The Elder Scrolls. Quake & Doom. Fallout. Alright.

Welcome, Bethesda, to our pantheon of all-time classics!
Today, we're happy to start a blooming new partnership with Bethesda Softworks, one that brings an impressive lineup of their unforgettable games to our DRM-free platform, and plenty of guts and nuclear smiles to our faces.

We're teaming up to release some of the greatest hits from the Bethesda vault, some DRM-free for the first time ever. Eleven new arrivals include The Elder Scrolls and two digital-distribution premieres, totally retro id Software shooters, plus the long-awaited return of the Fallout franchise! To make the day even sweeter, The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall will be added to your game shelf entirely for free when you buy any Bethesda game.





<span class="bold">The Elder Scrolls</span>, perched high up among the most famous video-game worlds ever created, are now DRM-free and updated for your modern computer - you can purchase all three to receive a 33% discount.:
--The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind - Game of the Year Edition.
--The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard - digital distribution premiere.
--The Elder Scrolls: Battlespire - digital distribution premiere.
--The Elder Scrolls: Arena - FREE with any Bethesda purchase.
--The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall - FREE with any Bethesda purchase, too.





Megahit <span class="bold">id Software</span> first-person shooters join the fray - also 33% off if you grab all three:
--Quake including Mission Pack 1 and Mission Pack 2
--The Ultimate DOOM
--DOOM II + Master Levels for Doom II + Final DOOM





And last we find that goodbyes are not forever (and that war never changes). <span class="bold">Fallout</span>, the premiere post nuclear role playing game franchise is finally back on GOG.com! Save 66% if you complete your collection in one purchase.
--Fallout
--Fallout 2
--Fallout Tactics



The bundle promos end on Wednesday, September 2, 12:59 PM GMT.

We'll be showing off many of these fresh and returning releases on our Twitch channel! Follow us (or track our dedicated streaming Twitter) to not miss 'em!

IAmSinistar: I would think the free games are triggered by adding a Bethesda purchase to a shelf, so they likely go with the key. Could be wrong, of course.

I'm curious as to what happens when multiple people redeem off that same bundle key. Does the first redeemer get the free games? Or everyone? Moot if it's the buyer, of course.
It does say "with every purchase", which leads me to believe that the buyer gets the games. Still, I'd like some confirmation, either from a blue, or from someone who has bought them as a gift.

Please don't forget about the Wolfenstein games, particularly Wolfenstein 3D, Spear of Destiny and Return To Castle Wolfenstein! :D

I voteTake-two as well so they can hopefully bring "Mafia" here by some miracle. :)

Mr.Caine: Nice catch GOG :)
very nice catch now i can delete the steam versions of fallout


i had the originals twice on retail cd/dvd but they didnot work , alt tabbing would break the screen you would have to use the mosue as a magic eraser to clean up the screen by moving the mouse like a whiteboard eraser, kinda funny though.


i read something in the steam version folder about a hd patch? a windowed version for win8.1? scalable from 640 to 1280x1024 on my old 17" inch crt screen?

anyways i never played the game casue i installed it under XP (i have steam on win xp, didnot wanted to spoil my win7 with drm :D)

so i never tried the game, cause i assumed the client be needed, apparently it runs, i will move it anyways and use the GOG version :D

I've just sent bethesda an email thanking them for releasing on GoG

info@bethsoft.com

I think a nice flood of nicely worded email couldn't do the DRM free movement any harm.

I also pointed out I'm showing my preference with my wallet.

As I said I re-bought the Fallout series, even though I've got the classic versions. I also said while I already own Doom3, Dishonored, Oblivion and SkyRim I would happy rebuy them on a platform that didn't unfairly control how my family play games I've bought.

I really hope we see more from them soon.

THough we've not seen any thing new from ubisoft ;-(

Topware seems to be on GOG already, 12 games listed when i searched on Topware.
Topware has many many more games, i see the label a lot in holland, so where are the other topware games ?:D

Maybe theres a lot more nice games.

Odd, I thought my last message got lost.

moonshineshadow: I would guess that it is just another problem with the ID of games here, so we are not seeing them as owned because of these different IDs.

Grargar: I think Bethesda didn't want to give their versions to older owners of the Fallout games. I guess that's why the Fallout games were renamed to Fallout Classic in our libraries.
This might be a valid reason...

Awesome!! Some of my favorite games EVER - Daggerfall will always have a place in my heart as being the first TRULY open world RPG. And for it's day, it was.. not just a classic, but absolutely legendary. You could become a vampire? and what, like 20 years ago?? That was a frickin' different millennium!!

And open ended? They had a random content generator, and you could literally run for miles from one town to the next. Was frickin' amazing.

Thanks for bringing it to the 21st century, Gog.com and Bethesda. Thanks for bringing it to our desktops.

I am really glad Bethesda found its way to GOG - welcome!

Every single game goes onto the wishlist, although Morrowind is a wee bit overpriced - 20 bucks for 13 years old game? Come on, guys.
