Question 1

True or false: The only way to gain experience in the game is by defeating enemies in combat.

Accepted Answer

False. Most XP comes from completing quests, solving dialogue puzzles, and reading lore—combat is often optional and less rewarding.

Question 2

True or false: Planescape: Torment was originally developed using the same engine as Baldur's Gate.

Accepted Answer

True. It uses the Infinity Engine, the same as Baldur's Gate and Icewind Dale, but heavily modified for dialogue and planar environments.

Question 3

True or false: The Nameless One can permanently die if he loses all his hit points in the Mortuary.

Accepted Answer

False. The Nameless One always resurrects; dying in the Mortuary just restarts the game. Permanent death only occurs via a specific endgame choice.

Question 4

True or false: The character Dak'kon is a githzerai who carries a magical sword that grows stronger with his conviction.

Accepted Answer

True. Dak'kon's zerth blade levels up based on his loyalty and the Nameless One's wisdom score, making it a unique scaling weapon.

Question 5

True or false: You can recruit a succubus named Fall-from-Grace as a party member, but she cannot heal you.

Accepted Answer

False. Fall-from-Grace is a lawful neutral succubus who heals the party with her spells; she refuses to engage in combat.

Question 6

True or false: The main antagonist, the Transcendent One, is actually the Nameless One's long-lost brother.

Accepted Answer

False. The Transcendent One is the personification of the Nameless One's mortality, cast off to achieve immortality—a part of him, not a sibling.

Question 7

True or false: The game's ending changes based on how many times you have died throughout the story.

Accepted Answer

True. The number of deaths affects the final encounter's dialogue and the nature of your soul's resolution, though the core ending remains.

Question 8

True or false: Morte, the floating skull, was originally a human cleric before being cursed.

Accepted Answer

True. Morte was once a living priest who lied so often that he was transformed into a skull as punishment by the gods.
