Get Legend of Grimrock, Wizardry 6+7 and 8, System Shock 2, Arcanum, and many other brilliant RPGs 60% off!
There's no other gaming genre like role-playing to keep you entertained during the long, rainy September days. By the click of a button you can transfer yourself far away from the mundane world filled with dark clouds, mud, and people coughing on you in the streets. Fall can be a marvelous season, sure, but without the Sun, it's pretty horrid. We want to offer you a way out, that's why we've prepared a [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/rpg_weekend_promo_200913]September RPG Special, an offer that lets you pick a new RPG obsession 60% off. Let's take a look at the goods, shall we?
Let's start with the one that is most likely to keep you up long in the night. Legend of Grimrock reaches to the roots of the dungeon crawler genre to deliver an experience that you longed for all these years after finishing Eye of The Beholder and Dungeon Master games. Create a party of unfortunate souls tossed into the grim depths of the Grimrock dungeon, and find out just how much truth is there in the legends saying that one simply cannot escape from it. In this classic, first person perspective RPG, drawing a well-documented map on a pad of paper is just as essential for your survival as swords, sorcery, and a keen eye to spot secret buttons. Now, only $5.99!

Wizardry 6: Bane of the Cosmic Forge came in 1990 setting some standards for what we call a challenging and complex dungeon crawler. Then, in 1992, it was followed by Wizardry 7: Crusaders of the Dark Savant which brought in even more depth and diversity into the already epic setting. Nine years later, the story was concluded with Wizardry 8, that successfully bridged the gap between what we call old-time and modern RPG gameplay. The trilogy as a whole, takes 500 hours to beat at the average and remains a shiny example of how epic a computer game can get. Be warned: this isn't your casual role-playing. If you think you're prepared for a real hardcore challenge, you're only $6.38 away from the complete Dark Savant saga!
That's only a small sample of the RPG goodness we've prepared for you today. Head out to the September RPG Special promo page, and browse all 18 fantastic titles you can spirit away 60% off. The promo lasts until Tuesday, September 24, at 3:59AM GMT, so don't miss out!

Nice promo but apart from 3 games including gothic 3 expansion i have all the rpg goodness i need.
Just in case it's a deal breaker for some, I just want to point out that you don't need to draw your own map in Legend of Grimrock. There is an automap mode (old school mode, without the automap, is completely optional).
Great deals on these games. I own most (backlog gets bigger and bigger) and the few I don't just aren't in the budget this month (which is fine, need to clear some of my current games before I buy more I think).

ofsaturn: As if I could ever find the time to play them, what do you guys think about the Gothic series? I noticed that the first game is not included in this promo, can it be skipped or is it better to start the series with the first one?
It depends. If you want to get all the plot references you should probably start with Gothic1. They are not crucial to understand later installments but RPGs for me are about immersion and such details make quite a big part of it. If you care about a more polished gameplay I'd recommend starting with Gothic2. After all I played G1 till the end only once but finished G2 a few and replayed it multiple times. One of the best series ever, sadly not very widely known.
Well look at that. I start playing Dungeon Master again because I miss the old crawls, and now you dangle Grimrock in my face. Lots of tempting things this time, but I might need to flip the couch cushions for this one.
The question is, is the $3.99 price tag for Gothic 3: Forsaken Gods Enhanced Edition worth it?

It's the only game I haven't purchased in this promo :)

I did read there's some mods for this to flesh it out and add more to the world.

Hmm...

I wish I had a couch to flip cushions ;(

I'm only missing G3: Forsaken Gods from that list, and I'll do what the reviewers say: not buy it :D (unless someone...recommends it? xD)

Why isn't the first Gothic in there?!?! That's the only game in the series I still need to complete it! (yeah, I know, different publishers or something?)
Very nice. I love seeing the RPG promos, although prefer the deeper discounts when an entire series is bought. Only missing Wizardry's, Eschalon's and Two World's from this collection. :)



Edit: I do own G3: Forsaken Gods and haven't even installed it yet but that is why I prefer the escalating promotions. I think it was the entire Gothic series at 85%, so the game was a buck fifty. Just shrugged it off and completed the series.

G3: Forsaken Gods is made by some Indian company when the francize was still with joewood - not worth playing

Thank you gog for the promotion:
I got Gothic 2 + Gothic 3 and finally Legend of Grimrock :happy:
"Nice, you own all games from this promo."

Never quite sure: should I love that sentence, or hate it?
How's the divinity series? It looks a lot like diablo and i'm not much of a fan of this kind of games.
*stares at Wizardry* ... *Wizardry stares back* ... I still don't have the time, damn you! =P

Crosmando: Ehhh yeah, I don't think you can even run it windowed.

carnival73: Just asking - there's been a few GOG games that went immediately in the dumper because you could not enlarge the window more than size of a Nintendo DS screen Wiz 6 & 7 were two of them.
Well, that's not true. It's just that DOSBox just doesn't want to let you scale the window via your cursor. You still can change the window size though by manually editing a games DB config file. Usually it'll say 'windowresolution=original'. All you have to do is plug in your desired resolution in the 'original' slot and voila! No more teeny, tiny window! Though it might take a little experimentation on what works best for you.

The same holds true for all the other DOSBox games available here.

Should I feel some kind of shame that I already have all of the titles in this promo?

(And yes, I have played Forsaken Gods before)
Nice, I can give my credit card another chance to purchase Wiz 6+7. Hope it will finally work :s
