Does anybody know if graphical stutters are still a problem in Divinity 2: Director's cut? Tried demo couple of times (with old and new graphic card) and couldn't fix the stuttering, but it was non-Director's cut version of Divinity 2.

dtgreene: For the Ghostbusters comment, what about this movie, which I have actually seen?

MadalinStroe: There must be something wrong with your link it doesn't seem to open properly.
It sounds like you've been drinking too much covfefe.

i_ni: Avernum: Escape From the Pit at the price of < 1 EU is a steal - go for it (old school RPG).

tfishell: Thanks but I don't care about the game, I'm interested in the music (assuming if it's in the installation files). Is the music good?
Spiderweb Software games don't really have music, except maybe on the title screen. (Exception: The ancient Exile games (not on GOG, but available for free on the developer's website (if you can get them to run) do have some music.) If you are only interested in soundtracks, you should look elsewhere.

Anyway, all of Spiderweb Software's games have substantial demos available, so you could try the demo and see if it looks interesting to you.

Edit: Added sentence starting with "if".

I don't remember having any graphical issues playing the game (GOG version). I played it a few years ago though.
The card was an nVidia GeForce 650 with 1 GB VRAM. I had made some system wide settings, but I don't remember them exactly. I had surely set v-sync on by default (as I always do that).

EDIT: I deleted a question about Age of Decadence.

Planescape: Torment: Enhanced Edition is 15% off and currently #4 in the popular list.

The best Tides of Numenera has is the basic game at #24, despite being 30% off.

It really says something about the quality of the latter game when it's new, has a bigger sale going on, and still can't come close to an enhanced edition of a game released in December 1999. Let's hear it for good old games.

By the way, in the past the games' page did show the games using their real all times sales for ordering.

From what I'm seeing now, even that list has been refactored to show the games in the same order as the front page list.

Popularity is calculated based on a price multiplied by recent (of a day or just of a few days) sales. I mean a formula such as popularity = price * dailysales.

So, the list is rapidly changing, providing no useful info. It's more a promotional trick than a popularity list.

EDIT: As for newer game releases on GOG, like the games mentioned in your post, their real popularity order number should be too much lower then the one presented in the list.

This applies to all recent releases (like GOG releases in this year), regardless of the games' quality.

Interesting. "By popularity" is a new sorting option (and the new default!). But you can still click "Order" and select "By bestselling" to see the "all-time" rankings (they actually only cover the last year or so, according to the Blues).

Does Divinity Original Sin: Enhanced Edition include the original version as a bonus?

And, is there any reason to play the original over the Enhanced Edition?

According to this site no, it does not include the original version.

I don't own the game so I have not played it myself but I read tons about it. According to what I read, there is absoultely no reason to play the original over EE. DOS:EE is really the Enhanced Edition, fixing tons of bugs and redesigning a few things according to community's wishes.

I kickstarted DOS:2 btw.

You can ask support to provide you original version of Divinity: Original Sin, as did I.
Posted July 21, 2017
And still no upgrade options for Tyranny/Pillars. Suits me for buying them early...

The original version is not included, but you may ask support for it as abr_alex has written.
See the attached picture.

I had bought the original, so the enhanced version was a free upgrade for me.

There could be some hardware or operating system limitations. The enhanced version is 64bit only.
Also a DX11 or OpenGL 4+ graphics' card is required and generally the requirements are higher.

I don't own either game, but I can't understand why the publisher and/or GOG are unwilling/unable to provide this. I would have thought it was a way to earn extra revenue for little or no work. Or am I missing something?

So many role-playing games that I cannot choose one so I will choose none...

I guess we're all missing something.
(Well, at least they tried...)

Ah, so Paradox actually did roll back the rather ill-conceived price change they implemented recently... I saw some talk of that over on Steam, but wasn't sure that would happen on Gog, too.
Seemed like a pretty bad idea (and execution) all around, so I'm glad they backpedaled. At least Tyranny seems to be at a historical low right now, so I guess it sucks a bit for those who picked it up during summer sale .
