Never had any of them, so I chose Gothic 2 since it has higher price than Divine Divinity.
Gothic II gold and for the European store credit Planescape: Torment and the Betrayal at Krondor pack - both of which I used to own, but I lost the CDs ages ago and they're some of my all-time favourite games.
Already got Gothic II (one of my favorite games! played it for the first time in 2010 and it was the most impressive game I played that year, even couting Mass Effect 2 or Bioshock), so I picked Divine Divinity after reading it was better than Beyond.

With the $16 store credit, I got Unreal 1 (never finished it in '98) and Stonekeep.

SHJordan: Also got this, but never playd it. Is it like Diablo 2?
In that it's an action RPG and loot is randomized, yes. There is certainly Diablo influence in the older Divinity games, but expanded RPG elements...puzzle solving...more interactivity in with items in the environment. I prefer the Divinity games to Diablo, honestly.

I went for Divine Divinity, seemed like the most interesting at the time.
The Original Divine Divinity was considered a "Diablo clone" much like the game "Sacred" was. Beyond Divinity took that similar play style and added a few twists to make it seem different. Currently Divine Divinity is the closest game to Diablo currently on GoG.

I don't think it's fair to call either Divinity game a Diablo "clone." Larian took the Diablo formula and added a lot to it. They feel more like traditional RPGs to me. Kind of a hybrid of Diablo and Ultima 7.

That's a very apt way to describe it, yeah.
I had all the games on the list except for Beyond Divinity and Realms of Arkania 3. I went with the latter.
Why less people choose Realms of Arkania Trilogy? Because the game size is small? Too old, with no 3D graphic? And the price lower than Gothic II?

I think i will choose either Realms of Arkania 1+2 or 3 for the sake of being different. What i meant by different is not only different than majority of people here, but also i think its gameplay is different than Gothic II, DD and BD. I already on The Withcer EE, later The Withcer 2 so i want something different as my bonus game. Which one is good and bang for bucks? RoA 1+2 or RoA 3?
Hmm I already had both Divinity games so I went for Gothic 2. Now all I have to do is get hold of Gothic 1 and play it before hand. If I had the ability to pick my own game I most likely would have gone for Duke Nukem 3D or Redneck Ramage. Oh well, I can always pick them up later.
I went with Realms of Arkania 3, becuase it was only one I didn't already own from GOG. Amusingly, I still haven't played any of them yet... so many games, so little time.

But I'm playing the Witcher now, which is clearly an important game to finish.

panganaki: ¿RPG, Adventure or Strategy?. Because there are tons of great games and master pieces on that list of 5.99.

skrot: To be honest I am a fan of any genre as long as it is well made. If you feel up to it, feel free to put down maybe your top three 5.99$ titles or something. But then again, sooner or later I will have a look through most of them and probably find quite a few to choose from.
Ok, hard to choose three
the Last Express
Arcanum
Fallout 2


The first game is an amazing point & click adventure, Arcanum and Fallout 2 are among the best rpgs ever.

I see... Hmm... I hope i enjoy it as you. =3 I'm a diablo fan. I'm waiting for D3 for about a decade. =]
I own all but the Arkania games and Beyond Divinity. So Beyond Divinity it was.
