Replay the game - now or later?

Replay the game - now or later? [SPOILERS]

Yes, I have finished the game and yes, it's already the best game in the world in my book. What can I say, words like awesome and incredible surely get too much use lately to describe this game well.
Here's how I'd put it: Planescape: Torment is like human life - you may want to try being a stronger, faster, flying animal (other RPGs and games with better graphics, replayability, combat etc.) but human life is still superior to it, and if there is something greater, you can't even begin to imagine it .

Anyway, I could talk on and on about what I liked about the game, but this should be a topic/discussion, not a monologue.

When I finished the game, my head was simply swarmed with thoughts about PS:T and my hands were shaking. Definitely the strongest game experience I've ever had. I literally couldn't calm myself down, I had to go for a walk. There was a strong urge to play this game, all other games, books, movies etc. seemed obsolete at the moment compared to this work of art. Needless to say, I would very much like to replay the game, but I have several questions:

1. Are there multiple endings? I saw a couple dialogue options during the conversation with TTO that seemed like they would lead to another ending?

2. Is there much point in reading all the dialogues again? This time I have read all the dialogues with great care, but I must admit I couldn't play the game more than 2-3 hours at a time - it's just not that type of game. If I played more than that, I would start skipping some dialogues and not read them carefully. I am just afraid that reading all the dialogues again will make me a bit sick of the game and ruin the lasting impression. That brings me to my final question...

3. Would it perhaps be better to play the game later, when I am older and wiser and experience it in a different way? There was much left to do like getting the two hidden PCs which I missed (Vhailor and that Modron), carrying the golden sphere to the TTO, unleashing the Lady's wrath (I took a few peaks at the walkthrough). Or should I do it now? I certainly don't have the feeling that I've had enough of the game but I'm afraid of getting it.

Thanks for reading this rather long post.

I'll answer my own question - I've already started replaying the game now. If I really won't to play it again later, I'm sure I'll enjoy it despite knowing it well.

Those dialogues are written great, I am reading it all again and I'm still nowhere near being bored. Everything makes more sense now that I've finished the game once, and I am finding the meaning in lines that seemed confusing before.

This is definitely a 2 or 3x playing experience. In the beginning of my first time through I kept thinking "Where's my sword? Where's my ARMOR!?" I also had Morte doing all of my fighting because I was weak. It's good to take a break to grab a different perspective. Torment is an immersive experience but too much of it is like swimming in the Styx.

These are my answers to your questions.

1. Not that I know of. There are a few ways to deal with TTO but the final is always the same.

2. If your going to replay the game again so soon after finishing it I suggest two things. First, forcus on a new class. Second, play a different way. If you were the good guy before this time around try being a bit more selfish. The dialogue options should change some.

3. I would wait. I would be afraid of dimishing the memories of the first time with memories of getting bored or rushing it with the second time.

Well, my new character will surely be different than my last one - thief, somewhere around lawful evil, and that means leaving Annah out of the party and taking that Modron and Vhailor PCs. That is completely different from my last character, who was a chaotic good mage, in love with Annah from the moment he first met her in the Hive and heard that divine music.

I know it would probably be better to play it later (that's why I asked the question), but the way I see it: Why wait when I still feel like playing it when there is a lot more to discover, and I am reading all the dialogues again, perhaps even more carefully than the last time. As I have already said, I'm sure I'll want to play it again later when I'm older.

Besides, playing on maxed difficulty as a thief should be a challenge, which means I'll play slowly, no more than hour or two daily.
