| | Brian: Too often games rely on some overarching plot to entice people to want to play their games. | | | Brian: I think the summoning system is something that players are going to enjoy playing with. | | | Brian: Currently we can play the game from beginning to end with relatively few bugs so now our jobs are to balance the game and polish it. |

| | Brian Fargo: The Bard's Tale was my first real big RPG hit so it seemed appropriate to launch inXile around a game by the same name. | | | Brian Fargo: The Bard's Tale is an action/role-playing game with gameplay similar to Baldur's Gate Dark Alliance 2 and Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, but with humor and personality at every turn. | | | It was the first first-person dungeon game that had color, music, and animation, and it really captured the essence of the old-school role-playing games. |

| | Fargo’s new studio, InXile, licensed Snowblind’s Baldur’s Gate: Dark Alliance engine to use for their new game. | | | And rather than a simple remake of one of the old titles, this Bard& is a complete rethinking of not only the original games, but of the RPG genre itself. | | | Okay, that’s probably the longest and most convoluted run-on sentence I’ve ever written in a review, but you get my point. |
