Across the years, Dungeon Siege and Deus Ex series gathered a massive fanbase among the gamers worldwide. Today Dungeon Siege Collection, as well as Deus Ex: Human Revolution - Director’s Cut and Deus Ex: Mankind Divided arrive on GOG.COM in all DRM-free glory.

Dungeon Siege Collection (-85%) includes three parts of the cult fantasy RPG series, along with the DLC titled Treasures of the Sun. The Dungeon Siege series was born in 2002 from the Gas Powered Games studio members' passion for the RPG genre. The title captivated gamers around the world with its rich fantasy world, beautiful 3D graphics, and mechanics that were easy to grasp even for the beginners in the RPG domain. It was only a matter of time when the sequel was released in 2005 with the expanded world and a more complex storyline.

Over the years, Dungeon Siege became a cult classic. This led to a movie adaptation of the game featuring Jason Statham and, finally, to the third part of the series. This time it was created by Obsidian Entertainment (veterans of Baldur’s Gate) and published by Square Enix. Released in 2011, Dungeon Siege III introduced gamers to an innovative combat system that made the gameplay even more dynamic and engaging.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution (-85%) is also a good example of revamping a cult series. After Deus Ex (2000) and Deus Ex: Invisible War (2003) made a lot of fans thanks to the cyberpunk setting and RPG elements, the series went into a hiatus for nearly a decade.

Human Revolution lets us revisit the same dystopian universe of the future, albeit its story is set a few decades earlier. The world is divided between the supporters and opponents of human augmentations. The main protagonist, Adam Jensen, is a former SWAT member and the head of security at a tech company. He is being cast into the above-mentioned strife after suffering heavy wounds and being biotechnologically enhanced in order to save his life. During the game, the player can expand the main character’s augmentation further, making him even more lethal.

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided (-85%) further expanded on adventures of Adam Jensen, merging action elements with RPG decision making, that changed the face of the storyline. One of its highly praised elements was the so-called Breach - an alternative game mode set in the virtual world. On top of that Deus Ex series was even further expanded with the successful comics series.

Now you can revisit the fascinating universes of Dungeon Siege and Deus Ex once more, thanks to the Square Enix Publisher Sale on GOG.COM featuring deals up to 89% off until 4th May 2020, 1 PM UTC.

tfishell: Now the Humble Store is having a deal on Tomb Raider games. If they ever show up here (maybe in a few months if Life Is Strange wasn't the last we saw of Square Enix?) I certainly hope Legend and Anniversary are released at similar discounts. (I know that'd only be like .50 cents going to GOG since the two games are only like $1 each at those discounts, but man that'd be nice. :P If something I'm working on pays off, maybe I'll grab Underworld too, so $3 spent)
This is why I'm holding out on Shadow of the Tomb Raider. I hope GOG can convince SQE to bring it here.

Yeah I hope you and others who want it have it show up. :) It's not much older than Deus Ex Mankind Divided.

Looking at it now, wow, has there already been another trilogy of main TR games? TR2013, Rise of the Tomb Raider, and Shadow of the Tomb Raider? I thought there were only two thus far. Not to mention the "minor" titles/spin-offs like Temple of Osiris and Lara Croft GO. My own hope is, at a minimum, getting the pre-reboot trilogy here - Legend, Anni, Underworld.

Perhaps ideally GOG could get the entire "TOMB RAIDER COLLECTION" bundle that's on Steam and release the bundle at a sale price comparable to Steam's $46 current sale price (-88%). That includes the stuff that's already on GOG, TR1-AoD.

I wouldn’t mind the whole set. 2013 is a great game. Rise was pretty good. Shadow however was pretty bad. Temple of Osiris was a surprisingly good one as well.

I liked the reboot a lot more than the originals. Rise was good, I haven't yet played Shadow, was waiting for it. I'll still get and play it if it gets here.

Whooo what a ride! Sorry to necro but just finished Human Revolution - been playing this one for MONTHS now - ready for something new but really enjoyed the ride! *Almost* tempted to fire up Mankind Divided (I hear it's a "shorter" game - would love an idea of how long a playthrough will take) but think I'll try a different genre to cleanse the palate.

ANYWAY - the ending - does it matter what I pick? Or is it just to watch a few different cutscenes? I'm guessing there's a "canon" ending carried forward (and I know at least one that's impossible). There's no save import or anything right? I should just sit back and enjoy the show?

Also - end of credit scenes - I'm a weirdo - I watch the credits in almost all the games I solve - is there just the one end of credit scene regardless of which choice?

Thanks!

Does not matter, no save carry over.

Think about which ending has the least impact on the status quo, and that is likely the canon one.

You know that is not up to GOG, don't you?

It's up to them or rather to CDProjekt in this case. SquareEnix holds most of the rights, so they can start to negotiate with them. Dungeon Siege without Legends or Aranna isn't complete. Same with Broken World for Dungeon Siege II. I know also that Mad Doc Software worked together with Gas Powered Games on Legends of Aranna. Mad Doc is no more, as it was acquired by Take Two and is now rebranded as RockStar New England.

Therefore this is one of those examples of two right holders. Square is unable of publishing the expansion without the consent of the other side.

Other example could be the Hexen 2 expansion. A similar situation.

Not only all of that mess for DS1 Aranna and DS2 BW, but who knows if WarGaming needs to be involved, as they bought-out GPG - so if GPG was holding anything for rights (i.e. engine rights maybe?), who knows if they need to be added to the mix too.

Would love to see all of the DS mess to be worked-out w/ distribution rights, publishing rights, development rights, engine rights, or any other rights so we can see LoA and BW come to this collection.

Sure, I have 'em from retail and all - but it'd be nice if they'd all show up digital for everyone to purchase too; especially those that missed out on them.
