Oh, right, and trademark Pirahna Bytes feature, seen in Risen as well: Armor in Gothic isn't something you find or buy, but more of a testament of status. There are very few armors in the game, and all but... 2 I think are connected to a certain rank in a certain camp, so you receive the armor when you reach that rank, depending on which camp you choose. Armor isn't lootable even if you kill enemies wearing it.
Nope. If the computer doesn't meet the requirements, it doesn't apply.

I haven't seen anything go for 90% off, or $0.59 yet... Did I miss it?

Not sure any physicist, sci-fi author, or even armchair theorist thought of that unforeseeable and unfortunate side effect. :D :P

It would make a journey through time troublesome not only on account of a theoretically complex web of causality paradoxes, but also... unbearable on account of the general cacophony, when all things are declared "relevant." ;)

I don't know and can't be sure (having never experienced time travel so far as my linearly bound mind's linear awareness can tell): things might indeed become "relevant." (In which case, though, I think I just lost my lust for time travel. ;))

Would that apply to any irrelevance? Any irrelevant comment or even rant, for instance? :P

Also, my greater concern regarding my deeds would not be whether I'm doing something for the first time, but whether I am doing it at all! Or worse: whether I myself am doing it, rather than one of my evil twins from an 'altiverse.' Well, bloody hell, I suppose it's small wonder that a space-time continuum in tatters might dredge up an identity crisis in its tow as a side effect... (I must say I'm less and less inclined towards time travel. :))

However, kidding aside (or was that serious consideration of the [meta-] physics of time travel? I can't be sure, due to your announcement of all semblance of relevance breaking down and being doomed henceforth!),

So again, kidding aside (though not altogether and not for long), I think the fitting term iin this case -- one which would not imply or even invite irrelevant comments by declaring them relevant (as "all becomes relevant") :P -- and the one which I believe you meant to use, is relative, not relevant. ;)

I hasten to add that my comment was entirely and highly relevant, however! :)

Anyway, one can only own so many copies of "DX," and between hard copies and digital ones, retail and download, modded and unmodded versions, I own too many of them as it is -- and I cannot think of anyone else, male or female, kiddies or grown-ups in my personal circle I could offer it to, that hasn't already been given a copy of this classic old game.

(Which I even installed, set up -- in fact, even modded for them according to their preferences, in some cases, both out of friendship, and because I wanted to ensure as much as I was able, that they would end up enjoying and appreciating it as much as I did.

Even -- or especially -- at the expense of shinier, newer, but hopelessly idiotic titles; or hyped ones made by airheads bent on style over substance, looks over content; or ponderously dull and chore-like ones made by people who take themselves too seriously, but unfortunately lack the collective intellect to grasp either the truly serious or the truly humorous -- which in turn results in a messy mix of the tediousness and awful, painful, flat jokes of a Vegas hack entertainer, or the tired, impotent insults told by a guffawing imbecile, tirelessly repeated, ad nauseam [not "nauseum"], like "Your mother sucks dwarf c***! -- HA-HA-HA!" Groan -- after the twentieth time, that's all I had in me in response to that particularly witty bit of boredom: an annoyed, exhausted groan or growl... Damn those endlessly, mind-numbingly repetitive idiocies. Players really should be allowed to murder virtual characters that annoy them the most, don't you think? Just to shut them up and eliminate the most obnoxious bits. But I digress. Then again, let us remember: in my defence: during time travel, "all becomes relevant!" So don't judge me! :D Lest you be judged yourself, and found somehow lacking. ;))

So, anyone wants "DX?" (And maybe even past this sale, if I buy a dozen digital copies at a time, meant not for myself but as gifts for others, the gods of GOG might be gracious and generous enough in such a case to offer it at this time-travelling sale price -- after all, they did state that "time isn't linear!" ;) Sign up somehow, if you do -- let me know. The original is still worth playing above all subsequent iterations -- just finished the third one, "HR," and been both somewhat disappointed and annoyed by its game-, quest-, and achievement-breaking bugs and glitches, so... back to the oldest and original one.)

Nope, it hasn't happened yet. I would not be surprised if it was the last game.

Pity, I wish Arcanum had been the 2001 title.

This is reminding me that I need another computer with an older operating system, rather than the mutated abortion with a broken touchscreen where its eyes should be that I got stuck with.

So, final tally for DX?

Thanks for the clarification. Good to know.

I was right! Now, what do I get?

Here's a hand shake. Well done! :P

Looks like no love for Gothic.

6 hours, 22 minutes.

Not likely. Spelunky is in the promo E-mail and that is certainly a 2013 release, hence last game. It will have to be a $5.99 game and that makes sense since the sale is up to 90% off and $0.59 is 90% off of $5.99. Whatever the $.59 game is will fit both criteria.

Maybe everyone interested already owns the game.

Plus the lack of support for 7 and 8 is a drawback.

I would totally be on board with this if I weren't broke at the moment. Tis a good sale nonetheless.
