Divinity Original Sin 2 OST by Boris Slavov | Old Composer Video Game Reaction Review and Breakdown

[@joisxleen9252]

ONE OF THE BEST VIDEO GAME COMPOSERS

[@SoCHobbit]

Absolutly

[@AtreyusNinja]

And One of the best game ever made

[@joisxleen9252]

@@AtreyusNinja I agree 100%

3:58 Main themes are typically played during the intro of a game / its main menu, or in final moments / the ending credits. For this theme though, it actually plays on the main menu, with only a vista for visuals like you mentioned later. It works wonderfully for hyping you up for the game that you're about to dig into - Plus the leitmotifs in this song reoccur very frequently throughout the game in all different tones I'm so glad that Baldur's Gate 3 has led so many people to the developer's previous Divinity games, it's always great seeing them get more recognition. The music especially is just as great as in Baldur's Gate. You can definitely hear the composer's style through both games, but the differences in his approach to both contrast nicely too

[@henrikh3089]

Borislav Slavov is goated!

[@Marc_4]

He is so good and so humble.

[@Dragonisser]

You've got to listen to "A Tear in the Veil", "Rivellon", "Quirky Bones", "The Battle for Divinity"

[@Chopstorm.]

Broken shackles.

[@Dragonisser]

@@Chopstorm. well, all of them. Too good.

[@bjm1777]

Love Quirky Bones

[@VanirHistory]

Sins and Gods revelation

[@juhanpoeka]

Add Divines Lament (lyrics version preferably) in there!

[@SalamiCatCat]

Yeees, you finally reacted to this masterpiece of a soundtrack. I would recommend you check full OST from Divinity 1 and 2 as well, at least in your free time you will not be disappointed. Much love Geebz.❤✌️

[@ghilean1174]

This game cemented Borislav as the GOAT for me. Would love to see more reactions!

[@snarkyrogue118]

I still remember how hyped I was to hear he was returning for BG3. This soundtrack proved he was up to the task and man, did he deliver

[@utes5532]

One of the fun little details in this game is that you get to choose an instrument when you create a character and that instrument is then used for many of the songs in the soundtrack

[@Chapterhouse86]

I used to LOVE this choice they made to put that into the game. It's so goddamn cool. Though, I always picked the cello, because it sounded so beautiful. I couldn't resist. One of these days I need to do a playthrough with a different instrument selected. Which was your favorite?

[@utes5532]

@@Chapterhouse86 Cello is my favorite too! It sounds so good

[@ThSkBj]

The reed instrument you were wondering about is something called an Armenian duduk.

[@carlosnascimento9269]

Incredible OST. Fitting for one of the best games of all time.

[@Mykola_Kovalenko]

Played this game more than 150 hours. Absolutely love this theme

[@NoxofShadow]

Played this game more than 500 hours from the release, still listening the OST in loop

[@Calamity22321]

It always gives me goosebumps, when I found out that you can play it as bard in Baldur's Gate 3 I was hooked instantly.

[@shisuna4030]

The music and the game are S-Tier. This is a masterpiece and for me ez top 10 games of all times.

[@FreelancerND]

Yep. I played BG3, liked it, yes. But for me, an RPG fan with 30+ years of experience, Divinity Original Sin and Divinity Original Sin 2 are by FAR much better games than BG3.

[@shisuna4030]

@@FreelancerND I didnt play BG3 that much, but the Gameplay in DOS2 feels better. I hope they will release DOS3

[@FreelancerND]

@@shisuna4030 Oh yes. The world of Divinity caught me since the very first game and played through all of them over the years.

[@savlecz1187]

Great soundtrack, great game. I'd love for you to check out more of Witcher 3 and Skyrim. You've only scratched the surface of their soundtracks!

[@quentinmcsloth240]

I love how the main characters in this game all have their own themes and when you've listened to them a bunch to can hear them coming through at different points throughout the main theme 😊

[@Hoigwai]

Borislav is one of my favorite composers. He really hits the right tone for fantasy games and they always stick with me. This theme plays during the start screen and variations of it occur all through the game.

[@junjiito337]

Just as good as Baldurs Gate 3 Larians’ developers and composers just don’t miss!

[@Lostsoulogan]

The rest of Divinity Original Sin 2's soundtrack is a banger. Would love to hear you do a listen party to all of them, there's some great pieces in there.

[@sw-gs]

It's litterally gaves me shiver every time I hear main theme.

[@bigcountryluke571]

Thank you for listening to this! You should check out the battle song because they have multiple versions with a different lead instrument. Pretty cool idea to pick your favorite instrument to lead you into a battle.

[@ManiacalForeigner]

I would highly recommend the soundtracks from earlier entries in the Divinity series as well. They were composed by Kirill Pokrovsky, who started out playing keyboards for some of the first Russian metal bands, Aria and Master, in the 80s. Sadly, he passed away in 2015 with his last work being on the first Divinity: Original Sin, after which Borislav Slavov took over.

[@Degnique]

Goosebumps all around! I love this game so much. Ryker's Mansion is probably my favourite song from the entire OST.

[@ImaSneke]

I love the percussive elements against the smooth vocals, really need to play this after the amazing baldurs gate 3

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

Playing BG3 as a Divinity veteran made the game so much easier

[@Senriam]

@@xGoodOldSmurfehxabsolutely, divinity is way harder. Love em both though

[@leopard2690]

I highly recommend listening to Divinity: Original Sin - Mysterious Guest. its a song Kirill Pokrovsky wrote in 1989 but never found a proper use. he could finaly use it in his last work before he died

[@Silentheaven89]

no ones reacting to the work kirill did for the first game in the series it seems. unfortunate. his compositions were so unique and offered something new.

[@leopard2690]

@Silentheaven89 He is Legend. Even Borislav was a Big Fan of him

[@MorrowProduction]

Oh wow, I've seen some of your reaction videos to other music, didn't know you had a whole youtube page dedicated to Video Game Music! What a cool little treasure trove.

[@bluelick7578]

I just love that they brought that song back in BG3 if you have the right version, you can get your party to play it.

[@rineran]

Probably my favorite soundtrack from a game

[@Silentheaven89]

no ones reacting to the first original sins? kirill is an amazing composer, hes very unique.

[@Chapterhouse86]

Borislav Slavov is a damn genius. I adore this game and it's soundtrack so much. He then went to outdo even this masterpiece with Baldur's Gate 3. What a god amongst men.

[@junjiito337]

Still need to listen to the Darktide ost any and every song from Jyd Kesper is amazing you’d love his work.

[@corvusabaddon]

He's already done some of the songs from that game. Check his twitch archive channel. He also already did one Assassin's Creed 2 song on this channel. I think he did one from AC Valhalla as well.

[@tomrowell1558]

Love a bit of Borislav Slavov! If you’re looking for something really unique, Raphael’s final act from Baldurs Gate 3 is quite something, couldn’t recommend it enough but it’s quite short

[@ShowTmRS]

Epic Ost for a epic gaming experience

[@grassrootsdictator5701]

There’s a bonus track from divinity original sin 2 that has the composer singing and it’s easily the best song, it’s called divines lament

[@khaotik1]

This was a FANTASTIC breakdown! I feel like I left it learning something new. I'd love it if you would explore the Bomberman Hero OST, it's become one of my favorites over the years

[@Nr4747]

This main theme is nice, but Rivellon will forever be *my* personal theme for Divinty: Original Sin 2. It's just such an amazing song and really fits the game like a glove.

[@NothingTrue11]

Music compliments the game so well! Thanks Geebz🤘🏼

[@beavschannel5217]

The theme is lovely, but the track Rivellon literally stopped me playing to just sit back and listen to it, then go to find the OST and play it a couple more times before going back to the game. One thing I loved about the game, was when you created your character you pick an instrument, either a flute, tambour, oud or cello, and then as you played the game, the soundtrack accented that instrument throughout.

[@carolynm.7530]

It sounds absolutely gorgeous! I love this. ❤

[@markusturunen7929]

Thematically the Divinity series asks you this kind of question, what if the gods you prayed for were dying and, you are awakening new powers that one day would replace them. What would you do if you possessed the power of gods? What are you willing to sacrifice to achieve that power. When mortals whisper their prayers to the god, how would you answer their cries?

[@liquidicev]

I was playing this soundtrack at work and a coworker who was obsessed with BG3 at the time almost instantly recognised that it was the same composer, despite never playing Divinity 2. So yea, I'd say the OST has some similarities. Maybe it's the musical instruments and the whimsical nature of the tracks.

[@BartAlpine]

There is one theme in Baldur's Gate 3, namely Dream Walk, that sounds a lot like a theme taken out of Divinity Original Sin 2. Other than that the soundtracks are completely different.

[@ItsTristan1st]

Take a listen to Alina Gingertail's cover of this song, it is phenomenal!

[@GOR77708]

Now you really should check "Mead, Gold and Blood"

[@marthalee2819]

Please check out Liliannas song from Dragon Age Origins. A very beautiful song.

[@delusionalhobo6676]

Reminds me of "Mother Earth" by Within Temptation

[@mk01manaskarekar64]

React to ”rahat fateh ali khan“ song “raag” at gama awards

[@xGoodOldSmurfehx]

The OG game with the OG soundtrack The Baldur's Gate 3 before Baldur's Gate 3 Still think Divinity had a better story than Baldur's Gate ever did

[@NEZCORPORATION_2100]

Can you review of listen to video game call Trepang2 OST ? Thank you

[@marcuskiller02]

Itwas lateat night nove but nice nonetheless

[@ImotekhtheStormlord-tx2it]

Please, react to GOTHIC 3 - VISTA POINT or AC VALHALLA OUT OF THE NORTH

[@hdskbdjsksndjssm]

pls check out rayman legends OST! one of the best out there

[@KhazAlp]

Oh man, please react to Gran Turismo. Especially Gran Turismo 3-4 (jazz-funk) and 5 (lounge). It's a racing game with amazing soundtracks.

[@DanIel-fl1vc]

I call music like this fantasy pop, or "Notice me I'm epic". Just strumming of a guitar and boring "epic instrument and harmony" on top, no real melody. Like the composer fell in love with the sample not the melody. Try play this music back with midi sounding instruments. See how it'll hold up. For this reason I think it's a good practice to create your music with bad samples then arrange it. Then you can't hide.

[@mintmaddie3963]

I'm sorry but nothing you said is true, the melody is very much present as a leimotiv between a lot of the song, a'so the instruments used are not only a guitare but a good balance of brass, choir and string instruments, some theme are not epic but contemplative or sad like the lament... There is plenty of adjacent textures to the melody if you listen well...

[@DanIel-fl1vc]

@@mintmaddie3963 It sounds like stock fantasy music to me, something they threw together in half an hour. There's no call and response, interesting syncopation or polyrhythm, just the guitar and an "epic" progression on top. Fairly easy to make yourself. Just put a riff or drum loop at the bottom and play i - VII - VI -V on a loop on top and you'll end up with something similar if you use the "big epic sound" samples. If you use midi instruments it would become apparent how cheap it is. People who don't know better think it's amazing because it's buried in choirs. Syncopation, twists and turns as well as appropriate minimalism is what makes something really good. This is just cheap, pretentious and lame. But to be fair, same is true of a lot of music. There's only a handful of game and movie composers that polish their stuff thoroughly. I think using midi sounding instruments makes it impossible to get wowed by the samples. Something like SoundCanvas, great vst for a cheap sound that forces you to pay attention.

@@mintmaddie3963 People like him think they are smart and enlightend because they dont like something popular.

[@JS-vj1il]

@@DanIel-fl1vc Then do it better. Nothing what you do on your channel is good. In fact its quite terrible.

[@DanIel-fl1vc]

@@JS-vj1il Could it be because all "music" on my channel is a tutorial of the basics. Call and response, scale degrees and tension/relief. Changing key, polyrhythm and syncopation. How you can notice if something is good or not from a single melody line, therefore don't rush to arrange it, spend 75% of the time on single melody line. There's no music on there, everything in those tutorials were made in 5 minutes.
