The Bard’s Tale 4: Barrows Deep was scruffy at launch – I used that word in my Bard’s Tale 4 review – but inXile has done significant work since. Case in point: this week’s Second Sight patch, which is a whopper.
It allows you to save anywhere in the game – halle-bloody-lujah! Previously you had to wait until you reached a Luck Stone, which was a pain in the arse if your game crashed, which mine did, over and over.
Arguably the biggest thing in the patch, however, is the ability to play the game in Grid mode, like the original Bard’s Tale games. As it stands, you free-roam The Bard’s Tale 4 and then phase to grid for battles.
