THE BARD’S TALE is a hack and slash game for the xbox. It plays similar to the Diablo series or Champions of Norrath games, or Baldur’s Gate games.

What sets this game apart from the aforementioned games is that it is very funny and u will truly enjoy the writing and character interactions in the game. U can choose ur responses to conversation, whether u will be nice or sarcastic and snarky. Ur choice of words can affect the outcome of ur situation, making it better or worse, and resulting in either great rewards or a violent battle because u have insulted ur enemy. U are also able to acquire different gear and weapons that u can buy with gold u obtain from fallen enemies.
