How can you like Planescape Torment, but not include Baldur's Gate in some capacity?
Why not? They are radically different settings and have quite different gameplay. I myself like torment much better than BG, frankly I think it's a bit overrated these days. I don't think it holds up as well as fallout and torment do. BG2 is a bit better, but I've still never been able to finish BG.
