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

Fezred: I'll add that Divine Divinity was a sort of Diablo affair. A fair bit more RPG/adventure to it to break up the dungeons, which suits me. Beyond Divinity was similar idea but more emphasis on the dungeon crawling. Lots of interesting unique environments to explore, so you don't feel you are seeing the same cave or castle wall forever. Good setting and range of enemies too (I'll not spoil it). DD 2: Ego Draconis really added a lot. More of everything with an added dash of variety. Lots of adventure aspects, subquests and multiple paths. I prefer bigger overworlds and many dungeons to giant dungeons, so it was a great one for me. Very good sense of humour. Playing as the Dragon made the effort to get that ability well worth it. Very fun. I appreciated the addition of multiple solutions to quests and good or evil paths at points.
I bought DD about a month ago for like half off the game is a steal on sale. I'm about halfway through it I think. DD1 has some balance issues - the Survivor class is weak compared to the other 2 and some of the skills/spells are broken, overpowered, or underpowered. Also weapons are a little off there's a ton of good swords but hardly any maces or hammers. It's worth playing though some of the quests are cool and it's fun to explore the world. Story isn't bad at all. It's a bit different than Diablo I feel DD is more on the RPG side since it has a fully explorable non-linear open world.

Faeja_Vu: When you get down to it, a lot of large worlds have "regurgitated landscapes" and enemies to slaughter. Some are worse than others though, certainly. From what I saw in the vid though it definitely looked worth while to at least check out.

Personally I actually wasn't all that fond of Risen. Part of it is perhaps being limited to playing as a bald man and the world being far less open world like than it seemed like it would be. It can still be enjoyable though, in limited doses.

hunvagy: True, I'll probably get back to it. Especially now that I have two different versions xD I have a boxed Dragon Knight Saga, and the Director's Cut from a bundle. But for some reason I was put off real fast.. and let me tell you, I played halfway through Descent to Undermountain.
I'd prefer DC to Risen really xP DKS was a bitch to finish, especially the difficulty in the starting levels.

Undermountain had really funny extras though. The voice files were epic. My favorite was one of Blackstaff's that went something like : "I'm tired sitting here all day. I wish I could turn around and look at the torches".

Alien8n: Sounds like time for a new job. I hear Baldur's Gate are looking for adventurers ;)
What I do is simply hand her another copy of what I'd already done. That puts the ball back in her court. Does she admit she has that already or take it as if she's never seen it before and drop the subject?

Yeah, the balance issues are there for sure. You could look at it as a "hard mode" to spice it up for a second playthrough, I suppose. It never got the sales and support for ten years like old school Blizzard would do, but still comes up as a great game. Nice to see someone else enjoying it. I've a weakness for the 2D art too.
