Set your own fair price for the classic Divine Divinity, where you become the chosen one, destined to fulfil an ancient prophecy and save the Seven Races of Rivellon.

The top 10% of our most generous users will also grant themselves an early access to the upcoming Divinity 2: Developer's Cut.The Developer's Cut, which is the ultimate edition of the game, comes with Divinity II and the expansion Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance, as well as a special developer's mode and extra goodies, will be available on PC on the 18th of October, 2012, but if you buy it here you will get to play it a day earlier than everyone else! The "Director's Cut" subtitle also means, that you'll have the unique opportunity to experience the game just as the developers did: with optional access to developer console you'll feel like the god of the realm.

But that's not all! All of the games come with an extensive amount of goodies--especially Divinity 2: Developer's Cut features a crazy amount of bonus materials (all of which you can access as soon as you finalize your purchase). To make things even more interesting, Larian Games told us that as the sales progress, they will be releasing some very special announcements and interesting videos. Heard enough? Go to the GOG Pay What You Want: Divinity Anthology page!

Balgin: Hey guys, disturbingly I'm not seeing any slider on the screen. More recent versions of Internet explorer don't support Windows XP so for some reason I'm forced to view the page in compatability mode and there's no slider visible. I can click and get a typing cursor next to the big button for payment so I suppose I could make a purchase that way. Just thought I'd let you guys know that the page doesn't seem to be displaying correctly for internet explorer 8.
Can you install another browser, like Firefox or Chrome? I realize not everyone can due to administrative restrictions, or would want to due to reasons of their own, but I figured I'd ask.

CowboyBebop: Will the Hi-res versions have different system requirements?
The current GOG version of DD and BD support Win98, XP and Vista/7 (with some potential compatibility issues), though at least the DD installer requires XP or later to run (I already had a couple disk copies of BD, so didn't get the current version on GOG). When Larian re-did the higher resolution support and compatibility fixes for the Steam / Larian Vault release of DD, they dropped support for Win98 (the same is probably true for BD, as well).
Other than that, AFAIK there were no changes that would increase the system requirements.

ShadowWulfe: The early birds get the worms.
Apparently showing up four hours later, like I did, meant that still relatively early birds got the shaft.

I already own the first two games but I have no desire to acquire free codes for games that will be lost amongst the torrent of other free codes whenever I would actually have the time to pursue some kind of trading option. Would have been nice to have seen their base discounted sale price taken off of the full Anthology price once the top price was reached, if you already owned either of the first two titles, just as you would see during normal Promos. Why even bother buying Divinity II now for a whole $1.99 off, when I can just wait for the normal 50% off almost everything Holiday sale coming up in two months?

I guess from now on I need to start waking up before 6am PST to get ready to check GOG so I can actually get in on anymore of these kinds of Promos before they become worthless?... :|

I just found out that I have another 2 versions of Divinity 2.

I bought the vanilla version of D2 a couple of years ago from Steam, for 20 euros.

Then a few months later, D2: Dragon Knight Saga was released. Instead of releasing it as an expansion, Larian decided to release it along with a renewed, expanded version of the vanilla D2. Furious, I waited until last Christmas when I got it for £7.50, and then found out that I had both versions in my Steam library, i.e. the vanilla version, and the new vanilla version with the expansion, i.e. the same game twice.

And now they're releasing an even newer version that contains everything. I already have, and even more crap.

I'll probably get it when it drops to 1$ or when GOG gives it for free some time 10 years from now.

This business with the unlock slider and beat the minimum was cute back when it was cute. Now it's kind of gross. I predict Telltale themed hats for The Witcher 3.

This is a absoulutly wonderful idea for a promo but, I already have 2 of the game and don't intend to get beyond divinity. If it was any other game series I'd be throwing change at the screen.

Kind of tempted to pick this up at the $18 that it's sitting at for the time being as I only have Divine Divinity myself. Then again, I don't exactly hear Beyond Divinity having praises sang about it in comparison to the first game so I'm not particularly interested in that and would only be paying for Divinity 2.

Ach, I don't know. It sounds like a good deal at face value but a look at the first several pages certainly makes it clear that it was a far better deal when the the promo first appeared and that's something that really irritates me. It's not even that much later from when it began but the rise in price is quite large.

Plus I actually imagine a substantial portion of the community here own the first two already and would be paying for Divinity 2 with only $2 off the pre-order price so a part of me questions how reasonable the various goals for additional "unlocks" are. There's a whole week to prove me wrong but I wouldn't be surprised if the more interesting unlocks at 45,000 sales and above weren't met.

All the same, I'll keep my eye on it and see if the price drops a good deal. Otherwise I can honestly see myself completely skipping this on the basis of the "first come, first serve" scenario that irritates me so.

Not really it's actually cheaper now(17$00) than it was 9 hours ago(only about half an hour of the announcement it was 17$99),

Hmm, I am tempted to pick it up for the 17, even though I already own DD on gog, and a physical copy of dragonknight saga

NightK:
I believe there was a point where it was ~$10.

I still ended up getting it, the soundtracks are nice, plus the whole event was a pleasant surprise (for whatever reason I didn't think the offer would be on GOG).

The title of the news should rather be GOG Pay What You Want : Divine Divinity.

I'd be interested in a DRM-free copy of Divinity 2...but at how this bundle is set-up I'm just better off waiting for a sale. Already own the other 2 games on GoG...maybe if this gets lower, but I'm kinda disappointed in the whole mock-PWYW setup.

I see what you mean, If the price would fall a bit more, you could see it as a sale on D2 and pick it up that way.

Pretty much. I own a copy of DKS, so getting it again would just give me a DRM free backup. The other two games I purchsed on GOG when they were first made available though, so that's not really a factor in the bundle.

Maybe when I get paid the price will trail down farther...we'll see.

Seems like people are enjoying this, and it appears to be paying off (although, as somebody else mentioned, the numbers do seem optimistic). Only thing that concerns me a little is that GOG might start "overdoing" it on what, afaik, started as a Humble Bundle thing. (Of course, this could end up becoming the norm all over the internet, and be as standard as regular pricing.) EDIT: Or to put it another way, I wouldn't want to see GOG just try to jump on a successful short-term bandwagon that may not last. (like the games industry seems to do with genres when one title becomes mega-popular, like Call of Duty...)
