Do bards have to type in the lyrics of what there singing? If so can we use RL songs? Just imagine a elf walkin round singin jackson :)

Please don't sing songs that exist in RL. It'd kill my fantasy roleplay-underdark geek buzz. Write your own stuff. It'll be much more rewarding for everyone and yourself.

As to the question, do you 'have to' compose lyrics? Well, no. You can just click the bard song button. But, it'd make your character more interesting if you added some stuff to the clicking and little music note animation above your character's head.

yea but then itll look like they're lust singing "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee" and seriously ELF SINGING JACKSON!

Seriously. No. You can hotkey some emotes for the Bard Song option like [boisterous, uplifting battle-roar] for mid-combat Bard Song action. Or you could emote: [EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE]. Anything is better than RL music being used IG.

k.

Bardy McElf: "Crawling in my skiiiin."

Metro_Pack Orcs...orcs will tear us apart again. :(

im kinda more partial to

MC Bard's "Nahh nah nah nah- nahh nah- nahh nah, cant touch this" Tune... would be the shortist living bard of all time XD

None beats Rissi the ex bard....

GO GO MIGHTY RISSI! :D

There is nothing wrong with re-writing a RL song--provided the lyrics/style/context change it markably. It is wrong to assume that players have to constantly create new and original works. The simple act becomes time-consuming 'homework' otherwise.

That being said, original work is more rewarding, no question.

word by word songs are lame, and, though ooc, should be greeted... songs, which were changed, or completely original should be appreciated... (i, for once, will pay such a bard, with every of my chars... a good one will get magical items as well)

You know bards don't have to be prissy flower men who run around singing and entertaining folk. They can be axe wielding mofo's dishing out some serious pain and jamming some cool rythems mid slice.

Songs just don't translate into nwn.

Yeah but i would love to see a bard singing Encore by Jay-Z/Linkin Park.

"Encore, do ya want more? cookin' raw with the brooklin boy. So for one last time i need ya'll ta raw... WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU WAITING FOOOR! After me, there shall be no more so for one last time nigga make some noise"

We need rappin bards man...

i have just one thing to say:

Tierd of being what you want me to be... feeling so faithless, lost under the surface.. dont know what your expecting of me... put under the pressure of walking in your shoes.. every step that i take is another mistake to yoooou... and every second i wast is more than i can take!!!

i've become so numb i cant feel you there become so tierd so much more awair im becoming this all i want to do is be more like me and be less like you!

awsome for EfUs setting "lost under the surfce" and its depressing :D

As i said:

Can i get a Encore? Do ya want more?

songs just dont translate into Nwn,

numb, by linkin park.

no.

there one word answer

and dont butcher my IC experiance by having any charactors sing along with that mix that should have been put down and never spoken of again. IMO jay-z is the worst thing that ever hapened to Linkin Park but thats off topic

though something i would like to try out one day is the concept of sticking an electrically charged rod into a lute coupled up to a small horn to change the sound (Electric lute any one? :P)

yes, JZ is the worst thing that eva, eva happened to LP but i think he is retar- urm i mean retierd.

Electric lute o.0, your ideas interest me and i would like to subscribe for your magazine.

i have another idea, the worst Evanescence song ever

Dont cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me you want me come find me make up your mind

should have let you fall and lose it aaall some day maybe you can remember yourself can keep beliving were only deciving ourselves and im sick of the llliiiiieee and your too late

Dont cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me you want me come find me make up your mind

couldnt take the blame sick with shame must be exhausting to lose your own game selfishly hated no wonder you cheated you cant blame the victom this tiiiime and your too late...

Dont cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me you want me come find me make up your mind

You never call me when your sober you only when it goes its ovvvereeerrr its oveeeeererer how could i burn here over how could i yoooou never mind

Dont cry to me if you loved me you would be here with me dont laugh at me just get your things i've made up your mmiiiiiiiind *slight chuckle*

and no i have nothing better to do then post lyrics

I met a cool char concept of a bard with the ego of a paladin, and had the honor to fight him (arena, 1 hp left after battle, hihi)

Bards are awesome chars, RP them with honor! Also, prepare your songs, or right them while battle.... Wizards are not supposed to shoot arrows in a normal battle (I always miss that party in many good movies =S ) and so are BARDS!

Bards should concentrate on the battlefield. Why not singing of the battle it self, or Storying it (making it a story).

"ohh missed the balls, the shamans, with his jolts how rude it was, the fighter becuase he parted, yes parted, the giants head! the good guys are alive, the evil is dead!"

later on you can look at the log file and (would be good if I knew how you can do it by click) and print screen it, perhaps page it all?:)

Since we were all new at some point, perhaps this ought to be explained, since it might not be immediately obvious. (Especially in the case of something "indirectly" OOC like song lyrics.)

References to things or culture which are specific to real life, rather than the FR setting, is out of character. Please remain in-character when you are playing on a role-playing server. Otherwise, you're screwing with other people's suspension of disbelief, and this makes baby Grendel cry.
