I'm forever in love with Soule's work from the early 00s era. This kinda music defines fantasy and worldbuilding within me to this day and will likely stay that way for life.
Amen to that. I so hope he gets to work on more games. Discovering a new Jeremy Soule soundtrack gave me the same feeling of wonder and deep gratitude as discovering the latest Hans Zimmer masterpiece
@@Max-px5ym im afraid his activity got cancelled because of sexual harassment accusations eventually. How long is it going to take him to get to work on a new popular game who knows. Plus, imagine those accusations were in fact for a reason lol that would be a bitter blow below the belt
I had no idea he made soundtrack for Icewind Dale, but it makes so much sense, that he'd be behind something SO.FUCKING.GOOD. There's not many people in his league, really.
You can definitely hear Soule’s way of composing in everything he made. He has a super incredible style: in TES, also checkout Mists of Pandaria things like kun-la summit is pure Soule or Guild Wars as well
Jeremy Soule ist probably the best western video game composer, no matter if Guild Wars, Elder Scrolls or DnD, he worlds start to breath with his music!
So much memories... Thank You! You're bring little smile and honest tear of „emotion” to my face. However: This is a truly nostalgic time travel to good old times. Damn! Almoust 34 years of my life just past like one day and, when I look to all of it, i'm starting to fell old and tired. World has changed diamentraly, but this one thing, that music, all memories bound with it - will be placed forever in my heart. Thank You Jeremy Soule, wherever you are and whatever you're doing. I wish You well!
Nothing will bring back this. Handdrawn backgrounds, sublime music and atmosphere. Black Isle Studios, Bioware...where are they? If you want to play quality games I have a list for ya: Disco Elysium, Pathfinder: Kingmaker, Divine Divinity (and just about anything else those madmen put out). Hope we'll see a revival but it is unlikely. People don't like to read or think for that matter. What happened to Plancescape Torment's dialogues? When you just CLICK on a person and you get a paragraph of description. So beautiful.
Afraid I’m one of the plebs associating Soule with only TES, never looked up other work of his, mea culpa. Sounds like he’s always had a knack for using volume, love his use of crescendo.
My love of Soule's work began with "Kuldahar Town" from the base Icewind Dale game. Jeremy will down in history as the most prolific musician in the gaming realm.
Soule is currently under attack by a #MeToo washout. He has wisely chosen to hunker down and ride out the storm. We may never see him emerge to work his magic again.
Actually, he did it to himself for allegedly raping someone. Bethesda has nothing to do with it. He has since disappeared from doing any music since those allegations were brought up in late 2019.
I'm thankful for this series, they still hold up and in my opinion better than other modern cRPGs :) I do have a question though, where were you able to download these maps in such high resolution? I'm been looking to use them for my own D&D sessions!
I agree. The reason behind this is because the motives and interest of the developers were founded upon integrity and a genuine desire to make the best game they possibly could. For example the lead developer and writer of Black Isle's Baldur's Gate had purposefully read every Forgotten Realms written at the time prior to writing the content for those games. You don't see that type of dedication in today's developers; and if you do, it is isolated to just that person rather than the entire team sharing the same fire. Gamers from that generation cared more than today's new generation of casual gamers.
"Jeremy, you're the god of fantasy music. Love you~ " The note says. It appears that beside the note lays an offering bowl to some kind of god. Could this "Jeremy" be a Daedric Prince of Song?
Although the history line of this game maybe be poor, everything else is a master piece... The music is brilliant and also the scenario's.Look like hand painted, such beautiful colors and landscape !! Great game!
I always equated Buldur's Gate with the intimate struggles of the Hero's Journey, but Icewind Dale was laid out as the cold, merciless life of mercenary adventurers. Those that venture to the Spine of The World dare not hope for beauty and freindship, only to survive one more day.

@@orestsorokovyi189 Thanks for not dismissing them entirely at least.
@@Balloonbot Are there any police report confirming those accusations?
@@jacksonpeds5298 Havnt heard any news on it since.

Jeremy's work is iconic. Even from Icewind Dale you can trace the similarities with TES soundtrack and other works of J. Soule.
"Similarities"? xD
@@HA-gu1qk I mean the use of instruments and overall tune of the songs. I know Soule's the composer for TES since Morrowind.
and NWN

Soule is the goat game composer, truly
Bring back Soule.
Femi-nazi have won(
those are the people who should earn grammys or oscars for best soundtracks! sadly so underrated!!!
Thx for upload!

Nothing gold can stay
and Pillars of eternity
Try Pathfinder Kingmaker and Wrath of the Righteous and then there is something new, but strangely familiar with Baldurs Gate 3
Archanum - made by former Interplay staff
@@adniknax8064 Pathfinder? Timed quests? Woke content? Terrible difficulty balance? It could have been good but unfortunately it is not.
Oh the memories that this brings back. Best music in any game I have played. Nothing else can come close to it.
This is great!
The slow panning through the town is a nice touch.
I never did end up finishing Icewind Dale for some reason.

Lonelywood seems like such a nice place, pretty quiet and far away from all the madness of the big cities
I kind of wish I could take Jeremy Soule and Inon Zur and mash them together. That would be the ultimate music composer for video games.
My love of Soule's work began with "Kuldahar Town" from the base Icewind Dale game. Jeremy will down in history as the most prolific musician in the gaming realm.
I'll end up modding Soule's music into the next elder scrolls. If it's ever released

Perfect
They dont make RPGs with such music anymore.
Baldur gate 3 is coming and diablo 4 looks really good keep hope!
@@cebonlespatates After Diablo Immoral and all the latest Blunders BlizzarCtivision finds herself in, fuch'em.
why is nobody making graphics like this in videogames nowdays ?
Baldurs Gate, IWD, NWN, Planescape, are the s-tier founding fatherscof the genre ❤
Bethesda are absolute fools for not keeping Jeremy Soule.
Actually, he did it to himself for allegedly raping someone. Bethesda has nothing to do with it.

@@lemystere5345 I've gotten into AD&D 2e and I must say that I am shocked by the amount of lore that was lost around the year 2000.
on icewind dale wiki, it has full map for every article about a location

@@Ragitsu Soon it will rise again, resurrected by powers yet unknown.
"Jeremy, you're the god of fantasy music. Love you~ "

Elder Scrolls morrowind vibes
oh thanks ¡¡ thats super great ¡¡¡ Could you do something similar with baldurs gate 2 ost?
Possibly!
i really like the cohesive music style of Jeremy. You could put this track into TES game and it still would fit.
Less well. Which is a good thing for this music.

Coolio
The cover looks like game
It's not actually a cover, this is what the area looks like as you traverse the game. :)
From what game is in the background image?
Icewind Dale: Heart of Winter
Jeremy must reserve his talents for TES only smh
