Complete your collection of D&D games on GOG.com up to 80% off!

By popular demand, one of the highest value offer on GOG.com makes a comeback on Valentine's Day, because we love you, and we know you love D&D! In the [url=http://www.gog.com/promo/hasbro_weekend_promo_140214]Destination: Dungeons and Dragons promo you will find the following titles: Baldur's Gate, Baldur's Gate 2, Icewind Dale, Icewind Dale 2, Planescape: Torment, Dragonshard, Neverwinter Nights, Neverwinter Nights 2, Temple of Elemental Evil, and Demon Stone--all of them DRM-free, complete with the expansions, and delivered with a generous selection of bonus goodies. All that, with up to 80% discount. That mean getting your hands on the entire collection of ten classic Dungeons and Dragons games on GOG.com will cost you only $21.10. Let's have a little taste of what you'll be getting, shall we?

Neverwinter Nights 2: Complete revisits many of the iconic locations known from previous D&D computer RPGs, and adds even more--all in a beautifully rendered environment. The game has been praised for faithfully executing the D&D 3.5 ruleset, delivering a captivating story and vivid characters, and vastly improving the visuals in comparison to its predecessor. With four full campaigns and adventure sets to embark upon, a set of tools to create your own adventures, and fully patched and ready to go, this is the version you just can't afford to miss, especially when it can be your's for as little as $3.99!

Planescape: Torment is another one of those games that every RPG player needs to have on his or her shelf. Winner of multiple RPG and Game of the Year awards in 1999, it is widely considered as one of the best storytelling RPGs in gaming history. With a gentler gameplay difficulty than some of the other AD&D-licensed games Planescape: Torment makes an excellent entry into the Hasbro D&D games for someone who’s new to the genre, especially with a price as low as $1.99!

Destination: Dungeons and Dragons is a stacking promo, and the discount begins at 40% when you're getting a single game, and ends at 80% when you get them all. As usual, the games you already own on GOG.com count towards the discount rate. The promo lasts until Tuesday, February 18, 4:59AM GMT GMT. Tell your loved ones friends who also enjoy Dungeons and Dragons and spread the classic cRPG love across the Internet on the Valentine's Day!

mrking58: Is Temple of Elemental Evil even worth 1.20?

Its the only game I don't have

Crosmando: Of course, but you'll want the "Circle of 8" mod-pack, for obvious reasons.
Does the Co8 fix the terribly boring end game in the Temple that is almost empty?

As I remember yes, their was some changes in the temple. They also added some new locations and quests, which were mostly cut by Troika because they didn't have the time to implement them.

You can choose between Co8 regular or Co8 NC, NC means new content, while regular is just bug-fixing, rules compliance, general tweaking.

You can disable the level cap with the mod, but I wouldn't advise it, at least on a first play-through, as you'll end up way too powerful by the time you enter the temple.

You can also change the resolution with the mod, though 1680x1050 is the max.

"Nice, you own all games from this promo."

There is a special kind of sadness seeing awesome games you want. Then realizing you already own them all. And have not even touched them since they were bought.

*grumble*

I've downloaded and spent some time with two of them since I bought this bundle last fall. All the others sit on the shelf staring wistfully at me.

Someday, D&D games. Someday.

On another note, now I know how to type ♥♥♥. An appropriate thing to learn on this day of all days!

I'm safe from this promo...the other one though...

Now is my chance to try Baldur's Gate! Haven't even played any of the D&D games yet, so is BG a good first game if I were to start playing them?

triock: This.
That.

Always good to see the bundle make a repeat though, a fab deal for all GOG newcomers.

I'm a big fan of Troika Games' games, mostly because of Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines, and how they handle dialogue in general. Is the dialogue system in Temple Of Elemental Evil similar to Troika Games' other games?

On that note, somehow I own most of the Dungeons and Dragons games available here, despite not being especially interested in Dungeons and Dragons, and having played less than two hours in the Dungeons and Dragons game I've actually played (Neverwinter Nights). I bought them because of how they're hyped by almost everybody as being amongst the greatest RPGs EVER. So stupid question time: are they REALLY that good?

Mega sale! Thank you so much guys! Just completed all the D&D games I want on GOG thanks to this sale!

Out of the Infinity Engine games (the 5 games built in the Infinity Engine which form the core of this bundle: BG1 and 2, IWD 1 and 2, and PS:T) it's the first one made and probably the least impressive. Don't get me wrong: that's like saying it's the shortest giant of the 5: it's still an absolutely brilliant game. It also leads into BG2, which is even better in almost every regard: if you like BG, you'll almost certainly like BG2, and if you don't like BG but enjoy CRPGs, you'll quite likely still like BG2. What I'm getting at here is that yes, you should play BG1 first, but make sure you get BG2 (and while you're at it, you may as well get the others) while you're about it and play it after with the same character. It's up to you whether you use one of the mods available to run BG1 in the updated BG2 version of the engine, or not.

TheEnigmaticT: I *do* wish the SSI games rights weren't so borked. I loved those games. ;__;
If the SSI titles ever turn up here on GOG - I'm instabuying them.

Thanks. I'll definitely consider this.

I don't think anyone plays ToEE for the dialogue, though it has some nice moments. (Well, the named characters' dialogue trees do. Nameless bystanders talk like exiles from an 8-bit JRPG.)

Edit: in fact, here it is from Tim Cain himself:
My goal was to recreate the Temple of Elemental Evil module in a 3.5 game engine, and at that, I think we succeeded. But I like I said, I wish we had created our own source material. The engine was so good, and I think we re-created the 3.5 rules and tabletop experience very faithfully. That was not the problem with that game. The storyline, characters and dialog that I wrote were simply not up to the level that Troika had set with Arcanum.​
