That is, basically play it unknowing about anything to happen. I normally don't do that :)Jarulf, for Planescape Torment I would definitely recommend building a character with high Charisma, Wisdom and Intelligence. As you have probably heard, the game is very much dialogue-oriented. You will gain far more experience by talking than by fighting, so I always start a character with maximum Charisma. Whenever you level up you get a point to spend in an attribute of choice, so I then proceed to max Wisdom, then max Intelligence. Of course, you're most suited to being a Mage with stats like that.
Anyone have some general tips though (please NO story or plot spoilers). I read some on character generation and it seemed WIS was VERY important and also some for INT. Correct? I never understood if you picked class (like fighter, mage and so on) or got it as you played. Seems you should change mid game, or? In any case, sugestion for good class to pick if that is possible?
Some general advice (that doesn't tell spoilers)? So that I can enjoy it as much as possible.
Basically, standard advice is read everything, and think very carefully about any dialogue decisions you make. It is an incredibly deep game and one that rewards patience.
PS. Definitely download the patch. The initial version has a memory leak bug that can completely kill your performance.
