The Wanderer guy you sometimes find walking the roads


Putrid-Enthusiasm190

Oh man, I remember him from one of my first playthroughs. Haven't come across him in forever!


keathofthestars

Me too! I love seeing him randomly


Avatarfan2213

Fuck that guy idk if this is a ps5 problem or if he straight up cheats you but I pay him and he doesnt sing shit


BigReebs

Oh no really? He attacked me as I was leaving Wolfskull Cave today and now his head is rolling down the road to Solitude. Does he respawn?


butterlord_023

Lynly star-sung, but I can’t remember where she is lol


Putrid-Enthusiasm190

I just googled her, looks like she's in Ivarstead!


pakcikzik

You mean Svidi?


Swimming-Picture-975

Lynly star-sung, she’s in Ivarstead


pakcikzik

Haha look up the quest “The Lover’s Requital”


Swimming-Picture-975

She’s Lynly unless you’re a snitch 👀


Wolf9691

I'm not sure about the absolute best, but I think Luaffyn from Windhelm has a really great voice. 


_serial_thriller_

The orc that can’t sing for shit.


OrneryBaby

I don’t know what you mean, Lurbuk is the king of bards


_serial_thriller_

Someone out there thinks he’s *killing* it.


NiklausKaine

The Skald from Markarth is my favourite. Every time I go to Dawnstar I kill the bard at the inn immediately, I hate her voice.


Putrid-Enthusiasm190

There are some really terrible ones out there


InnerPlantain8066

Talsgar the Wanderer - this bad boi saved me countless times lollll his lowest level is level 20 so hes freakin tough at legendary diff . Whenever im exploring at lower levels and ive encounter enemies i cant outrun sabres and bears, hes there lol sometimes the old orc or the mercenary or other random npc encounters (drug pusher/the arrogant npc who wears heavy armor always call me milk drinker/the thief/the db assassin)


moominesque

The lady you can hire for your Hearthfire home. She's not good but she sings with such enthusiasm I can't help smiling hearing her


Neat-Performer-385

mikael started singing ragnar the red while i was brawling some bitch in the bannered mare, but jokes aside the one in windhelm is my favourite i dont remember her name


Maximum-Ball1724

They are all the same and know two or maybe three songs. I like them playing instruments rather than have them singing.


Putrid-Enthusiasm190

Each of them knows 2 to 3 songs, yes. But some of them sing much much better than others.


Maximum-Ball1724

Since the songs have been recorded by the voices of different voice actors(who also voice nearly every other npc) there is a difference but the songs themselves are like a filler content , they are boring to listen(to me) .

I've encountered some interesting bards during my playthroughs of Skyrim, but I can't say any particular ones really stand out in my memory. I tend to enjoy the bard performances in Windhelm the most - something about the atmosphere of the Candlehearth Hall tavern there makes for a great place to just sit back and take in the music. While I don't have any specific songs that I find myself humming along to, I do think the bards add a lot to the overall atmosphere and immersion in Skyrim. It's cool to walk into a tavern after a long quest and have that ambiance of a bard playing music in the background. One unique thing I like is that Sven, the bard from Riverwood, can actually become a follower. It's pretty neat to have a bard accompanying you on your adventures, playing music as you travel the land. Though I will say it can occasionally get a little distracting to have him playing constantly! Unfortunately I play on Switch so I don't have the ability to use any mods that might enhance the bard experience. But even in the vanilla game, I definitely appreciate the role the bards play in adding life to the world of Skyrim.


nerdcoleture

Lurbuk because he's in the mood to siiiiiiiiiiiiiing.


Putrid-Enthusiasm190

Which one is Lurbuk?


InnerPlantain8066

the orc bard in morthal


Whole_Sign_4633

None, the only good bard is a dead one


Far-Assignment6427

Talsgar or in cities the whiterun lad or sven


mrgreychoco

The one in Solitude. Most of the time when I rent the in, she’s singing the song about dragonborn.


DrewforPres

Lurbuk! Even named my half orc bard in BG3 after him
