Looking forward to the release. Incidentally, I am not sure if you're up with it but InExile are also doing a follow-up to Planescape Torment, with several members of the old team on the staff already. Releasedate is some time in the foggy future though, I think 2014 from memory. If you haven't tried it yet, you might consider giving Legend of Grimrock a trial run (was on GoG iirc) - very old fashioned dungeon crawl in the DungeonMaster cast. In my opinion really only good for 2-3 trial runs and one play-through. Nothing new comes along once you've done it and figured out the puzzles, but it's definitely plenty of entertainment value for your buck. I'm oscillating between Fallen Enchantress, Fall from Heaven 2, and Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup (latest beta version) a.t.m. Gods, but I suck at genuine roguelikes! -P.
