So InExile is kickstarting another RPG: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/inxile/the-bards-tale-iv/

The Bard's Tale 2 was my first computer game back in 1987 and damn if them putting the map up from the original game on the kickstarter didn't give me feels. Damn I am old and easily manipulatable. Anyway anything Obsidian or InXile kickstarts is going to get my support anyway. If you feel the same or just hate having money or whatever feel free to donate.

I spent way too much time with the first one. Not to mention graph paper mapping the damn thing.

Yeah man. Each map was its own game.

The Witcher games can be obtained for a few bucks in sales nowadays.

I'm intrigued by this kickstarter, I'm a sucker for old school dungeon crawlers but never played any Bard's Tale game.

Wasteland 2 is getting a GOTY edition/patch (many changes e.g refined combat) which should be free to download to all who already have a valid Wasteland 2 key.

So Wasteland 2 then. I had planned on buying it anyway but I know there are alot of Witcher Fans on this board. I generally do not care for RPGs without parties but I thought maybe I might give them a shot someday.

The Witcher games are amazing, it's just that they can be bought for much less than Wasteland 2 nowadays.

Loved the call back to the song from the beginning of The Bard's Tale. Also wow they are really playing up the Gaels stuff. I bet the Gaels would have won the Battle of Harlaw with those kinds of magical powers.

I remember playing BT3 back in the day, but not fondly enough to be interested in a remake.

Fair enough but I don't think there is going to be much of a resemblance :P

It's more that it was a "game I played", rather than a "game I loved".

Give me an Ultima X, on the other hand...

Um dude there have been a ton of Ultima games being kickstarted and so forth. How many do we need?

The answer is: one good one.
