It doesn't include it - but the DLC is currently a (timed?) freebie that can be added via the Steam store page

O____o

which is what I said.

Reading comprehension fail on my part.. I need sleep... ><

*knocks you out with the hammer of reading comprehension

Thanks for the clarification, so I must have forgotten that I added it manually. Well, I'm 40 now, I guess my memory starts to fall apart ... ;-)

Change of topic: Their summer sale is over, but still no new games bundle from Humble Bundle. That really doesn't look good. When was the last one? Four weeks ago? And when was the last GOOD one? 2017?

Has anyone bought this 7.62 High Calibre game package on IndieGala, who could tell me whether or not it comes with 7.62 Hard Life also? I'm asking because it does not explicitly indicate it anywhere on the page or that I can tell from the IG website:

https://www.indiegala.com/store/product/762-high-calibre-brigade-e5-new-jagged-union-pack/42694

However what appears to be the exact same package on Steam:

https://store.steampowered.com/sub/42694/

does appear to come with it, as it mentions Hard Life 3 times on the page even though the "Included Items" does not mention it. It appears to be a stealth inclusion, perhaps included in the base game? I'm not certain though.

Just to be clear though, I'm only interested in hearing from someone who bought it themselves that has first hand knowledge rather than speculation. I can speculate myself already. :P

Thanks in advance.

Well it's odd... the Steam doesn't say it comes with 7,62 Hard Life either... in fact the only place that seems to indicate it comes in the package is 7,62 Hard Life's Steam page.... which links me to a page that says it doesn't come with it.

My instinct says trust the Steam page which says you only get 2 actual AppIDs... but then the whole package is only $1.75 local currency... just grab it anyways?

Hope that is an answer you like :-).

To me it feels like you get all 3 if you buy the bundle. Price is worth a try.

Steam has Dungeon Siege 2 for 97 cents and Dungeon Siege 3 for 2.99.

Is that still a rip off? :P

Tbh, I actually thought the original DS the least fun of the three. :P (Not that I finished any of them)
Maybe I should put that in the "Unpopular Opinions" thread? ;)

Everyone is being super helpful today.

I loved the beginning of the original but it just got more and more and more and more booooooring.
I was beyond sick of it by the time I finished.

Oh. Good to know. I only played the beginning and already thought it was really boring. I always thought, since people seem to like it, it must get better later on ...

Sadly. by the time I realized #1 wasn't going to get any better, I was too far in. I thought, shit I've come this far, I need to finish it!

How would you describe DS? I love fantasy games, but I have a vague memory of playing the demo way back when and having a negative opinion. I think it's not RPG at all, just nonstop combat, is that right? I find hack and slash boring, is that what the gameplay is?
