You must own Baldur's Gate and currently have it installed on your PC to play. However, Tales of the Sword Coast is not a new chapter in the saga of Baldur's Gate; rather, it is literally an expansion of the game world which increases the number of areas available to explore and adventure through. Because of this, Tales of the Sword Coast is played within the Chapters of Baldur's Gate. If you have not completed the original game of Baldur's Gate, you will notice very little difference initially after installing Tales of the Sword Coast. New adventure areas will become available, but you will have to find them first. If you have already completed the original game, you will start adventuring with your last save game file (and party) in the town of "Ulgoth's Beard", having traveled there from the city of Baldur's Gate. The new adventure areas can be accessed through Ulgoth's Beard.

  • Ubisoft to Publish Inxile's Bard with a Funny Bone
    HEAR YE, HEAR YE: UBISOFT TO PUBLISH INXILE‘S BARD WITH A FUNNY BONE UBISOFT STRIKES A HUMOROUS NOTE AND A DEAL TO PUBLISH THE BARD‘S TALE Paris, FRANCE œ January 10, 2005 œ Ubisoft, one of the world‘s largest video game publishers, and interactive entertainment developer inXile entertainment jointly announce a new European publishing deal for The Bard‘s Tale ™. This action-role playing game (RPG) with a twist has been developed by inXile, founded by industry veteran Brian Fargo, the creator of the original The Bard‘s Tale . The terms of the agreement give Ubisoft exclusive publishing and distribution rights in most of Europe ® for the PlayStation ®2, Xbox and PC versions of the game. The title is expected to hit stores this March. Set in medieval times, the player takes on the role of the Bard, a sarcastic, self- centred musician whose adventures are motivated strictly by —coin and cleavage“ and who has absolutely no intention of following noble pursuits if at all possible. As he interacts with the other characters throughout the game, the player can choose whether the Bard uses ”snarky‘ or ”nice‘ dialogue, with direct consequences on the events to follow. Renowned film and television actor Cary Elwes ( The Princess Bride, Robin Hood: Men in Tights ) provides the perfect British voice for the English version. Although humour is clearly the defining feature of The Bard‘s Tale ™, a great deal of attention has also been given to the plot and game rendering. Built on the superb engine from Snowblind studios used for Champions of Norrath ™ and Baldur‘s Gate: Dark Alliance ™, the game uses the popular top-down view method of gameplay, and benefits from excellent graphics and sound.

  • Game Design by Numbers
    Game Design by Numbers: Instrumental Play and the Quantitative Shift in the Digital Game Industry by Jennifer R. Whitson A thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Affairs in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Sociology Carleton University, Ottawa, Ontario © 2012 Jennifer R. Whitson Abstract This dissertation chronicles ideological, technological and economic changes in the digital game industry, focusing on how games are transforming as play becomes instrumentalized. It pays particular attention to the struggles of developers as they search for creative freedom and autonomy in a risk-averse industry. It makes original contributions to the literature on games by situating and explaining industry-wide shifts in terms of the socio-economics of game development and the rationalities that drive individual developers. It contributes to social theory more generally by explaining how transformations in play, games, and creativity are linked to much wider adaptations in the operation of capitalism and how it is justified to both workers and consumers. I use ground-level accounts from those within the game industry to describe how new media technologies interact with socio-economic forces, detailing the adaptability of capitalist modes of production in the face of critique. I show how definitions of 'games' and 'play' are changing as they come into contact with technology, allowing games to be reformulated in powerful new ways, so games are not only tools of entertainment but also tools of governance. I argue that the collective valuation of objective quantitative data and the belief in the fallibility of individual creative autonomy has turned game design into "design by numbers".
