Tempest Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 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 Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NovaXpress Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 What version do you play? I tried the NES cart and hated it. I Googled "bard's tale weapon damage" and the first link seems to be what you're looking for, but it's for the Playstation version. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tempest Posted February 26, 2010 Author Share Posted February 26, 2010 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. Tempest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
