The bard is absolutely the best choice to play as a main character, at least as a roleplaying point of view. At least I need a good reason for my character to wonder around and get to troubles. It's an imagination problem or something I quess..
Figter: just can't imagine my self as a brainless huge swordsman.
Mage: hm.. no.. I rather spend my time in some tower or castle than stomping around.
Thief: I don't want to be a full time criminal after all!
Ranger: why would I travel with bunch of geeks, when i could be alone in forest or something..
Paladin: ugh, sooo noble and booooring.
Druid: jeah, nature boy, right..
cleric/monk/jne. "no armor, no weapons, no nothing.."
A bard? Why yes, he's the guy who can't stay still and has to go wonder around and look for new things, troubles and all kind of cool stuff. Good charisma, some handy spells to aid in troubles, quick hands to steal if money runs out.. Perfect adventurer I think.
