04 Baldur's Gate 3 Original Soundtrack - Who Are You

[@Veloziraptor111]

Ah yes, the song that will be playing in everyone's heads today as we agonize over indecisions in the character creator.

[@juliappoki]

Also the song that will be playing in people's heads as we agonize over the hair and makeup that we can't change 37 hours into the story haha.

[@Zarkarin]

@@juliappoki iirc, now there is actually an option to customize your character again later on by talking to Withers.

[@juliappoki]

​@@Zarkarin You can talk to Withers but only to change your class. You can't change your appeareance after the character is created. The devs have said last month that they were working on something, so hopefully it'll come out soon!

[@Zarkarin]

@@juliappoki Damn I thought that was out now. Well there is a mod for it on Nexus probably but that's not an optimal solution.

[@juliappoki]

@@Zarkarin The biggest problem with most of them as far as I know is that they can break achievements. I'm still on my first playthrough, so hopefully the official solution comes out soon haha

It will be glorious! *Ends up being called Butts*

[@ASSIST_]

Tav.

[@miroslavlatinovic475]

If anyone starts wondering like I did what the sound that starts at 0:47 is, it's a violin technique called Ponticello. I love it even thought it's a bit dark and ominous

[@dpetrov32]

so hekin darkie and mysterioso!!! truuuu!!!

[@rat_dragon]

cello does it nicely as well...fantastic technique

[@StoutShako]

This is the best first impression a game has ever made on me. As soon as I heard it, I knew it would be instantly nostalgic. It didn't feel like starting a new game. It felt like coming home to an old friend.

[@HollowbrandChannel]

I'm 6 hours into this game and it had me hooked from the start, and just as first impression i think it might one of the best games i played this year, if not ever.

[@-_Nuke_-]

"This is the best first impression a game has ever made on me" Hallo theme, am I a joke to you?

[@highdefinition450]

lol what

[@ErinKlassen]

"It felt like coming home to an old friend." is a perfect description. 🙂

[@thecheck968]

I did my research before buying the game and escaped character creation in only an hour. Truly felt like a speedrun.

[@AK-qh6lr]

I've grinded on Hero Forge so much it takes me, like, 10 minutes

[@00ABBITT00]

IDK man, you haven't really lived until you've heard this song loop for the ninth time because you've made and then nuked and remade your character 28 times.....

[@derrvin]

Those first tracks made spending time in character creator an absolute pleasure, thank you Mr Slavov

[@Aldussss]

The first time i heard this song, i was like OH MY GOD this game is going to be amazing. ps: THE GAME IS AMAZING

[@dapizzasnake8462]

Good to hear you like this game. I hope your next roll is a 20.

[@Shifft-This]

Bruh, I'm on Act 3 of this game and it's just been so fucking good this whole time. This music has stuck with me even when I'm at work, or out with friends. The music is almost haunting but in the best way. Such a phenomenal job. The atmosphere, composition, and the lasting nostalgia you get from hearing the chord progressions in this set is simply PHENOMENAL. Thank you for being an integral part of this experience through this story. Through this journey. Hats off to the musician. A bow is in order. I'm glad to have been one of the first people to experience this journey of Baldur's Gate.

[@celestebigaignon6054]

I just love that you know what's happening based on the song. Raphael's theme, Down By The RIver, Nineteen Strikes, Baldrun's theme... It's simply stunning.

[@rat_dragon]

@@celestebigaignon6054 and the fact that the song of balduran's lyrics are literally the whole game haha

[@djubbi]

Me too Bro, me too...

[@ridergilwin1494]

This was it. The first moment. Ground fucking zero. This was the moment I knew this game would be different to so many other I had played. So much better.

[@BadaBadger]

I’m… a Dragonborn. I remember, I’m an Entertainer. The fine makings of a Bard!

[@lustinlis413]

Cant wait for the next project done side by side with Larian.. Genius composer and amazing developers team!

[@MortivationNation]

Dude, your music is actually incredible. Thank you so much for making this for the game

[@ichi_san]

this music is hauntingly beautiful

[@D.20]

It tingles the imagination while you make your character, dreaming of adventures to come.

[@Shrine_07]

*presses proceed after hours of creation* "Oh fuck there's another one?"

[@r.coachman3499]

RIGHT?!

[@20storiesunder]

So ominous. I hear the dread and tension underlying the beauty.

[@GeorgeWashingtonLaserMusket]

It feels me with the warm and fuzzies. Embrace the darkness.

[@cricrofinou]

Thanks to this song for making me cry while holding Bae'zel's hand watching that beautiful sunrise 🥹

[@zylvory08]

Absolutely love this music so beautiful, it goes perfectly with the story and the background of the game !! A pleasure to listen it over and over ! 😮

[@Alex-qw6vh]

This melody is absolutely gorgeous ♥

[@ethansilverfox]

You really did an amazing job with the music! I‘m so excited to play it finally 😄🎉

[@Fargyy]

downloading by the river

[@felcookies6539]

One of the best ost, no doubt about it

[@sleepyintoner]

i LOVE that this uses elements of the bhaal motif!!

[@F1shyBab1shy]

Like, the title screen?

[@sleepyintoner]

@@F1shyBab1shy no, the bhaal motif that plays sometimes when orin is on screen or in the murder tribunal. the organ in the background.

[@nikollor]

Borislav, your work is half of all game experiences i have. Thank you for all that i suffered.

[@TheLegendoftheWhiteWolf]

I can't stop listening to this. Mr Slavov, you may be someone I work with in the future. Good luck in your endeavors. 😇

[@hendryk5968]

Goosebumps guaranteed

[@quaidrowan]

This reminded me, in spirit, of that classic scene in the Simpsons when Milhouse is playing "Bonestorm", the hot new video game everyone wants. He's sitting in front of his tv like he's blown away by the gameplay and all he's done is enter his name (Thrilhou). Same vibes creating a character in this game with this music playing.

[@coinflip88]

nothing new, another one fantastic work from Borislav! 😍

[@nolabrah]

Masterpiece. This absolutely set the mood when I first started this game. Bravo! 👏👏👏

[@maleficus62]

Nah the first Time it's AAAAA EEEEE

[@Infiltrator_]

This was the perfect sound track to use for Laezels act 3 romance scene.

[@Lother1n]

Take heart young Paladins, let no fear shake your resolve; the light within us is eternal.

[@Dorklina]

So beautiful!! 😍

[@manuelcastellanosjr4929]

The singing is so beautiful

[@emanuelpineda4527]

Por el resto de mi vida recordare tu bella musica, gracias.

[@Double0Inside]

"I used to hate that sight..."

[@NarkleBerry]

“Now I revel in it”

[@Wrzerq]

As much as I love main theme and appreciate that it's perfectly in style of earlier Baldur Game titles, I think it was a wise call to have a more chill tune play on loop during character creation. I remember spending time rolling stats in Shadows of Amn and after chill part, the theme goes back to this loud entrance again as if telling me "hurry up you moron, how long is it going to take you".

[@vanpiisu88]

I loove this soundtrack sooo much 😍🥰.

[@Astranaa]

It reminds me so much of Chimera's Wreck from Porcupine Tree

[@martinvolf2607]

I cannot stop listening, send help... ...on second thought, please don't.

[@cometoftruth2838]

the part around 1:20 really reminded me of the hollow knight green path soundtrack and i love it.

[@xabi-sides]

Reminds me of character creation music from Ultima Online, which is a fantastic coincidence

[@medusawitchful]

I stuck with this song for hours

[@maddiboss5510]

Damn, its so good. Thank God for this amazing soundtrack and of course for the composer with orchestra. Пожалуйста, Борис, продолжайте творить и дальше, ваша музыка слово пение ангелов, которые спустились с небес вместе с разработчиками этой шикарнейшей игры.

[@bamcki991]

POV: You're about to make your 12th Tav that you will not even get past act one with

[@arnoldovicus]

I spend an hour in the character creator listening to this music and then I had to start creating my character...

[@Calebe_Sagaz]

**Flashbacks of you 2hrs trying to create a perfect character** 🤣

[@marekkoutny368]

Excelent ❤ thank you Borislav

[@RahulSingh-zo7sm]

2:08 Why are people not mentioning this part more? Its a beautiful variation to the leitmotif

[@Yomigandr]

Ya'll talking about character creation, but this is also the song that plays when she finally proposes to me to stay at her side: FOR GOOD! And I will probably cry every fucking time I hear this.

[@perahoky]

musical perfection

[@mr.goldfinch3681]

Fits perfectly for my Seldarine drow bard heroine.

[@enderajda6844]

Goosebumps, every damn time...

[@RainbowEssence-c3w]

Damn this thing played for like an hour straight while I agonized over my character lol. But it's so pretty, I almost didn't mind. Still beautiful! I love how it incorporates the melody from "Down By The River" as well, it's a really cool leitmotif and I notice that quite a few of the songs that play throughout the game have that same brief melody/couple of chords! Very sublime, very cool.

[@darkwarrior5149]

I am Valariath. Soldier of the Baludarian army, and now Paladin of Vengeance. I am nothing more than an instrument of violence and vengeance. Stand in my path, either move, stand beside me, or be crushed. My fight against those who hurt others is fueled by my own pain. My own last name, nonexistent. Let it be my blood that is spilled so others may have a last name of their own.

[@DebbyMargMusic]

❤Beautiful....

[@channman201]

still the best song

[@kawaimango69]

Borislav Slavov я горжусь что у славянского народа есть такой талант как ты, привет из России❤

[@otacon6566]

I play this every time I create a new character in the video game Baldurs Gate 3.

[@ko2i4s68]

Thank you so much n A bard should be named borislav !

[@themask7363]

“Who are you?”

[@F1shyBab1shy]

“You need a guardian, choose one”

Quando você escuta pela primeira vez vc sabe que o jogo vai ser bom

[@MM-ry3qi]

Чарующее пение, каждый раз как дурак заходя в игру захожу в меню создание персонажа и слушаю )

[@SmailKing78]

Не грех добавить в плейслист честно. Мало какая музыка может вызвать столько ассоциаций.

[@highdefinition450]

been hearing this fuckin song for hours lmao make it stop please

[@peters6904]

Master piece.... cestito!

[@ninjificus]

lol, I just hear "WHO ARE YOU" at the beginning of this even without making a character xD

[@ninjificus]

rofl and then I actually read the title of the song....

[@aurumferro]

"who are you?"

[@SillyEveryDay]

I had some DnD characters made before BG3 came out, so when I finally played it, I already knew what to make so I didn't spend 10 hours in the character creation. I mean I still spent a lot of time in there but definitely less than I expected.

[@OnZaRize]

Spinning my character seeing how high I can raise his tail while waiting on my indecisive friends to finish theirs.

[@leflyxdvd]

the intro reminds me of a song from "hair" that musical but it was male and a bit faster

[@blakebraswell9095]

I stayed in the character creator two hours longer for the music! 😂

[@farenk8303]

❤

[@krajicsek13]

This plays rent free in my character GusTav's head

[@nitehawk86]

**puts on sunglasses** I really wanna know...

[@thunderlord3747]

Of course they had to use this song for the goty orchestra

[@TheLukastl]

WHO ARE YOU

[@gfdgfdgfdgfdgfdgd]

[@jakubgrzybek6181]

I'm Elessar half elf Palladin from Oath of the Acients order. Protector of natural staus, upholder of oaths, vanquisher of all evil. Just in judgement, swift with retribution. Rightfull heir of Gondor.

[@mostlypixels2975]

I am Gorbo the halfling bard. Total asshole.

[@lankthedank6931]

I am Duma, Dragonborn Paladin. (Oath of Vengeance) Named after a God from the Fire Emblem Series, I deliver all things Justice. I represent power. Also, I have a vag for some reason. Why not?

[@Meg_Schmidt]

Ah, the song I hear for 2 hours straight while making my character. At least it’s beautiful and not annoying lol.

[@tylorpeacemaker3199]

"Who are You?"

[@namekiz3199]

Weren't there lyrics to part of this song? Something something "down by the river"? Is this the short version?

[@tsalih9876]

The full sung version is later in the playlist, it’s called down by the river

[@luv_sic]

Instrumental version of this song plays in our final moments with Lae'zel... This made me cry :(

Does anybody know name of female singer in this song?

[@inian78]

Mariya Anastasova

[@SuperMoine777]

As much as I love the music, I prefered the Early Access singer's voice, way smoother.

[@AuralTv7]

Im trying to find that version but i dont find it 😔

[@SirBisgaard]

Apple music?

[@onevin9surh]

누구냐 넌?

[@luv_sic]

We need instrumental version :(

[@tayo_95]

A bit of audio tearing/crackling at the start of this one. Don't know if it's a compression issue or my headphones?

[@serijas737]

Ur headphones bro

[@leflyxdvd]

i hear no issues?

[@angelayang1850]

Sounds fine to me, probably headphones.

"Choose your guardian" *spoiler thoughts* . . . . . . . . . bro idk how to recreate Balduran....

[@02091992able]

I think this is also a tune a music box plays in the ward wing of the house of healing in Act 2. One of those music boxes that you crank, and it has the metal fingers running over a metal cylinder.
