InXile Entertainment (founded by the original game’s producer Brian Fargo) decided to remake the game for modern consoles.
One is a drinking song, one is a ballad, and several others are variations on “It’s Bad Luck to be You”, which is a humorous song performed by three trow.
These songs alone make up for the lack of other music in the game, as they are very entertaining (although “It’s Bad Luck to be You” can get a bit repetitious).

 The Entertainment Depot - PC / Mac / Console Gaming : PlayStation 2 - Reviews - The Bard's Tale
Prepare ye, oh faithful RPGer, for what is quite probably the most entertaining RPG story that you've ever come across.
The game's dialogue is also quite entertaining, not to mention flexible: you're given choices in various conversations to either ride the high road or be the sarcastic persona that defines the Bard.
However, InXile has focused on that which many other games tend to overlook, in that the overall experience can often outweigh the individual weaknesses that might otherwise detract from the title.

The Adrenaline Vault has seen fit to review inXile's first Action/RPG title for the Playstation 2 platform (and upcoming PC release) with not a lot of good to say about it, citing the game as one suffering from conventional adventure and lacklustre gameplay.
From the looks of things, it was probably a very bad idea for inXile to remove the 'superfluous' components like equipment management.
