Let’s face it: Bard’s College in Skyrim sucks. Still, this one adds plenty of new songs that you can play in your trusty old lute. You’ll want to also install the Become a Bard mod, which is ranked as the #1 pick on my list (a bit further down). This is a must-have mod if you want to become a bard in Skyrim.Īlthough it’s not a standalone mod per se. Install them all (minus one or two that are not compatible with each other) and turn Skyrim into the dreamlands of any proud bard. You can actually play as a bard in Skyrim right now! All you’ve gota do is install a few mods that’ll make your bard experience feel more immersive than you could imagine.Īnd worry not friend – I’ve compiled a list of the coolest bard mods for your enjoyment. Thankfully though, we won’t have to hope that Bethesda adds them in the next TES installment.
I’m not sure why bards have never been incorporated as classes in The Elder Scrolls, but one thing’s certain: there are thousands of players who would absolutely love it – myself included! The Bard class is truly the one that got away in Skyrim.
