Since GOG currently has an RPG sale going I'm considering purchasing Beyond Divinity and Divinity 2. Some of the reviews for BD mentioned that the game was very buggy. I know that Divinity 2 had its share of bugs as well when it was first released.

Did GOG fix up these games before releasing them? Are there any glitches or problems I should be aware of?

auroraparadox: Did GOG fix up these games before releasing them?
GOG didn't, but Larian did; there were several patches for both games after their initial releases. While neither game is perfect, they are not 'buggy'.
Many of the bugs BD had on release were with act 3 quests, etc, because that was the section of the game they finished last (Larian did the last act first, so they wouldn't end up having to cut anything from the end if they ran out of time, as happened with Divine Divinity).

The 'Developer Mode' cheat window in D2:DC can fix or work around several rare bugs/glitches with the game, if you happen to encounter any.

GOG doesn't fix bugs in titles like this. Developers (in this case - Larian Studios) do.
Divinity 2: Ego Draconis was basically released unfinished and it had problems with not only performance, but some dialogues going nowhere, not to mention tons of bugs. A lot of these problems were fixed in patches. Then there the game was re-released rebalanced and expended as Divinity 2: The Dragon Knight Saga and finally, now it has some more extras and a developer mode and it's one of the most flawless (/bug-less) Action RPGs, I've ever played. In 30hrs that took me to finish the game (Developer's Cut) and the expansion (and I skipped literally tons of sidequests!) the game hasn't crashed even ones and I have not encounter many bugs either.

I can not say anything about Beyond Divinity, since I've not played it (I have a copy on Steam).

Thank you both for clearing that up. I purchased Divinity II after reading your answers. I'm still debating on whether to grab Beyond Divinity.
