I put this off months ago when I saw the graphics. Today I started playing and immediately hooked.

This is one of the First and Best Classic Dungeon crawler games Ever ! it has all the Classic Elements of the Dungeons and Dragons mechanics, this brings back so many great memories from it back when no maps and saves anywhere were available ! talk about hard core you could die in a Random encounter or trap and loose a huge deal of time and progress ! not to mention i would draw maps on squared paper so as not to get lost.

Checking back in. I went back and played BT1 and I managed to beat the burger easter egg. I needed 3 monks with -39 AC and I before I started the battle I had my bard play lucklaren. That helped the fighters survive the first wave of spells thrown at them. In the 1st round I stacked another lucklaren and 2 anma spells from my casters to make sure. I had all my front line guys defend and I had my rogue (slot 4) hide. This gets you through the entire 1st round of combat without any damage and at that point you are free from concern about future magical attacks.
2nd round, I continue to defend (probably overcautious at this point, but it worked.) and I had my bard increase party AC with Traveller's Tune. In round 2 I had my spellcasters throw out a couple MIBLs. That will soften the group up and put you in a position to begin weeding them out.
Round 3, the fighters finally get into the action. I kept my bard hidden and just attacked with my 3 monks. I also let my bard wreak havoc by using his frost drum on the groups. This continues for a few rounds.
Between frost drums (frost horn, whatever you want to use), MIBLs and your monk attacks you wipe out the first group with nary a scratch. And you get some very nice XP and gold for your efforts. But don't get complacent. Those sneaky Tarjan Priests have another 4 groups of 99 up their sleeves and the 2nd group is rougher than the first.
However, if you've got -39 AC on your front three and your roque is adept at hiding, you are golden. Your long-term lucklaren is still playing so you get the benefit and therefore manage to avoid the first wave of spells that this new group will throw at you and the melee attacks can't touch you. Repeat the early battle steps from before, stack Lucklaren and a couple ANMA spells, then in round 2 throw on a Traveller's Tune to beef up your AC so they can't get in a lucky shot, and you pretty much have it in the bag.
At the end of the 2nd battle you get MORE AC and Long Green, and the Priests, in an attempt to salvage their shattered dignity admonish you to NEVER say that word again.

This game is a lesson for future devs on how to remaster a very old game. Keep it as original as possible with optional QoL improvements.

[yurikendal]

If leveled high enough in bt1, rouges could disarm chests traps for free and at the very least, even in legacy mode, critically hitting from shadows is amazing in of itself

[jnuk]

I have fond memories of the original 1985 release on my Atari ST, lost many weekends playing this.
Seriously considering this Trilogy, and re-living this classic. The visual changes look good too.

[dennisdicicco]

I owned the first from the interplay bundle cd from the early 90s

[dennisdicicco]

There was a glitch for gold, where you make new partys and then trade all the gold to one character then import that character into a new party. Over and over. Best equipment, then easier to storm the castle

[thesnare]

There was also a bug (I'm guessing) in the original Bard's Tale (I hope this doesn't have), when you were say a 10th level conjurer or magician (whatever level you needed or past it to cast the maximum spell level of that class) and switched classes to a new one, it would treat your spells as if you were a 1st level caster and not take into account your levels as your previous class, So I noticed my dragon breath and starflare and shock sphere spells were repelling off creatures as if I was a 1st level conjurer or magician again, same with wizard and sorcerer

[warlockjmn]

Thanks so much! Cleared up my questions.

[mewmewsasfirebell]

I don't know where to go or what to do. I've leveled enough to prevail over almost any threat, but what's the objective here.

[Trendle]

just got this game, been playing 2-3 hours, i keep dying over and over, love this game but wish it was a little easier for the newcomer, the encounters seem WAY too hard, its crazy

[rayhottinger]

does the remastered Thief of Fate have the glitch that the original game had where every time you walk into the Tent where you gain levels with a 1st lvl character you get a level and a half? the wind oger counted as a 1st lvl for the purposes of the glitch.

[Trendle]

i cant even run away 80% of the time, i dont know what to do, icant even make it to the temple

[soulrebel]

I find it hard navigating the 1st town

[Trendle]

i need a party of about 30 i figure just to survive, this game is ridiculous
