However, even without the promotion it looks like I can still get what I really wanted (BGI&II plus expansions) for $20, so my question now is: I assume you would not be linking this site if it was chock full o' viruses, right? My guess is that concern is why I did not already download the games (since trying to create an account just now revealed that I already joined at the height of my BG replay craze last January. 
) Additionally, is the whole thing a download, or do they physically ship things like the manuals and reference cards? If the answers are "no" and "yes" I suspect I will soon be hacking my way through Durlags Tower again, and you will have my heartfelt thanks for the tip. Too bad it looks like they lack Mechwarrior 3 (the best of that series, IMHO) 'cos I would really love to play that again.

But yes, it's entirely safe and reliable, and you can download manuals, reference cards, etc. separately in addition to the main game. In the case of BG, having the physical manuals might have made the maps rather more useful (the font of them is seriously too tiny to read), but that's a small enough quibble.

I got BG1 and PT... BG1 is surprisingly hard, or maybe that's just me.

Yeah. There aren't high-level abilities, you have less HP, less magic equipment... *NM*

Not a fan of actually having to roll HP dice, either... that just forces you to save and reload. *NM*

You can do multi-player offline if you do not wish to wait for NPCs.

The big thing that annoyed me was attacks/round and dual wield on rangers.

Interesting. I'm a fan more of classic high fantasy like Baldur's Gate, but...
