A class in Baldur’s Gate 3 is so fun that it’s even worth abandoning a running run for

In Baldur’s Gate 3, the Bard class stands out and offers players an entertaining run. MeinMMO tells you what makes it special.

What makes the Bard so special? The Bard stands out from other classes in Baldur’s Gate 3. Bards are known for their charming and entertaining nature. They are versatile, can deal a lot of damage and, above all, do one thing: support their team. A feature of the class is Bardic Inspiration, an ability that allows her to empower her allies with special benefits.

Always up for a nasty saying: As a bard, you also have a cantrip called Spiteful Taunt, which alone makes your run entertaining. Because every time you use the cantrip, you throw out nasty sayings and creative insults.

Particularly good in conversations: Thanks to the significant advantages Bards receive on Charisma-based checks, they are also perfectly suited to dialogue. Bards are master storytellers, which is evident in the game’s unique dialogue options – which delight many players.

The dialogue alone makes it worth playing a bard

What do the players say? Players who play the Bard in Baldur’s Gate 3 are raving on Reddit about the engaging dialogue the class offers.

A player says on Reddit that he previously played a villain whose dialogue options were rather serious. He started a new run as a bard. In contrast to the villain, he finds his bard character’s dialogue refreshingly funny. The dialogue alone makes it worth playing a bard.

Personal highlights from Bard players were shared in the Reddit thread, including the following:

  • You can convince the fish people, i.e. the Kuo-Toa, that you are the real BOOAL. So the worshiped god of the Kuo-Toa. The dialogue is supposed to be extremely funny.
  • As a bard, you can sing a duet with Alfira when you meet her and also at the Tiefling party.
  • You can sing along with the Mykonids in the Underdark.
  • Bards insult Nere in particularly nasty ways in the first act.
  • According to players on Reddit, the Dark Urge run as a bard is also very worthwhile. One person writes: That was my second run and it is still my favorite run to this day.
  • As a bard, you can even defeat one of the toughest opponents with a joke in Act 1.
  • And much more.
  • All in all, it’s exactly moments and experiences like these that make the bard of Baldur’s Gate 3 one of the most popular classes. So if you’re interested in experiencing the Bard’s unique dialogue, humorous interactions, and diverse options, it might be worth starting a new save.

    Or to start a second run after your first run. Maybe it’s even worth considering switching to Bard mid-run with Withers.
