    So anyone have any further opinions on this game? There was a lot of to-do about the game before it came out, but haven't really heard much about it here since then.

    I was just wondering, cause I see it's 75% off right now on GoG, when usually it was only 50% off before (same with Pillars of Eternity and Tyranny, for instance). But the reviews are not very good, especially the early ones. Did they fix most of the bugs?

    When i played it i didn't run into any gamebreaking bugs, but it has to be said that i've not looked back at the game after finishing it once.
    The story / setting just wasn't able to capture my attention in the way the original planescape did.

    The bugs have been fixed. I don't think I've encountered any, even minor ones.

    If you haven't, you can look at my review. I didn't speak of it very kindly, but it's an enjoyable game and worth buying at a discount.

    Thanks, hadn't seen your review before. I let the discount pass this time, I think I'll wait until the price drops a bit further than the € 11 that it was last weekend.

    So many other games still to play...

    Yeah, 11 EUR is still a bit pricy imho.

    This is on sale on GOG right now for less than $9. Worth it?

    @Keneth - I read your review. You still stand by that?

    I haven't had a chance to replay the game since writing the review a few years ago, but I don't think my opinion would change much. It's an entertaining game, certainly, and it shines on occasion, but it falls a bit flat overall and doesn't have as much replay value as I hoped.

    That said, $8 is an okayish price, I guess. Though, if you don't have it yet, you might wanna consider Tyranny instead. It's the same price on GOG at the moment (standard edition).
