For 13.77 €, Humble Bundle is selling 7 of the best fantasy role-playing games of all time in the style of Baldur’s Gate 3 on Steam: the first two Baldur’s Gate, as well as Planescape Torment, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, and the Pathfinder games.
What kind of offer is this? Humble Bundle offers a special sale, “Killer RPGs from the modern masters.” The offer is available in 5 price tiers. The most attractive price tier is the second one, for 13.77 € you get 7 role-playing games on Steam (via humblebundle):
- Pathfinder: Kingmaker with Season Pass
- Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous with 2 Season Passes – a game you can spend hundreds of hours on
- Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventure
- Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2
- Icewind Dale
- Planescape: Torment in the Enhanced Edition
Wrath of the Righteous was released in September 2021 and has received 2 Season Passes:
Those who pay more get a sci-fi epic in the Warhammer 40k universe
Can the package be upgraded? Those who pay 32.14 € also get the very good Warhammer: 40,000: Rogue Trader, the latest game from Owlcat. This is not a classic fantasy game, but a dark sci-fi RPG.
You can also spend 250 hours in Rogue Trader.
Even if you only pay for the cola, it’s enough for 2 top RPGs
Are there cheaper alternatives? For 9.18 €, if you skip the cola, you get the same as for 13.77 € – only the season passes for the Pathfinder games are excluded.
For 6.42 € you forgo Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous and Neverwinter Nights.
For 3.67 € you still get Planescape Torment and Icewind Dale.
Role-players can stock up on material until Christmas for 13.77 €
What makes the offer so good? Planescape: Torment was considered for decades to be the best-written role-playing game of all time – only Disco Elysium can match it.
The early games of Baldur’s Gate and Icewind Dale are classics of the genre. Even though they seem a bit rusty compared to Baldur’s Gate 3, they have shaped the genre.
The Pathfinder games from Owlcat do not play in this league, but are as close as modern games come to the classics – alongside the direct predecessors of Baldur’s Gate 3, the Divinity games from Larian.
If you are into classic fantasy role-playing, the variants of the offer will keep you supplied with gaming material until Christmas. Also nice: buying the package supports a charitable cause. A portion of the proceeds goes to a scholarship fund for Girls Make Games.
How long is it valid? The offer is valid until September 5th.
