Bard's Tale 2 playthrough by girldrinkdrunk1
girldrinkdrunk1 has posted another playthrough. This one is the complete game of Bard's Tale 2: The Destiny Knight.This is a complete playthough of a classic computer RPG. The party was
imported from the previous game (see playlist 'Bard's Tale 1: Tales of
the Unknown').
To import a party from a previous game using dosbox, mount the game
directory of the previous game as a floppy drive.
Example (assume dos games are in c:\dos) -
mount c c:\dos;
mount a c:\dos\bt1;
This should enable you to access characters from the previous game in
the disk options.

Bard's Tale 1 playthrough by girldrinkdrunk1
Sorry that I haven't been updating this section of the website much. I've been focusing on other things and haven't played Bard's Tale in a while. However, I did come across this little tidbit that I thought I should share: girldrinkdrunk1 has posted a complete playthrough of Bard's Tale 1 on YouTube. To quote:This is a complete playthrough of a classic computer RPG. Things could
have been done more efficiently in retrospect, but it could've taken
longer.
With the benefit of hindsight, I would probably delay entry into
Harkyn's castle until I have both spellcasters with mind blade (probably
grinding for exp after getting tough enough to solo/duo the catacombs

The Bard's Tale: Won (at last)!
From the CRPG blog...Well, my roller-coaster journey through The Bard's Tale is over. I know my postings on this game
have been a bit schizophrenic, sometimes seeming as if I liked the game
and sometimes as if I hated it. If so, then the posts are accurate,
because that is exactly how I felt.The game is challenging from
the very beginning, thrusting you into a Skara Brae full of monsters in
which the difference between survival and death depends primarily on
luck. Run into some kobolds and you'll make it; stumble into a house
with six barbarians, and your level 1 party is history. The game became
more stable once I started dungeon-crawling, and ...

Bard's Tale: Intense Dungeon Crawling
From the CRPG Addict blog...I had hoped that I would be
able to announced that I had won The
Bard's Tale this weekend, but I'm not even close. I finally just
finished mapping the first dungeon of four levels; at least, I hope it's
only four. I nearly didn't find the fourth level because getting down
to it involved (d)escending through a pit in the floor with a levitation
spell in effect. The pit was barely visible, though.As you can
imagine, the monsters get tougher the lower the level. I'm finding that
spellcasters are my worst enemy. I routinely run into parties in which
there are 12 or more spellcasters in three ...
