Baldur's gate 3

I've never really understood bards. It's just not my style of gameplay I suppose.
I've watched a few minutes and saw bards could insult the enemy to impact their psyche (throw penalty I assume), which I found original. It could be cool, if it's done with taste, which seemed to be the case. It's not trash words or anything completely vulgar, but more what you'd expect from a witty bard.

Agree. I did find bards pretty good in Kingmaker though. I remember them being useful for their skill boost ability and buffs. The fascinate song at level 6 is pretty good too if you can get your DC high enough - it basically takes care of all the trash mobs so you can just focus on the leader/boss.

Good to know, I should try. Pathfinder is the only ruleset for which I didn't try bard, because there are so many classes available. Or I was not really using Linzi's full potential when I took her in the party (which was not often), just basic abilities.

I'm reinstalling the dang thing, all 100+ gigabytes of it. Probably no point to doing so, but I want to see if what Silver said about it running better holds true for me. 
Edit: Still runs like hot garbage. I think the game says you can run it with 8gb, but that's not true. Not yet, at least.

Just that first chapter is over 100GB now? Wowza!

Probably the main reason I can't run it for shit. Lots of unoptimized textures, I'm guessing.
Damn that is a lot of disk space for this kind of game. I think they did a pretty poor job on optimising DOS2 as well. It was 63GB according to steam! I think that is a lot given that the graphics weren't anything special!
But by the time it's released everyone will have 5 TB SSDs so it's fine

I wish those drives are expensive and not getting cheaper. 2TB is my limit.But by the time it's released everyone will have 5 TB SSDs so it's fine

It may be another case of a "full-content demo" (where they're currently at, anyway) because it's too complex to isolate the assets of chapter 1 for just an early access.
Current requirements specify 150 GB, probably a good educated guess from their part. Of course when they mention that, it's not counting the space needed for the updates, so you must at least double that on Steam. I hope Larian will split this huge file they had at the beginning, I don't want to download 70+ GB for each update again.

Right, I liked WolfheartFPS trying to tackle this recurrent problem of the DOS3 syndrome, and not without humour. I only watched the beginning, the later part of the video is a comparison between the 2 systems.
