Editing Planescape: Torment (section)

==The Novelization==

In the official novelization of the game, which is only loosely based on its plot, supposedly having been based on an early draft, The Nameless One was once a human man who made a pact with the [[Baatezu]], Fhjull Forked Tongue, (an NPC encountered late in the game), offering his service as a soldier in the [[Blood War]] in exchange for not destroying his home. He then sought a way to become immortal to avoid the Blood War entirely, and all of his most recent struggles are, in fact, the culmination of the machinations of Fhjull to finally claim The Nameless One's soul. In the book, The Nameless One's ability to recall memories from his incarnations (beginning with the one that wakes up in the Mortuary) is due to being dosed prior to awakening in the Mortuary with an elixir derived from the waters of the River Styx by Fhjull Forked-Tongue.

It's really not good. Much like the [[Baldur's Gate]] books, it was rushed out early to try to time in with the release. As such, a lot of details are missing, different, or just plain (plane?) wrong. 

One enterprising fan took a comprehensive transcript of the game's dialogue, added a pragmatic minimum of narrative continuity (pretty much assuming a pacifist run for most of the game) and it turned out a LOT better.
