Although I admire Planescape, I don't think it is on the same scale of player agency with personal and regional choices and consequences like Fallout. I like Planescape system of truth/lie/changing alignment but it rarely has any consequence. In that sense, I think BG2 had more meaningful choices and consequences and more interesting companion interactions.
PST had more outcomes to the player's choices when it came to the main character, imo. In BG1 and BG2 there aren't any consequences to the choices you make in the main questline, and it doesn't matter what character you play. The only different outcomes are in the hell trials, and it still doesn't change how the events in ToB unfold. The yes/no question at the end of the saga is basically "which epilogue you want".
