Bards are Baldur's Gate 3's best class and I can't imagine playing it as anything else
pcgamer.com
I was planning on paying a rogue, paladin, or warlock (based on my tabletop characters), but this article nearly has me convinced. I am waiting for the PS5 release, so any agreement or dissension from my PC friends? Other class recommendations?

One of the biggest changes is ranges of attacks. An Eldritch Blast has a range of 120ft in 5e. In BG3 all ranged attacks have been significantly shortened (less than half for Eldritch Blast) so they can’t be targeted “off screen”.
As a design philosophy, Larian dislikes people being hit by attacks from off screen so they limited the length of ranged attacks.
That still comes as a surprise to me because Eldritch Blast feels like it hits anything anywhere in the game.
But anywhere within the screen. 120ft would be far more than you can view surrounding your character.
