WRPGs more advanced than JRPGs agree?

dissagree. WRPG's(that arent made by Bioware) need to start developing better stories and better characters otherwise JRPG's will always remain superior

Have you tried the Witcher, Planescape Torment, Neverwinter Nights 2, KoToR 2 or Deus Ex? They're all games not made by Bioware that in terms of characters and stories are more or less on the same level of Bioware's games. I'd argue that Witcher and Planescape have much better and interesting characters and stories than most Bioware games.

 

Did Planescape Torment age well? I really want to play it.

Depends:

As a game it still plays well and whilst there is a fair bit of reading instead of the animation of today, it still manages to hold interest. It's 2D but beautiful.

Technically, my copy is fairly old but I seem to have some problems with crashing during magic (running in XP). There are probably fixes on the net but I haven't looked as I've been occupied with loadsa other games recently. These problems may have been fixed on newer copies so I'd check. If they're fixed then I thoroughly reccommend it.
