About:
You play as the titular Bard, a roguish, manipulative and lewd songster whose priorities in life are the acquisition of material wealth and carnal pleasures. The Bard's pretty sarcastic by nature, but you get to decide just how scathing he is by selecting 'Nice' or 'Sarky' responses. Watch out you don't get too cocky though; folk you've upset may come back to haunt you.

During his raucous adventures, the Bard recruits a motley band of eccentrics and misfits to help in his ignoble cause. Enemies can be defeated using traditional or magical weapons and you can also use the Bard's dulcet tones to summon creatures. If you're tired of saving humankind or bored of games that take themselves a bit too seriously, The Bard's Tale could very well be for you.

When I run The Bard's Tale ARPG - Remastered and Resnarkled version 2.2.a I get the missing dlls error:

XInput1_4.dll

API-MS-Win-Eventing-ClassicProvider-L1-1-0.dll

api-ms-win-core-sysinfo-l1-2-1.dll

I copied and pasted these dlls into the root folder and it didn't work. :facepalm: I have slow internet and I want to leave this warning to anyone who has slow internet + Windows 7: Don't waste time downloading the remastered version, it unfortunately won't work. :(

Note: Strangely, the GOG page states support for Windows 7. Is GOG lying? Yes. Because the "XInput1_4" dll only exists in Windows 10, and the Windows 7 version uses a version below that which is not compatible with the remastered version. The other dlls relate to C++ 2015 and I have the 2015-2022 x86/x64 version installed on my system, so I don't know what the hell happened for this error to appear.
