I'm posting this under General Gameplay in order to keep related new posts in one place.

What exactly is meant by "avatars"? Surely not extra animations that aren't in the original games?

It's more likely to be a forum avatar... the same for a forum, alike SHS's, but the forum just doesn't support any but their own avatars(for legal purpose etc. no, I don't own the right for my avatar... ).

I think JM's got it right, but I can't say for sure. Has anyone actually bought the pack yet?

[Vicen]

Hmmmm I may buy the Icewind Dale pack if both games go together for a decent price...Always wanted to finish what I started awhile back but lost the cd's!

They've released Icewind Dale II.

• Includes the original Icewind Dale II and the Adventure Pack

Title: Icewind Dale 2 Complete
Price (5.11.2010): 9.99USD
Contains: Icewind Dale II
Extras: manual (152 pages), 2 HD wallpapers, book of spells, soundtrack, 2 avatars, 13 artworks

From what I've gathered, they're releasing the SoA & ToB bundle next, presumably in time for Christmas. Or they might release it this month, which would let them sell the entire Interplay RPG catalogue at a bulk price in December.

And here we go, Baldur's Gate 2 Complete is now released at GOG. Looks like the second scenario in my previous post (see above) is now coming true. To buy the all-in-one package, or not to buy? I'll flip a coin or something.

Title: Baldur's Gate 2 Complete
Price (16.11.2010): 9.99USD
Contains: Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn, Throne of Bhaal
Extras: 2 manuals (181 pages), 15 HD wallpapers, soundtrack, 13 avatars, 87 artworks, map, Throne of Bhaal reference card

Amazing . Thanks for sharing the link... I'll be looking at the entire BG series and Planescape too...

[Archmage Silver]

No problem.

Personally I'll wait and see if they're selling the whole IE collection at a bargain bin bulk price around Christmas before deciding whether to buy anything or not.

It looks promising if you're after the whole Interplay set:

Holiday season begins on GOG.com

The weather outside (at least here) is frightful, and the Christmas trees and holiday feasts are quite delightful. It looks like the Holiday season has finally begun. With all those hints, as one monk would say, we figured out it's a good time to launch the holiday season at GOG.com. We've prepared 14 special surprises for each day of December until the 14th, with a big surprise at the very end of the event! We're starting with a GOG carol contest where you can win some cool prizes. Read on for the GOG holiday carol contest info, and check back tomorrow for the next surprise!

[Archmage Silver]

The "gifts" have been mostly junk so far, but I'm still hoping for an Interplay catalogue discount.

[Archmage Silver]

Four days to go, and I still think it's been crap so far. Broken Sword Director's Cut doesn't really cut it.

[Archmage Silver]

And here we go, I was right yet again. Heh.

Anyway, all IE games are now available at a hefty discount, so if you've been waiting to get some or all of them, now's your chance! Go here to see all discounts. Valid in 2010.
