Bards are very versatile a can be used as a back up for situations. Their high Charisma make them good leaders and they can identify items (see the manual for Bardic knowledge). They learn spells like sorcerers. Bards have all the weapon skills of a fighter but without the specialisation. And on top of that you had Bard Music some of it quite helpful in battle especially War Chant of Sith.
The there are the specific bard items.
The main problem with Bards is using the right tactics, depending on the situation play them as either a second line fighter or a spell caster/musician.
Also some of the quests or dialogues have different options or outcome if you have a bard in the party. Such as Chapter Three in the Wandering Village area.
Bards probably aren't the choice of power gamers but they can make your adventuring interesting experience.
