Hey GOG, I know it's sad that Blood Omen 1 isn't on GOG. But there is still a way to play it on windows 10.

Using an openGL wrapper and HQ cutscenes the game plays flawlessly.

You still need to own the original game, either .ISO image or CD to install the wrapper, but once it works it's wonderful.

I am posting here as a mirror, just be sure to download the "Patch + Languages (voices & subs) + HQ Cutscenes + Installer" one and use your original disk.

Have Fun!

Thanks a lot, dude!

I have the original PC-CD with the german files! Do i have need the whole package or is the GL Wrapper file enough for playing it in german? Is all needed stuff on the orig. CD? Or am I missing something then?

Many thanks in advance! :)

This is very cool to find, thanks. I had found older patches that upped the framerate, but this one's more elaborate and improves the quality of the cutscenes and adds subtitles too.
