This feels like a serious oversight? Also I hope different instruments change the Bard abilities VFX and SFX.

    I assume those would be a pvp dmg weapon if there are. Like even if you weren't intentionally attacking people, it would just do passive aoe damage to everyone around you.. even friendlies

    I think we can all agree this is a must have instrument, particularly for us Dunir.
    If it provides any stats or mechanics is optional in my opinion, the astetics matter more.

    I've been supporting the idea of bard bagpipes for years. I hope Intrepid are thinking of including them in one day 🤞

    Make Dwarves Great Short Again.

    This could even work as similar cosmetic options, but the current VFX / SFX of bard skills just feel "slightly" too cheerful for a bagpipe troubadour.

    Most people never listen. They are just waiting on you to quit making noise so they can.

    I have listen to bagpipe Music in my Life and the overwhelming Majority of everyone who played them managed to make very pretty Music, though. ;)

    Personally not a fan of bagpipes, just sounds like a bag of cats being beaten to death to me. I'm all for options thought, so I'd vote to include them. Just be sure to include an option to let other people selectively mute bard instrument music.

    I find it interesting how bagpipes can fit into sci-fi and fantasy so easily.

    Another example is Amazing Grace by bagpipes at the end of Star Trek II: The Wraith of Khan.

    Scottish Games are held all over the U.S.

    Those guys know how to throw a party.

    Just do not ask how the food you cannot identify is made.
