[Urdnot_Wrex]

Fallout 3 is currently free on Epic (for another day), and Hero's Hour and Total War: Warhammer II are free on Prime Gaming.

I get a feeling this thread might become popular again in the next little while.

GOG opened up its Winter Sale with a giveaway of Ghost of a Tale (during the next 72 hours).

Ghost of a Tale is an action-RPG game in which you play as Tilo, a mouse and minstrel thrown into a perilous adventure. Through stealth and cunning you’ll be able to explore the secrets of Dwindling Heights Keep and navigate its dangers.

For anyone who hasn't played them (or just wants extra redundant copies on another launcher), the classic Fallout games are EOS's free games of the day. Highly recommended for RPG enthusiasts.

The Elder Scrolls Online is free on Epic. The base game, but still, wow (considering you can get addons later on sale).

I saw yesterday that ESO Plus membership is on free trial until Aug 3.
So if anyone got the free base game or even the full non-subscription access, if you go into the Crown Store in the UI, you can pick up ESO Plus as free trial and benefit from all DLC content like otherwise restricted dungeons and regions, Thieves' Guild, Dark Brotherhood, unlimited storage space for crafting materials... and it ends automatically when it's over, so there's no strings attached like turning into paid subscription.

Also, they have this good offer on Alan Wake 2 that gives you the remaster of Alan Wake 1 for free.

Dragon Age: Inquisition is free on the EGS this week.

https://store.epicgames.com/en-US/p/dragon-age-inquisition-game-of-the-year-edition-2f0cbd

We had some discussion about the game here, especially about its controls. @Cahir completed the game not long ago, picking the easiest setting (IIRC) just to experience the story. The story and characters are good enough to give the game a chance, especially for free.

Any Lovecraftian fans over here?

Dredge is free on Epic Store
