Bard’s Legacy Interview

RPGDot has posted an interview with Jon Starnes, one of the people behind the development of the Bard’s Legacy titles. What are they? Well, for those of us who played the original Bard’s Tale games, they are two games, one two-dimensional and one 3D, that are being created in tribute to the original Bard’s Tale. Being a huge Bard’s Tale fan back in its prime, I’m glad to see the game being revived:

RPGDot: And the inevitable question for the combat system: Are there random encounters or fixed spots for the monsters? Will they respawn ? Is the combat system in general more sophisticated than in the old games?

Jon Starnes: Each monster will only appear a “set” amount of time, so no respawning. We are very dedicated to immersion and realism, which precludes the “respawning” of just destroyed monsters. There will still be plenty of random encounters AND set encounters. Don’t worry about not having enough to hack down.
