Also in this video:
THROWING is the main reason of existence for small races, bards, and especially small-raced bards. Also, Barbarians exist in solely to THROW allies.
Given that, I'm surprised we don't have more small race companions - they'd provide more opportunities for throwing! Yay!
Yeah, I picked up the same vibes (Bards are a joke, Halflings are for jokes/throwing, and Barbarians for throwing).
I'm kind of sad I didn't immediately come to the conclusion that this could turn into a new line of arguing for the inclusion of Halfling Companions.
Also, Swen explicitly stating he hates Fighters. I don't know, I just feel it's not the best way to promote your game.
And given that Swen hates Bards, and Adam says they're just a comedy Class, I guess I shouldn't be too hopeful about Larian giving Bard some love, and giving them more than just Songs for their Perform Action.
