I was figuring out what races and subraces there are, how to combine them, what skills I can get, thinking about how I should rp and stuff like that And customization is not only 5 faces, so many other things, I picked up color and shape of the horns of my character like 20 minutes.

[@looseGoose878]

Kind of smart of them to put this song in the character creation. The melody is very distinctive and most people spend a lot of time building their characters. So already this leitmotif will be ingrained in your head and remembered throughout the game.

[@declancampbell1277]

the song actually signifies the original dream lover (your tadpole) seducing you into staying "down by the river" with her forever. So it makes even more sense for it being in character creation because the character youre creating is currently unconscious on an ilithid ship. The song is basically "the absolute" trying to assert conrtrol over you. I imagine all the other "true souls" heard something very similar after being infected. Sadly they reworked the story and replaced the dream lover with the guardian, so it doesnt quite fit anymore. Still awesome to think about though! Kinda ironic you mentioned that the song will ingrain itself in the players head, cause thats what its doing to the character too!

[@Shifft-This]

People don't give enough credit to how much music is a part of the epic journeys of fantasy stories. The score to The Lord of the Rings is just as important as the film itself. It's the music that guides you in how you should be feeling about a particular scene. DoS 2 did this very well, and I expect Baldur's Gate 3 will be the same even though I'm only about 40 hours or so in.

[@tomvittino]

Same! Also while on the Main Menu I don't want to load the game until I've heard the intro song.

[@lepouf6910]

This song is about Daisy - It's not a secret that Daisy was cut from the game after the last EA release and replaced with "The Guardian." Originally Daisy was representative of the tadpole in your head, not the Emperor, and would attempt to seduce your character into staying in the meadow by the river with her forever. A happy life with an imaginary dream lover while your body underwent ceramorphosis and was lost to you forever. Daisy was such an important part of the plot that both of the games theme songs "Down by The River" and "The Power" are based entirely upon Daisy. Datamined content also shows there was originally an ending where players would embrace a romance with Daisy and give themselves over to the parasite, forever leaving their individual consciousness "down by the river" with Daisy.

[@Jrockk999]

Interestingly enough there is datamine content suggesting two different Daisy characters that were identical in all but intent. Considering some of the EA dialogue had Daisy acknowledge the parasite and asking you to resist it, while at other times you were encouraged to use the tadpole. I think it would have been interesting to see the dynamic play with these two Daisy characters rather than just the Guardian.

[@chefman134]

#ReleaseTheDaisyCut

[@TheEmolano]

Yeah game's great, but I think it would have been even better if they followed up their original plan

"Just leave me there; dreaming" Such a powerful line that suddenly turns something so beautiful into something so ominous. ❤

[@darksteelyurius]

[@Vitearys]

To me the line reminds me of us, playing this game to escape to this beautiful dream of a game and leave reality for a little bit

[@CitizenMio]

I like to think the ominous thing has already happened and this is just intended to relax you as it further imbeds itself and gets to know you. I like reflecting this ominous slightly uncanny nature in the last steps of character creation. It was especially obvious in early access.

[@InsertWaffle]

redditors actually investigated it further, and this song supposedly connects to an ending that was cut off during launch. i hope larion studios does a huge update and adds it in

[@boanoah6362]

@@InsertWaffle It's connected with Daisy and presumably you'd have an ending where you give in to her. This is back in EA before the Emperor there was dream sequences where you'd be in a meadow down by the river with Daisy. She'd tempt you to give in and use the parasite powers, to let yourself be consumed because Daisy was the actual parasite in your head trying to take control. The song is her luring you in with sweet words to presumably die in your sleep, hence letting your soul take flight down by the river.

[@tardarsauce1842]

I love how this music feels romantic, dreamy, and magical all at the same time

[@dovahkensei4463]

If I recall this song was originally intended for the original dream visitor called "Daisy" or something like that. Instead of the Guardian (The Emperor) You'd be visited by a person created by the tadpole that was intended to seduce tav into essentially remaining in the dream, and giving into becoming a mind flayer leaving your consciousness down by the river with the "daisy" character. Its kinda weird how that piece of cut content would kinda just change what the meaning of the song is, while maintaining the same feels.

its already on there :)

Character creating hasn't been this delayed since Skyrim. I like this song and esp the heroic instrumental version during combat situations.

[@Phrosphor]

When you get that sting of this melody after downing an enemy in combat it gives me chills.

[@KingOfHeroes1996]

This game is up there with Dragon Age Origins and Mass Effect 1 for most memorable first time character creation experiences.

[@miguelmunoz7614]

I was about to say I hope it comes to Spotify soon, and I just saw that the whole album was added recently! Thank you for such an amazing soundtrack.

[@anishinaabae]

y’all are so lucky! i’m patiently waiting for it’s release on apple music.

[@yomang6614]

Game of the Year and rightly so now to add this to my best video game music playlist.

[@laisahope4180]

Got my sister to learn this on the violin, literally was so happy when she played it for me

[@UlumogTheDestroyer]

Probably my new favorite leit motif to date. It just has such an emotional range from being soft and sweet in character customization/camp to loud and powerful during the main act bosses. Its just *chefs kiss*

[@juannunez2237]

Game of the year 2023 🎉🎉🎉

[@FireCrack83]

I get chills every time i hear the melody. Thx larian

[@MustardSkaven]

Yeah especially when you find out the meaning 😵

[@yakilebekrea8295]

You have no idea how happy I get whenever I hear that leitmotif elsewhere in the soundtrack. Good shit

[@MythicalLivingLegend]

Gaming Soundtrack of the Year! This version seems to be sung by a different vocalist, but both are equally awesome!

[@jherinstamps6874]

GAME OF THE YEAR GET IN!!

[@flamen89]

Im so glad they got you in for by bg3. The divinity 2 soundtrack is incredible and this one doesn't disappoint either 🙏🙏

[@SilverBallerina]

This song has been stuck in my head for the past 6 months and I love it!

[@bag121]

After 300 hours of gameplay I decided to take a break, but I miss the game so much that listening to this music really hurts my soul 🥺

[@zodiac3409]

I don't think I'll forget this song for as long as I live. The moment I hear those opening strings, It's gonna hit me like the most euphoric Vietnam flashback of all-time.

[@buddhajew6259]

I think I want this played at my wedding

[@longhornsfreddy8001]

Song stuck in my head at work

[@BoJangles42]

Most definitely in my top 5 all time “songs from a video game OST”

[@L0ngsword]

Fine work yet again, Mr. Slavov. I was so captivated by this beautiful piece when making my character, and I'm looking forward to what else I'll hear while playing. Hat's off to you, and keep up the good work!

[@xblackxdragonzx]

This song has been stuck in my head since I started playing this game. Character creation section makes it so relaxing

[@rhysknight4670]

‘Who are you?’ Instantly gets filled with levels of wonder and excitement as this song begins to play and I’m given one of the best character creators ever made. Let me tell you, I sat in that character creator for hours, reading every little detail. The whole time this ear-worm filling me with childish nostalgia. Tolkien stories that my dad read to me flittering through my mind as I flirted with the idea of making a wizard like Gandalf, maybe I make a Ranger akin to Aragorn and Legolas, maybe I want to be a shapeshifter like Beorn. This song really is a masterpiece and gets you right into the headspace you need to be in when starting such an epic adventure! Bravo!

[@mikelrose9685]

This song is so ingrained in my brain I might turn into a mindflayer

[@Madchris8828]

This song is so beautiful. The instrumental, the wonderous vocals, and the harmonies as well. Easily one of the best character creation experiences because of this beautifully crafted song that captures the mystical nature of the game.

[@rookiekryukie4067]

This song stucked in my head just like tadpole. And I completely ok with it.

[@PenguinsAreColdish]

same cloud

[@morningstar2027]
