Trail of Torment

Nothing much to say for this week so here's a classic for dusting off: the trailer for Planescape Torment.

Original video located here. Accessed 4th December 2015

Its a compelling trailer but what is fascinating is that none of this footage actually appears in the game. Granted the game was still in development when this trailer came out but its interesting to see, with hindsight, how many ideas got scrapped. We do get to see Vhailor, Ignus, Nordom and the Lady of Pain as well as a glimpse (however fleeting) of The Nameless One. We also see Coaxmetal getting out and about.
Make no mistake: Planescape Torment is one of the best games I have ever played and one I will proudly champion. However looking at this trailer one can only wonder how much got left on the floor during the development phase
