Ha Ha, Neverwinter Knights 2 is on there. However there is 4 games on gog that have D&D right in the title. So its prob a collection of three crusty oldies, and one outdated one from the early 2000's.

Wasn't it the main game earlier?
This is the season pass.
Hello! Let's see if I can get anything during my limited stay online. Sadly, I haven't mad a single purchase thus far...

Actually say that line back aloud as if you were from Kentucky. Sounds about right.

'Ya just go past that red bridge and then turn left on Hillbilly lane. You'll see Kentucky there in the parking lot right past greasy greg's BBQ diner. Then go up to the big sweaty guy in overalls and ask if Carl's around. He'll get ya fixed up real good.'

mkess: Aren't you a bit over the top. I think 16:10 is the resolution everybody uses today. At least, I hope so.
Not at all. The overwhelming majority of monitors (all brands) made today are 16:9, with the most popular resolution by far being 1920x1080 which is 16:9. The second most popular resolution is 1366x768 which is also 16:9 (most common laptop resolution). The best statistics we have available for this at least with respect to gamers is Valve's published Steam Hardware Survey statistics:

http://store.steampowered.com/hwsurvey

With computer displays 16:10 have always been favoured over 16:9 displays by professionals due to the extra inch or so of vertical screen real estate, however 16:9 has been dominant with televisions as that is a more natural match to widescreen movies and television content. As such, computer vendors push the 16:9 displays more as it is easier and cheaper to sell one type in volume and charge extra to professionals who actually know and care about the difference that 16:10 makes.

If you look at any given display vendor's current product offerings you'll find the overwhelming majority of their displays are 16:9, and usually the 16:10 displays are limited only to their mid-high to high end models, with there being almost no low cost 16:10 displays available at all. I believe the idea is that the average person out there probably doesn't even know anything about aspect ratio to begin with and will just take whatever the default is, while the discerning professional is more likely to seek out the 16:10 display and care about it, and more likely to pay more for the extra inch of screen and care about it being there. You'll find that probably somewhere around 90% or more of the displays produced out there are 16:9 as a result.

With 4k displays however, with the exception of an ancient and now quite crappy and unsuitable for anything useful 4k display IBM made about 15 years ago, none of the current generation of 4k displays (that I've seen so far the entire time they've been on the market) have supported 16:10 aspect ratio, rather they are all 3840x2160 which is 16:9 - and a grave disappointment to people such as myself who both know the difference and care greatly about it. This has actually been quite a surprise to me personally because professionals are both more likely to want/need 4k displays and also more likely to want/care to find one that is 16:10 aspect ratio, and since the displays are higher cost to begin with, they're somewhat niche to begin with. Personally if anything I would have expected the first generation of 4k displays that come out to be 16:10 exclusively for a while and sold to the professional market - much like Dell's 30" Ultrasharp 3007, 3008, 3011, and 3014 displays are all 16:10. I would have expected 16:9 4k displays to only enter the market when the prices came down over time enough that there was even a possibility that the average consumer would consider them in the mass market, and that until then they'd be targeting professionals only where 16:10 is generally considered more important.

So I have anticipated 4k for several years, but done so in disappointment at the lack of 16:10 offerings even though it is spec'd out in various standards. I've been drooling waiting for Dell or some other decent high end display maker to offer a 4k 16:10 display at all, but any time I've surfed looking for them from any manufacturer I've drawn up nothing but dust.

GOG's wallpaper has me wondering if there is some secretive Polish display company holding out on us! :)
