infinite ability to flee can backfire horribly.The Bard's Tale IV: Barrows Deep is a 2018 dungeon crawler video game developed by inXile Entertainment as a continuation to The Bard's Tale trilogy from the 1980s. This is actually a great example why "giving the player what they want" i.e. When the player skips fights, they just fall further under the power curve. (Speedboots and Sir Robin's Tune, while short-term enjoyable for the user, are awful game mechanics for what it's worth. Then again, later on you're more dependent upon spellcasting, anyways, so perhaps it doesn't matter so much just as long as your rogue can hit. The more you skip fights early on, the more you won't be able to hit your enemies later on when the games assumes you've got 30 in every attribute. Your best bet is to equip Rings of Accuracy and some other to-hit boosting items, run the Traveller's Tune, and get in fights in Unterbrae and Arboria. Unfortunately, if you're level 100 with 20 in everything, getting those ability scores up will be slow going. Attributes matters a ton for hitting and the game seems to be balanced with the presumption that you'll have a 20 in Unterbrae and go up from there. While you import at stupidly high levels, your attributes are still only 18 when you've transferred into BT2 or 20 when you've transferred into BT3. So here's the problem, and it's twofold based on how you're running your game it sounds like. I'm not sure if the game is designed to be this way but from reading other threads they seem to hint that this is how it goes. To beat the bosses, I had to keep reloading a save until my thief scored a critical hit for 1dmg to insta kill the few combats I needed.Īll my fights are like this: miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, miss, crit 1dmg dead. I practically cleared that entire game without getting into a single combat. Originally posted by charliechuckleberry:In BT3, you get a bard song that allows you to avoid ALL encounters. Now I got a slight idea of what each option means (basically full transfer, moderate - which seems random as hell and starting from scratch with excellent stats)ġ) What is the best way to experience the game, especially for a person playing the trilogy for the first time - Going for a full reset? Or transfering over the existing party, with all the experience it has (Ive finished the Baron's castle and my chars are level 22-ish, with my casters being level 13 in Magician, Conjurer, Sorcere, and 12 in Wizard) - I think the intermediate option is not even a good idea.Ģ) In BT 2 what are the levels of the starting monsters? If you go for a full transfer, are they leveled up to be a decent challenge? Or they all start at level 1 and you basically just faceroll the game if you have a high-level party transfered from BT1 ? And I've read in the manual about Character Transfers. Hello! I am close to finishing the first BT (Volume 1 of the trilogy) for the first time.
