I believe this game's EE didn't get OCs inserted.

>>5923281
My own personal ranking would be

Original with Unfinished Business, Fixpack, and tweak pack mods>EE>Vanilla.

IIRC, most of what EE did was just slap in those mods into the game and call it a day anyway.

>>5923483
is that a metaphorical "put those mods in the game" or is beamdog literally using those mods in ee?

>>5923686
It's been a while, but I'm like 99% sure that all beamdog did was install the aforementioned trio of mods, added in a few more UI and graphical changes, and called it a day.

>>5923697
sounds like beamdog

>>5923281
EE is good

>>5923281

No. You should play Fallout (the first one) and then stop.

>>5924069

>>5923281
It's a shit game either way.

>>5923281
Read the novel instead, since the "gameplay" is pointless and poor.

>>5924069
>>5924160
>>5924175
Tough crowd.

>>5924175
>Read the novel instead
Kek. Op, you're better off reading The Book of the New Sun in that case.

>>5923281
Play the original with the handful of "mandatory" mods installed, there's a modpack that includes all that stuff somewhere. Be wary that the mod that adds subtitles to every cutscene can and will break at least two cutscenes and softlock the game. One of these cutscenes is mandatory, so it's best to just not install it.

>>5923281
It's up to you.
Anyway, Beamdog had Avellone help them retouch some shit in PST's EE. Not to mention the inclusion of lots of QoL updates that I appreciate, such as zooming in and out.
If you get EE, there's one mod that you can install, which IIRC is the unfinished business mod. They didn't include it because they asked Avellone if it should be included but he said that "They were cut for a reason", so they didn't include it.

At the very least, if you get EE, there's no OC and you get High-Res support out of the box for convenience.

>>5923281
I liked how the original was more zoomed in. But Enhanced Edition literally lets you turn off all the enhancements, so it's fine. And there's really nothing wrong with the enhancements if you want to use them.

yay another fucking planescape thread, how fucking original. *takes a huge shit in your mouth*

>stop discussing games.

>>5925584
What would you like to discuss?

Have anyone played the PS4 version?
Is it improved or has more content or something? Is it good?
Idk if I should play the PS4 version or the steam one
>Inb4 none, original
Yeah, and you might be right

>>5925869
I'd recommend playing it on PC, so you can add the unfinished business mod if you want to.

>>5925869
I'd go PC for the mods, the restoration/fix mods out there are good stuff.
If anything get the gog version and patch it up. I've been doing that for years now, never had any issue on any system.

>>5925882
>>5925920
The series is like the good Fallout games, right?
Wouldn't it be super uncomfortable to play it on a ps4???
I ask because I don't know anything about the game
I also forgot to ask, which games from the series should I play or avoid? I know that PT is a must but I didn't pay attention to the other 4 games

>>5925930
Fallout 1 and 2 are turn based isometric rpgs with a fairly open world and a variety of ways to tackle quests.
Planescape is a bit more linear than that, but most imporantly uses the "real time with pause" system for combat. Some people hate that, while I think it reminds of some strategy games.

>>5925930
i didn't even know it was on ps4

>>5926102
Yeah, they released all Baldur's Gate games in ps4 a few weeks ago. That is why I ask how uncomfortable it must be
I thought this game is supposed to be played with mouse and maybe a keyboard...
Will they make able to move your character instead of clicking where you want him to go or something?

>>5925584
That's every /vr/ thread in a nutshell mr shitposter.

>>5927091
I don’t know what it works like on a controller, but I’d advise you to play it on PC.

>>5927183
based

>>5927091
If you see the advertisement/trailer for the Switch (which has a laughable PST clip)
https://www.invidio.us/watch?v=LxtSG-ttTbE
You will see that the player directly controls the movement of a character while the other party members follow you.
I assume that there is a dedicated button for pausing, and switching between which character you want to control.

>PST for the Switch
The absolute state of Beandong

>>5924915
Nice buzzword, PS:T is still garbage. It has dogshit writing and the combat is garbage, the only good thing is the music.
BG2 blows it out of the water.

>>5931005
>planescape writing bad
>bg2 writing good
not a zoomer, just an idiot

>>5931005
>contrarian opinions
I'd ask you for a breakdown on what made it bad, but I'm pretty sure you'd trip over yourself in the attempt.
>>5930232
>combat on the Switch
Although it's not a bad thing to have in the Switch arsenal.

In this case the EE is good. Any questionable stuff it offers can be turned off, i.e. sprite outlines.

And mods are now updated to work with it fine.

duuhhh binge, cringe etc

Ok zoomer.

Contrarians are mentally ill.

I liked PS:T but you have to admit the gameplay IS super janky, albeit interesting.

The game lets you grow more powerful without combat, but there’s rarely any challenge involved with navigating a conversation. It’s not like the game asks you to reason out how an NPC is going to react. There’s no diplomacy, you just get clearly marked options if you have high Wis for example.

Wis in particular is basically the only stat you need, it always produces the ideal reward. You can sometimes fudge a similar outcome with the other mental stats but it’s never optimal.

So obviously you want to do anything but martial builds, but what’s maddening is that there’s semblances of fun ideas in there like the tattoos and underutilized spells. So you can indulge in these at the cost of making the game banal. And yet by far the most broken thing you can do is mass Con which makes you virtually invincible because you regenerate faster and faster with each point.

I guess I mainly just wish each build/stat could unlock memories and dialogue instead of having it be almost all Wis.

>>5923697
If that's the case why not play the EE?

>>5924391
Any idea what the reason was?

>>5932407
Yeah, get cancer.

>>5933370
I played the game with a high int fighter, you are just a dumbass.

>>5933798
Right, you can get through the game with any nonsensical jumble of stats that you want, my point obviously is that the game’s narrative is tailored toward one particular path.

>>5933442
Because it's easier to download the older version for free if you know where to look, and the mods again can be got for nothing.

>>5933484
stay mad.

>>5932403
nice

>>5931240
SNOY! lol onions!

>>5933445
IIRC the reason they were cut was primarily budget concerns and probably time constraints too.
Beamdog just accepted that since they were not included in the game, then they won't too because those cut content are not considered canon.

>>5923281
EE is basically a tweaked original version (and we should be thankful for that, no self inserts or minority rappresentations). Seriously give the novelization a shot. It's free and it's basically the game translated into a PDF

>>5933370
they put so many wisdom checks in the game to prevent it from becoming a dump stat (since TNO can't become a Cleric)

>>5937413
>beamdog cares about established canon
