That fucking boob armor

Getting another quality blobber would be great, but after reading what Fargo's said about it (and keeping in mind the mediocrity of Wasteland 2) I'm doubting this will become one .

Also remember Fargo created all the games Interplay published:

 

[Metro]

I'd buy that.

@woodygar @OldeSkuul Bard's Tale IV without the original team is not a good idea in my opinion.

Btw, some press using images from comedic The Bard's Tale for their coverage. Some people are really exciting to see a sequel to that.

 

[Jedi Master Radek]

Fargo:

We have such plans to dial up the atmosphere for the Bard's Tale. I really am excited to get this baby going.

 

[agris]

Holy shit, she's really raising up a stink.

holy shit the chesticles on that model are insane.

 

[Zorba the Hutt]

Heineman's taken a couple of hours to go from pretend-joking to passive-aggressive to direct... this has some drama potential.

 

[LESS T_T]

@burgerbecky @OldeSkuul ive seen a few people tweeting Brian asking for your involvement. Game Industry people not old fan boys like me.

@woodygar @OldeSkuul Who was asking for my involvement? I would love to be a part of it.

In before change.org.

In before change.org.

They could just make hiring her the 2 million dollar stretch goal.

 

[Roguey]

Fargo, Fargo, Fargo, you know how this person gets, you should have foreseen this.

@BrianFargo When do I start?

Rebecca Heineman ‏@burgerbecky 3h3 hours ago
@woodygar Interesting, since the team that did Bard's Tale IV at EA works at @OldeSkuul , I find it odd that we weren't contacted.

Rebecca Heineman ‏@burgerbecky 3h3 hours ago
@Mecandes @BrianFargo @MikeStackpole We also have @JennellAllyn the designer of EA's Bard's Tale IV.

Rebecca Heineman ‏@burgerbecky 3h3 hours ago
@Mecandes I'm more surprised that @OldeSkuul wasn't approached already, after all, look at who we are!

@Umbersona @BrianFargo Cut content? I'm not sure what your comment is saying.

Rebecca Heineman ‏@burgerbecky 16m16 minutes ago
@Umbersona @BrianFargo I've got a draw full of folders with design docs. But, I was able to put EVERYTHING I designed into Bard's Tale III,

It is going to be interesting watching how this plays out. Fargo better throw her a bone before the SJWs hear about this.

Prob nothing in them though, seeing as how she's a flat-chested dyke.

She can be the 100 million stretch goal.

Bard's Tale 4?



Cardbased combat?

 

[Metro]

It's not going to be card based combat. Are you people that dense?

Spoiler

If somehow I end up being wrong I trust Infinitron will delete this post and hide the evidence against me.

It's like that thing Anita Sarkeesian was talking about!

 

[Onholyservicebound]

I'd prefer if they innovated it by making it isometric and not a blobber, as opposed to taking inspiration from Hearthstone of all things. Can't complain though, if the game's trying to get that old school Bard's tale feel it clearly isn't aimed at me.

Cardbased combat?

Card based combat doesn't necessarily mean you use cards in combat. It could be a traditional interface where the cards are drawn and played behind the scenes and only show up in the combat log, like how you don't actually roll a die in D&D-based games.

Clearly it isn't. It's marketed towards actual old school gamers not poser tweenagers who weren't even born when the original trilogy came out.

Indeed, your studio has you that only worked on the third installment, and you pitched a four entry of the franchise to EA being this an action RPG. I'm scratching my head to try to comprehend why the guy that now owns the IP and was responsible for the entire franchise, with his own team of veterans and new developers, hasn't aproached to a bunch of nobodies that feel entitled because you've made a shitty prototype for a non released game.

Don't lose hope, though! I'm shure if you keep this type of speech a lot of SJW will demand for her to be stretch goal, and if not, Fargo is a fucking misogynyst and the game will represent the opression of the patriarchy.

Go fuck yourselves.


In times like this I would like to have a twitter account.

Card based combat sucks even in p'n'p rpgs.

 

[Metro]

Please tell me where he says it will have card based combat?

She's actually not talking about that god-awful ARPG prototype, but an actual cancelled Bard's Tale sequel by EA that was in development in the early 90s. Bill/Becky wasn't involved with that one, but some people at her company apparently were.
