mkreku Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Yesterday I finally got the damn game from eBay. Apparently I had used an address that was five years old. I have moved since, but the Swedish Postal thingie found me anyhow. I find that strangely comforting and worrying at the same time. Anyhow, I'll probably try installing it later today (after work.. and gym.. and looking at naked girls on the internet). Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!

HoonDing Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 Soon your Orc molestation escapades will begin. Only to be turned into mush by the very first Ogre. The ending of the words is ALMSIVI. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted October 20, 2009 Share Posted October 20, 2009 First ogre is easy, they're so slow, but that first troll...sheesh. I used to hate Mines because the beginning threw one with two orcs on me. And one of them was a bloody archer. They're tons easier with the barbarian character though, once you get the hang of him(olol), since you'll have to learn to dodge anyway as a two-handed weapon specialist, and dodging is the key to those bastards. Hell, dodging is the key to mostly everything. Except perhaps golems...brrr... kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaguars4ever Posted October 20, 2009 Author Share Posted October 20, 2009 WTF, WTF, WTF?!? How do you beat the vampire dude? He like inflicts damage on you somehow when you smack him, and then he disappears and smacks your ass where you can't see him! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Musopticon? Posted October 21, 2009 Share Posted October 21, 2009 Both his shield and his weapon drain your health. Don't worry about the guy, I was stuck on him for about a week when I first played(naturally didn't try to beat him constantly though). He is hard for everyone, so here's a few tricks: 1. Give him a wide berth, but stay close enough that he won't teleport. All the attacks he does are life-drainers, so watch out. 2. Start by first estimating how quick a reaction time he has, then choose a long combo attack, say, the Dream, if you've dragged the Elf Sword until Isle of Karum that is. Now try to time the combo so that the final slash connects with the Vampire. If you start a combo from far away enough, he won't react, won't go into defensive stance so to say. 3. Continue this until his health starts to drop, watching that your progress isn't wasted by being drained dry of blood. 4. Once you get him down to a certain amount of health, he starts to teleport constantly. Don't panic, learn to do the "back attack" combo beforehand. It's a life saver here, with good timing you'll hit the bastard once he reappears behind you. Alternatively, you could either a) throw a weapon against his shield until it breaks and then combo like mad until he drops or b) run around and try to kill him by simply doing the back attack everytime he teleports. I've killed him at least with plan "b". The life-draining sword you got from the previous level is also handy here. Give it a go. And, should you find that sword lacking, there's the knight's newest(and so far the most powerful damage wise) weapon inside the dark tower where you are right now. Load a previous save and go look for, if you haven't found it yet. Above all, don't give up. Karum is probably my fave levels, but the ones after it just as good. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food.

fadhli Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Okay! I managed to get it installed by tricking it (thanks to compatibility manager) into thinking it's XP SP2 rather than 98 or ME. Now, I've downloaded the OpenGL raster as well. But when I fire it up, I can see the opening movie...but then a black screen and crash to desktop! And to add insult to injury, it spits out an out of memory message & c++ runtime error! C'mon resident techies. Show a little severance for your fellow forumite. hello, just recently tried to install BOD on my Windows 7, successful to install but then same problem with that you'd described above. Had you found the solution to this. Really want to paly this game. TQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorgon Posted March 22, 2010 Share Posted March 22, 2010 Maybe it's what it sounds like, a version of C++ runtime libraries which isn't backwards compatible anymore. Or any of a millon other things. Na na na na na na ... greg358 from Darksouls 3 PVP is a CHEATER. That is all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morgoth Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I managed to run this on Win7 (with the OpenGL rasterizer), but the second I saw the game ingame, I quit and uninstalled. You gotta agree it's really ugly. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You gotta agree it's really ugly. Don't be a graphics whore. It's almost 10 years old, and was pretty decent looking for the time. Regardless, BoD is about its awesome sword-fighting gameplay, not pretty-boy dolled-up looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morgoth Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 I rather wait for Hunted: The Demon's Forge. It's the closest thing to Severence we'll get. Rain makes everything better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
