You have to collect your party first! Fans of classic role-playing games will know this exclamation, but today, for once, they can let someone else do the work. Because Humble does the collecting for you and has put together a remarkable bundle of some really awesome old-school RPGs.
You get a total of 6 full-fledged role-playing games in one package and pay around 20 dollars for them. In addition, the package also includes a discount for the roguelite Myth Force and two DLCs for the Enhanced Edition of Baldur’s Gate.
These role-playing games are included in the current Humble Bundle
Our pen and paper master and old-school RPG expert Fabiano gives you an overview of which games you can get and what to expect in them.
Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous
Our expert says: If you ask me, the Humble Bundle is worth it just for this game alone. After all, Wrath of the Righteous is the youngest representative in the whole package and one of the best role-playing games in recent years. On Steam, this RPG masterpiece usually costs over 40 dollars. But you also get one of the most extensive role-playing games ever. As a commander, you lead an army against the demonic hosts of hell and discover the powerful, mythical powers of your own hero. Wrath of the Righteous features an epic story, lovable characters, and a wonderfully deep character system.

Neverwinter Nights: Complete Adventure
Our expert says: Unlike most other classic RPGs, there’s no partying in Neverwinter Nights – apart from a lonely hireling companion. But that doesn’t change the fact that one of the best fantasy stories that can be experienced in an RPG awaits you here. This is initially about the healing of a disgusting plague, but soon a larger intrigue unravels. Neverwinter Nights may look a bit old-fashioned graphically, even in the Enhanced Edition, but it offers more action and is still being expanded thanks to a lively modding community.

Baldur’s Gate 1 and 2
Our expert says: With Baldur’s Gate it all started for me. These games really got me interested in party RPGs. Although these classics are now many years old, in my opinion they can still be played wonderfully today. In addition to a few graphic improvements, the Enhanced Editions also brought new content, but the true strength of Baldur’s Gates lies in the story anyway. Here you will meet more exciting characters than anywhere else and be confronted with decisions that will keep you awake for more than one night. In detail, it is about the journey of a fatherless foundling who is first on a vendetta and then on the search for his destiny.

Planescape: Torment
Our expert says: Torment translates as much as agony and that awaits you in this game as well. Well, at least if you’re lazy to read. Because Planescape is a peculiar beast. A role-playing game that confronts you with more text than some novel series. Some may not like this, but others will be intellectually satisfied here like no other PC game. Planescape impresses above all with its profound dialogues and ideas. It asks questions I’d love to know the answer to. It sucks you further and further into its strange world, as otherwise only a good book can do.

Icewind Dale: Enhanced Edition
Our expert says: Icewind Dale is a bit of the complete opposite of Planescape. Because while you primarily relive an exciting story in one, Icewind Dale really gets down to business. This role-playing game focuses on strategic battles that you fight with your self-made party. And while I prefer well-told stories, sometimes I just feel like well-designed fights. Icewind Dale has a clear focus and always knows how to motivate with new challenges. And let’s face it, DnD wouldn’t be as popular if its role and combat system weren’t convincing.
