Official description

A truly non-linear game, the player chooses the Bard's responses towards other characters he encounters with either 'snarky' or 'nice' dialogue. Each choice changes the course of events in the game. The action takes place in medieval times in a land based on the Orkney Islands off the coast of Scotland the inspiration for many of the classic fantasy stories.

Description

A legal loophole allows InXile Entertainment to use the name "The Bard's Tale", but it is otherwise unrelated to the original series.
