The Elder Scrolls. Quake & Doom. Fallout. Alright.

Welcome, Bethesda, to our pantheon of all-time classics!
Today, we're happy to start a blooming new partnership with Bethesda Softworks, one that brings an impressive lineup of their unforgettable games to our DRM-free platform, and plenty of guts and nuclear smiles to our faces.

We're teaming up to release some of the greatest hits from the Bethesda vault, some DRM-free for the first time ever. Eleven new arrivals include The Elder Scrolls and two digital-distribution premieres, totally retro id Software shooters, plus the long-awaited return of the Fallout franchise! To make the day even sweeter, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall will be added to your game shelf entirely for free when you buy any Bethesda game.





<span class="bold">The Elder Scrolls</span>, perched high up among the most famous video-game worlds ever created, are now DRM-free and updated for your modern computer - you can purchase all three to receive a 33% discount.:
--The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition.
--The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard - digital distribution premiere.
--The Elder Scrolls: Battlespire - digital distribution premiere.
--The Elder Scrolls: Arena - FREE with any Bethesda purchase.
--The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall - FREE with any Bethesda purchase, too.





Megahit <span class="bold">id Software</span> first-person shooters join the fray - also 33% off if you grab all three:
--Quake including Mission Pack 1 and Mission Pack 2
--The Ultimate DOOM
--DOOM II + Master Levels for Doom II + Final DOOM





And last we find that goodbyes are not forever (and that war never changes). <span class="bold">Fallout</span>, the premiere post nuclear role playing game franchise is finally back on GOG.com! Save 66% if you complete your collection in one purchase.
--Fallout
--Fallout 2
--Fallout Tactics



The bundle promos end on Wednesday, September 2, 12:59 PM GMT.

Klumpen0815: I like Doom 3's original "shadow management" with the flashlight, it's what made this game special for me and the level design is made for this. No interest in the duct tape mod here.
Agree wholeheartedly. The use of shadows (along with absolutely stellar use of sound) is what makes the game.

Great job GOG (was going to say good job, but considering Bethesda's hostility to DRM-Free I had to say great). Now get Bethesda to release the rest of their stuff here, especially Fallout 4 and I will buy!

Jinxtah: I own all the fallout games already, but they're now named Fallout CLASSIC. I'm assuming they're exactly the same games, so what was the reasoning for doing it this way? It makes no sense that the new releases don't show up as being in my library, even though I clearly own them.

Barry_Woodward: The Interplay versions marked "Classic" have more special features (which those that acquired them previously will get to keep), but the games themselves are virtually identical with Bethesda's versions, for the time being. In the future, if Bethesda decides to make additional improvements, those changes will not be carried over to the Interplay originals, although GOG will continue to support them.
They do indeed have lots of extra "goodies", which is fine and all, but it's a little silly owning an unlisted version of a game, when the game is listed on gog again. It can't be that hard to find some way to merge them, so the game will show up as owned when I browse the site, and just let the people who gobbled up the original versions (or CLASSIC if you prefer), gets to keep all the extra stuff that came with their versions.

So there is hope, that one day we will see games like the Heretic/Hexen series, Quake 2-4, Doom 3 & Add-On, Wolfenstein series and such games on GOG?

Though this list worries me, as it only lists the BFG Edition of Doom 3... I hope this doesn't mean the original is abandoned.

It's great to see Doom here on Gog.

The games were on Steam so I was waiting for them eagerly, knew it was only a matter of time.

One of the biggest difference between Doom 3 and Doom 3 BFG is, that in the original (older) version the bodies don't dissapear. They stay.

That's because the original Doom 3 wasn't published by Bethesda. This list only shows which releases they were the original publishers of, not their current full portfolio (notice that the other Doom and Quake games are also missing).

The lighting was pretty screwed up too. Even on the lowest settings it was too bright.
