If you select all of the DLCs, you get an 81% reduction, so I'll just get them all because it would be more expensive to get only 2 lol.
I'd recommend doing so, though be aware that most of them are just cosmetic.
Yeah, I know, but only the content packs are more expensive than all of them + the cosmetics, so I lose nothing.

Big spring sale on, with a couple of build your own bundle type things based on publishers. I'm picking up a bunch of old stuff from before my time, like Ultima Underworld and HoMM3; costs relative pennies.

Though in contrast it's kinda funny, almost ridiculous?, to see Blade Runner on sale for 9% off and Diablo 1 at 14% off though.

Can afford Submarine Titans only, already massive discount.
Shouldn't buy so many toilet papers so I could afford more stuff on sale...

That's because both aren't available anywhere else. I think.

Yeah I realise, just a bit sad the rights holders weren't even willing to cut down to clean numbers — unless this is CDprojekt blue's call? Activision wouldn't surprise, GOG would.

Are Darkness over Daggerford EE and Tyrants of the Moonshea EE worth it?
I haven't played the original Darkness over Daggerford btw

Short comment - I remember playing Tyrants of the Moonsea when it was a free cancelled premium module on the Neverwinter Vault. It was incomplete, since the author decided to stop working on it when Bioware cancelled the premium module program, but I still thought it was decent enough at the time.
Darkness over Daggerford was alright as well, and had much the same history as TotM, even if it was finished. I didn't enjoy it immensely, but the module in itself was quite impressive.

So to sum up: They're okay if you like NWN, and can get over the Beamdog hate, but I'd suggest you give Swordflight a go instead, which is free, challenging and very well constructed. Lilura even fawned over it to an extreme degree, and I find myself agreeing completely about the praise.

https://af.gog.com/partner/stay_at_home?as=1649904300 a whopping catalog of 26 games offered for free. I just grabbed them all because I like freebies.

Is there anything particular in the list you guys would recommend?
Beneath a Steel Sky is pretty good. Flight of the Amazon Queen is ok (very nice looking too IMO).

Lords of Midnight and Doomdark's Revenge are wargame/adventure hybrids and classics, they were extremely well regarded back in the 80s. I haven't played either in ages but I think octavius did a bit of a retrospective not long ago.

Eschalon is an ok isometric CRPG, not a classic but I had fun with it.

Shadow Warrior is a Build engine FPS, IMO not as good as Blood or Duke 3D but somewhere in the mid-range of quality.

Ultima IV is a classic and is an awesome game. Combat is way too simple (like most Ultimas) but it mostly relies on non-combat interactions anyway, and the design is extremely tight. Very rewarding exploration, very unique endgame. The Worlds of Ultima games are spinoffs of Ultima VI, same engine, smaller self-contained stories influenced by pulp literature. They're both quite entertaining, Martian Dreams is more of an adventure game at times but I like it, it's got a really fun atmosphere and story.

Tyrian is a classic scroller.

I've dabbled in some of the others but not as extensively as these.
