Well, in terms of cash the deal with all those D&D games is better.
But there is more to the individual evaluation of value than just price. Just some examples:
The GOG NWN2 release includes some nice goodies including 3 soundtracks and a hint guide for Westgate.
The GOG NWN2 release appeals to people who prefer to shop at GOG and limit how many retailers they buy from. This is a fairly common theme with consumers who tend to limit themselves to Steam or GOG or both or etc.
It is probably a fair assumption that many customers here already own the other D&D titles in that bundle making it much less appealing as a value. I for one don't need extra copies of all those games. I already own them on GOG. The only one I don't own on GOG is NWN2.
For less than four bucks savings I personally don't want another retail account to keep track of. I also want the extras. I don't need the other games. So, just for me anyway the GOG deal is preferable even though the price is a little higher.
I respect that this is a very subjective call but I can see both sides of the coin here. It's valid to point out the other deal for people and it's just as valid to reject it in favor of buying it at GOG.
