For me, the only crucial stat for that purpose on non-casters is constitution. Instead, you roll a character to emphasize stats that are important to have as close to 18 as possible as early as possible, along with good starting hit points. Thus, when generating a character, it is not crucial to re-roll for 10 minutes seeking that perfect roll.
What this means is that, ultimately, all characters will have 18's across the board. What is different about this game than most others in the genre is that, on each level up, a character will increase one of the five stats by 1, randomly picked from those stats not already at 18.

He is destined to take over Gelidia as the new God of Magic.īard's Tale 1 character generation involves the now-expected random rolls of stats on a 3-18 basis (here, there are five stats plus hit points). She is destined to take over Arboria as the new Goddess of the Elves. Talia, a Female Elven Wizard, who will become the party's Chronomancer during the third game.She is destined to take over Tenebrosia as the new Goddess of Deception, Illusion and Trickery. And yes, she's partially based on Ariel of Disney-fame. She is destined to take over Lucencia as the new Goddess of Love and Beauty. He is destined to take over Tarmitia as the new God of War. He is destined to take over Malefia as the new God of Evil. Zarathos, a Male Half-Orc Fighter, who will become a Geomancer during the third game.He is destined to take over Kinestia as the new God of the Dwarves. The guide is embedded with Youtube videos of my playthrough, with those videos accompanied by my explanations of what is going on and what decisions I am making.Īs for my party, I designed my Heroes on the basis that they could be solid contributors to combat with the monsters during the gameplay itself, and yet also become credible members of the next pantheon of the gods at the conclusion of the trilogy. For those with fond memories of the originals, there's also a Legacy Mode that allows you to play each game according to the specifics of the original game prior to the Remastered versions.Ĭombat will require some explanation, so I have a separate page for it here. Sometimes items available in the first and second games would not import to the third, but now they do. As another example, the first game required you to keep a special slot open for summoned monsters whereas the second and third games allowed you to have seven created party members at a time instead of just six. For example, all three games now have an auto-mapping feature where previously only the third had one. Secondly, the game itself is an attempt to harmonize features across all three games instead of the incremental addition of features that you saw from first game to second and third. Although there is, in my opinion, quite a poignant story in the third game.
The first two games in particular are straight hack and slash, with not a lot in the way of story. And being a dungeon crawler, it does not have the joinable companions with backstories and the complex stories and morally complex choices that games of the new millenium constantly strive for. That is to say, it is a first-person dungeon crawler that will reward endless grinding for those who have the patience for it. There are some things worth noting about the Remastered version of the trilogy.įor starters, it still plays very much like the games of the early history of crpgs. It is now available on either GOG or Steam. The Bard's Tale Trilogy Remastered is a remake of the classics by Krome Studios that was initially available as a stretch goal for those who contributed to the crowd-funding of Bard's Tale 4.

Although fans of the series would argue that its contribution to the development of crpgs over time has been just as important, and they were just as fun to play as other more famous series. The original Bard's Tale trilogy, released within the same time period, is often overlooked. When one looks back at the earliest history of computer role-playing games, the Wizardry and Ultima and D&D Gold Box games are the most well known and celebrated series.
