The "Might & Magic Series" sale states "Might & Magic 1-9, Crusaders of Might and Magic" on the main page...but only 6-9 and Crusaders in the sale itself?

Might and Magic 6 is a pack, containing 1-6 of the series.

MadyNora: Yay :D
I've been looking for a game or module that alows me to "properly" roleplay as a drow :D Because even though technically I can make an elf in D&D games and paint my skin blue, no one will actually recognise me as a drow :(
I know for sure you can play as a drow in NWN2 and get occasional comments on it from the NPCs. IWD 2 also lets you roll up a drow (or a whole party of them if you really want to). I think I remember a few comments if you have the drow as your spokesperson. Just a few more options for you. :)

I haven't played those. Almost finished IWD, but lost my save game and didn't want to start over. And I didn't want to play IWD 2 before I finished IWD.
NWN 2 has just jumped from the "back of my backlog" to "the game I must play immediately once I have a chance" :D

Ooo, ouch. Sorry to hear about the lost save, I completely understand.

As for NWN2, I highly recommend Xaltar's Facelift Pack. I don't install the NPC heads (they're a bit jarring from the other companions) but the player heads are amazingly well done. The one thing with NWN2 is that drow do take a level penalty for the various racial bonuses. So you might have to get handy with the crafting stations to give you an extra edge (you can make some seriously awesome stuff).

ixbt25i: But nobody but some losers with no life check the site multiple times a day to see if something on their wishlist is in the flash deals.

MadalinStroe: That's awfully abrasive. I'm certain there are plenty of people that would find this statement insulting. ;)
I certainly wasn't trying to be, I was speaking in general terms, denouncing the awful clickbait nature of these sales. I just wish GOG would evolve beyond these shady promo strategies.

If that hurts the feelings of some self-loathing menchildren because it confronts them with their own reality, I don't think that's something I have to take into account.

Am I wrong or is "HORRIFIYING FMV" spelled wrong?

I think I should get a free prize for noticing that GOG. :-)

Phantasmagoria 1 & 2. :-)

Yay! This self-loathing manchild finally got Total Annihilation, Total Annihilation: Kingdoms, and Beyond Good & Evil. Been waiting for them to all be on flash sale at the same time, and they finally were earlier today. That's all for me!

Not a fan of these flash-bait sales, either, but I don't see why the point had to be made in such an insulting way. Another one of these idiots that thinks its okay to make their point while trashing other people. Technically, I don't suppose any of us have a life if we post on these forums with any regularity. Yet somehow I manage to do so while still maintaining a job and spending plenty of time with my family.

Have a good day and/or night everyone!

If anything, I wish I could complete my "Best of Bullfrog" collection now and get it over with. Perhaps next time, GOG. :)

Deleting the comment, because taking the low road once a sale should be my limit.
To try it a different way - there are ways to talk with people without having to be insulting. If you feel the need to put other people down when making a simple statement, maybe you should consider figuring out why you feel the need to do so.
You are right in that GOG doesn't need clickbait to push sales. But when you feel the need to separate yourself from those so-called "losers with no life", it tends to scream that being seen in such a way is something you're scared of, possibly something you're labeled with in your own life just because you like video games.
You aren't a loser for liking games, just as the people who check the site frequently aren't losers with no life for doing so.
It's December. Funds tend to run low for a lot of people due to societal pressure to spend a lot. Being able to save a decent amount of money by checking isn't being a "loser with no life", it's being sensible financially.

Why can't you complete your Best of Bullfrog collection? What do you need?
