The answers yes! play this!! it's very good, not that long (30 hours-ish, if you're going for everything) and very funny!!! One of the few comedy games that actually made me laugh out loud all the way through. Mechanics are also pretty good, game can get a little repetitive at times, but I played as a generalist to experience everything, so a specialist build would probably let you get through combat better. The dialogue system isn't like a morality system btw, you chose your ending from a list after defeating the final boss and you can save before picking to see them all, so just pick what you would like to experience at that moment. I'd also suggest ether playing on Easy or Hard, as Normal felt more as a compromise than the intended experience. Also, it has the previous PC Bard's Tales games, IDK if I'll ever play them, but it's cool they're included. It's now one of my favourite original Xbox games, that I wish I played when it first came out. Highly recommended.

The Bard's Tale ARPG is a classic, early 2000's adventure with humor embedded throughout. Cary Elwes voices The Bard and does a very good job laying down the sarcasm and witty jibes. The legendary Tony Jay serves as the story's narrator. He regularly delivers clever banter with Elwes and takes humorous jabs at our sleazy/roguish protagonist. While the combat shows its age, the humor continues to hold up nicely. Nostalgia combined with a better understanding of the adult sense of humor, made me grab a copy. I recommend it to anyone that wants a good laugh or enjoys a more lighthearted Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance, styled game. For those that like to play on controller, use a community template to get close to what the original controls were. It you experience any lag, run the game in a borderless window or adjust the resolution (which worked for me).

Such an old but gold game, it's cheap but incredible game, an amazing experience from beginning to end.

6/10

At this point in time, it doesn't start for me on Windows 10. I'm pretty sure this is a good game, but since it won't start, I do not recommend buying it.
