It seems Bard's Tale 3 can be played on the DosBox emulator:

... which is available for many platforms, including Windows and Linux:

although the latest version of DosBox seems to be from 2019, so maybe others can suggest a more actively-maintained emulator.
DOSBox-X is a port that is actively developed and has many features missing in vanilla DOSBox.
There are a few other ones as well. DOSBox Staging is one. Magic DOSBox seems to be the most popular on Android. There is some iOS port as well.
"DOSBox Staging" is such a weird name for that fork / continuation.
That sounds promising. Do they also have a "compatibility by game title" database?
