Hi

I'm kinda new to the forums but been around for a longer time. I had a question about the latest deals where you get 80% off if you buy all the D&D titles. But I already own two and i rather have BG 1 en 2 EE. Yet if you uncheck those items then you have to pay the full prices which is pretty lame.

And from what I understand you can't trade the game with other members as well, so I can't like trade BG1 and 2 with someone else? And is there a big difference between the original games and the EE? I know there are resolution patches etc but still.

There are some people, who have the whole bundle and can help you buy with your PayPal money separate titles at 80% off. Try looking here http://www.gog.com/forum/general/classifieds
That is also a general trading thread, so perhaps someone would agree to buy you something out of D&D bundle if you in return buy them something of equal value as a gift.

Thank you for the link. Also are you allowed to trade games on GOG? Or able to gift your games in library?

You are allowed to trade GOG games as you can clearly see from that thread. However, you can not gift games once they are (redeemed to) in your library. You can, however, buy games as gifts on GOG, which generates alphanumeric combinations (gift codes) that can be redeemed by anyone on GOG (including yourself).

Also I'd recommend the original BGs with mods rather than the EE abominations

Lol why is that? everyone is saying that HUD, UI and extra quests are worth the EE??

Because these have all the EE has (except the stupid quests which have nothing to do with the lore which were added to EE):

Lol too late the D&D 80% off is gone now :(( Damn the gods

The D&D games have been 75-80% off around 4-5 times in the past year, so the deal could appear again within a couple of months.

If you don't want to wait, forgive me GOG but you can get BG1+2, IWD 1+2, PS: T, and ToEE for $5 on GamersGate. These are confirmed to essentially be the GOG versions, just wrapped in a different installer. But that doesn't have the NWN games, Demon Stone, or Dragonshard.

yes Thank you. I've already knew bout their deal the problem is that I already own for of them and 2 (BG games) I'm still waiting to see if the steam sales will lower their prices. Thanks though :)

Ah, the D&D bundle. When it first appeared, it quickly turned me into a crusader for splitable bundles. If I could have gifted the five games I didn't want to others, I would have bought the bundle.

3 words of advice. Trade, trade, and trade. And don't forget trading.

I know, I was trying to set up a trade with a user when another user kindly and generously gifted me the games.

Still, trading is only a semi-solution, and I would assume that it is in Gog's interest to allow users to split bundles. The two options I was given with that bundle were the following:
A) Pay $19 and get the four games I wanted plus another five that I didn't want. (I already owned one.)
B) Remove the five I didn't want and watch the price go up to $34 (!) for the remaining four games.

A) Would have been totally acceptable if I could have gifted the five remaining games. I don't want games I know I won't touch sitting there, cluttering up both my shelf and my backlog.
B) would have been totally acceptable if the price had remained the same ($19) when I removed the five extra games. However, paying more for less is not acceptable.

So, assuming that my benefactor already owned the bundle and therefore paid $9 for the four games (s)he gifted to me, Gog lost $10. I would have spent $19 in a heartbeat if I could have bought only the four games or gifted the remaining five.

Blasphemer!

Sorry but the gods can bugger off for all I care :p

@Reveenka that everything or nothing policy is really stupid and I can't gift games separately. Platforms like Steam offer you much more flexible deals...
