The problem is the poor animation. No Mercy came out 12 years ago and looks better because the animation still holds up along with the tight gameplay.

It's an RPG with strategic elements. The world isn't open, your base acts as a hub. From there you can do several sidequests. Leveling up gives you only 1 attribute point at a time, and 1 skill point. So it isn't very deep. The combat is, however. You use the goblin for stealth and 1-on-1 fights, the orc can be used as a tank and he can take on multiple enemies at a time. The graphics are beautiful and moody and the voice acting isn't all that bad either. The main characters do a great job, though the other characters could use some work at times. Now, it doesn't sound all that exciting, but the game hardly explains anything to you, so you have to figure things out yourself when you start the game. It's a great feeling when you beat bigger groups later on. You learn to use them in your own way; it's not as straightforward as you might think, since there are several ways to use these characters in combat. Also, there's very little loot. Occasionally you'll find a chest or receive an item, but that's it. This is no Diablo or Torchlight. It's a (mostly) story driven game.
That's about it, I think. I'm having way too much fun with it at the moment
What era? I think you might be confusing the old CRPG/Dungeon Crawler Bard's Tale with what's on sale now, which has nothing to do with it. The newer Bard's Tale plays like the Baldur's Gate or Champions of Norrath games for the PS2. If you can stand or like the humor it's a decent enough, if kind of mindless game.
Oooh. OK. Well, carry on then. I know nothing about the old series besides having to draw your own maps for the dungeons.
Too many publishers don't put up games until release.
Beyond that I really don't understand why they don't put things up for pre-order.
Ah thanks
Sorry if my question wasn't as clear. I'm much more interested in stealth titles, and would probably play Dishonored that way too.
Whether you want to murder everyone or not, ofcourse.
Or blink to a roof and hide for a few minutes, assuming you didn't set off an imbecile who never ever stops firing his gun. Ever.
