Across the years, Dungeon Siege and Deus Ex series gathered a massive fanbase among the gamers worldwide. Today Dungeon Siege Collection, as well as Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided arrive on GOG.COM in all DRM-free glory.

Dungeon Siege Collection (-85%) includes three parts of the cult fantasy RPG series, along with the DLC titled Treasures of the Sun. The Dungeon Siege series was born in 2002 from the Gas Powered Games studio members' passion for the RPG genre. The title captivated gamers around the world with its rich fantasy world, beautiful 3D graphics, and mechanics that were easy to grasp even for the beginners in the RPG domain. It was only a matter of time when the sequel was released in 2005 with the expanded world and a more complex storyline.

Over the years, Dungeon Siege became a cult classic. This led to a movie adaptation of the game featuring Jason Statham and, finally, to the third part of the series. This time it was created by Obsidian Entertainment (veterans of Baldur’s Gate) and published by Square Enix. Released in 2011, Dungeon Siege III introduced gamers to an innovative combat system that made the gameplay even more dynamic and engaging.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (-85%) is also a good example of revamping a cult series. After Deus Ex (2000) and Deus Ex: Invisible War (2003) made a lot of fans thanks to the cyberpunk setting and RPG elements, the series went into a hiatus for nearly a decade.

Human Revolution lets us revisit the same dystopian universe of the future, albeit its story is set a few decades earlier. The world is divided between the supporters and opponents of human augmentations. The main protagonist, Adam Jensen, is a former SWAT member and the head of security at a tech company. He is being cast into the above-mentioned strife after suffering heavy wounds and being biotechnologically enhanced in order to save his life. During the game, the player can expand the main character’s augmentation further, making him even more lethal.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (-85%) further expanded on adventures of Adam Jensen, merging action elements with RPG decision making, that changed the face of the storyline. One of its highly praised elements was the so-called Breach - an alternative game mode set in the virtual world. On top of that Deus Ex series was even further expanded with the successful comics series.

Now you can revisit the fascinating universes of Dungeon Siege and Deus Ex once more, thanks to the Square Enix Publisher Sale on GOG.COM featuring deals up to 89% off until 4th May 2020, 1 PM UTC.

SarahGabriella: Cyberpunk is gonna be a porn game with the first person sex scenes and genital options...Its not gonna be a measuring stick for anything. I rather see VTMB2 as that.
A game with sex scenes(and watered down ones, as is likely the case here) isn't a porn game.

That's like saying a movie with a love making scene is automatically a porno.

This is what this platform was made for, no DRM, no internet connection and Galaxy fully optional.
For me (just saying) the initial release of DEUS EX MD worked just fine, i could cut the internet,
start the executable ONLY and the game did run without the client starting with it. (DLCs too)

Ofc the communication service was running, but i did kill that one as well, can even kill it before
starting DEMD via executable and it runs just fine. So yes it it 100% DRM free and Galaxy is still
fully optional. I don t know why it bugged out for others *shrugs* or why they insist that the
communication service might be hidden DRM, despite the fact i doesn t interfere with the
game in ANY shape or from when you kill it.

As long as Galaxy stays optional and the games come without DRM, i ll support this platform.
(in fact i do it exclusive ever since 2010) Yes i test EVERY game i buy here, if that condition
is meet.

SarahGabriella: Even if it does, it just means its interfering more with your PC and its basically just malware at that point. Games dont need DRM, they need to be DRM free. Singleplayer games with DRM is the dumbest thing ever.
Many of the current DRM schemes were already malware or close to it, imo.

Also agreed.

rjbuffchix: This store is so vital and honestly in this era almost "too good to be true" in offering DRM-free offline installers of games that I'm always on alert for any perceived change to that, realistic or maybe not so much.
Aside: That's also why I sometimes defend GOG so much on some things.....I love some of the things GOG does well and want to see that stick around, and maybe even improve. :)

Maybe...I still use it, though, as it works for my needs....thankfully I know ways to make it "play nice", though, no matter what they try to shove into it. :)

It's a shame we're still at a place where depictions of nudity and sex are considered bad or gross. It's also depressing to see that from a German, since I thought it was less of an issue in Europe than in the US.

If we can have games where people's brains can splatter out the back of their heads, we can have games where your character isn't wearing permanent underwear.

ysperchy: For once I agree with you. Nonetheless I still insist you should cut them some slack lest you become a detriment to GOG employees who read your very demanding messages.

rjbuffchix: You're right on that too, as that really wasn't my intent. I said as much to a staff member assisting with my support ticket but I also apologize here for how high-strung I end up getting about this stuff. It does come from a good place though, for what that's worth. This store is so vital and honestly in this era almost "too good to be true" in offering DRM-free offline installers of games that I'm always on alert for any perceived change to that, realistic or maybe not so much. Part of my own misunderstanding in this topic was due to admittedly not having a ton of technical knowledge as well.

For whatever this is worth to anyone, the staff member who helped with my support ticket made me feel much more reassured in GOG being committed to offline installers.
I for one believe you have been very informative, rjbuffchix.

I also understand your conflict here but do not believe you have done anything wrong.

If anything you have shown that gog simply cannot rest on their laurels and in fact may well be in the process of abandoning the last of their core principles. You have highlighted this and should be commended. That gog have communicated with you is a positive sign, it is a shame they are consistently unable to show the community the same transparency.

I hope that you will continue to post your opinions..

Thank you for your candor @rjbuffchix. I would also like to apologize if my messages responding to your comments were perceived as aggressive. Needlessly to say, I also got heated taking the "other side" of the argument and ended up becoming a bit hostile while trying to get my points across.

One thing I can assure is that you and I have something in common (apart from being gamers obviously) and that is we're both on the good side of this fight, that is; no DRM in our games.

You're in for a big disappointment here. I'm from South America but I've been living in France for several years now and what I've seen is that there is a huge inconsistency, and I might go as far as to call it hypocrisy, between how European society treats sexual topics/matters and how European art (movies, comics, books, etc) depicts sexual content. This discrepancy is very much accentuated in women due to factors much complex that I wouldn't be the right kind of person to elaborate on. I'd wager that us in America (the continent) are more consistent in this topic.

Kyousuke.: Any news about this?
Dunno, but I am pretty sure(at least for Human Revolution) that the items are either cosmetic, or can be obtained(via looting or purchase with in game "creds") or built easily(via modding weapons to get the same functionality) in the game.

(I still agree the cosmetic items at least should be added....as some or all of them cannot[iirc] be obtained in some way while playing normally...but it might not be possible without some work on the dev's/pub's end.)

Don't want to get too political but it depends on the "wave" of feminism I suppose. In the US though the issue is more how powerful the religious folks are.

Man, I hadn't played Dungeon Siege 1 in ages. It's still as boring as I remembered it. The only reason I didn't sell it back in the day was the Ultima mods but ended never playing those either.

Cosmetics and weapons at least.

In any case, even consumables (grenades, praxis and so on) are advertised on the game's page, but we do not get them by buying the game.
This is clearly illegal under the consumer legislation of most countries of the world, and Poland in particular.

The issue i have is that kids are going to play these games, no matter the rating the game has.

There is sexual nudity and non sexual nudity. In Witcher 3, its very clear that the selling point is sexual nudity. Did we need to be able to have sex with prostitutes for only a few crowns? Fuck no. Did we need every woman to have massive cleavage and have big boobs? no way. Its there to appeal to male gamers.

Look at GreedFall in contrast. Women in proper clothing, fit for that time period. Also, the Eternal Fire is so rabid in anything but womens clothing it seems, which is weird for religious nuts. They would enforce a stricter, more modest dress code for women.

Non sexual nudity is fine and should be normalized and separated from sexual nudity. This should also be reflected in game and movie/TV show ratings.

Btw, how does me being german have anything to do with how i view nudity?

CDPR is great when it comes to GOG, i just dont like their gaming division. #Feminist

Give it up already. Theyre not giving up on anything. Y'all still make a fuzz about this. Besides, dont like GOG, dont use it. Its not hard.
