The Bard's Tale is an action/role-playing game in which the player takes
on the role of the Bard, a sardonic and opportunistic musician and
adventurer, driven by carnal rather than noble pursuits. The Bard is not
interested in saving the world, his humble motivations are strictly coin
and cleavage.
A truly non-linear game, the player chooses the Bard’s
responses towards other characters he encounters with either 'snarky' or
'nice' dialogue. Each choice changes the course of events in the game.
The action takes place in medieval times in a land based on the Orkney
Islands off the coast of Scotland—the inspiration for many of the
classic fantasy stories.
• The modern interpretation of the original Bard's Tale, the
grandfather of all role-playing games, by its 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. Play the role of the Bard as he gets swept
up in a harrowing adventure that proves too much for countless chosen
one but hopefully not for you.
• Use the Snarky/Nice conversation to pick the tone... be a jerk or
show some class. Your attitude will affect the events that unfold and
create a personalized experience for each player.
• Develop your combat party by summoning a group of eccentrics and
misfits to do your bidding—sixteen summoned creatures in all.
• Features brilliant graphics and bustling environments, alive with
interactive townsfolk, original music (with singing), 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 Studio's Everquest: Champions of Norrath™
Engine.
