We're launching the weekend early this week as good things should last longer. You've been waiting for this promo for a while, and it's finally here!

You knew this day will finally come, and at last you can grab the great Dungeons & Dragons classics, including Baldur's Gate, Planescape: Torment or Neverwinter Nights, for prices so crazy you have to figure that we're Chaotic Neutral. With this deal we're also testing a totally new promo system that gives you a bigger discount the more games you buy in one order. We're starting with a 20% discount if you buy one game from the offer. Every another game from the promo that you add to the order increases your discount with another 5%, so 2 games get you 25% off, 3 games get you 30% off and so on, until you get a 60% discount on your order of the whole D&D collection. Of course if you already own some of the games from the promo they will count towards your final discount!

The promo ends on Monday, September 26 at 11:59 p.m. EDT, so there's no time to lose, and you'll never know when a similar occasion will happen again.

jefequeso: So does this deal cover ALL D&D games? Not just Baldur's Gate, Planescape, and Neverwinter Nights?

'cause if so... Imma pick up Temple of Elemental Evil and Icewind Dale 1+2 ASAP!
Yes, those are on sale too. :)
Awesome, awesome promo. Will likely end up getting the whole she-bang. Just curious, as I owned one title going in: do you start at the percentage fort he number of titles you already own (it said 20% off for one owned game). Either way, awesome deal. After picking out the ones I really wanted, it was a dollar cheaper to grab the rest. :D

Someone needs that "jump to conclusions" mat from Office Space.

Yes, it does.
I already own BG 1 & 2, Planescape and NWN. Of these, I for some reason can't get into the BG games (I think it's because I can't fathom the D&D ruleset) but loved the story and atmosphere of Planescape. NWN for some reason refuses to play nice with this lappy but when it DID work (on the last one) I rather enjoyed it.

I'm thinking of picking up TOEE. Based on what I've said above (granted it's not much...) would you guys recommend the other games in the promo? How easy would the rulesets be for a total D&D virgin to understand?

This is a fantastic promo!
Invest 35$ or so, play for a couple of years...
/me is tempted SOOOOOO much. :)
A bit disappointing. I can't afford the whole pack and selecting couple of them just doesn't make much sense to me. Buying only 2 or 3 is not much of a bargain even having one game. On the other hand, wanting 5 I'll have to pay nearly as much as for all, and since I can't afford buying everything... Bad GOG!
I'm in. Well done, GOG!

Dragobr: Sorry GOG, but I can't support you on this. 60% on these games is a pretty good discount, but I'm not interested in all of them, and if I pick all of those I'm interested in, the price is too high for me to pay. Then, if I pick few games, as I usually do, the discount is unattractive.
I agree 100% with this. I was initially excited by Baldur's Gate being in the promo as I had been waiting for it but this new promo system is annoying. For while I was thinking "buy nothing" or "buy everything". I decided on "buy nothing" mostly because there are many games I am not interested on and one game I already own as a physical version (NWN1).

Being able to gift some of the games from the pack might help a bit. Eg. I buy whole pack and gift NWN1 and Icewind Dales away before I download them. I have no idea if this is already possible as I don't know if the gift codes are per purchase or per games (eg. do I get gift code for every game in the purchase or single code which covers all).

edit: grammar

Jump for joy? Like the person in my attachment?

Well have to see how people will take up to liking this new system. Before you had a choice between two set discounts, full or limited, so that you were free to buy just one or two games and still get a good deal. Now, with the incremental increase, it will either push people to buy the whole offer or back away from a smaller purchase.

As far as the promo goes, got them all for 30 (50%?) off at Christmas.

TOEE is a pretty decent RPG, and the Icewind Dale games are kinda a traditional RPG/hanck-and-slash combo. They are not that hard to get into, but fighting and character planning is a major part of the gameplay. Demon Stone is a simple action-packed hack-and-slash (granted pretty good at that), and the D&D game system is pretty much non-existent in it.

On another note, if you couldn't get into Baldur's Gate 1 due to the difficulty at the neginning of the game, try BG2. It's much more forgiving on new players. (Although there's some spoilers for BG1 at the beginning of BG2, if that bothers you.)

Why not select only the ones you want for yourself, buy them, then come back and buy the others as gifts? Or am I misunderstanding how this works?

Edited to add: Disregard this. I misunderstood.
