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

I'd honestly like to try Lucius, just by looking at screenshots and watching the trailer I know it's my kind of game. Well worth the €3 they're asking for it right now. Unfortunately, once again, my tin can of a computer is letting me down, since, according to GOG's page of the game, it doesn't meet the minimum requirements to run the game.

And I'm not making the same mistake I made during the Summer sale, in which I bought Alan Wake and Alan Wake: American Nightmare "Wide A. Wake" pack for €4 just because I felt it was way too good a deal to pass on, and now those games are gathering virtual dust in my GOG shelf, since I don't have the machine to run them.

So... sorry, Lucius, I really am sorry.

DerangdArchivist: Aaand I stepped out just when Inquisitor was offered free. Here's hoping it shows up in a different sale.

blarth: It's the only freebie I was quick enough to get. I already have though, so if you want it its yours.
I would totally appreciate that. I've been trying to get every freebie, but I can't seem to compete with the thousands doing the same. :)

When it's done, I hope. Not a day earlier.

FoxySage: Wait, there was a inquisitor freebie before Lucius? Didn't show up on my screen. :/
Inquistor freebie was about 5 games back - must have been a late post?

The List:

Xiko91: I think that Inquisitor freebie was already given way before that. I didn't catch that on my screen
3 or 4 games ago at least...

animalmother2105: I would recommend playing BG1 first, then BG2. For Icewind Dale, not so much, but would still help. Long time, I do not remember correctly.

skeletonbow: There's also mod instructions whereby you can take BG1 and BG2 and combine them together into one big long game, I think the GOG page for the games links to the instructions for this. Haven't tried it myself though.
BG 1 engine is pretty dated and I had some major problems playing it, if you want the "hardcore" experience play it without mods but if you have problem or don´t care for that then install the mod, the BG 2 engine makes the game look so much better. I remember staring in amazement as I started the second game, they did wonders to the engine with the second game.

Daz12380: ive a strange question about gog why are the prices in usd while they are based in europe

CarrionCrow: Presumably because they didn't want to deal with Americans bombarding them with the question of what the amount means in "real" money.
thanks for the answer

That why you play with TuTu. Adds sprites, spells, rules and the such from BG2 to BG.

EDIT:
Figured I should mention that you need both BG and BG2 to let TuTu do it's job.
