You know a soundtrack is great, when a masterpiece like this is used for the character creation screen
It gives me serious lotr vibes but it still feels original im glad baulders gate has got the success it deserved everyone involved deserves a drop of the hat its a triple a game with non of the triple a trash
Or a song you yourself can play
Down by the River is actually not the same song as The Power, they just use the same Leitmotif...
Gave my entire party the performance feat just so we can go on tour around faerun and play this song.
Why did I not think of this haha I'm soo dumb :)
You're amazing.
Fun fact, if you successfully help Alfira write her song, the character who made the rolls gets free permanent instrument proficiency! Easy way to pad out the party's prof's.
@@notoriousmattyb1499 Because at our heart, whether we want it or not, we need to actually *beat the game.*
@@JakDivincitbh i find myself getting all the feats i need by level 10. substituting one wouldnt hurt.
I'm running around with 4 bards. 😅
Bard rogue, Bard cleric, Bard wizard and Bard barbarian.
During combat, I always end my turn by playing this song. 😂
This song is is the reason why I create so many characters.
I’m on my 5th or 6th character now. I just can’t with this music. Calming and peaceful doesn’t give it enough credit.
@@Chainer34822 That's how many it took me before I started making serious headway in the game. My friends kept giving me crap for just playing the character creator xD
Multi class into a bard and add some performance and you will enjoy this tune
So many difficult decisions have to be made. I think I need another 3 hours in character editor
@@lethaltoconcrete2194 Wait...theres more stuff to do after the character creator?
I came in with the lowest expectations because I wasn't familiar with this strategy game, just hoping the plot was good enough to keep me playing. I came out after 220 hours with a feeling I can't describe, and sadness kicked in when I knew the adventure had finally ended.
would play it again. The best game of the year I've ever played, or even the game of the decade, if there aren't too many bugs in Act 3.
I miss u, karlach :3
I know the feeling : My SO initiated me to the game in January this year. We've since did 4 runs, romanced almost every characters, and concluced most of the storylines. I haven't fell this way about a game in a long time. What a trip!
Hearing this song in character creation is nothing short of magic. Character creation itself was a journey because of the gorgeous atmosphere and the promise of what was to come.
And of course it introduced us to this gorgeous melody before we’d start hearing it throughout the game. Like we have our own brainworm lulling us into giving over control even after we’ve stepped away from the game.
*This song makes me happy and sad at the same time. I feel different emotions listening to it. It's as if to say: ''It doesn't matter what bad things happened, the important thing is that it was an incredible and unforgettable journey.''* ❤
Yes. It's nostalgic and bitter-sweet.
Love the comment. Music sounds to me like you have a duty to bring, through the happy times and the sad times the goal remains steadfast
Life before death. Strength before weakness. Journey Before Destination.
That’s actually profound af damn😮
WHEN THE FLUTE HITS….
This track is my favorit. It played when I danced with Wyll in act II. Made the magical moment even more beautiful. Thank you Borislav Slavov for this masterpiece.
If you know, you know.
I also fall in love with this song when it plays during the dance with Wyll. But when else this song plays in the game though? I know bard can play with song too but when else? @@joyhfelixpravum
@@ewanchenyulin7354 character creation
The music made it so magical, especially how it swells during the kiss
;-;
Thanks a million!@@torvasdh
There's an option to play this song with Alfira after Moonrise tower. She asks you to play with her, and it becomes such a quite breathable moment after such an intense fight (which can be at least 15 attempts in the first fight if youre trying to keep most of the Harper's alive)
I appreciate this game so much, just for that moment of peace
I may or may not have pre-cleared Moonrise just so that all the Harpers would live XD
I managed to storm the tower on the third try with only three Harper casualties. The first try I lost Jaheira, figured I'd want her advise and claws later and save-scummed my way back to the start. The ghost of Gygax must of been pissed at me because _MY ENTIRE PARTY ROLLED 1s_ on their initiative and we got massacred on the second try. The third time my paladin, Shadowheart, Karlach, and Gale absolutely butchered them with a flank attack.
Unfortunately because my party had a few summons out, the summons made everyone run away scared after I talked to Alfira (even she kinda ran away) so I didn’t have this moment :(
Some big things you can do to ensure as many harpers possible survive are
SPOILERS!
1. In the kitchen at moonrise , speak to the halfling near some gnolls and succeed the wisdom throw to have the gnolls turn on her. This not only removes one fighter from the enemy team, but also adds 3 gnoll archers who will side with you. This is a net removal from the Absolute's team of 4 people. Moreover, as the gnoll's are closer, many enemies will target the gnoll's over the harper's.
2. Speak to one of the true soul disciples who is next to the door to the roof top. This is one the first floor of moonrise towers. If you speak to her claiming to want to help Ketheric, she will kill one of her own people as an example of the absolute's power. (I am less sure if this enemy ACTUALLY appears as an enemy in the fight however).
3. Break the tieflings out of prison. The reason for this is it will often trigger a fight with the prison guards. The prison guards will all come as reinforcements in the final battle, apart from the 3 mages and death shepherds who are their own separate pain in the arse. For the easiest time freeing the tieflings, try and kill guards separately to prevent them randomly killing a prisoner. If you kill the prison guards this denies the defence a whole squad of reinforcements.
@Thelionpaladin I initially went through the prison to clear it out and free the tieflings, but learned quickly that if you don't kill the scrying eye quickly it calls in reinforcement; which really sucked because I had spread my party out to take out the guards in the main entry and the torturers. After I reloaded, I went in to where the Warden was, cast hold person on her and killed her; then cleared the dungeon and worked my way back into the main entry. My second attempt worked much better because the Warden is the toughest, so taking her out immediately was great and I was able to trick a few nearby guards into that watchtower so I could kill them without much of a fight; then the main entry had no reinforcements (plus I remembered to cast silence on the torturers so then couldn't cast confusion or cloud or daggers).
Edit: I also freed the gnolls, but two of them blocked the doorway which caused the third to go a different way and get killed; and they missed like 90% of their shots. Still glad I freed them, even if just because they didn't deserve to be slaves for the Absolute. It was really cool seeing them join the fight on my side too, I just wish they did more.
My brother loved playing Baldur's Gate and this type of games. Before he died he was excited to play Baldur's Gate 3 and managed to play for a couple of hours..
We had this beautiful song played for him at his funeral..
I'm sorry for your loss 🫂
Sorry bro
damn.. sorry bro
I'm sorry bro, I'm sure your brother would have appreciated the song choice.
@@lukebiggs3220 Thank you..
This music is phenomenal, music hasn't gotten me attached to a story or a world this much since Lord of the Rings.
the power of leitmotiv
Totally agree, not since LOTR!!!
To anyone who is on a music journey like i am after finishing the game, i urge you all to go get Divinity Original Sin 2! The music in that game is as good and memorable as Baldur's Gate 3. Absolutely worth your time and money
Dragon Age Origins also❤❤❤
I came here just to say this. Divinity 2 gives the same vibes. I still keep it for a rainy day in my playlist. Nothing kicks harder than the main theme of Divinity OS2.@@ProStreeter100
Having a bard isn't a choice, it's a necessity ❤️
My next play through I will do bard
@@Boohoo0789*reclass someone to bard, nao!*

@@devongignac6960 ok
Ayyy! Sorcerer bards lets go, I like doing Bardbarian if I'm playing college of swords.@@devongignac6960
I can almost cry each time I hersr this song. It is one of the most beautiful melodies I've ever heard.
Down by the river
I love this song. The flute sections are playful and curious, almost like it’s as eager to see what we create as the player is. The rest of the track tells us that whoever it is, they’re going to be a badass hero.
Yes, I finally found it! My favourite track from the character creation. It's genuinely so beautiful.
I love this C# at 0:53 so much. Amazing soundtrack
That caught my attention as well. I can't explain it
YEES
to me the flute is like some wise and old adventurer (like any of the main characters) telling their grandkids about their adventures, and that off-key C# is them mentioning a hilarious mishap between their heroic deeds
@@AsDf-fq1sh yeah that part has such a charming and mysterious almost mischievous air to it.
same, favee

I was just doing a second playthrough. An evil playthrough at that. And I got to Alfira, which I missed my first time around somehow... I couldn't bring myself to be mean to her, even though I'm trying to be evil. Somehow ended up passing both performance checks on my oathbreaker orc paladin and realized it gives your character musical proficiency. I then found out she will play an accompanying part to any song you play. So now my group of evil characters have been sitting around for the past hour or so just playing music with Alfira. I even picked up my guitar and mandolin irl and been jamming with it/learning the songs too. I came here to get one part a little cleaner.
.
I realize yall probably don't care, just felt like that was a fun series of events that I wanted to share.
.
Side note, Borislav Slavov is an absolute legend. I fell in love with his music throughout DOS:2. And here I am falling in love with yet another of his soundtracks.
Being evil hits much harder if youve done "good guy stuff" before

Like helping Shadowheart defect and then sell her out to Viconia. Or free her parents and then have your knifehand slip
@@elseggs6504 I 100% agree. Maybe it's just my conditioning growing up with very black or white morality systems in games, but I often do all "good" or all "evil". I will say though, BG3 really brought out my inner chaotic neutral lol.
.
But you are spot on with that. The "fallen hero" trope is a classic.
@@anthonyfaiell3263 I'd say it can be more than simply being a fallen hero.
Think about it: How many times has a game or a movie had a chummy support character that turned out to be a villain? Whos to say you couldnt be the one who was deceiving everyone until it suited you?
@@elseggs6504 I get what you are saying. That is the "fallen hero" trope. It doesn't necessarily have to be the main protagonist. Just any good character that turns bad for whatever reason. Obviously any narrative played out is going to be deeper than it's generalized trope. But that's the idea.
.
I've always enjoyed it in media I consume, so why not in video games right? lol
I do care. Love this little story :)
I'm in love with this track
Yes, me too. Dreaming away down by the river
Just for the fun of it, i just have my bard play this when he`s out of actions on his turn.
Played a warlock and grabbed the performer feat to do the same. Eldritch blast spam knock a dude off a ledge play him a funeral tune
@@dungeaterss13 lol nice one
I do the same! Although… I’m a paladin and not proficient in music…….. my ‘poor performance’ will not stop me from performing!!
I do the same, especially after I've wasted all of Astarion's actions on something stupid. I say, "This is so sad. Astarion, play The Power."
How profound of a tune! But I cannot share or ponder it with my everyday companions? It carries a deep sadness, as if it is only for me to bear, but also to possess, to cherish. Only few could understand, but that is fine with me.
This game is /will be great and every aspect of it is enhanced masterfully through this amazing soundtrack.
2:33 is where my spirit truly leaves me 😭💕
Me too! ❤ I want my being to dissolve into all the music notes within this song and just stay there, cozy and warm forever.
This may be my wedding song
Almost as bad as LOTR weddings
Can choose what he wants i could have a wedding where i blasting nothing but Christian rock and furry rap or some shit at least the power is a nice song yk
@@Tacticalsnails I AM A FURRY
Is your wedding also your funeral?..
It’s a beautiful song but maybe don’t make everyone cry.
Everyone gets hyped during character creation when the humming starts.
This one always makes me cry for some reason
I listen these soft melodies with my son before he falls asleep. Its wonderful and magical.
The soundtrack of this game is absolutely masterful! Thank you Larian and Borislav Slavov for this gift. You didn't need to make it this good, but you did it anyway, and I'm so greatful.
I love this song so much it's an experience akin to sitting beside a lake under a tree under the moonlight while nymphs sing a lullaby to the whole forest and everything is alright
This man is a musical genius.
Borislav, your music is indescribably mesmerising, i'm so thankful Larian had you work on DOS2 and BG3❤
This is the first time that a games music/soundtrack has attached me the story and lore so much. Baldurs gate 3 in my opinion has the best music and is the best game I’ve played.
this piece of music.. unbelievably great one.. i absolutely love it
I haven't played much of the EA in order to avoid spoilers, but this track instantly stood out to me when I heard it during character creation - It really sets a nice tone, love it!
Borislav the REAL bard of Baldurs Gate
I don't know why, but this song makes me think of Shadowheart. I just associate it with her the most
when Wyll and character were dancing, it fit very well with da choregraphie
might be the best OST, I thought that would end up being the main one or something, but noooo it's this random song that you can pick to play if you unlocked performance feat or are a bard.
This song makes me cry
Being able to play this song, in a tavern, in game, with accompaniment from party members is one of the greatest, if not THE greatest moment in Gaming History for me. -as an indie dev myself, thank you for all the inspiration this journey has given me, and for the masterpiece Larian has created. I'd love to cover The Power.
the way my heart swells with the crescendo 🥰 thank you for this masterpiece!
Literally, I'm glad to have played my first run as a bard
I came to listen after seeing you win the bafta. I am not a gamer but I love your music. Much respect
The way this music creates feelings and moods in your soul is a masterpiece
As a bard in my recent playthrough with my friends, I am always playing this song. Even in combat. It's the absolute best song in the game imo. I love this game so much.
My god this is one of my favorites from the game ❤️
I'm currently on vacation but I left part of my soul in Faerûn. Love every single piece of music. So many good memories. Thank you for creating such a magical experience! Much love from Croatia
This song feels like coming home ♥ thank you so much!
Thank you for this amazing ost. A masterpiece of music
The humming in the end, it makes me feel like I’m falling asleep at the end of a long day, finally back at home among loved ones.
Excellent piece. I really like the lyre version. It sounds extremely sad and melancholic when you play it for the drider.
Thanks for this ost, it's so good ! 🎶
Masterpiece! Thank you Borislav for the great soundtrack of BG3!
Really enjoyed every time the orchestral version of this came up in town
Thx So much. So beautiful
my fav song from the game
I instantly relax when I hear this song. It's crazy how music and games can imprint on you like that. I have the same thing with the initial GW1 music. I instantly feel like I am back in the green meadows watching butterflies.
So incredible... thank you Borislav Slavov!
Best fantasy music in any game I’ve ever player ❤
I need to say that Borislav Slavov deserves many Grammy awards for the BG3 soundtrack. The orchestral version of "The Power" is one of the most gorgeous pieces of music to delight my ears and soul in a long time. ❤ I cry good healthy cry each time, the beauty and all the unspoken words and emotions in every note, each part - truly a masterpiece!
Love this music VERY much. Because when she played at the moment of dancing with Will, I realized HOW MUCH I fell in love with him. My sweet romantic Will and the melody that suits him so well.
You say, “Hey, she’s not Willa, others have her on them too.”
Yes, but this music and Will are made for each other. No, you won't convince me. The dance with Will was the most romantic thing I had in this game (And I had a romance with Gale, Astarian, Will, Halsin, Shadowheart and Karlach.)
Such a masterpiece of a game. Everything about it. Deserved every award it won.
It’s probably gonna be a long while before we see anything like it again.
This and Down by the river are bassicly the same ost. I want a remix of both together
i love when it stops here 3:27 like it's finished but then it resumes
Good lord I need guitar tabs for this urgently.
the blue note on this melody hit me so freaking hard
how is the whole song most replayed XD
Tracks like this are the reason I can't bring myself to do an evil playthrough 🤣🤣
In the middle of one right now and it’s so hard, I keep wanting to just be good lol
I'm doing one now, and it's really hard. It's harder earlier in the game than later because you have start off with evil decisions to reinforce your wicked side. I had to kill Wyll and Karlach at the beginning of the game because there was no way they were going to stick around while Minthara and the group were just slaughtering innocents. The game definitely has a darker feel without those two around. A much needed light is gone from the world now.
That's just magnificent...
goty for a reason baby
Best RPG ever played❤
So short but it really is the best ever.
@@melissajade7717 short? it took me 88 hours 💀
I love the humming
What a song, what a game !!! Once in a generation !
I have my very first DM game this Friday. I think I'll open on this song. I want to give my players that same feeling of creativity untapped.
truely AMAZING
I need the power, to fight enemies but followers leaves, lonely fighters have responsibilities to save faerun… that’s this music tells me… so touching
From min 4:00 onwards it is too beautiful.
This was a greatest adventure for anyone that gone into it
The entire soundtrack for this game is excellent, does anyone know what orchestra performed this?
Is it the Symphony of Sin? There's a live concert of Borislav's compositions on youtube.
The orchestra credited for the soundtrack is "Hungarian Studio Orchestra".
@@slinttu1378 Thank you!!
@@slinttu1378 magyarok 🎉🎉
this song is the first thing that comes to my mind when i think of this game
Dawg this game is too damn much for me, i think i slept like 10 out of the last 72 hours i gotta sleep
I know the feeling lol
this song embodies your power, a power of great measure, bestowed upon yourself and it is up to you how to you use it
Game of the Year 2023 confirmed!
I cry when I hear this.
Masterwork
So powerful and emotional
Very reminiscent of divinty original sin 2, i like it
You guys should check out divinity 2 soundtrack
As ridiculously amazing ss this one 😂
I am firmly convinced that all the heroes of the game are intertwined in this soundtrack. The guitar is the player, which connects all other instruments. But I think the remaining instruments symbolize different heroes for each player. For example for me flute - Shadowhearth, violin - Astarion, oboe - Gale and etc. It`s like insruments and theirs sounds have conversation, they argue with each other but guitar keeps them together
This game too good!!!
It's so good!
Thanks for creating this.
Reminds me of the Kuldahar or Lonelywood themes from IceWind Dale.
This is so beautiful.
I love my Tav, this song is beautiful.
Can your songs be used as background music in youtube videos? I make fantasy art videos and this song is so beautiful I would love to use it. Contend ID says no restrictions but I don't want to get copyright struck by Larian 😅
Volo whistling this is amazing
I want to hear it LIVE !!!!!!!!!!
the question is, does the title refer to the illithid power, or something more profound?
Yes, the illithid power. Down by the river also refers to the tadpole in the pre-final cut as well.
Best song
The Power...of Belgiuuuum ^^
