The Bard's Tale IV - Brian Fargo On Bringing Back The Bard's Tale

Having successfully brought Wasteland back to life with the help of 61,920 of its closest friends, Brian Fargo and inXile Entertainment are turning their attentions to another classic RPG – The Bard’s Tale.

Fargo: If you remember, back in the day the dungeon crawler used to be the biggest RPG category – Might and Magic and Wizardry and all those – and it’s always been near and dear to my heart. [...] I love the tightness of mapping things out, and being teleported and put in dark areas and all that. [...] We like to torture you just a little bit. [...] And the ones where the players can blame themselves are even better – they pushed on, knew they shouldn’t, paid the consequence. 

You’ll need to wait until the start of June to see it in action unfortunately, since inXile still finishing up their presentation for the Kickstarter, but it’s a fully 3D world of both indoor and outdoor locations that looks like a 3DMark demo. 

Fargo also speculates about incorporating Oculus Rift. Whaa?
