The moment I saw the dungeon door open and the characters going down the stairs with torches with this music going on, I knew I was going on a big adventure.
How about that dwarf berserker holding a axe bigger than himself, 0:33 walking down the stairs slowly, then prepare the axe, the torch flashes the blade, the music syncs in... any RPG fan will orgasm watching this shit
Lololol, it gave me dread, just that vocal intro . Suddenly I felt I didn't want to get into this game.... But thank God the music just got so awesome that I keep looping it.
i thought it was a fantastic choice! i got this game for free, haven't played any of them before. As soon as the menu did this I GOT CHILLS!! Instantly fell inlove with the game
That cello "scratch" at 0:30 is more epic than any other videogame theme song released this year, it's surreal how Baldur's Gate 3 achieved the highest quality at virtually every aspect, how the hell this is even possible
I really liked the Colgera theme from TOTK, but this is just so heavy hitting that I'd have to give it number one, even though Colgera would be a close second
This song is amazing and I agree with the quality. If you want an eargsm, check out “Away” from FF16 and you might understand why that game slightly edged it’s way to #1 for me (and game awards) over this piece
Me the dragonborn fighter: just jump Npc: what do you mean by just jump Me:(jump all across and take 0 dm because every physical dm his reduce by 5 du to my feat And my armor) Npc:(surprise pikachu face)
If Skyrim was your previous list topper, you have waaay more to find. Someone mentioned Bloodborne and the Witcher 3 already… But have you seen what happens when you start God of War 3? And I mean 3.
@@SlowWalkthroughs 100%. The music is absolutely top notch, but so is the background. The way the mysterious gate slowly opens as the adventurers descend into the hellish caverns, completely venturing into the unknown ... the soundtrack also makes me think that they're probably on a mission of utmost importance, and who knows what they'll have to face. It's just so frickin well done, both the soundtrack and scene are downright epic and complement each other perfectly. Like I said, the main menu is frickin GOATed bro. I love this game!
Its amazing. Reminds me of skyrim. Game starts music plays and i make dumb noises singing along hyped for what ever will happen in my playthrough for the day.
"Oh hey, this dungeon kinda looks like how the Temple of Baal looked in the final cutscene of the first game. Neat!" ... *wait a fucking minute, does that mean-*
Officially for who, lol you people give too much attention for these worthless "awards" (who are nothing more than soulless advertising, they didn't even allowed Sven to honor his staff)
Jesus f***ing Christ this build-up from 3:50 until 4:54 knows how to give me that almost orgasmic goosebumps like it doesn't happen very often these days... ...An exponential progression like the rise of our hero, increasing in intensity with each of our hasty decisions but heavy of consequences... ...In a fight against time as well as the traditional Baldurian chaos.🤣
Can't wait to hear this played by the Game Awards orchestra. Shit will give me chills only comparable to the chills I got the first time they played the God of War theme live during the fourth's game reveal.
I fucking love this game. I just got to Act III and i don't want to finish because this game is just... incredible and i don't want it to end just yet.
I'm currently playing, at about 50 hours in and I'm still on Act 1. It's truly INSANE how much content there is in this game and just how much choice of playstyle it offers up! I have no idea what's waiting for me in the following acts, but I'm hooked, and it'll be such a bittersweet moment when the game finally comes to a finish :')
This hits harder after you finish the game. 😢❤ Thank you Larian… Though they have a way of making you feel like your story and character(s) is canon, there’s this longing to see my friends and character have a continuation to their story. Knowing BG4 may potentially not come, is disheartening. But maybe, just maybe, one day that pain of longing will end. Right?
IF anything should be taken, it's that more adventures await. Time passes but this does not mean the adventure is over, just another chapter, another journey. Never stay stuck in the past.
We are not gonna witness anything like Baldurs Gate 3 in a veeeery long time, in a way it feels kinda bad. But in the end, you respect these kinds of unique titles way more!
probably not until Divinity Original Sin 3. They cant make a lower quality game now after BG3 , OS3 will have to be even better. I cant imagine how, BG3 is perfect rpg nothing even comes close to it. For me the only way it can be better if it was even more massive, like instead of 3 Acts, there are 9 that would be insane. Other companies cant compare with Larian in terms of quality (in this genra), Owlcat is awesome but they are much smaller.
Who else feels like this song is a microcosm of the whole game? With the buildups and releases etc. I feel like Act 1 ends at about 2:43, Act 2 ends about 4:55, and the final battle is 6:58.
The vocals really give me Demon's Souls vibes - and I mean the original OST, not the remake. It's so raw, and as someone else said here, guttural. Absolutely adore it.
Heres what i think each sections means how they musically tell what BG3. Theme 1 the beginning choir and chant sets up the dark story and plot. The impending doom that is the netherbrain and the mind flayer parasite. 1:03 that sudden shift in the music and feel with the harp and the rising flute. Thats your introduction or your characters intro into the world your the hero of the story. Its why it shifts to a hopeful tone. 2:45 Theme 2 is a bit cryptic i felt like this section represents the gameplay and the battles that the player will get themselves into its challenges and its rewards as well. With the "Down by the river" Motif being fight against your mind flayer parasite weather you feed into it or fight it. 5:00 Theme 3 represents the RPG aspect of the game and represents your relationships with your companions how you'll build romances and friendships and change who they are by the end of the story.
For people who never experienced BG 1 & 2, this is just a cool menu with an awesome theme. But for anyone who played through the Bhaalspawn trilogy, this menu alone triggers so many feels.
I LOVE IT , I CANT STOP FEELING HIGH WHEN I LISTEN THIS MASTERFUKKIN PIECE MY GOD, GAMERS THEY SAY,LOOK DOWN UPON US , LITTLE DID THEY KNOW THE MAJESTY , THE JOURNERY, EVIL MEET SWORD , SWORD MEET WITH EVIL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! STAY HARD!
It's because of this game, after I finished it, I now find it rather hard to get into something else. The bar has been raised a lot higher and I;m quitting out of everything I install....
You wont find anything of this quality for a long, long time. Years probably. The only thing that you can find is a different story that might do it for you and be "better"or at least up to par. Pathfinder 1-2 (insane games but they are not turn based) , Rogue Trader, DOS 2, Wastelands 2, after that you only have older games.
Every generation theres a collection of games that are all timers. I thought gow and elden ring were it then BAM. This game came from outta nowhere and changed everything
I'll be honest, I didn't dig the voices at the start, but everything after that is just a master piece, I can't believe how much I missed the feeling of a game like this, the Dragon Age Origins vibes were so strong and I loved it.
I know the game is going to be good and the music will be amazing, but the second the main menu music started playing when I booted up the game a moment ago, all I can hear is Dragonborn from the Skyrim OST. Especially in the actual melody.
Definitely some kind of string instrument. Low, so cello or contrabass. That part reminds me of the theme from the warcraft movie. I also love whenever the melody returns to the "Down by the River"-part. Especially when the orchestra crescendos into those BIG SWELLS. OOOoooo!

From the view of Baldur's Gate all the way to the deep dark. Such an incredible opening that screams,"Welcome Home."
i thought it was a fantastic choice!
i got this game for free, haven't played any of them before. As soon as the menu did this I GOT CHILLS!! Instantly fell inlove with the game
It kinda reminds me Moria, the "underbelly" of the world... you are not supposed to go there, but you go anyway because adventure!
Name of the game is Baldur’s Gate. Press Start when you’re ready for adventure.

So reminiscent of Basil Poledouris' score for Conan the Barbarian. In 30 years this will still be a classic.

"Oh hey, this dungeon kinda looks like how the Temple of Baal looked in the final cutscene of the first game. Neat!"

...In a fight against time as well as the traditional Baldurian chaos.🤣
I agree, but I'm here because the other version doesn't have that part of 6:17 till the end. 🙂
This is in their EA release trailer with that epic monologue. Best trailer ever.
That's exactly how I felt about it too. The progression of the song as well as the story it tells all through the song is just incredible.
I just installed the game right now and i heard this 😢 this will be my first time touching this type of game since baldurs gate 2
Then you should also try the Divinity series.
Absolutely amazing! Think its the only main menu theme I literally wait for to play out lol...
This and Morrowind.
3 years old when the early access was released, I spent the majority of my first play session listening to the menu and character selection music.
God of war 3?
World of Warcraft
Dark Souls 3 menu theme is incredible too
This theme is burned into my mind.
Can't wait to hear this played by the Game Awards orchestra. Shit will give me chills only comparable to the chills I got the first time they played the God of War theme live during the fourth's game reveal.
YES SIR!!!
To be fair TGA orchestra didn't give it enough time or good notes
Yeah, sadly I have to agree. I think their fast paced arrengement didn't suit this song well. Also, the voices lacked strenght. @@AlexiosLair
@@neoshenlong but it's fine, because in march we will be getting a fully fledged BG3 orchestra music!

In my opinion, this is literally the best game menu and theme ever.
best theme ever goes to skyrim but i cant argue with you on the best game menu
@@jondagamer4466 for you it goes to skyrim, for me this is definetely the best :P
@ozanavsar463 poor taste in music is all I gotta say
Along with dark souls 3, Skyrim and WoW (vanilla, BC and wotlk)
As for me, it stands on the podium along with Diablo 2 and Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
A human, a dragonborn, dwarf and halfling walk into a dungeon.

It's unreal how well this music also works with Mount and Blade Bannerlord. Especially if there's a huge battle.

That part reminds me of the theme from the warcraft movie.
I also love whenever the melody returns to the "Down by the River"-part. Especially when the orchestra crescendos into those BIG SWELLS. OOOoooo!
