The Bards in Skyrim were cool . . . . they could be a real hit in ESO if they actually sing more than three songs a piece and if they had some instrumental tracks once in a while (which yes they did feature instrumental bards in Skyrim think Vilemyr inn in Ivarstead).

Also, quests that involve more than just retrieving lost song books or scraps of paper. Maybe you have to collect like 5 legendary instruments and put on a concert with your friends for a tomb to open up? Or maybe you have to make a melody with crystals at a certain frequency to solve some dwemer riddle.

Also, with bards it's not just about the music, juggling, acrobatics, stories, maybe some musical abilities that are actually useful like say War drums to make your allies better in battle, or songs with sleep charms, or something. I just think if ESO is going to be fully voiced it better not overlook the musical element and how much it could offer.

Thoughts? (PS thank you for reading my posts and responding, I had a little brainstorm today on things that would be cool to see in ESO, prob not at launch, but eventually).

How do you even know we will HAVE bards in ESO

I don't but Taverns will be awfully boring with no sort of entertainment. I guess this partially a plea to have bards in ESO also . . . http://elderscrollsonline.com/en/media/screenshots/535

Lol maybe this is your opinion of bards? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YKiAhTbpL4Y

This stuff is solid gold

A tavern or inn with no expected tavern/inn music is not complete in my opinion.

Support all the way.

I don't think there will be many bards. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if there were non at all. But who knows...

Maybe we will get an expansion centered around bards,)

I personally adore bards. Preferably with 3 to 6 songs per instrument(maybe dependent on region). Songs that give buffs...not so much unless they were available to the player as a profession or something.
