They were all great but Planescape Torment was my favourite of the lot.

Such a well-written game.

My favorite too. Such a good game, characterful and intriguing, and with awesome music too. Planescape is the best D&D setting.

About the only thing that hasn't aged well are the character portraits; I wish they had been hand-drawn instead of these weird late 90s low-res 3D renders. Everything else is superb.

I wonder if Nordom is still patiently waiting for the Nameless One to return...

After almost 20 years, the original Torment is still unparalleled in many ways. It redefined what it means to tell a truly great story in a video game.
Speaking of which, there's an "enhanced edition" of P:T now, that's also available on mobile devices.
Its novelization is gathering dust on my e-reader.
