So you hate bards, another one hates wizards or rogues. If every class, someone hates would get cut from the game, it would be a very boring game indeed. I hate Minsc, but he is shoved at us in every BG game (from what I saw even in this one), so nothing to be done. Just don't use a bard companion, if you don't like them, like I don't use Minsc, problem solved. Btw I find barbarians and monks not even a bit interesting - tastes vary
