Bard's Tale Revisited

This press release announces the formation of inXile entertainment, marking the return of Brian Fargo to gaming, as he plans to revive his classic Bard's Tale RPG franchise. There is a preview of the new project on GameSpy, and here's a bit from the press release:

Brian Fargo, considered one of the early architects of the multi-billion dollar interactive entertainment industry, has returned to the world of gaming with a new company dedicated to bringing quality video games to the market. inXile entertainment's first title is based on one of the most highly successful original computer role-playing games (RPG) and number one hit, The Bard's Tale®. inXile will satisfy the original game's cult-like fans, who have generated a decade of frenzied rumors and web petitions, by creating a modern interpretation of the classic genre for next generation console gaming platforms and the PC. The name of the title will be The Bard's Tale worldwide (the final name is undetermined for the United States, pending trademark proceedings).

Forgot all the nifty super-high-poly 3072 x 3072 graphics and Dolby Digital/THX certified audio! Just give us a great story.

Can we have both? Pleeeeeeease?

Funny how some of us talked about the Bard's Tale a week or so ago, and boom, here's a sequel.

What do we really want to see sequels too, guys? Let's talk about it, see if it comes true!

As for a new Bard's Tale, shrug, going up against the likes of Baldur's Gate, Fallout series, and (for some) Temple of Elemental Evil etc. is going to be a pretty hard battle. Something tells me that the obliquitous

You see 24388 sewer rats. They attack!
Your Turn? > A
You attack the sewer rat for 11 damage. Sewer Rat dies.
You see 24387 sewer rats. They attack and hit you for 1142 damage!
Your Turn? > H
You cast heal for 700 hitpoints.

gameplay isn't going to cut it anymore, really.

Btw, Scara Brae, never thought about that, but I wonder who stole from whom? Richard Garriot, Ultima, Skara Brae or Brian Fargo, Bard's Tale, Scara Brae...
