- While Baldur's Gate 3 is certainly taking names and kicking ass right now, we can't forget how great Divinity Original sin 2 was. What an awesome OST. One of many tracks I really love.

Divinity Original Sin 2 was my first CRPG, and I absolutely adore Borislav Slavov's composition for it! Hands down a must play for all fantasy rpg fans!
same here man
I love bg3 as well as dos2. I can't wait for them to put the same story and character polish they did in bg3 into dos3 if they make it
@@thehurricane6767 I really want a DoS2 remake with a better ending and more to do in the game.
Divinity Original Sin 1 was my first CRPG, and thus I've had the opportunity to see Larian improve with each of their titles as an inependent studio. They've come so far, and I can't wait to see what they get up to after BG3.
@@colinmunro3158 DOS1 and BG3 both suck, complete trash made for people with no literacy.
In the memory of Kirill Pokrovsky.
DoS 2 OST is simply gorgeous. I loved this game a lot. I'm glad it was made this well, I'm glad I was able to play and finish it.
I sure hope you'll take a listen to the main theme on this channel. It's glorious in both the somber mood, the cold, mystical etherealness, and the vocals... man, the vocalisation.
The part at 1:27 really sells the whole setting out across the ocean on the Lady Vengeance!
The whole song gives me Lord of the Rings Shire, but nautical vibes😆🌊🌊🌊
Excellent game and Soundtrack. Borislav delivers as always! Also, don't worry Marco a bunch of my friends could never get out of Act 1 so you are not alone. Oh and cool tidbit one of the songs from DOS2 is playable by the Bard in BG3!
There are actually three songs that are available to the bards to play in BG3 if you have Deluxe Edition: "The Queen's High Seas", "Of Divinity and Sin", and, of course, "Sing for Me"
Maybe there's more, but I definitely remember those
@@mr_jyggalag oh Nice! I haven't played Bard yet, my friend just plays "Of Divinity and Sin" in battle all the time and that is the DOS2 main theme (don't think it is named in ost to my knowledge). So I knew there was at least one.
Oh hope you get to listen to Sing for me from the same game!
Just as beautiful as Rivellon.
While I do love Slavov's work on this game and bg3 I do miss Prokovsky's music from the first game. It was very whimsical. Sadly he passed away though at the same time Slavov's work is great for this game in particular as Original Sin's sequel is more serious, darker and action focused Rally cements the idea that you are on an adventure.
Dance of Death, from Divinity Original Sin 1, is burned into my brain.
One of my favorite RPGs that helped me to look at CRPGs in a new way. The verticality, the ability to interact with the environment and yes, the high level of immersion in which the OST played a really big part. It was a joy.
I loved this game. I wasn't able to play it with others but even playing it alone was a very delightful experience. And the music is simply stunning.
Rivellon is also placed very aptly in the game, it's in the narrative phase when you FINALLY escape prison island and the big wide world opens up for you, but you're not really free because war is coming, so it's this mix of grandiosity and weariness and hope and incertainty.
Edit, I believe this plays not when you escape on the ship, but later, when you reach land.
I LOVE Rivellon! It's my actual phone alarm. Never get tired of it.
I adore this song. I think its my favorite in D:OS2. I just put it on repeat and chill as I do housework.
There's a number of really good songs in the OST that have vocals, specifically the Main Theme and Sing for Me (Lohse's Version).
You should also check out his predecessor Kirill Pokrovsky. I'd recommend his OST for Divinity 2: The Dragonknight Saga. My favorite game of all time.
The way the strings works, Rivellon kind of vaguely reminds me of the island like vibes in Chrono Cross. The flutes are my favorite part though in the piece. Lohse's song at the end of the game is my favorite piece in the entire OST. It doesn't hit quite as hard until you go through the entire journey with her. Incredible game. Incredible music.
I love the emotional nuance and ambiguity that is in so many of Borislav's best tracks. There's reflection, melancholy, wonder, calm, hope, and resolve all through this piece, and it all blends smoothly, without ever feeling disjointed. Conveying a whole state of mind in a way, rather than just one simple idea.
Amazing track. The flute melody absolutely takes this to the next level
I would argue that the emotion created by the first melody is more of a quiet longing than just peacefulness. Combined with the more exciting 2nd and 3rd melodies, it creates for me a kind of Wanderlust, a longing for distant places and exciting travel adventures, which seems to be fulfilled by the most epic part of the song before almost resolving and then hinting at danger at the end.
I was mesmerized when I first heard this in the game. It remains one of my favorite pieces years later.
While BG3 surpasses D:OS2 in many things (which is understandable!) and while I love its soundtrack, I still feel like the music in D:OS2 is better and overall feels like Slavov's magnum opus. There are so many great tracks and the interchangeable arrangements for different instruments are such a lovely thing to have in a game. But maybe it's just nostalgia glasses, I loved this game.
I can't help but agree; the music in BG3 is so fantastic, but I still find myself missing some of the, I dunno, catchier themes such as this one while wandering around (I'm finishing up Act 3 in BG3 still!). To be fair, even though both games have your teams on that thin line between safety and danger at all time, especially on first playthroughs when you don't know where to go or what to do in what order, the free-roam countryside by Driftwood fits this style of music so so well, whereas the cinematic moments of BG3 have some of the best pieces so far, such as Nightsong. Going to be listening to both OSTs for a very long time.
I’m so happy you turned your gaze in DOS2! That was such a nice surprise. Curious to hear your analysis. May I also recommend Divine’s Lament?
Such a beautiful composition that evokes a spectrum of feelings inside me from a subtle melancholy, adventure, tension, excitement and conviction and finally a melancholic peace.
Nobody ever talks about the bonus track to divinity original sin 2, which is a version of divines lament with vocals sung by borislav himself, the lyrics are incredible
I would love to see you react to more DOS2. Dancing with Source is haunting and makes you want to check over your shoulder (Oud is my preferred version), Sing For Me is set beautifully in the story (Lohse comes out victorious against the BBEG for her story and starts singing this), Mead, Gold, and Blood is makes you tense up for a fight, knowing you're strong but it's going to be close.
I honestly haven't even beaten the first area of DOS2. I didn't really get CRPGs at the time, and when I came back to the series later I decided to start from the beginning (divine divinity is massively underrated btw). But my memory of just those first couple hours remains one of my most treasured gaming experiences ever- it left an incredible impression, and the main theme makes me teary to this day. There's a real sense of magic to the experience, something that's incredibly hard to capture.
Thanks for analyzing this one Marco, I absolutely adore this game and OST. Borislav is one of great geniuses of the genre right now imo!
you should at some point make a video on the Devinity 2: main Theme, Sins and gods - Revelation and or Mead, gold and Blood - Ifan's Theme.
anyway, always neat to see a video from you!
This song is so great and really brings back memories. Whenever this would come on, I would often stop what I was doing in-game and just listen - which I was rarely doing with any other track in this game (unless I was hearing it for the first time).
I think you would love "The Power" (Orchestral version) and "I Want to Live" (Classical version) from Baldur's Gate 3. Those songs are very similar to this one and so peaceful to listen to.
Huh, interesting timing! I've just recently started a co-op playthrough with a friend of mine, about 25 hours in. I do really like a lot of the soundtrack, it's not a surprise BG3's OST turned out so amazing.
Based on your comments on the different sections, it does sound like you were listening to the Light Version as you stated, even though what plays in your video is the regular version of Rivellon
Please do more of this. You have got to check out the Red Prince Theme. It's so good.
Yes, Divinity Original Sin 2 is one my favorite rpg´s so happy to see you reacting to its music
Hi, Marco! OST from original Divine Divinity is good too. Just listen "Drunk with Dwarven Mirth" or "The Flags Of Freedom Fly High".
P.s. In the good memory of Kirill Pokrovsky.
Any chance for 'Sing for me' from DOS2 OST? Please!!!
this is one of my favourite pieces of video game music, every time i hear it makes me want to play the game again, and i catch myself humming it for hours after :D
I'd love to see you listen to the main theme
Basically the answer to the question "What does an adventure sound like?"
Ugh this game soundtrack is up there with Dragon Age Origins and BG3, it gives me chills with the very first note. Love it so much.
More Divinity Original Sin 2 ❤❤❤
Marco, I would love if you analyzed Watching the Clouds from Divinity: Dragon Commander. I absolutely love it and it's a shame that it's not mentioned more.
DOS2 is def one of favs. In case you haven't heard I'd "highly" suggest you react to any of the lies of P ost lol...
I couldn't stay motivated enough to finish the game, but I can never forget both this track and the main theme.
Straight up one of the best pieces of music ever composed!!!!
Then again i have fond memories of the Game.
Divinity: original sin 1 had a lot of amazing music too, i forgot the composers name, but he did pass away shortly after release i think.
Divinity is SUCH a good game. The music is absolutely stunning, so even if you can't play it, I'd recommend listening to it. The fun part is that since you need to select your party in the beginning and you lose your other companions, it requires multiple playthroughs to gain the full experience. Sing for Me is a phenomenal song. I'm also partial to Ifan's theme
I absolutly love the soundtrack to this game!
Man Borislav has such a characteristic sound. This would not be out of place in BG3.
Ah DOS2. Love the game but never managed to finish it cause its just so damn long and really punishes you for not knowing your shit later into the game.
The music is incredible, especially with its pick an instrument gimmick. Ifan's theme is my favorite. Ifan in general is my favorite. His story is just so well told.
Quel chef-d'oeuvre ce jeu. Il m'a fait plonger dans l'univers des jeux de rôles et bons RPG entre amis. Un univers si riche, tellement vivant et naturel. Pour tous ceux qui ne l'ont pas essayé, foncez-y tête baissée, à profiter des ost, du lore, des personnages qui sont tout bonnement incroyables... Entre amis c'est une expérience à vivre ce jeu !
For me, the music made the game even better, it was the cherry on top of a big DELICIOUS whatever you like most. I really love the game, a bit sad bg3 lacked in music compared to dos2
I love this game and soundtrack so much. I am impatiently waitng for BG3 to come to xbox and have not heard any of its soundtrack yet.
this game was such a blast to play. and it had one of the best pay offs for a character. Because lohse, the playable bard, has her own song, "sing for me". But if you try to play a song with her in the game, the "visitor" inside of her stops you from playing, apparently not enjoying music. But if you manage to pull through and defeat the "visitor" in act 3 if you so desire, you get the best payoff possible: you get to take your lute and start playing. To finally sing your song. It's such a beautiful scene, and a great payoff as a roleplayer.
Divinity Original Sin 2 is beautiful. Maybe it's a little more tough to get into, but it's a great experience. There are many good music pieces, and Borislav Slavov, as always, did a great job, and "Sing for me" would live rent-free in my heart and head for all eternity.
Another banger is Queens High Seas - Beasts Theme
Really love this ost. I think you could try the ost of Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous. Epic, sad and even fun for some of these. It's a cRPG like DOS:2 and BG3 if you want to take a moment to listen to it.
Pathfinder have some bangers. Mythic paths themes are all really great
I'm super curious to know how you feel this compares to Ifan's theme, since you've previously expressed how much you like that piece!
Divinity Original Sin 2 has one of the best fantasy soundtracks, people just don't talk about it much for some reason. There is even a song that the composer sang himself.
Also I'm sure some BG3 tracks have little callbacks to DOS2 (and maybe DOS1) songs.
Keepin' it together Bree?
You're among friends, never forget that
I'm alright as long as I don't think about it too much.
There's a light version of this track to without the big orchestra. Just as beautiful
@marcomeatball I'd very much like to see a video on Power of Innocence 2017 (Orchestral Version) in memory of the late Kirill Pokrovsky, who did the soundtrack of every Divinity game up until his untimely death between the release of DOS and and the start of full production on DOS2.
Because of how much replayability that game had the memes are hard burned in my memory
Did you know that you can pick the main instrument for all the songs when creating your characters? There's 4 options, and all give the game a slightly different vibe
I have spent so many hours just walking around in the game, doing inventory, buying or crafting stuff, checking things out. All of that with a feeling of such peace and calmness, and that only works because of the music
Ya it’s so cool’
Oh my gosh Marco please listen to the Power of Innocence 2017 - Orchestral Version.
Pls check Divine's Lament, it's the most beautiful song imo...well, they are all kinda great, Slavov always delivers.
One of my favorite soundtracks (and games). I love it even more than the Baldur's Gate 3 OST
How coul i forget being AFK in Lady Vengance listening to this song hile cleaning my room :D
It might take a while to get into but it is co-op and I really recommend playing with a friend as its an absoloute blast! Did I understand all of the story? NO! But it is some of the most fun I've ever had gaming! Also the soundtrack is great with a few in world character songs with lyrics that really work.
One of my absolute favorite games!
Rivellon is exultant
Hey Marco! I think 'Persecution of the Masses' from Shin Godzilla would be a great one for you to check out ^^
And I continue to recommend Pathfinder wrath of the righteous OST.
Mythic paths.
pls do more divinity ost
I really like Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2, even more so than bg3.
I really like DOS2 but BG3 might be the best game in the last 20 years.
Yeeeeees i love the music from this game
listen to symphony of the void tambura its amazing
Anyone think we could get some deep rock galactic
hey marco, hakita just uploaded a new song wip for ultrakill, i didnt know if you were aware of it but i hope you see this comment and react to it
It would also be great to check out the OST for another great CRPG - Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous. It is also stellar, especially the mythic paths themes.
I've played the shit out of Divinity Original Sin 2, but I have to stress that the game's entire first act is prologue. It's a slog, and hard to get through. The game actually starts in act 2, and is worth every second.
Also, if you read this give Lohse's Song a listen, from the same game.
