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.

- o***f (737)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchaseFast 5 day shipping. Packaged well. Great Ebay seller. I will buy from you anytime. Great price and item is exactly as pictured and better than described. Thanks
- e***e (5)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseMy N64 system was packaged very well and arrived on time. Everything did not work at first, so I reached out to the seller of the system. They assured me it worked and it may be the games I had bought from a local seller and they were right. They guided me through how to clean them even (still not working though). But I got a new game from a local game store and it works just fine! Very responsive and would 100% buy from them again!

Not only did they share my concern (unlike some sellers who would dismiss you), but they checked around and, finding the missing disc, got back to me quite quickly with an apology and striving to make it right. I will DEFINITELY be purchasing from them again in the future.Assassin's Creed: The Americas Collection Xbox 360 All 4 Discs And Manual (#156904172391)
