GamerDad's Mark Saltzman reveals his rather realistic review re inXile's PC version of The Bard's Tale, for which he awards the Bard an overall 3 out of 5 star rating...

“A quest for Coin and Cleavage” – the quote found on the back of the box nicely sums up a kid factor for this title. It is clear that some adult themes will appear, but in general the game will tend to portray them from a humorous angle. While the content may not be appropriate for all families, I expect that most people will find the ESRB rating of T (for Teen) to be about right. While there is no explicit sex or inappropriate exposure, there are a few stereotypical over-endowed, under-clothed females around. However, this is somewhat mitigated by the explicit lampooning of most of the situations. For example, our intrepid adventurer meets a barmaid early in the game. During the conversation, the camera angle will occasionally begin to pan down towards the maiden’s rather ample bosom until he is sufficiently reprimanded by the bar maid. If later conversations with the maid are performed correctly, the game implies that they spend the night together. Nothing is ever explicitly shown.
