Now and then I play some Mount & Blade, good game.
I want to continue playing Baldur's gate 2 which I haven't completed yet, but I'll probably complete the first Baldur's gate game and its expansion first.
I've never played Planescape Torment, I've heard it's very good, about as good as Baldur's gate 2 (which is the best game I've ever played, I think).

Many consider it significantly better. It's a bit more story-oriented, with more vivid characters and a much more exotic setting.
Even more vivid characters, sounds good.
My monitor's native resolution is 1280x1024, 1024x768 looks good but 800x600 is the limit.
Do Planescape Torment have support for 1024x768 resolution and higher?
No, unfortunately. That's a big drawback: no res control. It's quite a bit older tech than BG2, and only barely advanced over BG1.
There are mods out that help with that though. Hell, you can play BG1 using BG2's engine if you want.
Torment remains to this day the pinnacle of quality writing for all of PC gaming. Personally, the gameplay of BG2 is better, but if you appreciate the written word then Torment is rather unique and special.
I should mention that despite the lower-quality engine, I think that visually, Torment is just worlds above all of the other Infinity engine games, BG2 included.
Oh, and thanks to your suggestion, I found this!

Works like a charm for BG2. Haven't tried PS:T yet.

Thanks for the help, with the resolution mod it even supports wide-screen 1680x1050 (Planescape Torment). Good for when I buy a new monitor in the future.
I also found this:
"This is a short video showing Planescape Torment played in 1680x1050 using Ghostdog's UI mod. This mod is used in conjunction with the widescreen mod to make all resolutions viable for the game.
The Widescreen mod works well in Planescape: Torment, but unfortunately when you change the resolution, almost all of the UI elements and game effects are shown in the top-left area since they were set for the original 640x480 game resolution.
What this mod does is center all of these elements and enhance the UI with original game art to fit nicely with any resolution. Additionally, bigger fonts are available for those with relatively small monitors."
Ghostdog's UI mod, apparently fixes it.

padawn, Planescape Torment looks awesome and I who never played it... yet.
I'm looking forward to it and I'm glad it can be bought in stores, finally it looks like they managed to solve the publishing rights problem.
Replaying Oblivion, but this time with the eleventy brazillion mods enabled for high-res textures, leveling fixes, lighting fixes, character / mesh reskinning, yadda yadda.
I wonder when Bethesda is going to show The Elderscrolls V. I remember they said that they had already started with it when Oblivion launched, and that was almost 4 years ago.
Shouldn't be long.

Still playing Dead Space... Man, does it actually get interesting or fun at all? It's just that I'm about up to the 4th chapter and it's been the same crap over and over. Walk into room, lights fail, creatures methodically spawn in script-like fashion, kill enemies, lights come back on. It's quite unoriginal, and it takes me back to the old Serious Sam days where you'd just walk into an area, sit in a corner and click your mouse every few seconds when the enemies spawn.
That, and it's constant back-and-forth 'quests'... "Isaac! Go get some thermite!". And "Isaac! Go put some fuel in the engine and turn it on!" Or"Isaac! This giant armored creature you're fighting about 20m away from me is really tough, let me just sit here all cosy, chatting to you about things you should try and do to defeat it, rather than walking for 10 seconds to come help you!".
You'd think you were playing an MMO or something

Hey !
in MMO you have lot of random events like Easter egg hunt, snowball fights, Halloween etc And you can do whatever you want
Put aside my MMO bias, i must agree that Dead Space does feel a bit ... repetitive after a while
And i am afraid it wont change much in later levels
