What I really would have liked would have been a listing of the dialogs in the game, which brought about the project you are reading here. I decided not to literally pull the dialog trees from the game, since in a linear format like this it would have made for very awkward reading. Instead, I followed one path through the game, creating a written story from the source material. The quoted speech, along with much of the other material, is taken directly from the game and only lightly edited. It is possible to read the entire, continuous story. I have suppressed much of the combat in the game to concentrate on the story and the interaction with the characters, and some sections and characters have been entirely omitted. Even so, the entire document runs to over 150,000 words. It is also possible to skip to certain sections, re-reading selected portions of the story, hopefully allowing you a new chance to appreciate the writing, or perhaps discovering a dialog option you had not investigated before. If by chance you are reading this without first having played Planescape: Torment, and what you read is of any interest at all, get the game and play it; the actual game, including excellent voice-acting, music, art and game system, is a much richer experience. I would ask that if this document is distributed in any form that it be kept intact and unchanged, and that no fee be charged in association with such distribution. Thanks to the entire team at Black Isle which worked on Planescape: Torment, especially those responsible for the story and dialog. Rhys Hess [email protected] (formatting for Winword 97 / 2000 by: Maik Schärer / phagga [email protected]) Page 4 Compiled by Rhys Hess Planescape: Torment The Unofficial Novel THE MORTUARY A Dream: Lying on a slab, in a mortuary. A pillar covered with names. Racks of skulls. A symbol. A woman. A ghost. I awoke, on a slab, in what was obviously a mortuary. As I levered myself up, I caught movement from the corner of my eye. A floating skull. No, I realized, a floating, talking, skull as it spoke. "Hey, chief. You okay? You playing corpse or you putting the blinds on the Dusties? I thought you were a deader for sure." I was confused, and had trouble focusing on what the skull was saying. "Wh...? Who are you?" "Uh... who am *I?* How about *you* start? Who're you?" "I... don't know. I can't remember." I realized that I didn't remember anything about myself. "You can't remember your *name?* Heh. Well, NEXT time you spend a night in this berg, go easy on the bub. Name's Morte. I'm trapped in here, too." "Trapped?" "Yeah, since you haven't had time to get your legs yet, here's the chant: I've tried all the doors, and this room is locked tighter than a chastity belt." I needed to orient myself, and find out from the skull where I was. "We're locked in... where? What is this place?" "It's called the 'Mortuary'... it's a big black structure with all the architectural charm of a pregnant spider." Could I have died? Did that explain the lack of memories? "'The Mortuary?' What... am I dead?" "Not from where I'm standing. You got scars a-plenty, though... looks like some berk painted you with a knife. All the more reason to give this place the laugh before whoever carved you up comes back to finish the job." "Scars? How bad are they?" "Well... the carvings on your chest aren't TOO bad... but the ones on your back..." Morte paused. "Say, looks like you got a whole tattoo gallery on your back, chief. Spells out something..." I looked down at myself, and realized the truth about the scarring. They covered every visible bit of skin. There was a tattoo on my arm as well, the same one from my dream. I wondered what was on my back, though. "Tattoos on my back? What do they say?" "Heh! Looks like you come with directions..." Morte cleared his throat. "Let's see... it starts with... 'I know you feel like you've been drinking a few kegs of Styx wash, but you need to CENTER yourself. Among your possessions is a JOURNAL that'll shed some light on the dark of the matter. PHAROD can fill you in on the rest of the chant, if he's not in the dead-book already.' "Pharod...? Does it say anything else?" "Yeah, there's a bit more..." Morte paused. "Let's see... it goes on..." 'Don't lose the journal or we'll be up the Styx again. And whatever you do, DO NOT tell anyone WHO you are or WHAT happens to you, or they'll put you on a quick pilgrimage to the crematorium. Do what I tell you: READ the journal, then FIND Pharod.' Page 5 Compiled by Rhys Hess Planescape: Torment The Unofficial Novel "No wonder my back hurts; there's a damn novel written there. As for that journal I'm supposed to have with me... was there one with me while I was lying here?" "No... you were stripped to the skins when you arrived here. 'Sides, looks like you got enough of a journal penned on your body." The skull wasn't being that much help. "What about Pharod? Do you know him?" "Nobody I know... but then again, I don't know many people. Still, SOME berk's got to know where to find Pharod... uh, once we get out of here, that is." "How *do* we get out of here?" "Well, all the doors are locked, so we'll need the key. Chances are, one of the walking corpses in this room has it." "Walking corpses?" I queried. "Yeah, the Mortuary keepers use dead bodies as cheap labor. The corpses are dumb as stones, but they're harmless, and won't attack you unless you attack first." The thought of killing, for some reason, made me uneasy. "Is there some other way? I don't want to kill them just for a key." "What, you think it's going to hurt their feelings? They're DEAD. But if you want a bright side to this: if you kill them, at least they'll have a rest before their keepers raise them up to work again." "Well, all right... I'll take one of them down and get the key." I approached one of the zombies mindlessly moving about the room.

  • Apresentação Dos Conceitos Narrativos
    NARRATIVAS COMO CONTAR HISTÓRIAS 1. Histórias Tradicionais 2. Narrativas Transmídias 3. Narrativas Interativas EXEMPLO DE NARRATIVAS Exemplos: • A descrição de um processo químico; . Uma dissertação argumentativa; . Um relato jornalístico; . Uma análise histórica; . Um roteiro MODOS NARRATIVOS . Épico - narrado por meio da sequência de eventos (episódios) .Lírico - narrado por meio da linguagem verbal em harmonia com a música ou a musicalidade das palavras .Dramático - narrado por meio da representação/interpretação HISTÓRIAS TRADICIONAIS ... uma sequência enumerada de acontecimentos é uma "história" no sentido que as pessoas conhecem ... NARRATIVA DRAMATÚRGICA .Toda narrativa que envolva personagens e enredo; .Personagem: agente consciente que toma decisões e que reage ao mundo a sua volta; .Enredo: sequência temporal de eventos, com começo, meio e fim, que é influenciada pela agência dos personagens; • Em inglês: storytelling • Tão antiga quanto a própria humanidade ELEMENTOS DE UMA HISTÓRIA • Personagem • Trama/enredo • Estrutura • Tema • Ambientação/contexto • Estilo • Elementos de uma história: • ...etc. POÉTICA DE ARISTÓTELES Arte poética é expressão que remete, em primeiro lugar, para Aristóteles (384-322 a. C.) e para o seu conhecimento tratado sobre a poesia. A tendência para a imitação é instintiva no homem, desde a infância. Neste ponto distinguem-se os humanos de todos os outros seres vivos: por sua aptidão muito desenvolvida para a imitação. Os primeiros estudos sobre estruturas narrativas remontam ao grego Aristóteles, que em sua obra Poética descreveu as características do bom drama (segundo ele e o pensamento grego da época; clássico). A parte mais importante é a da organização dos fatos, pois a tragédia é imitação, não de homens, mas de ações, da vida, da felicidade e da infelicidade, sendo o fim que se pretende alcançar o resultado de uma certa maneira de agir, e não de uma forma de ser.

  • Planescape: Torment Guide
    Presents an Unofficial Guide to: Planescape: Torment By Samuel Brown Baker, II Brought to you by: Introduction This is not a complete walkthrough of Planescape: Torment. Short of playing the game several times as different classes, exhaustively going through every dialog path with every possible set of stats, spending months of time to do so, there’s no way to do that. This is how I played through the game, step by step. I won't even say it is the best way. I sometimes missed and forgot things and had to come back to them. So do what you want to do, play how you want to play. It's your game. The conversation paths that I took playing the game are presented here as a narrative and will not necessarily match the choices on screen or the responses word for word and frequently differ in tense. They are also truncated and condensed where I could do so without spoiling the flow of the tale. However in every case where a conversational choice is made I included key phrases so that someone reading along could easily tell which path I followed. There are conversations that took place that I did not include because they offered no new information or experience, or were short and without branches. Planescape is the most amazing computer role-playing game I've ever had the pleasure of playing. In many respects I feel it is the first CRPG that is really worthy of the name. I found myself thinking about how I felt about people and actions in the course of play, being drawn further into the game and the persona of my character the longer I played.

  • Planescape: Torment Walkthrough by Stefanos Koutsoukos
    Planescape: Torment Walkthrough by Stefanos Koutsoukos Greetings adventurers!!! We are well met once again, even though we may walk the shadows of Sigil this time around! ‘Tis a strange, yet most wonderful world that the good folks at Black Isle Studios have put together for us to enjoy. Personally, I consider Torment the BEST RPG I’ve ever experienced, far surpassing Baldur’s Gate and even the divine Fallout series. And why is that, I hear you ask? Simply, because Torment takes the best elements of Fallout and combines them with the very best of Baldur’s Gate!!!! But enough with the chatter! Some big,scarred and tattooed guy has just risen (Am I Dead?) in the strangest of places.... Character Generation and Gameplay Torment is quite different -in regard to the character generation system that is- than any other RPG that ever graced the PC. First of all, you don’t get to choose a class. You start out as a fighter, but if you wish, you can become a Mage or a Thief as the game progresses. You start out at Level 3 with 21 points to add to your basic attributes. CAUTION HERE! You probably have an idea of what kind of character you’ll want to be in the game (Once again, I did a paladin style fighter) so make sure that you raise the relevant ability/abilities now. Strength is quite important for fighters, Dexterity is also important to a fighter but benefits the Thief most of all, high intelligence is a must if you intend on practicing The Art, but also gives you more conversation options and allows you to outsmart people on a regular basis (and in this game it will help you gain memories faster, meaning that your skills will improve faster under the right conditions).

    Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition Manual Table of Contents Welcome from Chris Avellone I: Introduction II: Character Generation III: The Interface IV: Gameplay V: Life and Death in Planescape VI: The Planes VII: Walkthrough VIII: Manual Credits Welcome from Chris Avellone Welcome to Sigil, the City of Doors... ...and maybe for some of you, like me - welcome back! It's been almost twenty years since the first edition of Planescape: Torment™ was released. It was an uncertain time, and I was afraid it would be poorly-received and the last title I'd ever work on. To my surprise, it gathered a great deal of attention and support from the RPG community, some fans of CRPGs, others who were fans of the Wizards of the Coast's campaign setting, and often, players who were a blend of both. If not familiar with it already, you're in for a treat. Planescape™ is Wizards' fascinating outlook on the Dungeons & Dragons multiverse. Inhabitants wage war, not for territory, but for belief... for what you believe creates reality. The "cant" (the language, slang of Planescape) can be a surprise to newcomers, but you'll pick it up fast. And you'll find friends, companions, and allies across the planes willing to join you on your journey as the Nameless One... and to discover why you cannot die. I never thought I'd have the chance to revisit Sigil, but when Beamdog laid out their plans for an Enhanced Edition and the chance to polish and re-release the original for another generation of gamers, I couldn't say no (and embarrassingly enough, would also allow me to fix countless text errors that had made it into the original - let's hear it for editors, shall we? They are often overlooked in our industry, even in RPGs.).

It was turned into a novel by Rhyss Hess, and typeset by Lucian Wischik. (There is a separate novel called just “Torment”, based on the plot and characters of the computer game, and written by Ray and Valerie Vallesse).

  • Games with Words: Textual Representation in the Wake of Graphical Realism in Videogames
    Games with Words: Textual Representation in the Wake of Graphical Realism in Videogames by Michael Hancock A thesis presented to the University of Waterloo in fulfillment of the thesis requirement for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English Waterloo, Ontario, Canada, 2015 ©Michael Hancock 2015 Author’s Declaration I hereby declare that I am the sole author of this thesis. This is a true copy of the thesis, including any required final revisions, as accepted by my examiners. I understand that my thesis may be made electronically available to the public. ii Abstract Much of the videogame industry is based around a model of technological progress, whereby developers, individual videogames, and videogame platforms are lauded as superior based on their engagement with the latest, cutting edge forms of technology. As a direct consequence of this focus, sophisticated graphic-based representations are often employed as a yardstick for technological superiority, as it is a form of advancement that can be discerned by the naked eye. The focus on graphics has a number of consequences: it presents past videogames as inferior realizations that pale before more modern approaches; it favors image-based representation over other representational forms such as text; it enters videogames into a broader, ongoing debate in Western culture regarding mimesis and representations of reality that pit image and text against each other. An alternative to the graphic-dominated history of videogames is a variantological approach, in which marginalized and past forms of representation are not seen as dead ends and failures, but as variants that offer alternative perspectives.
