The Bard constantly points out throughout his quest, that he feels annoyed by the fact that he has to go through long dungeons facing hordes of enemies before facing the boss, as he would very much prefer to get it over with by just fighting the boss right at the beginning of the dungeon. The Bard rarely makes any friends thanks to the way he treats and scams people. Perhaps the Bard’s plot is more realistic than that of Zelda in the sense that very few humans would actually put themselves in peril without expecting anything in return. The Bard’s faults as a human being are many, luckily the sarcastic narrator never misses an opportunity to point them out. Unlike Link who unselfishly risks his life to save Princess Zelda every time out, the Bard will risk his life for Princess Caleigh only because she promised him many riches and well…herself to do as he pleases.
Woman and Money are his primary goal through the game. To start as I said before the plot is simple, you are the Bard, a total jackass and an opportunist, who will not miss an opportunity to score some cash and some cleavage. It’s a parody of general RPG conventions and therefore it will appeal to most RPG fans, hard core or not, there is something about the humorous dialog in this game, that will probably make everyone laugh. No it’s not that the plot is complex and full of shocks like Alundra’s, the thing that makes the Bard’s Tale plot fresh is that the game is to Zelda (and other RPGs) what Space Balls is to Star Wars. The Bards Tale is a weird game… in an era where every action RPG not named Zelda or Kingdom Hearts sucks, The Bards Tale is a welcome breath of fresh air, for one reason alone…its plot. An Average Action RPG That Is Worth The Price of Admission Thanks to the Jackass Protagonist
