Larian Studios Forums Baldur's Gate III Baldur's Gate III - Suggestions & Feedback I am disappointed with the current take on Bards as musicians only.

Great point which I really wanted to also to touch upon...
I feel bards are Musicians SECONDARY to their main expertise which can be so many cool archetypes. Larian has made musicianship its MAIN career it feels like.
In RPG games like BG2 & comp. I like making my custom Bard into an <Elven Piper>. A dual-wielding spy/assassin who mainly uses magic for defense (no offensive magic allowed) only and He/She uses his voice or instrument to charm enemies or creatures to do its bidding or to give out information.
