everyone else commenting about their companion romancing scene, and here i am, crying like an idiot because my dog just died a few days before i started playing this game, and this music just showed up at random when i was sorting my inventory at camp. It started playing because i was taking so long, i didn't want to leave camp because scratch strolling around my tav, wagging his tail, made me feel a little less lonely, and i didn't really have the mental energy to engage with the quests properly... every time i hear this music i just think of my dog. he was the best boy, like a slightly longer-haired, floppy-eared scratch. I missi him so much.

[@alethegamer96]

I pray we all have our own "Scratch" in our lives, even though they never last long enough.

This OST hits even harder after Gale's romance cutscene in act 2 That cutscene was a masterpiece and so well-written. it touched my heart.

[@Yahlokis]

That scene is precisely why I’m here. This track does a really good job driving home the feeling that he’s just trying to capture what little happiness he can before he can’t anymore. Then there’s a little shift in the tone of the song, as he realizes that he still has something to live for. 🥺

[@ximecreature]

Came here for this moment. The alchemy of such a poetic moment and this song was just incredible. I've never shivered like this in front of a game. I'm so glad to finally find it !

[@Chiaeryn]

It's just perfect, it's not only a romance scene but it's where Gale finally understands that he doesn't want to die, he has something to live for. Probably one of the best written scene of the game.

[@Si1verwing713]

I got to that cutscene last night and I genuinely want to cry about it, it's so beautiful and this score is a huge part of it. However this seems to be a different segment of the score, it's missing the flute

This game's soundtrack doesn't stop surprising me with how beautiful it is...

[@BreyerBud]

I'm so sad this one and a few others didnt make it onto th official spotify album. its so beautiful, sad and longing but also optimistic and energetic. it unintentionally became my character's theme in our recent DnD session and I think it fit perfectly. such a great song thank you Borislav!

[@PercivalC]

Same! This is like my favourite track from the whole game, I was gutted to see it's not on Spotify...

[@PurpleLink95]

The first time I paid attention to this song was when Astarion confessed his feelings for me. When he told me I am incredible and that I deserve something real, followed up by "I want us to be something real", I started to cry. Never in my life have I felt the same way about a character's confession. Combined with this beautiful song, his words sounded so sincere, so tender and fragile, he voluntarily showed me his vulnerable side, and if you know his backstory, it really hits hard. Everytime I listen to this song, I remember him and how much love he needs (which of course, I am more than happy to provide to him!!). Hell, even the title "Wash My Pain Away" says everything... He opened up to me, hoping that, even if I can't erase his horrible past, perhaps I can give him a better present, and make all his pain go away by giving him support and unconditional love. I love him so much and this song is the living proof of it.

[@Viol3tButt3rfli3s]

There’s “Wash My Dreams Away” on the spotify album but it just doesn’t beat “Wash My Pain Away.” Please add this to the album!!! 🥺💕

I just finished the game after taking my time and exploring everything it has to offer. Initially I was desperate to romance Astarion but I had a really hard time since his morals does not align with mine, and all of a sudden Gale was falling in love with my Tav. I was like, “ok whatever” but oh man when the act 2 romance scene played out, I fell inlove with him instantly. I kept watching replays of this scene since I cant get over it. In the end I married him and I saved him. Im like this little girl blushing and kicking my feet when he tells me he loves me :(
