I am going Bard. The companions themselves seem to be pretty heavy hitters and are pretty cool. So I think I am okay handling the chat and lockpicking while tossing Bardic Inspirations so they don't miss and some heals if they get knocked out.

Still debating if I wanna play a bow shooting Bard or go Lore. I love the idea of the Bard shooting the bow, but with access to Shatter and Dissonant Whispers, would I ever actually shoot the Bow even if I could? Dissonant is a downright nasty spell that does a lot of damage.

One thing I noticed in the early access...Long rest is like super easy to do and you can basically do it all the time and there doesn't seem to be any penalty to do it. It really seems like you only have to resource manage 1 encounter at a time, as opposed to need to have those charges make it through 3 or 4 hard encounters. If resource management mattered more, that would lean to more bow shooting
