rcgamer: This is a series I have been wanting to try for a while. Think I'll pick em up.
StingingVelvet: If you like old-school RPGs they are excellent. Well, the second one is, I haven't played the first. Maybe I will get it during this sale, though I would rather buy it direct.
Thomas Riegsecker (BasiliskWrangler) says that they're considering republishing a collectors ed of the first game, so you might want to wait for that. I've already finished both games, and have the DVD version of EB2, but I know I'll be picking up Book 1's collectors ed when it's released.
@rcgamer: I have to say though, both games aren't perfect, and skills aren't well-balanced, but nonetheless they're still well worth the money. I clocked in about 20 hours per game. Go for the deal on Gamersgate if you just want the digital version, if not go straight to the developer for the DVD version.
