Welcome to Baldur's Gate 3's Faerun. This video features a mix of the music heard during the character creation menu, with some additional tracks from the soundtrack that I thought best suit the overall theme. These are all composed by Borislov Slavov and belong to Larian Studios!

Probably because the story really puts you through the emotional wringer. My endgame Tav felt vastly different from first act Tav, who innocently thought:" Well I just gonna save a bunch of Teethlings from your 0815 goblin tribe and rescue a capable healer One hour in, one hour out easy peasy."

@@lozpopo The meme of taking a long time in character creation predates the era of games with advanced face/body sliders. This phenomenon is just a staple of mechanically rich RPG's in general, even table top DnD where your characters physical appearance is definitely not what most players spend their time focusing on. It's because there are a lot of options to consider, many of which can be detrimental to your experience in the game if you don't pay attention.

It's not that I spent that long on one single character, it's that I was trying out a bunch of looks across every race/sex/class trying to nail down the character I wanted to play as.

Why did it take you 3 hours to make a character? What about character creation is so hard to take 3 hours? You pick a face template and color it, that's about it. Even the more complex races, like Dragonborn shouldn't take you more than 10 minutes.

@@Jaceareeno I'll answer that- I didn't spend 3 hours making ONE character, I spent an hour making 15 characters, all from various walks of life and with completely different vibes, then I spent 20 minutes trying to decide which one I want as my protagonist. Character creation can be the most fun part of the game for a lot of people, so they like to take their time and really play around with it.

A rarely talked about part of nostalgia (for me at least) is how different something felt at first. The mysticism, uncertainty, and adventure. When you get to know a game better, it doesn't quite hit how did it at first. That's not a bad thing, just how things are. The best nostalgia is when you can briefly remember those old feelings. This music perfectly does it, i feel like i'm starting my first adventure all over again every time i listen to it.

@thecheck968 5 ай бұрын

⁠⁠@@freudian7032 That *one* note that doesn’t belong is beautiful. In music terms, you’d call that dissonance. It’s the tension of immediately recognizing something is wrong so the song can resolve itself. Here, it’s haunting and hints at, well you said it best, the chaos of the journey you’re about to go on. But also conflict that your character is ready to confront quite yet. The uncertainty of who your character will become.

BG3 was the first remarkable game for me after maybe over a decade of games I didn't really care about. I lost that immersion and investment into the story I had as a youngling when I played FF7, Resi, Gothic, Morrowind, etc. When I played the first hours of BG3 all those good feelings came back. So for me personally it's the best game that I played for a very long time.
