Any other Planescape: Torment fans thrilled for this upcoming 'spiritual successor?'

I'm mostly excited because I miss games with stories. Now, everything is entirely action focused. P:T had possibly the best storyline of any game in PC gaming history. The scope, depth and emotion of the story are simply unmatched. Baldur's Gate 2 came close, but P:T laid off on the combat to focus almost every aspect on the story. It was more important to upgrade WIS, CHA and INT than STR, DEX and CON. The emphasis was entirely on experiencing the story.
The Bioshock series has story for days, and a rather bleak yet heart-wrenching one at that.
As a fan of both series, I have to say Bioshock simply can not hold a candle to the depth of story achieved in Torment.
