The four major classes of weapons are sword, flail, dirk (dagger, a really pointy knife), and two-handed. There are four major styles of combat here, defined by which weapon class is being used. An example would be when creatures called Peerie Trow come up and sing, "It's Bad to be You" when a corpse is being looted.Ĭombat in this game is a mixture of ranged and melee combat with a smidgen of magic tossed in for flavor. Every so often, parties around the bard introduce a new song. The best song is the beer song in the tavern, which I think will be entertaining to everyone. To go along with the characters' thick brogues, the music has a very Scottish feel to it. The music is moderately well done for this title. The combat animations are great, and the cleavage is well-rendered … I mean, the characters are. With the summoned creatures, I found this game to be very similar to Diablo 2. The particular view is a little disorienting, but enjoyable in combat. Graphically, this title is beautiful, with lush green forest and grass. Considering the fact that the narrator is voiced by Tony Jay, this is to be expected. Their exchanges left me in stitches, since both have a great sense of timing and can pull off great banter. The narrator is not only the guy who fills in the gaps in the story, but he also argues with the bard. There is one other character lacking the brogue that permeates this game, the narrator. Sometimes, there can be a better response by being rude or nice, depending on the character. Conversations in this game are handled by cut scenes, with the bard selecting certain responses by choosing the "snarky" or "nice" option. The bard, voiced by Cary Elwes (star of "The Princess Bride"), has a more refined accent, giving the impression of a traveling outsider. Everyone in this game besides the bard speaks with a thick Scottish brogue.
