Id like to know the opinion of everyone on Torment: tides of numenera when it comes to "carrying the title" Considering thats a completley different universe, different premise, different system and nobody seems to have complained
But that game was not carrying any title from a previous game. "Planescape: Torment" and "Torment: Tides of Numenera" are literally two completely separate titles. If T:ToN had instead been titled "Planescape: Torment II" (and assuming WotC allowed this), you can bet anything there would've been a firestorm of anger and protest.
A firestorm of anger and protest? lol, You are realising you are talking about an indie RPG? Only a few nerds care about that or BG 3 being named Baldurs Gate 3.
