Get out the cheesy lighting and gather your friends: there are a several scenes in The Bard's Tale in which NPCs break out into song. Some tunes are just for laughs while others offer helpful clues. The game's design document even calls for the classic yellow karaoke ball to bounce across the lyrics in time to the singing. The Bard's Tale is an RPG in which players take the role of a sarcastic musician and adventurer who's focused on carnal desires rather than noble pursuits.
