    Game Special FeaturesThe modern interpretation of the original Bard's Tale, the grandfather of all role-playing games, by the original producer Brian Fargo; a new generation third-person, action/role-playing game featuring wicked humor and clever personality; forget the quest to save the world, our hero is interested in just two things coin and cleavage; a deep role-playing experience with non-linear game play resulting in many different outcomes and true replay value; using the Snarky/Nice conversation system lets the players choose the tone of the Bard's interactions. Make your choice and live with the consequences; develop your combat party by summoning a group of eccentrics and misfits to do your bidding; brilliant graphics and bustling environments, alive with interactive townsfolk, original music, birds, animals, rustling trees, waving grass and trickling water, that immerse the player deep into the Bard's world; based on the storied land of the Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland - the inspiration for the classic fantasy worlds; driven by the next generation of Snowblind's Everquest: Champions of Norrath Engine.

    Bards Tale

    Created: 05/03/07
    This is a very fun and entertaining RPG. The graphics are excellent (although hardware intense), nice special effects and great game design. The one thing that really stands out about this game is the humor and off the wall things that go on. Things like a break dancing battle between skeletons and zombies, funny sing along songs (bouncing ball over words), the Bards attitude and above all the narrator and the Bard always arguing. This really made the game even more enjoyable and never got old. There is even the original Bard's Tale trilogy that i used to play on my Amiga 500 back in the day that is included on the CD's. Everyone who loves role playing games should definately check this one out.

    the bard's tale is only the second role-playing game (RPG) i was introduced to in 1988 by my younger brother who also introduced me to the Ultima series of games from 1 to 4 and i do believe that the people of Electronic Arts have made if not the best but one of the best RPGs of all-time.

    Decent but lacking in spots

    Created: 08/04/07
    I really enjoyed Bards Tale once I got into it. The keyboard controls are a little confusing at first but once you get them down it really isn't to bad. The story and graphics are decent as well as some of the cornball humor. For the price it's a decent buy.
