I think Bard Quests should be involving making performances throughout the land, either by solo perfomance or band performance with NPCs. Successful or fail is depended by Speech level and perks. It is like mini game, the objective is to attract as many NPCs to watch the show. It is for economy too, how much we get paid is depends on how many who watch and enjoy the show. 30% of the income will be contributed to the bard College who train us. The more famous we get the more famous the College is. And we can get higher rank in the college.

In higher level quest, we must perform in front of governors, Jarls, Kings, Queens, elites....higher reward or higher failure.

So, in the game, there must be stages for us to make performance.

In solo performance, we sing, play music, recite poems, juggling and whatever on our own.

But with collaboration with NPCs it will be tricky, we must choose the NPCs, some NPCs are good, some are bad, it is like matching game, until we get the good NPC performer, it will provide challenge. Succes and failure of the performance also effect the NPCs skills up and down

What say you guys?

I say they could have done more with the Bard College I think it really only had three main quest to it maybe some side quest it was really short and I would like to learn how to a flute or something. If you have a pc I know they have mods out there that will do the job.

Why joining the Bard College if we don't actually become a bard but a mercenary?

Bethesda should look in depth about this

I want to play lute, flute, drum....i want to juggling in Whiterun, acting, doing circus, doing magic trick...ect....as a bard

I'd go further and say there should be a Bard class/skillset. Calming or enraging beasts with a lute or drum etc.

If you ever heard me sing, you would be glad this is a single player game.

not everything have to be related with combat....in Bard case, make it non combat, but for fun....we live in the world right?

a Dragonborn should not be always serious...must know how to make children laugh....

Well you can't be as bad as the orc bard.
