"I really liked that I was able to help Alfira write Weeping Dawn, AND now she has joined my own personal struggle in getting rid of this tadpole. Oh boy I can't wait until tomorrow!" - my Dark Urge character thinking just before going to sleep
lmao I had the exact same thoughts. Then I found out you can just knock her out before you long rest and instead a random dragonborn bard shows up and takes her place.
I actually thought something was up because she can't join your party and Durge, being my second playthrough, I knew you couldn't recruit her as a "normal" tav. I didn't expect to wake up to being covered in her blood, her body mutilated to hell and back and a sacrificial mark to bhall being drawn in her blood around her. Needless to say, figuring out that Durge was bhallspawn is pretty easy if you are a little familiar with the lore. I'm a little disappointed you can't religion skill check it.
As I had learned to play instruments, I even played a duet with her in my camp. Lae'zel and Astarion liked it so much that they threw gold. Then I went to bed... now here I was thankful that I had been warned. When you meet her first and ask her if she is OK, she says something like "I am moments away from dying a grisly death..." ... (("at the hands of this song.) What a brilliant, cruel way to use foreshadowing...
I didn't play Early Access and avoided all spoilers until release. Today is the first time I met Alfira. This song hit me SO hard. Bravo. I can't even express how deeply this one hits.
@@CHAD_-KING I went dark urge, also avoided (most) spoilers up until release. Honestly, I didn't care all too much for Alfira. Just met her, helped her write a song that while good didn't hit nearly as hard as some people say it does, because again, literally just met her. The dark urge moment was a silly little thing, and I'm glad I went with it.
@@BruceWayne-fj9bm It's not often you see something so hilariously, objectively wrong. I'm going to have to assume this is either a troll or a deeply miserable person.
I found her right after nearly getting complete TKO from a bunch of harpies. My entire party was covered in blood while she performed. The song was such a welcome respite. It was amazing. Later on I was just ecstatic when she joined the camp and wanted to adventure with you. I would get to hear more songs throughout my campaign. I was playing the dark urge.....
Second gameplay with Dark urge right now. Dark urge seem like a very bad choice for first gameplay cause if you do anything but basically refuse the dark urge every time, not really digging into the depht of the character, you end up with a very gory game and miss a lot of opportunities for future dialogue and secrets
Bards are my favorite class, and this game does them so much justice. From counter song with the harpies, helping the bard write this song, and simply jamming in the middle of combat. I am quite happy.
They have counter songs for every occurrence of mental intrusion and all of the counter songs to help counter the intrusion reference the kind of intrusion it is. Yes, Bards have been done justice. As someone who tends to play Rogues more than any other class (in BG3 and D&D), I have really come to deeply appreciate the Bard not just Baldur's Gate 3 but in general.
Bards are often seen as the sexual joke characters because of their high charisma, but they're a jack of all trades for a reason. Magic, healing and DPS whilst looking fabulous. What's not to love?
@@carlamartinezmangas4112 Cool easter egg in game is that if you play as a Bard, there is a Raphael note to be found where he claims he had a nightmare of us being better than he is.
Meanwhile, in the dev room; "So Bard is one of the classes we dont have accounted for. Unless players start with a Tav/Durge bard, or respec into it, they might miss out on a lot of stuff." "Its okay, we'll make two bards tag along their journey." "Oh, as party members?" "Nah, more like npc's. Have one do surgery and just dip out after the damage is done." "...but why would-" "Could have the second taunt the player in them joining, only for durge to murder them." "Why would you do that!?" "Oh oh, make a 3rd bard show up in case they miss em, and have it be a fail safe murder!" ". . . . i'm taking Scratch privilege away from you now..."
@@crestfallensunbro6001 Well I'd say they nailed it, lol. Played a dark urge bard, so I had this beautiful scene with her...and then...long rest happened. Her fate was the most tragic of all (for me at least). I don't usually get choked up in games, but this one got me (along with Astarion's story). Brutal. It (Alfira's fate) was definitely something that shocked me (and I don't get shocked easily). I played evil characters in Fable and Elder Scrolls (dark brotherhood and cult of Namira for instance) and they never came CLOSE to this. Makes them look like tame kittens in comparison. Definitely horror vibes. And that dark urge cutscene happened in the middle of the night while everyone in my house was asleep (first time playing it, so stayed up till the wee hours lol) gg.

She is actually really easy to miss because she is in a place away from the main paths/areas and leaves early on in the game's storyline. So if you just focus on the main quest rather than on exploring every nook and cranny you will most likely miss her.
@@jodofe4879 I teared up a bit when I realized that wrote a full length song for a random npc encounter that is off the beaten path. (Please no spoilers, I haven't gotten very far) Larian did such a great job on this game.
I love BG3’s portrayal of Tieflings. Players and DMs often just treat them as the “edgy” choice, but here they’re humanised in a way that really brings out the tragedy of their race. Sure, they look like devils straight from the Nine Hells, but they’re just people - they love and fight, they eat food and tell stories, they mourn lost loved ones and regret missed opportunities just like everyone else. This is the song of a young bard mourning the loss of her teacher and fearing that she’ll never live up to her - the fact that she has horns and a tail is the least important part of her character.
The only people who tend to hate ''edgy'' stuff are the incels who dress like ass and who have no self confidence. They hate edge because it's about style and confidence, it's at cross-purpose with their neck-beards and their loli shirts.
I was uninterested in Tieflings. Until I saw Karlach. She is so nice, so kind and sweet.. I've never thought I will fall in love with companions so fast. After DAO companions.
When I ran into this song in the game, I was struck so hard by it. The dialogue and choices that led to the song, the scene that played out alongside the song. I almost missed it, I was about to leave the area and noticed someone off to the side I hadn’t talked to. This game really is special, for that much care put into something easily missable.
I wish two things : that she was a party member as our official bard... And that we could Learn instruments without being a bard. Which I'm not sure yet we still can.
@@sirjazz1268 You can learn instruments as any character via Ability Score Improvement level, taking the Performer Feat (+1 Charisma, Proficiency in Musical Instruments)
@@sirjazz1268 If you do the right choices during the scene with Alfira and if you succeed the 2 or 3 throws, you will learn to play instruments and also inherit Alfira's teacher Luth.
@@Hirotoro4692 its a small spoil..... So SPOIL ALERT.... If you go bad -evil choices, being "the dark urge" , she joins you after kagha.... With good choices, being "a hero", she just act this " sweet shit".... She isnt so pure... I cant prove it, that she is evil, but try that i say.... She joins you .... By herself.... Or look a guide , you will see that happens..... I dont know exactly why.... Maybe they say, if you go dark orge-making evil choices, you lose haslin, lae zel, zaheira and maybe wyll, another way you must kill karlach ....so we must give them some also cool buddies to play that .... Like her and minthara..... Or my version, is strange and you re right
I mean, "one of the best gaming moments ever" is a really strong phrase. It was a nice song but I had no real attachment to it considering I literally just met the character 10 seconds ago.
@@casual2694 exaclty, I do really like the song and I find myself coming back to listen to it. But if this played at like on the better part of being done with the game and the character actually had some meaning besides being that one thiefling bard I met at the grove and seems shes safe and sound
Can you believe that if you talk to some squirrels next to Alfira with "Speak with Animals", they have the nerve to complain about this song?! The gall!
That’s just how squirrels are. If a real squirrel doesn’t like you, it won’t hesitate to break into your room for the sole purpose of taking a dump on your windowsill. Squirrels are jerks. (I speak from personal experience.)
@@valiantshadowproductions oh they FOR SURE saw all the love Alfira was getting and hatched up the most devious of plots for the durge players. I mean truly hats off to larian, she was probably the non-companion npc I cared about the most and killing her actually had an effect on me
Im playing bard on my solo campaign and the option to help her finish this just felt awesome. Would love it if after this cutscene, bards can play weeping dawn on their instrument.
Interestingly enough, when i first heard the Song i was wasnt too impressed, but i was playing as the dark urge... After that night, i listened to it again and ever since, when i hear this song i actually cry. I genuinely dont remember playing a game that hits you this hard in the feelings.
Alfira's voice is so pure and angelic. After hearing this song, I hoped that she would go on to write many a ballad about her people -- be it their history and culture or the greatest and kindest of their heroes. I also loved to see the looks on the other companions' faces, particularly Astarion's, while they listened. They all look so soft.
My teacher from music school has died two days ago, and I couldn't stop crying. So at one moment yesterday evening this song has started playing in my YT recommendations, and... I can't put into words how much it helped me. Thank you, Borislav. This is pure masterpiece.
No idea if you knew at the time, and you probably know by now anyway buuut.. Funnily enough, that is exactly what this song is about: The bard Alfira's mourning and rememberance of her teacher , who was killed in a Gnoll attack while teaching Alfira to play, mere hours or days before she makes this song & tribiute with the help of the player.
Yeah, i was super excited when she wanted to join me, i wanted to use the feat to be able to perform instruments, but then *that* happened. Despite knowing what kind of character i played i was just shocked. I did *not* expect that. Had to take a few minutes to process it. Kudos to larian for being able and willing to genuinely shock people and how they did not sugarcoat it in any way or form.
Actually if you play redemption path. This song hits harder, especially if you helped her. It’s the important turning point that can either strengthen or change Dark Urge’s heart toward good. So Alfira is a character I always interacted with in every Dark Urge playthrough because of this.
Every song is this game is such a masterpiece, each one have her own soul. It add so much to the game that i can't even imagine playing without them. Thank you mister Slavov ! You're one of the pride of Larian Studios and of course of Baldur's Gate !
I just stumbled across this interaction during my run yesterday and it actually made me tear up a little. It completely took me by surprise and being that I play a bard, it made me incredibly happy. I'm pretty sure I was smiling myself while listening to it.
I lost one of my closest friends a few years ago. We spent years playing DND together. Started my first playthrough a couple weeks ago, and I had just enough time to think that he would've loved it before this song hit me like a ton of bricks.
My mother passed away in 2011 from colon cancer at the age of 39. Over a decade has went by since her death, and many, many video games I've placed since. None, game or music, have ever with such precision encompassed how I felt about my mother. Growing up, she was supportive of my decisions, including my love of gaming. Thank you for this masterpiece and thank you for finally putting to words my feelings about her, even when I was unable to do so myself.

Found Alfira completely by chance while exploring the area, thought she'd just be some random NPC you could talk to for a bit. Instead I helped her finish a tribute song for a dear friend who had recently passed away and even better I got to hear it when she finished. I'm amazed not just at how beautiful this song is, as well as the amazing voice this singer has, but with how much work was obviously put into something that many players won't even see their first playthrough. Larian Studios is everything I remember Bioware being years ago, back when they were still my favorite developer. It warms my heart to know that we finally have someone else to carry that legacy forward. I'll definitely be playing Divinity Original Sin 2 once I'm done with this.
I became a big fan of you after Divinity Original Sin: II, and OSTs like these in Baldur's Gate III are absolutely incredible. You have exceeded the sky-high bar that you set yourself in DoS: II, and I feel like you are the best video-game composer who is active right now. You add life to games made by Larian studios, and I cannot imagine high-fantasy without your scores.
When I first came Across Alfira and subsequently, this song, I was completely taken by surprise. This song is just so good! I look forward to more with the full release, and hopefully we get Alfira as a bard companion.
Came across this last night in-game finally... first time hearing it and I teared up... BG3 is amazing.... I have no words, I'm so glad this game is doing so well, so much of it is what I've missed so much in an RPG
"You stand before a body, which is in a state of gore nearly beyond recognition" "The body of that scared girl, who asked for nothing more but a night of shelter" "Her blood covers you, and it's warmth feels like the embrace of an old friend"
I did a normal walkthrough and missed this because Alfira never joined my camp (LONG REST OFTEN), and my second tactician playthrough is a durge. I might make a third playthrough just to hear Alfira's song in-game. The durge scene left me speechless. Such a great game.
@@kyna6683 alfira never joins your camp in a normal playthrough, but you can hear her song in any playthrough if you talk to her in the grove (idrk how to describe the exact location but it's probably google-able)
My first playthrough I smashed her lute because I thought it would be funny. It led to a recurring joke where I would roleplay my paladin as deeply resentful of all music, but I never got to hear the song. My second playthrough was as a Dark Urge bard. Up until the encounter with Alfira I didn't really know what direction to take him. I would usually heed the urge, mostly out of curiosity, because it was the only piece of identity he could cling to. Jamming together with Alfira was the first time I really had him show any kind of humanity, like the power of music dredged up some distant love buried underneath the bloodlust. When she came to my camp I was excited for more interactions with her in the future. The next morning broke my heart, man. My poor bard's one glimmer of hope, disemboweled by his own hand. It seemed like he would never be free of the urge, and I decided he would throw himself at the mercy of the only other one who, until then, had promised him a place in the world. So he went straight to the goblin camp, proclaimed himself a True Soul, and took on the brand of the Absolute. And that's how my evil playthrough started.
i have recently lost someone ..i bought this game on a whim and upon hearing this song ..i wept TY Larian Studos this music was just what i needed to keep my friend's memory alive ((she would have played a Evil Druid i know her lol)) like the Bards teacher my friend always made me laugh and our talks were my greatest joy
@@enterthedragon2689 Illness we had known each other for 20 going on 30yrs ..i found out she passed 10days after the event by her neighbors to say i was sad would be a understatment this song ..every word is how we lived our lives .."moon ..sun all remind me of your grace " in the mornign i awoke to her saying "heya Hun" and at night "Good night hun Hugs and kisses" even as i hear this song ..its bueaty just reminds me how happy i was to know her ..and how sad i am i must wait til i can see her again
Very few games bring tears to my eyes, it takes quite the wonderful experience to accomplish that. Within a few hours of playing BG3, I met Alfira and coaxed her to play her song. It was already an amazing experience for an Early Access game, this song sold it for me.
@@ladyselin35 Well, you could do that. Alternatively, you get a really great cloak in early chapter 1. And if you like the song, that's what youtube is for.
I'm hooked on BG3, and now I can't stop listening to this song! It's heartbreakingly beautiful. Though it brings tears to my eyes while I remember my dearly departed, it's become a comfort piece for me.
Lost someone close to me and this song is comforting, thought about it, while I am in the recovering stage. I am fine just wanted to share that this song is amazing.
This song is just so lovely. Wouldn't be surprised to see many a player falling in love with Alfira after seeing her perform. 😃 Thank you so much for composing all these awesome songs. It just fills me with joy hearing such excellent music during my playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3!!
I was planning on attacking the grove with the goblins, and this song and moment was just so heartfelt that I had to take a few minutes and reconsider my path.
I saved the grove on my first playthrough and i'm glad i did it, this song really made my day a lot better and encapsulated the feel of the grove, on my 2nd playthrough tho, i will murder each and every one in the grove, hahahaah
I heard this song for the first time yesterday after saving a couple of squirrels from Alfira's terrible rehearsals. What a beautiful song to listen to as it pans around the beautiful scenery.
I was glad, that my first playthrough was a bard and I did cry at this scene. This scene must have been written by a musician, who understands the struggle.
Imagine a random NPC in a bast game full of npcs, imagine an small sidequest in a game full of interesting side quest. And larian decided just for that small moment, give it a unique song that will play only for that moment. Larian, you didnt have to go that hard, but we love it. Thanks Ilona and Borislav for all these great moments Please, be there in the next Larian IP. we will need it
Best release for my bday! thank you very much Mr. Slavov for you art I wish you the best and i really want you to create music till the end of time! its very inspiring how much you love your work
They designed this beautiful song for a character in a corner of the map that is super easy to miss, most games would put something like this in the main path basically impossible to miss and I wouldn't even blame them is beautiful. But Larian wanted people to explore and rewards them with amazing stuff like this for doing so.
I love Baldur's Gate 3 as it is, but let me be honest - you perfected this game. It will take some time to get these songs out of my head... Thank you.
i played with a normal bard first, finished this song with her and genuinely just sat down and thought, then played dark urge on another run and was absolutely heartbroken 😭
I just encountered the song on my play trough of the released version of BG3. Just, wow... If there's any more like that, don't tell me, because I was utterly surprised and astound and I like to be surprised like that. I LOVE moments like these! Dragon's Age had them, The Witcher had them and now this game!! Thank you.
These song you make are beyond beautiful. They really are a story and journey being sung. I could get lost listening to the music. Keep up the brilliant work. I can’t wait to hear what’s next.
That's what's so astounding about this game. Even side quests or boss fights that very few will see get amazing soundtracks. A companion a vast majority doesn't even know exists as an option has a fully voiced campaign for those who stumble across them. Stuff like that.
Going home after my work shift, can't believe how much this music sets me in the game. As a singer I feel so refreshed and inspired by the performances of these ladies. Thank you for giving everything to bring the story more alive!
Absolutely incredible. Her story is so sad and you can help her with this song... thank you for taking these games and elevating them with your music. 😊
With my senior composition recital coming up, I’m mortified of the things that may go wrong or the deadlines I won’t meet. But I always come back to this piece and I Want to Live, and I fall in love with music again and am reminded of why I started composing to begin with. Thank you for every note and word you share with us 💛
Mr. Slavov, I have been following your work since Divinity Original Sin 2, and still this is one of my favorite soundtracks. In addition, I had the great pleasure to be present at the premiere concert of music from Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 in Wrocław and also seeing you live. I hope that in the future I will also have the opportunity to participate in such a musical performance presenting your next works.
New headcanon-a redeemed Dark Urge bard makes it their mission to spread this song to the world. They may have failed to save Alfira from the Urge, but they can at least ensure that her music lives on.
First playthrough: “oh my lord almost brought a tear to my eye” Second playthrough: “holy shit free music proficiency” Third playthrough: _laughing + lute smashing_
i completely missed alfira on my first playthrough of act 1 but fell in love with her by the end of act 3, so when i restarted on a new save i made sure to seek her out. i had no idea about this cutscene so it was such a lovely surprise, even more so after she asked to stay in our camp during our first long rest. unfortunately, i restarted as the dark urge. sorry alfira
I love the accompanying string instruments that come out of nowhere. Kind of wish there was more because it starts to make the song feel like an adventure song.
Started my first playthrough because friends got me into it, unfortunately I caught a fever so had a hard time while playing. When my friend who was a bard ran up to this lady to show me her song it felt so soothing and I just sat there giving her a listen and just didn't want to leave. Got some rest later and gave it a listen from this video and feel so uplifted 😭. I appreciate running into this character, I think im going to make a tiefling next 😌
Never once played DnD, NEVER had once played turn-based game until for some reason I bought n played Bg3. At first I was just before regretting buying a game I didn't understand (cause I only played mmorpgs) and then came this song scene Now I can't stop playing this amazing game ^_ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
My fiancé and I are doing a co-op run and since I love music, I preformed with her. I got the bonus without knowing my monk would get one. He told me he helped her finish the song. He saved and did a reload and helped her with the song. I heard the whole thing and cried. We reloaded my save and I still have the preformance bonus. I am a bard in my single playthrough and I told myself I would get the bonus. I didn't. I helped her finish the song and I bought a lyre to learn the song since it hit close to home and unleash my inner bard.

That's false. Resisting the urge has as much content as giving in, if not more.@@dorianodet8064
yep........this almost makes me feel bad for playing it.
Bards are my favorite class, and this game does them so much justice. From counter song with the harpies, helping the bard write this song, and simply jamming in the middle of combat. I am quite happy.
They have counter songs for every occurrence of mental intrusion and all of the counter songs to help counter the intrusion reference the kind of intrusion it is. Yes, Bards have been done justice. As someone who tends to play Rogues more than any other class (in BG3 and D&D), I have really come to deeply appreciate the Bard not just Baldur's Gate 3 but in general.
Raphael is also a bard, a really strong one!
Bards are often seen as the sexual joke characters because of their high charisma, but they're a jack of all trades for a reason. Magic, healing and DPS whilst looking fabulous. What's not to love?
Charisma characters in general... and if you take awakened illithid powers even more so.

Her fate was the most tragic of all (for me at least). I don't usually get choked up in games, but this one got me (along with Astarion's story). Brutal. It (Alfira's fate) was definitely something that shocked me (and I don't get shocked easily). I played evil characters in Fable and Elder Scrolls (dark brotherhood and cult of Namira for instance) and they never came CLOSE to this. Makes them look like tame kittens in comparison. Definitely horror vibes. And that dark urge cutscene happened in the middle of the night while everyone in my house was asleep (first time playing it, so stayed up till the wee hours lol) gg.

Underrated comment.
@@Flipercatsame
Crazy to think some people in the game just won't come across this quest/song. What a beautiful masterpiece. Thank you, Borislav!
I somehow missed it 😢
She is actually really easy to miss because she is in a place away from the main paths/areas and leaves early on in the game's storyline. So if you just focus on the main quest rather than on exploring every nook and cranny you will most likely miss her.
@@jodofe4879 Yeah. Weird thing is, when I met her, she acted as if we had met before.
@@jodofe4879 I teared up a bit when I realized that wrote a full length song for a random npc encounter that is off the beaten path. (Please no spoilers, I haven't gotten very far) Larian did such a great job on this game.
I killed her
I love BG3’s portrayal of Tieflings. Players and DMs often just treat them as the “edgy” choice, but here they’re humanised in a way that really brings out the tragedy of their race. Sure, they look like devils straight from the Nine Hells, but they’re just people - they love and fight, they eat food and tell stories, they mourn lost loved ones and regret missed opportunities just like everyone else. This is the song of a young bard mourning the loss of her teacher and fearing that she’ll never live up to her - the fact that she has horns and a tail is the least important part of her character.
The only people who tend to hate ''edgy'' stuff are the incels who dress like ass and who have no self confidence. They hate edge because it's about style and confidence, it's at cross-purpose with their neck-beards and their loli shirts.
@@ghosteyes2708 so based
@@ghosteyes2708Try listening to a player who's only answer on everything "I just stare with hate" and then you will feel same way
And then a Tiefling child snaps my purse.
I was uninterested in Tieflings. Until I saw Karlach. She is so nice, so kind and sweet.. I've never thought I will fall in love with companions so fast. After DAO companions.
When I ran into this song in the game, I was struck so hard by it. The dialogue and choices that led to the song, the scene that played out alongside the song. I almost missed it, I was about to leave the area and noticed someone off to the side I hadn’t talked to. This game really is special, for that much care put into something easily missable.
I nearly did the same thing! I’m so happy I took the opportunity to explore a little bit to the side, this was a wonderful reward.
I wish two things : that she was a party member as our official bard... And that we could Learn instruments without being a bard. Which I'm not sure yet we still can.
@@sirjazz1268 You can learn instruments as any character via Ability Score Improvement level, taking the Performer Feat (+1 Charisma, Proficiency in Musical Instruments)
I just encountered her, it was amazing, I was watching with mouth open, I did not expect this, epic
@@sirjazz1268
If you do the right choices during the scene with Alfira and if you succeed the 2 or 3 throws, you will learn to play instruments and also inherit Alfira's teacher Luth.
How I wish Alfira was a playable character like Halsin. Perfect bard companion. Beautiful song as well.
She is....
@@takiskarabetsos5062ummm no she isn't. Are you playing a modded version or something?
@@Hirotoro4692 its a small spoil..... So SPOIL ALERT.... If you go bad -evil choices, being "the dark urge" , she joins you after kagha.... With good choices, being "a hero", she just act this " sweet shit".... She isnt so pure... I cant prove it, that she is evil, but try that i say.... She joins you .... By herself.... Or look a guide , you will see that happens..... I dont know exactly why.... Maybe they say, if you go dark orge-making evil choices, you lose haslin, lae zel, zaheira and maybe wyll, another way you must kill karlach ....so we must give them some also cool buddies to play that .... Like her and minthara..... Or my version, is strange and you re right
@@takiskarabetsos5062the fuck are you talking about
@@takiskarabetsos5062 ok
I stumbled unto this song during my EA playthrough by accident and it was pure magic. One of the best gaming moments ever
It feels like that motivating intro song to an adventure, just here it's a few hours into the 80+hr long adventure 😁
Sounds like that moment from The Witcher 3, going through the hardships and then reaching the moment with The Wolven Storm
I mean, "one of the best gaming moments ever" is a really strong phrase. It was a nice song but I had no real attachment to it considering I literally just met the character 10 seconds ago.
@@casual2694 exaclty, I do really like the song and I find myself coming back to listen to it. But if this played at like on the better part of being done with the game and the character actually had some meaning besides being that one thiefling bard I met at the grove and seems shes safe and sound
@@casual2694 You guys really do enjoy poo-pooing other peoples fun it seems.
God just shut up.
Can you believe that if you talk to some squirrels next to Alfira with "Speak with Animals", they have the nerve to complain about this song?! The gall!
This is why you should never feel bad for punting that squirrel in the Grove.
That’s just how squirrels are. If a real squirrel doesn’t like you, it won’t hesitate to break into your room for the sole purpose of taking a dump on your windowsill. Squirrels are jerks. (I speak from personal experience.)
@@tsifirakiehl4250care to tell the story? It sounds like a humorous story.
This song hits hard playing as URGE... 😢
Larian... hats off to you, brilliant storytelling (and we are only at the start of the game)!!!
That tore my heart out, caught me completely off guard. She was so sweet! =(
@@valiantshadowproductions oh they FOR SURE saw all the love Alfira was getting and hatched up the most devious of plots for the durge players. I mean truly hats off to larian, she was probably the non-companion npc I cared about the most and killing her actually had an effect on me
She shows up in the camp
Me: I'm going to romance her!
Later...
NO!
Oathbreaker: *ehem*
SHIT!
@@changer_of_ways_999 IS she romancable? If you're not playing Dark Urge, I mean.
I went Dark Urge for my coop game.... Was not expecting that.... was much sad. Was so brutal.
Im playing bard on my solo campaign and the option to help her finish this just felt awesome.
Would love it if after this cutscene, bards can play weeping dawn on their instrument.
I did the same in my co-op playthrough... And then we remembered my friend took the "dark urge" path. I cried again.
@@Pup_Majestic ah shit
I'm playing a Dark Urge Bard... helped her finish the song and then offed her lol.
lol good sht@@rogerhill9559
Interestingly enough, when i first heard the Song i was wasnt too impressed, but i was playing as the dark urge...
After that night, i listened to it again and ever since, when i hear this song i actually cry.
I genuinely dont remember playing a game that hits you this hard in the feelings.
Alfira's voice is so pure and angelic. After hearing this song, I hoped that she would go on to write many a ballad about her people -- be it their history and culture or the greatest and kindest of their heroes. I also loved to see the looks on the other companions' faces, particularly Astarion's, while they listened. They all look so soft.
My teacher from music school has died two days ago, and I couldn't stop crying. So at one moment yesterday evening this song has started playing in my YT recommendations, and... I can't put into words how much it helped me. Thank you, Borislav. This is pure masterpiece.
No idea if you knew at the time, and you probably know by now anyway buuut.. Funnily enough, that is exactly what this song is about: The bard Alfira's mourning and rememberance of her teacher , who was killed in a Gnoll attack while teaching Alfira to play, mere hours or days before she makes this song & tribiute with the help of the player.
Я не так хорошо знаю, английский, но понимаю о чем песня и понимаю вашу боль, эта песня и вправду помогает прожить расставания с близким человеком.
Same as game character, this song is for you :)
RIP all the Dark Urge players.
Yeah... I didn't get to know her.
Yeah, i was super excited when she wanted to join me, i wanted to use the feat to be able to perform instruments, but then *that* happened.
Despite knowing what kind of character i played i was just shocked. I did *not* expect that. Had to take a few minutes to process it.
Kudos to larian for being able and willing to genuinely shock people and how they did not sugarcoat it in any way or form.
Actually if you play redemption path. This song hits harder, especially if you helped her. It’s the important turning point that can either strengthen or change Dark Urge’s heart toward good.
So Alfira is a character I always interacted with in every Dark Urge playthrough because of this.
Not me, she lives cause I’m a delusional maniac who knocked her out to steal her lute…
om nom nom nom
I was playing BG3 as a bard and helped Alfira with some lyrics to the song and heard this masterpiece. Amazing!
Every song is this game is such a masterpiece, each one have her own soul. It add so much to the game that i can't even imagine playing without them. Thank you mister Slavov ! You're one of the pride of Larian Studios and of course of Baldur's Gate !
I just stumbled across this interaction during my run yesterday and it actually made me tear up a little. It completely took me by surprise and being that I play a bard, it made me incredibly happy. I'm pretty sure I was smiling myself while listening to it.
same here! Just randomly choose some "good choices" and boom, wow such an amazing song!
Not so much for the chipmunks tho...
I lost one of my closest friends a few years ago. We spent years playing DND together. Started my first playthrough a couple weeks ago, and I had just enough time to think that he would've loved it before this song hit me like a ton of bricks.
Heart off to you friend. Lost but not forgotten.
My mother passed away in 2011 from colon cancer at the age of 39. Over a decade has went by since her death, and many, many video games I've placed since. None, game or music, have ever with such precision encompassed how I felt about my mother. Growing up, she was supportive of my decisions, including my love of gaming. Thank you for this masterpiece and thank you for finally putting to words my feelings about her, even when I was unable to do so myself.

Will there be more such songs in the game which we havent heard? For me its the best of all soundtracks since Dragon age Origins.
Yes!
This song gave me vibes of In Uthenera from origins in the game.
Origins is a Goated soundtrack ngl
No just one
Hahahahaha 😈
Divinity Original Sin 2 had better soundtrack, but Baldur's Gate 3 has better songs
Found Alfira completely by chance while exploring the area, thought she'd just be some random NPC you could talk to for a bit. Instead I helped her finish a tribute song for a dear friend who had recently passed away and even better I got to hear it when she finished. I'm amazed not just at how beautiful this song is, as well as the amazing voice this singer has, but with how much work was obviously put into something that many players won't even see their first playthrough.
Larian Studios is everything I remember Bioware being years ago, back when they were still my favorite developer. It warms my heart to know that we finally have someone else to carry that legacy forward.
I'll definitely be playing Divinity Original Sin 2 once I'm done with this.
I became a big fan of you after Divinity Original Sin: II, and OSTs like these in Baldur's Gate III are absolutely incredible. You have exceeded the sky-high bar that you set yourself in DoS: II, and I feel like you are the best video-game composer who is active right now. You add life to games made by Larian studios, and I cannot imagine high-fantasy without your scores.
I stopped paying attention to anything else when the scene for this started. This was absolutely breathtaking. A true work of art.
When I first came Across Alfira and subsequently, this song, I was completely taken by surprise. This song is just so good! I look forward to more with the full release, and hopefully we get Alfira as a bard companion.
Came across this last night in-game finally... first time hearing it and I teared up... BG3 is amazing.... I have no words, I'm so glad this game is doing so well, so much of it is what I've missed so much in an RPG
"You stand before a body, which is in a state of gore nearly beyond recognition"
"The body of that scared girl, who asked for nothing more but a night of shelter"
"Her blood covers you, and it's warmth feels like the embrace of an old friend"
I did a normal walkthrough and missed this because Alfira never joined my camp (LONG REST OFTEN), and my second tactician playthrough is a durge. I might make a third playthrough just to hear Alfira's song in-game. The durge scene left me speechless. Such a great game.
@@kyna6683 you can only get this if you play as dark urge.
@@00784865 I meant the singing scene, but thanks anyway
@@kyna6683 alfira never joins your camp in a normal playthrough, but you can hear her song in any playthrough if you talk to her in the grove (idrk how to describe the exact location but it's probably google-able)
That's actually Quill's description, not Alfira's. With Alfira it says something different.
My first playthrough I smashed her lute because I thought it would be funny. It led to a recurring joke where I would roleplay my paladin as deeply resentful of all music, but I never got to hear the song.
My second playthrough was as a Dark Urge bard. Up until the encounter with Alfira I didn't really know what direction to take him. I would usually heed the urge, mostly out of curiosity, because it was the only piece of identity he could cling to. Jamming together with Alfira was the first time I really had him show any kind of humanity, like the power of music dredged up some distant love buried underneath the bloodlust. When she came to my camp I was excited for more interactions with her in the future.
The next morning broke my heart, man. My poor bard's one glimmer of hope, disemboweled by his own hand. It seemed like he would never be free of the urge, and I decided he would throw himself at the mercy of the only other one who, until then, had promised him a place in the world. So he went straight to the goblin camp, proclaimed himself a True Soul, and took on the brand of the Absolute.
And that's how my evil playthrough started.
i have recently lost someone ..i bought this game on a whim and upon hearing this song ..i wept
TY Larian Studos this music was just what i needed to keep my friend's memory alive ((she would have played a Evil Druid i know her lol)) like the Bards teacher my friend always made me laugh and our talks were my greatest joy
My sincere condolences. Was it illness or accident?
@@enterthedragon2689 Illness we had known each other for 20 going on 30yrs ..i found out she passed 10days after the event by her neighbors to say i was sad would be a understatment this song ..every word is how we lived our lives .."moon ..sun all remind me of your grace " in the mornign i awoke to her saying "heya Hun" and at night "Good night hun Hugs and kisses" even as i hear this song ..its bueaty just reminds me how happy i was to know her ..and how sad i am i must wait til i can see her again
Man, I wish she was a companion. She's so damn charming!
Very few games bring tears to my eyes, it takes quite the wonderful experience to accomplish that. Within a few hours of playing BG3, I met Alfira and coaxed her to play her song. It was already an amazing experience for an Early Access game, this song sold it for me.
This song is an absolute banger and is the reason I think Alfira is the best character in the game.
I always protect her.
@@ladyselin35 Well, you could do that. Alternatively, you get a really great cloak in early chapter 1. And if you like the song, that's what youtube is for.
@@notalefty999 that save file wont last long if i kill her :p
Dark Urge: "Shame if something happened to her."
We should have got Alfira as a companion instead of bear daddy Halsin.
I'm hooked on BG3, and now I can't stop listening to this song! It's heartbreakingly beautiful. Though it brings tears to my eyes while I remember my dearly departed, it's become a comfort piece for me.
This song was so beautiful I kept reloading the save to listen to it again.
Lost someone close to me and this song is comforting, thought about it, while I am in the recovering stage. I am fine just wanted to share that this song is amazing.
This song is just so lovely. Wouldn't be surprised to see many a player falling in love with Alfira after seeing her perform. 😃
Thank you so much for composing all these awesome songs. It just fills me with joy hearing such excellent music during my playthrough of Baldur's Gate 3!!
I was planning on attacking the grove with the goblins, and this song and moment was just so heartfelt that I had to take a few minutes and reconsider my path.
I saved the grove on my first playthrough and i'm glad i did it, this song really made my day a lot better and encapsulated the feel of the grove, on my 2nd playthrough tho, i will murder each and every one in the grove, hahahaah
I see Borislav Slavov new music - I press Like before even listening to it. No doubts - song will be amazing.
I heard this song for the first time yesterday after saving a couple of squirrels from Alfira's terrible rehearsals. What a beautiful song to listen to as it pans around the beautiful scenery.
My mother passed away last december. Last week I visited her grave and played this song for her. All the love I cant repay...
This song for some reason made me very emotional, the lyrics are just touching
Such a beautiful song, I was tearing up even at the beginning. I hope the VA gets recognized for their amazing talent
I missed a lot my first playthrough. Mr. Slavov is a genius. Can't wait to hear his next masterpiece.
This song sold me this game, I saw in a gameplay (surrealbeliefs) long ago. And here we are, just a couple days of release.
Meeting Alfira genuinely revitalized my love for bards, they're so cool.
When I heard this I felt incredible joy. A little problem though, I'm playing as Dark Urge.
I was so excited, I thought I had a new bard in my party. I was wrong. I was so wrong.
@@agronomius8754I'm having this issue right now
@@agronomius8754Same, I thought wow, there's gonna be a bard in my party, and then my character decided it's time for a bloodbath :/
"Words of mine will turn to ash."
Danke für das tolle Lied und diese Stimme. Gänsehaut pur
I was glad, that my first playthrough was a bard and I did cry at this scene. This scene must have been written by a musician, who understands the struggle.
Imagine a random NPC in a bast game full of npcs, imagine an small sidequest in a game full of interesting side quest. And larian decided just for that small moment, give it a unique song that will play only for that moment.
Larian, you didnt have to go that hard, but we love it.
Thanks Ilona and Borislav for all these great moments
Please, be there in the next Larian IP. we will need it
Best release for my bday! thank you very much Mr. Slavov for you art I wish you the best and i really want you to create music till the end of time! its very inspiring how much you love your work
Вы мастер,очень немногие так смогут.Снимаю шляпу перед Вами.
They designed this beautiful song for a character in a corner of the map that is super easy to miss, most games would put something like this in the main path basically impossible to miss and I wouldn't even blame them is beautiful.
But Larian wanted people to explore and rewards them with amazing stuff like this for doing so.
I love Baldur's Gate 3 as it is, but let me be honest - you perfected this game.
It will take some time to get these songs out of my head...
Thank you.
Borislav has such amazing talent in bringing across feelings in his music i love it
i played with a normal bard first, finished this song with her and genuinely just sat down and thought, then played dark urge on another run and was absolutely heartbroken 😭
Found myself occasionally having this song played in my head, it's truly touching
I just encountered the song on my play trough of the released version of BG3. Just, wow... If there's any more like that, don't tell me, because I was utterly surprised and astound and I like to be surprised like that. I LOVE moments like these! Dragon's Age had them, The Witcher had them and now this game!!
Thank you.
Have you ever played Divinity Original Sin 2? There are moments like this there, too, especially if you play with Lohse.
These song you make are beyond beautiful. They really are a story and journey being sung.
I could get lost listening to the music.
Keep up the brilliant work. I can’t wait to hear what’s next.
Who knew this random one off side quest had a beautiful song attached to it
That's what's so astounding about this game. Even side quests or boss fights that very few will see get amazing soundtracks. A companion a vast majority doesn't even know exists as an option has a fully voiced campaign for those who stumble across them. Stuff like that.
This song is the reason I don't want to play as Dark Urge ever.
@@d66user-purple13 i wasnt expecting that too happen on my current playthrough (playing durge)
i carry her lute around everywhere now, i want to die
@@deeznuttes9340 I understand you completely.
@@deeznuttes9340 Didn't want to multiclass but my Dark Urge Monk will now also be a Bard and honour her that way.
Such a beautiful song and such a sad moment in the game.
Going home after my work shift, can't believe how much this music sets me in the game. As a singer I feel so refreshed and inspired by the performances of these ladies. Thank you for giving everything to bring the story more alive!
Absolutely incredible. Her story is so sad and you can help her with this song... thank you for taking these games and elevating them with your music. 😊
Сама гра шедевр і ваші саундтреки теж шедевральні. Браво маестро=)
You and Pokrovksy have brought so much life and energy to Larian's games, thank you again for another amazing song.
With my senior composition recital coming up, I’m mortified of the things that may go wrong or the deadlines I won’t meet. But I always come back to this piece and I Want to Live, and I fall in love with music again and am reminded of why I started composing to begin with. Thank you for every note and word you share with us 💛
Mr. Slavov, I have been following your work since Divinity Original Sin 2, and still this is one of my favorite soundtracks. In addition, I had the great pleasure to be present at the premiere concert of music from Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 in Wrocław and also seeing you live. I hope that in the future I will also have the opportunity to participate in such a musical performance presenting your next works.
This was a magic moment, I will never forget. Incredibile game. Congratulations to the composer and the singer.
You are a true artist, mr. Slavov. Thank you:).
New headcanon-a redeemed Dark Urge bard makes it their mission to spread this song to the world. They may have failed to save Alfira from the Urge, but they can at least ensure that her music lives on.
First playthrough: “oh my lord almost brought a tear to my eye”
Second playthrough: “holy shit free music proficiency”
Third playthrough: _laughing + lute smashing_
i completely missed alfira on my first playthrough of act 1 but fell in love with her by the end of act 3, so when i restarted on a new save i made sure to seek her out. i had no idea about this cutscene so it was such a lovely surprise, even more so after she asked to stay in our camp during our first long rest. unfortunately, i restarted as the dark urge. sorry alfira
Borislav kicking out another super mood track.
I loved it so much, I recorded in-game highest quality possible.
I love the accompanying string instruments that come out of nowhere. Kind of wish there was more because it starts to make the song feel like an adventure song.
Alfira needs more songs :)
the songs so far has been amazing
Beautiful! I'm itching for the full game soundtrack
Started my first playthrough because friends got me into it, unfortunately I caught a fever so had a hard time while playing. When my friend who was a bard ran up to this lady to show me her song it felt so soothing and I just sat there giving her a listen and just didn't want to leave. Got some rest later and gave it a listen from this video and feel so uplifted 😭. I appreciate running into this character, I think im going to make a tiefling next 😌
Amazing Music! Can't wait for the full game to release! 😁
This and Priscilla's Wolven Storm are 2 cinematics I can never skip, even on subsequent play-throughs.
This song tugs at my soul, I can't handle it man. I love it
Looking at my party’s happy faces during this made me feel so good. Lovely song.
I love this song! 😌 Beautiful vocals.
Another song on my playlist. 🎵
Aaaahhhh, there it is! Majestic!! I can't wait wait to listen to all the new tracks you've been working on!
This lady's voice is majestic.
Just got here after experiencing this song in the game. Absolutely brilliant stuff!
Love this song !!
Best part was the squirrels reaction 😂
Beautiful, as always! Thank you for another amazing piece of music!
How I wish all this beautiful soundtrack on spotify!!! It been long time since game soundtrack been so good.
Never once played DnD, NEVER had once played turn-based game
until for some reason I bought n played Bg3.
At first I was just before regretting buying a game I didn't understand (cause I only played mmorpgs)
and then came this song scene
Now I can't stop playing this amazing game ^_ㅜㅜㅜㅜ
FINALLY. Hearing this theme honestly wanted, for the game to have some way to get Alfira into your party.
My fiancé and I are doing a co-op run and since I love music, I preformed with her. I got the bonus without knowing my monk would get one.
He told me he helped her finish the song. He saved and did a reload and helped her with the song. I heard the whole thing and cried.
We reloaded my save and I still have the preformance bonus.
I am a bard in my single playthrough and I told myself I would get the bonus. I didn't. I helped her finish the song and I bought a lyre to learn the song since it hit close to home and unleash my inner bard.
Can you imagine hearing this song live on some stage with some orchestra behind singer? damn...
[Constitution] Try to not cry because you were excited to hear her play at camp in your durge playthrough.
Ah, wonderful. Clean and clear versions of this officially posted? Much better than the bootleg uploads on TH-cam. 💖
