Bard is such a Swiss Army Knife. It is actually fun to play in BG3. In table top, Not so much.
Can't say I agree with that. I did a play as a bard and didn't find him particularly useful apart from the archery. You don't get enough decent spells at the early levels and I didn't really see any stand out bard songs (unless I was getting that wrong). He certainly didn't feel like the main man in the group.
