We'll lose our progress and be very upset.When we first launch the game, we'll receive a message that The Bard's Tale now supports autosave.
- 3This will open up the book.To get started with the game, tap the screen.
- 4For our purposes, we're going to get started with Bard's Tale by tapping "Start New Game". We will then have to choose the stats.We can tap on "Start New Game" or choose to play the original Bard's Tale trilogy, which some of us may remember from way back.
- 5Choose between "Easy", "Normal" and "Olde School". We'll choose "Normal".We should first choose the difficulty by tapping on the left or right arrow.
- 6We can increase each of them by tapping on the right arrow. Each time we tap on a stat, the bard will do an action. For example, when we tap "Dexterity", he touches his nose. For the purpose of a quick start, we're going to tap on "Auto-Allocate". If we prefer to do something specific, we should choose accordingly. We usually choose a fair amount of rhythm, charisma and luck and leave the others with a bit less.Choose the stats for the character.
- 7We should tap "Continue" when we're done.
- 8We can use a two-handed weapon, dual weapons, etc. We're going to stick with a two-handed weapon because that's the easiest one. Also, two-handed weapons are massive powerful weapons.We can now choose the talents of our Bard.
- 9We're going to skip this by tapping the arrow in the top right-hand corner. You can watch it if you wish.The game will then show the Bard entering the town.
- 10Now this women will offer to help him out, which will lead us to a quest. We're also going to skip this, but again, you can watch if you wish.We will then see an animation of a women yelling because she's scared of a rat, then our Bard will play some music to make the rat disappear.
