Bards Tale Question


Tempest

Recommended Posts

I was getting ready to go back and play The Bards Tale series because it's one of my favorites, but one thing has always bothered me. How can you tell which weapons do the most damage? With the armor you can see your AC go up and down, but without trying each weapon out a few times and taking the average of the damage on the same type of monster, there's really no way of knowing is say a Kael's Axe is better than a Dayblade. You can sometimes go by prices, but that's not always a good indicator (some of the staffs go for more money but they're obviously weaker than a sword).

 

Has anyone looked into the game code to see what the hidden damage attributes are? This page has a nice list of weapons, but not the damage they do. http://shrines.rpgclassics.com/pc/bardstale1/weapons.shtml

Avoid the NES version, it's horrible and missing much of the content. I always play the Apple II version because that was the one I had as a kid, but the Amiga/ST/IIgs versions are probably the best (all basically the same).

 

The Playstation game is a completely different thing.
