Paczyk: To answer another question - will we ever have them included in the Bethesda versions? We will do everything in our power, of course, but I can't say for certain that we will.
Well.

Shoot.

Paczyk: The only difference between the Classic editions and the Fallouts from Bethesda is that the Classic versions (as we've decided to call them) have more bonus goodies and support one additional platform - OS X. Other than that, those two editions should be identical. The main reason for this difference is that the approval process for the remaining bonus goodies takes a lot of time and we didn't want to hold up the release just because of that. ;)

Thanks for the information! It is greatly appreciated.

I really hope you manage to get all the Extras back in there. I'll be buying them a 3rd time, but I prefer to have them here.

DukeNukemForever: I would highly recommend that gog would add some more informations about the differences between Bethesdas re-releases and Interplay classic releases. So far I know the re-release has some mods added, like the Baldur's Gate remakes. Multilingual isn't also new, as the Interplay releases on Dotemu wee also multilingual. That's not a Bethesda excluse, only gogs late move to multilingual support. Also multiplatform support seems to be gone, but that's also no surprise, as GOG did back them for Interplay (first dosbox, later wine versions).

So yeah, some officieal explanations what's new would be very nice.

Edit: Another thing, thread title is talking about Fallout classics while the versions are not the new labelled classics from Interplay. So yeah, kind of confusing. So, are these versions the Bethesdas updated and modded versions like on steam, or are these just the old Interplay versions just new branded?

Thanks for the clarifications. So it's just a legal problem right now and I can understand your decision to not remove anything from the older releases and instead make a new release. i really hope you can convince Bethesda to add all the goodies and your mac-port to the new release, maybe then you can also merge the two releases. But again, I think this solution seems to best for now, as the old customers will not lose any content.

Calamity: I already own Fallout, Fallout 2, and Fallout Tactics on my GoG account. Any chance I can get Arena and Daggerfall added as well or does this only count for new purchases?

If not, I'm fine with that, it doesn't hurt to ask.
In case nobody answered you yet, Arena and Daggerfall have already been free for a long time on the official elder scrolls website. Of course it never hurts to have them added to the GOG library.

Yes, however the version of Arena included is the CD version, which differs from the floppy version available from the Elder Scrolls website.

Could you please explain why the "new" Fallout games are not marked as owned, despite my owning the "old" ones?

Cheers for clarifying. I do wholeheartedly hope the bonuses get added for those that purchased the titles now, would be a shame if they didn't get them.

Could you also clarify if those that have the Fallout titles from before are eligible for the free Elder Scrolls games?

Take a wild guess.

Just to be sure, I want to ask something. Should I buy the new ones even if I have the classic ones (the store allows me to do it) or just stick with the classic ones?

I bought the Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics years before they were removed from GOG, but it's nice to see them back on GOG and i don't i will re-buy these games.

Stick with the classics since they are essentially the same :)

If you have them, no! Bethesda would be happy with your money, but they're not struggling to survive, if you want to make a donation, look for some indie game. Otherwise, you're just throwing your money away, imo.

MusicallyInspire: I believe he explained that perfectly in the post you quoted.
I don't think so. I have several games where I own the deluxe edition with more goodies, yet the regular edition is marked as owned.

Because it makes no sense?
