About this product

Product Information

Forget chivalry. Never mind saving the world. Just say "no" to <i>noblesse oblige</i>. Players enter 2004's The Bard's Tale with refreshingly simple motivations that the often underrepresented everyman adventurer can really relate to -- "coins and cleavage." In the role of the opportunistic, smart-mouthed, somewhat pompously disaffected Bard himself, players embark on a humorous, action-oriented misadventure through a classic medieval fantasy realm, based on the fondly remembered 1985 home computer game of the same title. Like the landmark original, this latter-day Bard's Tale was produced by RPG luminary Brian Fargo, and it is the first release from his inXile Entertainment studio.<br><br>The 3D game world is viewed from a top-down perspective, reminiscent of NeverWinter Nights, Dungeon Siege, or in particular, Snowblind Studios' Champions of Norrath: Realms of EverQuest; Bard's Tale was built on the Champions of Norrath engine. Players guide the Bard through the large world, exploring new areas and always on the lookout for a free meal or a "soft place to rest his head." While he is skilled enough with his sword, the Bard's true talent is in his voice. He can learn to use his special musical powers to summon a variety of able-bodied creatures that will follow along and help him in combat.<br><br>In spite of all the hacking and slashing that ensues, there is a considerable amount of <i>real</i> role-playing in The Bard's Tale -- not just stat-maxing and attribute improvements, but truly player-directed character development that influences the story being told. The game features a "Snarky/Nice" conversation system that allows players to choose the tone the Bard takes when speaking to different NPCs. Obviously, this can have a significant effect on their responses. Because the plot offers so many choices, with so many possible results, players will have to adventure through the game multiple times to unlock all its secrets and see everything it has to offer.

    Item was shipped very quickly and was in protective bubble-wrap packaging. It was the exact item in the post and as-described. The game installed and booted up flawlessly. The price was very reasonable for both the item and shipping. Overall a 10/10 buying experience, thank you!

    Item was 100% as described/pictured, honestly in even better shape than i could've hoped it's basically mint condition! It was shipped promptly and packaged very safely with a sliver of bubblewrap in the case to prevent the disc coming loose, very thoughtful and smart shipping! Absolutely love this item and couldn't recommend seller more! Absolutely well done! Thank you for the perfect transaction, great deal, and amazing item!
