End of the world DRM-free sale

If you are looking to buy, their current holiday sale seems to run like most Steam sales, so it may be worth holding off on purchases until the end of the sale for a chance at getting more than 50% off.
I really want the Ultima pack. Is this site legit?
If I have to choose between Steam and GOG, and it is available on the both[1] I go with the latter and have not been disappointed.
[1] Generally yes in my case because I'm a crotchety old man who plays video games from before the dawn of time.

That said it's a great service and I've started buying from them again. Many (most?) of their games are just dos executables wrapped around dosbox, but what's nice is they get the licenses and sell the games cheap. It's also nice that many of the games are cross-platform.
What annoys me most is that it worked. They got a ton of attention for it, and pretty much everyone just forgot about their poor behavior. And now they've grown to a point where they're impossible to avoid if you want to buy older games.
I don't harbor a grudge towards them anymore, but it does depress me that this kind of lying is so effective and consequence-free.
I'm loving Baldur's Gate I and II right now, so here's a (potentially obvious) question: should I get Neverwinter Nights? Or are they significantly different from one another?
Same question for Icewind Dale too.
