Oh, the world is coming to an end when you can buy two RPG's of the year in one box for $9.99! I have Torment now, and am looking for any inexpensive pointers that you obsessionists may give to me. I haven't installed yet (enjoy the anticipation, what little there is), so guide your guidance guidingly.

Check the Tips, Tricks & Hints subsection on SP. Most of the stuff there is helpful to know before you start playing, and you can skip what might be spoilers.
