Torque, good for rpg's?

I was wondering if torque would be a good game engine to use to make a adveture rpg... somthing related to "soul reaver"... and if not, then what is a good one?..

Torque is missing a few things out of the box for a single player game. The most obvious is AI (but that's got better recently), and i've not really seen a 'clean' way of having ingame cut-scenes yet. It also has some fairly nasty loadtimes for more complex levels, but it is definatly doable.

If I was building an adventure game, i'd try and cheap it multiplayer friendly though, as that is one of torques greater strengths.

Thanks for the suggestion, i think i will do that . On making in-game cut scenes with torque, does any one have any suggestions on how to go about doing it?
