Bard's Tale

Brand New Factory Sealed Retail Box

The Bard's Tale was the great-grandfather of modern-day Computer role-players. This updated version brings back the fun and adventure, as you play The Bard -- a hero who's only after coins and cleavage. Is a dragon attacking a village? He'll face it, for the right price. Has a princess been kidnapped? He'll save her, but only if she's hot. Comedy and fantasy action combine for a unique 3D role-playing experience!

The Bard's Tale The man known only as "The Bard" returns to save the world from the brink of destruction... or at least line his own pockets while trying! 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." 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. A truly non-linear game, the player chooses the Bard's responses towards other characters he encounters with either 'snarky' or 'nice' dialogue. A deep role-playing experience with non-linear game play resulting in many different outcomes and true replay value.
