The Bard's Tale Preview

Brian Fargo (formerly the head of Interplay) has officially announced that his new game development company, InXile, is working on a new Bard's Tale game for the PC and PS2. To follow up on this announcement, GameSpy has posted a three-page preview of the RPG. Check it out:
"We are re-envisioning this series to try to fill a hole that we see in RPG games," Fargo said. "We want to focus on the moments that will be memorable, while having fun with a lot of the old RPG conventions. We think this will be an RPG that people will want to play, and we would have made it whether we were able to get the Bard's Tale name or not." As fans of the old games ourselves, we'll be watching this title closely to see if it'll be worth singing about.
