My best Guess for Patch 6:
Bring in the Bard to party on the Early Access' 12 Month Anniversary.
Something more lighthearted in the face of so much Chaos incoming with the Absolutes trying to take over Faerun.
Bards will come in Handy and they will sing about your brave early adopters adventures
Allow me to be the party pooper. Someone's gotta be, right?
I predict BG3 Bards might not be quite as much the light of the party as in real D&D even assuming Wizards lose (as they must) their broken ability to learn every spell that makes a joke out of one of the strongest Bard abilities; Magical Secrets. This as a consequence of Larian's "anti-RNG"-mechanics like easier advantage, lower enemy AC, inspiration rolls, buffed Friends-cantrip, ever-present Guidance, Illithid Wisdom, ability to save-scum crucial rolls, etc. All infringing on the skill monkey/inspiration Bard.
