Will the option of combining M'n'M IV and V into World of Xeen work in GoG's version?

The game card denotes those two as "Might and Magic 4&5: World of Xeen," so I expect so. I wonder more if it will be possible to install them separately, though why you would want to do that I'm not really sure.

GOG.com: We're happy to announce an update of the existing catalog of Ubisoft's classics.

Excellent! I'm not sure how you guys go about defining what's a "good old game", but you keep releasing my all time favourites.
Keep up the great work.
I still have MM6 Limited Edition on CD although it never seems to work right in XP so I may re-purchase it for the cheap price of 10 bucks. 1-5 work fine in DOSBox. MM4 and MM5 are not the CD talkie versions on the limited edition retail version that came out years ago, although they can be installed to create World of Xeen. I would also like to see the World of Xeen CD talkie version here as well as MM7.

Oh, weak. Hey GOG, are we getting the full CD versions of those games?
Not that there was even much of a speech footprint in those games either way - I think most of it came from those goofy dungeon guards - but it'd be nice to have the definitive editions.

This thread forced me to pick up Might & Magic VII again after not playing for a few months. Now it's totally hooked me again in that peculiar way that only Might & Magic can. As I mentioned upthread I was finding it rather murky to start out, but now that I've racked up some experience points and gotten my party a bit more established as adventurers, the awesome is really heating up.

ElPixelIlustre: This is like not playing Quake 2 because Quake 3 is the pincale of the series. You can skip it, but you will probably be missing a lot of fun (specially with the great Heroes II).

Quake 2 is byfar the greatest game ive played in that generation. Its nothing like Q3 and stands alone, there name is all they share. Its like comparing Unreal with UT, Unreal is a fully realized world. while UT (along with Q3) is the base for Multiplayer. In my heart i know that Q3 was the better Multiplayer, its like comparing a John Deer Tractor to a David Brown tractor.
As for Might and Magic, never got into it except for Dark Messiah, love that game and play it often to this day.
I have so many fond memories of M&M 3: Isles of Terra. I played the Amiga version and had just gotten a shiny harddrive to install this 6 disk beast on. Then I proceeded to play it for literally hundreds of hours. I can safely say that no other game before or since has ever delivered me as much entertainment as that one game. This will be an instant buy for me!
I didn't play the later Xeen games until much later but they were pretty good too. Not a patch on Isles of Terra though, but I suspect that nostalgia talking ;) I never really liked the turn that the series took with VI and onwards, but VI is the best of the later ones, so I'll probably spend a while on that again too.
