Not all quests will only be solvable by fighting.
Some or many, who knows, quests can be solved in a more peacefull manner so the bard should be good at such situations.

I'm guessing that perfor should work in cities. Perhaps NPC's will reward good performances or perhaps you can even be huired by a innkeeper. If the roleplaying is any good, PC's will also reward bards.

Not all skills like sence motive, bluff etc. will be in the game, but they are testing them and I expect a lot of this.

Also, skills will be implemented into combat, you can feint as a combat action like in the pnp game.
