I didn't know the same person was behind both Planescape: Tormentand Fallout 2, some of my favorite games of all time. Torment I actually played only recently (had only played Baldur's Gate 1&2 before) and absolutely loved it. So it's not even just nostalgia.

Yeah I re-played Torment recently on the iPad. It holds up really well. It’s just a very well done game all around.
