The Bard has a reputation in Dungeons & Dragons at-large, let alone Baldur's Gate 3. Stereotypes would tell you that it's a class for silly little guys, only played by those with a penchant for seducing dragons and getting themselves into trouble. Sure, they're not immune to becoming badasses—like one Scanlan Shorthalt from Critical Role—but they often do so in a subversive way. Underdog extraordinaires, rather than leading roles.
The dialogue options given to Bards in Baldur's Gate 3 often play the same tune. Funny flirts, jibing comments, insinuations about a certain devil's sexual performance. You're meant to be the fast-talking scamp. However—due to some certain tweaks Larian made to the College of Swords Bard (and a few busted items), it's, well, kind of a monster.
