Planescape: Torment and the biggest decision of my life.......

So this week I started Planescape: Torment and I only have a couple hours into it.  Saw the announcement that they are going to drop the Enhanced Edition On April 11th.  Now what?

If you have the money I would wait. All the other remasters have been good.

I have been thoroughly unimpressed with beamdog's "enhanced editions" I give the overwhelming majority of the credit to the original developers.  Essentially they are base games with some mods integrated.

Honestly it depends, are you enjoying it enough to keep playing right now? Because if so, then the EE won't do that much for you, other than make it a bit shinier. If you think it feels too old and dated looking, then maybe waiting would be better.

Those remasters are just a money grab, graphics barely any better. Just install high resolution patch and keep playing.

The biggest decision of your life? I hope this is a pun on the game's name, or such.

There's a ton of mods available that'll enhance the old Torment. It wouldn't surprise me if Bulldog would use part (if not all) of them to 'enhance' their edition along with adding crappy D&D 3.5 rules, which certainly would break the game completely.

Play it as it was when it was first released, forget this enhanced rubbish.

If you think this is the biggest decision of your life, you must be very sheltered. 

Just wait until you have to make your own decision on boxers vs briefs, that one will leave you devastated!

Interesting, that modding link looks fully functional compared to the other guide I read.  Now I'm intrigued that I might actually be able to mod it without messing anything up.  Also though, I got called into the field for work IRL and I haven't played any more, so regardless which direction I chose I haven't lost much progress.

Now I guess the big decision of my life is if I want to play it on the new PC or even buy the Enhanced Edition and play it on the Ipad!

Weirdly enough I agree with you, bought 2 enhanced editions and they felt worse then the originals. Went back expecting 'rose tinted glasses syndrom' but no, the originals felt better. Don't know what it is though, can't put my finger on it.
