To put this thread back on track again... :notrust:
I'm really happy to see these games on GOG. The Gabriel Knight series is unique with its mature and complex storylines and the first part is my favorite. None of these games are perfect, of course. The first has some annoying pixelhunting and not really logically obvious puzzles, but otherwise it's well made.
Arcanum is also awesome, but indeed very buggy. You may need to install one of those fan patches to maximize the enjoyment. Many quests are too broken otherwise. Also, realtime combat is too hectic while turn-based is barely a challenge after the first town. Still, the depth, the atmosphere, the setting, they all make up for it. Very enjoyable, sometimes hair-pullingly frustrating, sure. Oh, and don't forget to spread your saves over multiple slots. Sometimes the save files become corrupted...
