I just realized how funny the concept is that we gloss over that bards basically spend the 30 seconds a fight lasts just complementing people one after the other. It feels right when combat is spaced out over a few hours, but when you condense it back down to 30 seconds it just gets goofy again.
Yeah, while I agree with the core message rebuking ecofascism and pointing out that environmental damage is a capitalistic issue, depicting indigenous folks as the sole tenders of the land is some Noble Savage shit.
