Man, I hope these goals get met, I wanna be the spooniest bard of them all.
But, I do like the fluff being such that one could be a ba-- chanter, and have it not be too silly.
And my two issues with MotB I think had pretty much everything to do with the game not being able to mess with FR lore, and not much to do with the writers, in that at the end...
But aside from those issues, it felt really solid, and George seems like he'll be a real asset to the team!
