GOG loves D&D

The Best of The Best. Unrivaled Champions of the genre. Nine of the Greatest. The Supreme Achievement of isometric era. Matchless. Perfect. 11 out of 10. Yes, you've guessed it--we're talking about D&D RPGs. From now until Friday, September 21 at AM 9:59 GMT [url=http://www.gog.com/en/promo/hasbro_stacking_promo/]you can buy fantastic Hasbro RPGs from the world of Dungeons and Dragons up to 65% off! If by some terrible twist of fate you didn't have the chance to add all of those Diamonds to your collection, now is a chance to correct this terrible injustice. Let's take a peek into the treasury, shall we?

In the center of our D&D chamber we've got the iconic Baldur’s Gate: The Original Saga and Baldur’s Gate II: Complete that collectively received over 10 “Best game of the year” awards from publications such as PC Gamer, Eurogamer, Computer Games Magazine and IGN. And in the cold, ice-filled corner there's the Icewind Dale and Icewind Dale 2 series that brought the D&D license to a more combat-oriented RPG gaming. The strange shimmering light comes from the inter-dimensional portal where Planescape: Torment resides. Winner of multiple RPG and Game of the Year awards in 1999, it is widely considered as one of the best storytelling RPGs in gaming history.
The treasure chamber wouldn't be complete without Neverwinter Nights--a game with a great single player campaign that offers even greater multiplayer experience and modding capabilities. This game is literally one you could play the rest of your life, if you were determined to get through every single user-created campaign or keep attending a multi-player server. And don't forget about the somewhat underrated gems in the collection! Dungeons & Dragons: Dragonshard is a fascinating blend of RPG and RTS. Forgotten Realms: Demon Stone is an action RPG with some interesting tactical elements to go along with the usual hack and slash of the genre. Finally, Temple of Elemental Evil, one of the tougher tactical RPGs ever--so hard that it balances on the fine edge of fairness.

A short news post like this is not nearly enough to give justice to each single D&D Diamond available in this promo. And because GOG staff loves D&D so much we are going to tell you about our personal experiences with those games throughout the week, starting tomorrow. But enough talk! Let the D20s roll! Visit the promo page to complete your collection of Diamonds of D&D!

rodrolliv: I'll ask again: any chance that NWN will receive the remaining Premium Modules?
Considering the way that Atari murdered Premium Modules, I would say it's very unlikely, since not even BioWare officially supports them anymore.

Bioware don't sell them anymore because Atari determined the removal of the premium modules from Bioware own store, but Atari never offered them in their store. Now is impossible to buy these anywhere

That was my point. You can't actually buy them anywhere, so they're not going to appear here.

billybgame: Hmm....no one bothered to answer my post from 4 days ago, about BG1 and multiplayer....probably pertains to BG2 also, but don't know as I haven't played my physical copies of that yet.

Anyhow, I tried MP BG1 with my boy awhile back, and had nothing but problems. Game crashes, when starting, mainly, I think......or it wouldn't let us start, and just sat there trying.

So, I'm tempted to buy a bunch of these. I own a lot of them, but don't have the expansions, so that's a big tempt.....but the clincher will be if multiplayer BG1 will work for us with the GOG version. So, can someone verify for me?

I did see in the GOG help forums, that Google Chrome can cause problems with BG1.....maybe that was our problem? I'm a staunch Chrome user and don't like to close it down:) Anyhow, I'll buy most of these, if multi becomes easier.

Edit: Also, I have seen mention of mods for NWN, etc.....how easy is it to apply mods to GOG versions of these games? I've yet to try that, but if it's easy, NWN sounds much more interesting.
Do any of these threads help with the multi-player issue? I unfortunately can't help with GOG-specific, as I have hard copies of all of them. I hope someone else will be able to answer you. As for mods, I don't see why they wouldn't install fine on a GOG install, there are threads discussing modding - but again, I'd hope someone with a GOG version could clarify for you.

Searching for multiplayer in the BG sub-forum will get you some more results, I just picked the ones that looked most helpful. I hope you can get it up and running for you and your son!

But some of the PMs are included. I wonder what's the difference between Kingmaker and INfinite Dungeons, in legal terms? Back in the day you could buy them all at the Bio-store. I never did because of the DRM (first content to ask you for online checkout everytime you load a save, IIRC).

Oh well, I guess GOG just got the first pack Atari offered them.
Didn't own even a single one of them.... instabought :D

Thanks...those are somewhat useful.....I've read at least some of them before, when I was trying to get it to work....we even tried Game Ranger, but had some issue, that I can't recall at the moment. It's been months, so it's fuzzy.

So, basically, it seems the GOG games don't really remove any of the issues the disk version have.

But, I still don't have the expansions for BG1 or BG2, Icewind Dale 1 or NWN. And, don't even own T of Elem Evil or Icewind 2.....I still think I'll buy most or all....just not sure the less desirable few games are worth $3 more:) My disc copy of Planescape works fine, so don't need that one, etiher.

Welcome! I tried, anyway. Something I came across while reading those was that GameRanger preferred the expansion of BG1...perhaps that would solve your problem? I ended up buying ToEE and IWD2 for the same reason - never played and didn't own. :)
Just grabbed both BGs, both IWDs, NWN and ToEE. Ashamedly, I haven't played any of them (except NWN, but I've only played the original campaign of that and not the expansions) before; so it's gonna be great playing through them for the first time.

I read that about the BG1 expansion, as well, and wondered about that. I think I'm just going to plunk down the $30.01, or whatever it was, and buy the whole kit and kaboodle, and hope for the best. My 10 year old son is here sick off school today, so what better day to give BG1 a multiplayer shot again?:) If I can't get it to work, I'm going to be pretty frustrated. We shall see.
The promo ends in 13 hours aprox. It would be a nice surprise if at that time GOG started a new promo with the release of certain dnd game from Obsidian... :P I know a release on Friday is not likely, but still.

+1 Never give up hope!
So, quick question. I just found GOG, and I'm really interested in getting either BG 2 or NWN while they're on sale. Which should I choose?
