At least on the c64 Bard's tale allowed you to import characters as the game series went on though, which made it somewhat easier. So grindy starting out though. Most warez copies of bt2 going around had some high level characters already on it (Elric name pops in my head, can't remember the others offhand) with high level items (sword of zar, arom's knife, etc) and you would start a new party and load one of these uber characters in to powerlevel the rest of the group a little bit to make them viable against basic (WANDER MAGE! BUG MAN!) exploring enemies, then removed them from the group for dungeon delving.

Those were such great games.

Dating myself here, but I actually used a book of graph paper to map out dungeons in Bard's Tale 2. It was fuckin ridiculous. The anti-magic darkness zones....then the anti-magic, dark, + spinners zones. What the fuck.


So fun though.
