Both are among the greatest RPGs.
Planescape suffers from it's zeitgeist and that it "needed" the fighting to be considered a RPG. I imagine it would surpass DE if they could have focused only on the story, the world and it's inhabitants.
DE could only reach it's high because PT existed first and showed what was possible and that the fighting only distracted.
If you haven't played Disco Elysium yet, I highly recommend it. Since you like reading long texts, that part of the game will not bother you as it does some other players.
Disco Elysium: The Final Cut adds full voice over, so no reading required. Also the voice work for the inner thoughts is done by Lenval Brown and it is incredible. Like, seriously, go look up some gameplay footage on this. That man has a voice that you can listen to all day.
Also, Mike Goodman now voices the Horrific Necktie in the final cut and its the best thing ever.
I wholeheartedly agree, the voices in this game are all awesome and fitting. I just didn't mention that because you either read the texts or sit even longer hearing them. Both ways you need a certain patience to enjoy this game. (Which not everyone has and that is okay as well)
