Buy?
first
if I missed something, feel free to say it

Each game has so much gametime to offer, that nobody will be able to make use of all three before the next - better - sale arrives.
Looks like it's better to buy only one game (BG2) and see if one enjoys it
Edit: Oh... they don't have them for sale seperately this time.... bought 1+2 for 6-7$ each some weeks ago at BS

I feel that way every time xD

Out of curiosity, I checked my emails, and it seems I bought BG1/BG2/IWD EE for 6 Euro this April. And I mean I paid that much for the entire pack.

6 Euro for all three? I didn't know it was that cheap already!
Oh well, 6 each still seems to be a good deal. I think they did a good job with remastering BG1 so far.

I have to add, it was on GOG. :) But yes. (And, well, closer to 7, if I look at it a little closer. ^^')

Ah on GOG.
Well as someone who has thrown so many hours into beating the Baldurs Gate Trilogy multiple times with high difficutly settings, I'm happy that it now finally gives achievements for doing so. :>
Although I'm not sure, if I'll really play through it again.... XD

Same, this is why I bought it on GOG. No achievements, so no pressure from myself to 100% it again after so many times. If I'll have the urge to play BG again, I can just install it and play it at my leisure. :D

There is an achievement for playing through it in casual mode on steam, so you would already get a ton for doing just that! :))

These are all good games, but I own all but Icewind Dale and I'm not interested in the DLC.

Heard bad things about DLC and some flavor changes they've made. Not sure if it is worth getting for the price.

Basically the new DLC has only a 10% discount on it
Comment has been collapsed.
Those games all have been on my wishlist for a very long time. However, considering that all of them
have been on sale on Steam for around €5 before, the discount is really bad. If Tier 1 were around €10,
I#d consider it, but not like that.

Too expensive.. Plus I'm 'only' missing "Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition" and the dlc in the high high tier.

Great games, but it's not a good deal unless you don't own anything/want to have extra copies to give away.
Comment has been collapsed.
I have all the originals sitting right here on my shelf. I might get the enhanced editions on Steam if they get really cheap. And then I sure want Planescape: Torment too, to complete the collection.

Such an awesome deal for all that. If I had the money I'd buy it.

After checking the price history of those games, T1 doesn't seem like such a bad deal actually...
Comment has been collapsed.
but it seems that it had a much better deal on gog: https://www.steamgifts.com/go/comment/xBcGTSA

Yeah of course, I'm assuming someone is interested in having the Steam keys

I was excited until I saw the price.
Someone had the same reaction

Some of my favorite games! But I'll wait for a better price.

Too expensive for 1998 games . Even if it really good one
Comment has been collapsed.
that is full price for me... for games that is not even close to interesting.

The Baldurs saga its pretty good if you like the genre, you can literally replay it with different chars and you will always discover something that you passed by on another run without noticed, but again, too expensive for really old games (the remastered its meh)
Comment has been collapsed.
So... this is expensive that way because gameplay? I thought it was more because nostalgia...
I didn't know the bright of these series... to be honest I never met someone who likes this RPG style. :O

cRPG used to be one of the most popular genres around the turn of the millennium. When point 'n' clicks started to fade but when consoles didn't made dungeon crawlers and TPS games the industry standard. They offered actual roleplaying, where player choices mattered or the story was the main focus, not just simple looting and minmaxing, like in RPGs before them (or after them, after the Diablo types too over, including dumbing down Baldur's Gate on console to a simple looting hack & slash as well).
Baldur's Gate is an icon of this era. Not necessarily the best game of the pack (that is a contest among Deus Ex 1, Planescape: Torment, Fallout 2, Wizardry 8, and Ultima VII), but the sheer replay amount and the characters made it the most popular among the genre fans. They were good enough to keep a modding community still around; this year a mod that I have been waiting for over 13 years has finally finished. =)

TBH my very biggest nonstop playtime was with the first Baldur's gate 12h (only breaks to make meals, eating in front of the keyboard), did only once xD Totally loved the genre :p

Obviously these (at least the originals) are great games but much too expensive. Luckily I already have most.

missing Icewind Dale & the DLC, but not for this price
Comment has been collapsed.
Gah, still too expensive. I really want to play all three, but not at that price tag :3
In all fairness though, I've heard nothing but extraordinary things about them. So. for three amazing games, 18 bucks aint too bad. :)
