The bards tale iv review5/31/2023 I played 1/3 of the game and then i realized there is teleport through special areas! I played 3/4 till i figure out what those offerings were, and half of it till i understand that there are special shrines to "upgrade" certain items The bad parts. Did i mention the music and songs? You think the vendors will give you better gear later on? Nope! You think you can sell everything ? nope! choices matter, purchases matter, sales matter, when you fill your inventory think well if you want ot clear it or destroy items.There are not so many apples!!! That's what i thought till i played it second time. I am surprised a game like this hasn' let me stuck at all in corners or stairs etc. The chat between your characters even the mercenaries is fun! and it exists (considering so many new games dont have more than 2 lines.) You will have so many things unanswered you will play the game from scratch again.! You will realize that a game without jump or speed/jump is better for rpg, no-action rpg is a pure rpg perhaps? but yes.use your brain not a trye to cheat jump a road or obstacle. You will search all the game to find materials for certain food or weapons. You will have to read poems and text in order to solve puzzles and riddles and unlock abilities You will have to make compromises and put your characters back and forth and change them skill sets and whole setups and armor and weapons. In general Bard's tale 4 tried to bring back the pure experience of old pc-rpgs, It reminded me King's Quest and Ultima IX The best of this game are You will return on the same areas to discover more things as more abilities are unlocked. The music, the "not so well dressed for the occasion" bard and listeners video while loading a game, the battles, the story, the reminder that many "quality of life" scripts in other games is a plus if they dont exist in this game.makes you focus to important parts. I still remember the first phrase in one of the trilogy "As i lay down and die." Grandpa bard's tale was gone for years, few times i did install it and tried to play again, who has time nowdays to write down maps and so on. The second and third, midway i was so busy rl, it was the first game that i hexedited a save, a hobby that i kept and loved. The second and third, midway i was so Yes i am 40+ years old.
