I remember bursting out in song at the goblin camp, and 2 other goblins joined in and started playing. It was such a cool experience just before I killed every single one of them.
Dude for real. You NAILED my thoughts. I just forwarded this to a friend and said "I wasn't prepared for the flute banger, but astarion drops in with his violin and it becomes godlike."
This is another example of just how much attention and care have been put into the game. Truly a masterpiece of development, and a breath of fresh air in such a sea of mediocre products.
The first Dragon Age game was a passion project, same goes for World of Warcraft, Starcraft/Broodwar, or Diablo. A lot of games today are formulaic crap pushed out by companies more interested in more profit than in the actual art form that is video games. Same goes for movies these days - so much formulaic check marks beside a list of features to have uninspiring garbage in terms of actual story and production value films being prroduced. Baldur's Gate 3 is a passion project, done by a company lead by passionate people who love to create systems to facilitate good story.
@@formes2388Couldn't agree more. I don't think there's a better place to display a development team's passion than within their games. Elden Ring was also one of those absolute diamonds in the rough. I'm about to finish BG3 and I wish it would never end lol, same feeling I had as with Elden Ring.
Its what happens when the workers have more of a say than the stockholders. All our products and lives would be better without the owning class (as opposed to the working class).
After a few more projects from Larian with versions of the same song, someone will put together a video showing their progression with all of the ratings, awards and epic moments set to one of these songs.
Hearing this song in this game makes me feel like Lohse, the Red Prince, and all the DoS2 party and adventures are an ancient dream, like a faded memory ! HUGE melancholy kick ! Thanks for that!
The DoS2 theme did that for me 😢 I am 100% gonna replay DoS2 after I am done with BG3 (which will take a while, just started a new durge playthru. Still)
@@plamenistia Lohse is on Nettie's chambers and Sebille is at the hag's house. I'm still searching for Red Prince since he is my fav character from dos2
Gale and Astarion trading off those melody lines like they wrote the song themselves. And a lute and lyre really are the perfect accompaniment instruments, with a nice rhythm by Minsc. I love this!
you sure it doesn't automatically make them play together? There was a little "+" on the perform, I presumed it implied they start together. Perhaps not?
@@AwesomeZpyGamer Ya. It's kind of awesome that I can't tell if the game automatically syncs the musicians up, or if the video maker just timed it well enough.
I still remember the first time I freed Lohse from the demon's hold in DoS2, the fact that you get to hear her sing an actual song in-game is such a great reward for all the time you spend fighting through everything to get her to freedom. Much better than some piece of equipment or OP accessory as a quest reward
Totally agree with the choice of musical instrument for each band member. You clearly didn't just hand them out randomly and that makes this video even more awesome. P.S. I'd realy love to see Gale and Astarion as 70's glam rockers and Minsk as a band drummer .
If only this was on Spotify, this is perfect music for driving on a desolate road, no destination in sight, just following the setting sun and feeling free
And just like that for 5 minutes and a half a whole journey I once had along the roads of Rivellon flood to me like the mighty Source itself. Seeing those BG3 characters playing this song really gives me the feeling of the continuation of a glorious legacy. I'll always remember Lohse, The Beast, Sebille, Ifan, the Red Prince and Fane just like I hope I'll always remember Shadowheart, Karlach, Gale, Astarion, Wyll and Lae'zel. I thanks the power music have to help you remember and experience once again the emotions of your memories. Thank you for this video
It's more or less the anthem of my favorite character from DoS2. It's incredibly thematic for her character motivations and the moment she is able to freely sing it is easily one of the more powerful moments in the story.
I know I already commented here a few months ago, but I need to thank you again. These videos are what convinced me to buy the game. Since then I've played through it twice, and hitting credits for the last time was just... magical. It's been quite a journey and left so much more of an impact on me than I ever anticipated. Baldur's Gate 3 has been something truly special, and for me, it all started here, with this song. Very excited to play the game this song actually originated from.
awesome video. if you rescue Volo and Alfria, and the rest of the Teiflings, during the party at your camp, you can get those 2 to join you in a song and have all the instruments playing at once. If you have no instrument and "perform" I think you will whistle along.
I'm currently playing thru DOS2 with my 3 brothers. We've been playing that campaign for over a year now!! It's so tough to find time together, and when we do, we can only play for few hours. Lately i got very emotionally invested in the game since it seems we're nearing the end!!! I've listened to the ost on my own time because it's just too good...i never played games like that and propably never would have if i hadn't been invited to join in this campaign. i'm surprised how much i have grown to love it!!! Makes me emotional to listen to these renditions in BG3! After i have played both Divinity games, i will be sure to check out this one!! I'm sure it will be as amazing as everyone says it is, bcz i love DOS2 so much too and it seems this game studio really puts love and care in their games, can be seen even in features like forming a band and playing songs from a past game🥹💗
This game probably could've fetched $100 a copy. People would've complained, but it is so worth it or more. So much content and so much replayability. It's a masterpiece we'll be playing for years.
I just teared up, had no idea you could do this. Brought back so many memories from divinity2 and Lohse 's character story end... Just beautiful that they included this.
I want to thank you from the bottom I’ve my heart. I’m buying this game but couldn’t decide between a lawful good battle orc and a tiefling bard. I think you finally broke that tie for me
"In many ways, the beating of the drum is similar to the kicking of the butts. And Minsc is an expert at the butt-kicking! ... Hmm...? Yes, Boo, you can have a turn at the drum hitting as well, but be careful to not hit the drum too hard! ...Minsc cannot afford another one."
Astarion's absolutely shredding that violin lmao. What a beautiful video. I always play that song during battle but never thought of playing it as a band
Why am I about to cry 😭 I’m nearing the end of the game and everything is so tense and emotional and seeing all the boys playing this gorgeous music together is going to break me
In DoS2 there was a moment in the last fight when fight music calmed down and divinity sin started to play in silence, it was amazing. Now in BG3 when I have bard in my party I can create this amazing sound effect in every battle and it is one of the best things in the game!
Thanks for making this. I haven't played Larian's games - whether it's the Divinity games or Baldur's Gate 3. I did however just stumble upon Lohse's song recently and have been listening on repeat for like a hundred times. And this is a wonderful homage to it. A great wind down after voraciously consuming an absolute banger of a tune. So thanks! Also, I might have to give the Divinity games a chance. Heard good things.
They make the game really enjoyable and exciting to play with a co-op party. Probably the best way to experience the intended impact of the game! (I'm sure a follow up single player run-through would still be fun to immerse yourself).
m8 there are 3 video games in the world that have made me straight up ugly cry and Larian made 2 of them. They are masterpieces, I’m not using the term lightly.
YES play it!! Play it before bg3 even, if you feel like it, coz then you get to experience the evolution in sequence. If the song hit you, the game will too I promise!
Ive played THOUSANDS of hours in DOS2 and that song just brings back so many fun memories from that game and how much I loved it. I really thank Larion for adding that for us OG players of Larion Games.
Now we need all the songs back-to-back, normal and DLC, played in this manner. Bonus if you get a Bard for whistling since I rarely see any vids that display what happens when a Bard has no instrument + the whistling sounds great with everything else. :3 Also, love the instrument choices for Minsc and Astarion in particular.
Didn't realize it until just now but my next playthrough is going to be Lohse, freshly freed from Adramahlihk only to get immediately stuck with a tadpole and dropped off in the Forgotten Realms.
I was just going to watch a few videos and eat supper before I turned on Baldur's Gate. But, thanks to this video, I have re-evaluated my life and I don't really see why I need to eat. BG3, here I come!!!
It's so refreshing to play a game the developers gave one tiny shit about....I honestly can't remember another lol it's games like this that show the industry isn't dead yet.
Today I was suddenly missed this song and Lohse, it is amazing that they add it to baldur's gate 3 and listening to these make me remember my journey on knowing the story of Lohse. At first ,I didn't like her, she is unstable and weird, and her whole bard background doesn't really interest me until the game starts revealing what the hell wrong with Lohse. Then I decide to do a playthrough as her and do her entire questline, woow.. that was a ride! And the song stuck in my head!
what a magical, beautful idea! It makes me so emotive, as if I know all these people personally (ok, in a sense I do ;)), and now they play the most beautiful song... my favourite boy band! ;) thank you!
I remember bursting out in song at the goblin camp, and 2 other goblins joined in and started playing. It was such a cool experience just before I killed every single one of them.
Lol 😂
💀
Not only men?
You had us in the first half 😂
music- the universal language. Love conquers all
Love how everyone on the internet somehow agreed Astarion plays violin. Never seen him with a different instrument :)
classiest bard instrument lol
It's a show stealer and so is he, haha.
saw someone give him a drum without any levels in bard XD it was adorable. he was trying so hard lol
I gave violin to Wyll, since he's giving me Paganini vibes
@@Kaszkieciorz_TGwho's that?
Yooo, Gale came out swinging with the flute and Astarion topped it off perfectly.
The two are definitely the Highlights here
Dude for real. You NAILED my thoughts. I just forwarded this to a friend and said "I wasn't prepared for the flute banger, but astarion drops in with his violin and it becomes godlike."
So youre saying astarion topped gale?
@@tijnhollanders6932this community is ceaselessly horny...
Asterion and Gale trying to steal the show, like normal
What do you mean, "trying"
@@GigiBranconi Because they have each other to contend with.
@@WolfedOutI think he meant “trying” as in “wdym? they’re stealing the show effortlessly”
Then there's Minsc just vibing
The violin and flute parts go beautifully together.
E
Just in case you didn't know, you can actually whistle in this game! Hit the perform button without an instrument :)
WHAT
I just learned it yesterday in my solo playthrough and now I'm going to go through the entire playthrough just whistling tunes away.
I’ll have karlach on the whistle then!!!
Jesus Christ i can’t believe it
Yeah Volo actually whistles if you play near him lol
Astarion: Oh, that's too bad. Let me play Faerûn's smallest violin for you.
PLEASE💀

Dragon Age, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, Elden Ring, and now Bg3 ❤ (even if I don't have it lol)
I cant express how much i love that Larian put songs from Dos2 in BG3 in such way it's not invasive at all, but everyone appreciates them
After a few more projects from Larian with versions of the same song, someone will put together a video showing their progression with all of the ratings, awards and epic moments set to one of these songs.
Tavern song from Divinity is the one I loved a lot for its evolutions. Slow and speed up version. Then battle theme with a hint of it. 😊
i played bg3 right after dos2 with lohse. this excites me much
Hearing this song in this game makes me feel like Lohse, the Red Prince, and all the DoS2 party and adventures are an ancient dream, like a faded memory ! HUGE melancholy kick ! Thanks for that!
The DoS2 theme did that for me 😢 I am 100% gonna replay DoS2 after I am done with BG3 (which will take a while, just started a new durge playthru. Still)
Man I know exactly what you mean, a story from another world in another age that has long since been concluded. Somehow made me feel nostalgic haha
You can find Fane's portrait in Wither's temple.
@@MaximilianBrandt I've found one of the Red Prince and Beast as well, I'm sure the rest are somewhere as well :)
@@plamenistia Lohse is on Nettie's chambers and Sebille is at the hag's house. I'm still searching for Red Prince since he is my fav character from dos2
Gale and Astarion trading off those melody lines like they wrote the song themselves. And a lute and lyre really are the perfect accompaniment instruments, with a nice rhythm by Minsc. I love this!
Ikr! Perfect 😭
One of the million reasons of why I love this game. Thanks Larian.
E
I always give Wyll the flute once he has horns it just looks right for some unexplainable reason
When you put it like that, it reminded me of a narnia character playing the flute to Lucy
Gale boasts about his skills using his tongue and mouth, He definitely should use the flute.
You're probably thinking of Pan. He's a goatman who play instruments, usually the pan flute or other flutes in artwork.
@@Menacing-Mercy That's it! I had forgotten about that myth. I was thinking it was the Satyr from Chronicles of Narnia but it was Pan.
I agree, but the flute with Gale also fits cause of what happens when he dies. Additionally I also agree with Asterion with the violin.
I hope modders end up putting even more songs in would be cool to get bonus bard song packs.
I hope that happens too!
Like Toss A Coin To Your Witcher ?
@@barbuck1272And probably something from Doom, because of course they will.
Eff saving the world. We're going on tour.
Your timing was perfect, really incredible work!

@@AwesomeZpyGamer Ya. It's kind of awesome that I can't tell if the game automatically syncs the musicians up, or if the video maker just timed it well enough.

Yeah he was just making it cooler by layering the parts. They play in sync.
I still remember the first time I freed Lohse from the demon's hold in DoS2, the fact that you get to hear her sing an actual song in-game is such a great reward for all the time you spend fighting through everything to get her to freedom. Much better than some piece of equipment or OP accessory as a quest reward

Totally agree with the choice of musical instrument for each band member. You clearly didn't just hand them out randomly and that makes this video even more awesome.
P.S. I'd realy love to see Gale and Astarion as 70's glam rockers and Minsk as a band drummer .
E
Especially because Gale’s death wallet has the magic flute in it
And then Dark Urge casts Thunderwave Lv.6 to push them off the cliff because Larian Std. is cool like that.
If only this was on Spotify, this is perfect music for driving on a desolate road, no destination in sight, just following the setting sun and feeling free
And just like that for 5 minutes and a half a whole journey I once had along the roads of Rivellon flood to me like the mighty Source itself.

Thank you for this video
💙
They've already confirmed that another Divinity game is in the works.
Holy hell the flute came out at the exact right time
Never played the game before, never heard the song before, i came in thinking it was gonna be funny or something but this is just beautiful
this song isnt from this game.
@@DieGurke_ yeah its from DOS:2 right?
@@Yuuki-jp4ob yes
It's more or less the anthem of my favorite character from DoS2. It's incredibly thematic for her character motivations and the moment she is able to freely sing it is easily one of the more powerful moments in the story.
I love this so much!
it has absolutely no reason to be in the game but Larian studios is just so passionate and love what they make and this is proof

This is so amazing. The level of detail and care that went into this game is massive. Thats why it is already now the best game of rhe decade imo
This song is quest reward in DOS2 and one of the most amazing endings to a quest I have ever seen.
"Where did the boys run off to now?"
The Boys:
That’s it, this is game of the year. No contest.

the excessive flourishes of the flute really suit gale. good work!
Still gives me goosebumps, was such an epic moment in DOS 2! Being able to recreate that feeling in BG 3 is just awesome!
This game probably could've fetched $100 a copy. People would've complained, but it is so worth it or more. So much content and so much replayability. It's a masterpiece we'll be playing for years.
In Australia it’s $105 and I bought it so 🤷
I just teared up, had no idea you could do this. Brought back so many memories from divinity2 and Lohse 's character story end... Just beautiful that they included this.
I want to thank you from the bottom I’ve my heart. I’m buying this game but couldn’t decide between a lawful good battle orc and a tiefling bard. I think you finally broke that tie for me
OK! you just made me create a group of bards now and play the entire campaign again for the 17th time
Minsc playing the drum is fitting
"In many ways, the beating of the drum is similar to the kicking of the butts. And Minsc is an expert at the butt-kicking! ... Hmm...? Yes, Boo, you can have a turn at the drum hitting as well, but be careful to not hit the drum too hard! ...Minsc cannot afford another one."
Played the cracked version but I'll be waiting for the discount so I can pay larian studio for the amazing experience theyy gave me.
Loved the staggered entry.
Ive done this so many times. Its nice to see how devs get music and games are so intertwined
Whoever made this, bless your soul forever. This is brilliant
Lohse grabbing Tav by the neck:
"Look what they need to mimic a fraction of my power!"
Astarion's absolutely shredding that violin lmao. What a beautiful video. I always play that song during battle but never thought of playing it as a band
Timed the flute section perfectly! Beautifully done!
Why am I about to cry 😭 I’m nearing the end of the game and everything is so tense and emotional and seeing all the boys playing this gorgeous music together is going to break me
Thank you Larian Studios. I bought the deluxe edition when i saw this video. I really appreciate you adding this memorable song to Baldur's Gate 3.
Astarion and Gale WAITED for their spotlight chance... and stole the damn show
In DoS2 there was a moment in the last fight when fight music calmed down and divinity sin started to play in silence, it was amazing. Now in BG3 when I have bard in my party I can create this amazing sound effect in every battle and it is one of the best things in the game!

This game never ceases to amaze me, Im 800 hours in and have never thought to do this sweet jam!
Ladies and gentlemen, the Baldur's street boys!
I feel enthralled, someone's picking my pocket while I'm watching and I haven't noticed yet.
Their shadows are pretty mesmerising to watch
So now have to respec all my characters into bards to perform a concert. Got it.
Nice job! I personally never got the mod to work, glad someone was able to get a full band together.
My kinda boy band right there. But for real, this is freaking amazing. Thank you for making it.
why should it be remembered as the greatest rpg ever made? THIS IS WHY!
I love this game too much
Now I need to see it with the whislting too :D
God I love this game and the community. ❤
it would be lovely to hear Lohse sing over this iteration of the song
Now we need all the songs back-to-back, normal and DLC, played in this manner. Bonus if you get a Bard for whistling since I rarely see any vids that display what happens when a Bard has no instrument + the whistling sounds great with everything else. :3 Also, love the instrument choices for Minsc and Astarion in particular.
It is not game of the year, it is game of the century!
I love that you can jam in this game. Playing with Alfira and later a bard in Baldur's Gate was amazing
Being able to jam together makes this game a 10/10 for me😂
Didn't realize it until just now but my next playthrough is going to be Lohse, freshly freed from Adramahlihk only to get immediately stuck with a tadpole and dropped off in the Forgotten Realms.
Got me tearing up and everything, thank you so much
man I love the bardstreet boys
people still questioning why this got game of the year?
I just imagine finishing the game and play myself a tribute/outro song like that. Epic!
Wow I had no idea you could play a whole band in the game!!! BG3 is constantly surprising me with new depths to it's mechanics.
I love Baldur's gate 3
And watch this
I love BG3 even more and more
einfach unglaublich wie viel Liebe ins Detail Larian Studios uns hier mit diesem Meisterwerk herbeigezaubert hat
The song already was great but man Astarion and Gale coming in at the end just stealing the show!
I love when the devs do such little easter eggs connecting their games, this is amazing!
This is so beautiful, thank you for taking the time to make this💚🖤
I was just going to watch a few videos and eat supper before I turned on Baldur's Gate. But, thanks to this video, I have re-evaluated my life and I don't really see why I need to eat. BG3, here I come!!!
It's so refreshing to play a game the developers gave one tiny shit about....I honestly can't remember another lol it's games like this that show the industry isn't dead yet.
Dragons Age Origins was the first and last I remember, before BG3.
I saw this and decided that I want to make a Drow that dual wields hand crossbows and plays a lute. Like a stereotype cowboy. A Drowboy, if you will.
the nods to divinity original sin in this game always hit me in the feels
Today I was suddenly missed this song and Lohse, it is amazing that they add it to baldur's gate 3 and listening to these make me remember my journey on knowing the story of Lohse.

Not me, the moment I heard her imitated the sheep noise at the very begining. I knew she's my favorite character.
Ah yes, Gale and his practiced tongue.
All party bards i understand, but 5 ppl in party? :O
Great content, i'd buy ticket for their concert! Best band in Faerun
There's a mod for bigger parties. Big shock, I know. ;)
How you gonna play an RPG and not know about modding?
I am floored. I am FLOORED. They actually work as a full band!
*throws 1 gold piece*
This is the best game I ever played. Magnificent.
BG3 is one of the best games ive ever played but i long fir a new dos and i still enjoy dos2 abit mor over bg3. larian are gods
what a magical, beautful idea! It makes me so emotive, as if I know all these people personally (ok, in a sense I do ;)), and now they play the most beautiful song... my favourite boy band! ;)
thank you!
This can be upgraded to 6 by removing and instrument and performing, they'll whistle the song so there'd be 6 unique playstyles at the same time
I love that they put the song of Loshe in this game, it is one of the best sounds for the game ever written
(Absolute)ly wonderful.
All i heard to begin with was "Hey now, all you sinners.... keep your lights on"
Imagine just walking through the countryside and then seeing these mad lads just jamming on a cliffside :)
looks like the Boys are back in town
I remember playing this as Lohse after killing Adramalikh, chills
What's really fun is when you can talk to animals and play music with them... and talk to the dead too.
