.

I already recognized this game as superb, but finally being able to complete it has raised the bar even more. Definitely one of the best CRPGs out there, particularly in terms of character and story. It really felt like a true RPG, with lots of difficult choices and many roads I could have taken. I decided to kill the Deva, the Practical Incarnation, and the Paranoid Incarnation...Just didn't like the idea of letting them live. :) I also chose to fall in love with Annah and resurrect her at the end. Maybe selfish, I know, but hey--she was hawt. :P
