Deals so good, you won't want to fall asleep.
You remember back when you used to walk into a store, browse the shelves, pick out a game, and then buy it--all in the actual real world? We don't know about you, but most of us at GOG.com have had our limbs atrophy to small vestigial nubbins since all of our shopping happens online these days. Of course, one thing that sometimes happens in real world stores with real world goods--particularly when they have a good sale--is that they run out of stock. Usually that means that the deal was so good that they couldn't keep up with demand.

Well, in the digital realm, this is usually pretty rare. How do you run out of stock on digital games, short of entropy devouring the universe? Well, we have gotten 101 games that will be on sale on the front page of GOG.com, but the discounts are so high at the moment that we can't just sell an unlimited number of copies of these games: we are only able to sell a few at these discounts--up to 80% off--and once they're gone, they're gone.

So what games will be on sale in our Insomnia promo? Bestselling classics and new games alike. There will also occasionally be some free games in super limited numbers (like, 20 or 30 copies)--if you're fast enough on the trigger finger to pick 'em up, that is. The deal will run from now until we're out of "stock" of games for the sale, and games may show up more than once. So it's time to bathe in a tub of coffee*, dip some espresso**, snort an energy drink***, or do whatever else it takes to stay up so you don't miss out on the best deals on fantastic games on GOG.com since summer.
*This is probably not a good idea
**This is definitely not a good idea
***This is totally safe, though****
****NO IT'S NOT WHAT ARE YOU DOING YOU CRAZY PERSON

mantarrochen: Spirit-eater mechanic, right, thats what it was."Hate it or... put up with it" Hehe. Mask of the Betrayer was good I have to give it it another chance again.

Coelocanth: This really depends on what type of character you're playing. Unfortunately, the way Obsidian designed the mechanic, it's absolutely no issue if your character is a good-aligned (and generally lawful type) character. If you're evil, it can be an extreme pain in the ass.
How would you go about replenishing the spirit energy again? You could consume other living beings, right? I figure that would be pretty evil...
The Book of Unwritten Tales is 2013 GOTY material - you would be crazy to pass up an offer like this! Go, go, go!
Ah, damn, really gotta get to working now. Don't you folks be to enthusiastic about buying Book of Unwritten Tales for the next hour or so! ;)

Yeah, that's the evil way. I haven;t played for a long time, but if memory serves, you could supress it as well. That's the good way. I think this way actually shifts your alignment to good, which is why it sucks for people playing evil characters.
Morning all,
did I missed last chance for BG 2? Or it's still on waiting list.

Sorry, you missed it.

Yes, I believe it was on sale awhile ago. I might be wrong though, this whole sale is just turning into one big blur at this stage O_O
How about NWN 2, Thief 1+3 and The Witcher 2? Had their 3rd pass yet?

Aaahh, those damn good characters, always suppressing things. :D
Why would it suck for the evil people? Dont they fret in killing and destroying and consuming others?

Did they make 2nd pass?
NWN OC is eh, kind of rather bland. HotU is fantastic.

NWN II OC is really, really fun. The start is a bit long, and the end is a bit rushed, but it really has some great parts in it. The Courtcase is fantastic as is Crossroad's Keep. Mask of the Betrayer is fantastic for most; honestly I found Storm of Zehir to be even better, loved the way party dialogue is done in SoZ. MoB really does capture the epic feel though. The only thing that was disappointing in NWN II as opposed to NWN were Blackguards. I mean come on, NWN you can summon all kinds of fantastic demons and skellies (with a great animation!), NWN II you can call up... a demonic rat. What. the. dickens.
:( That's a pity. Thanks for info.

The more spirits you consume, the shorter the time period between when the craving gets too great for you to wait. So it really becomes problematic for evil characters. Or so I'm given to understand (I play good characters almost all the time, so never played one through MotB).
