Why does nobody care about the music anymore`?

[mckracken]

For me its more important than the visuals. Hardly any reviews mention the music??
Is it as good as BG1 and 2? Is it as amazing as "Throne of Baal" ?? Or is it one of the best ever like "Icewind Dale" ?

Im just so tired of the indifference to audio in the year 2023.

The music is forgettable.

I've complained about the music like 2 years ago when I got the game, and I remember people really getting angry at me for saying "how the best music ever mad was bad".

Seriously you only need 2 minutes of BG2 intro soundtrack and compare it with any of the songs in BG3 which doesn't even come close.

That said it is not bad, it is just not as good as BG2 (The bard song and down by the river are ok)

"The music is forgettable."
Then the game will not be a classic.

Music is always the first thing I turn off.

DOWN DOWN DOWN BY THE RIVERRRRR

[Chaosolous]

The music is pretty good down by the river.

Its have some decent music really.. nothing amazing like i would go and listen to it outside of the game or anything but for in game its perfectly fine.

Soundtrack is quite good imo.

In terms of what Larian's produced I think I enjoyed DoS2's theme a bit more, but BG3's is still well done.

Pleasant surprises like the bard just breaking out in a cut scene of song, too.

It's pretty bland and forgettable, tbh.

I still hum the main menu music of BG in my head during regular normal day to day activities because it was so memorable and iconic.

All I remember about BG3 music is how I wish they would down-down-down-down down-load some new lyrics.

The Raphael fight music was absolutely awesome, not gonna lie.

The music has hit me in various scenes throughout the game. The best parts of the game is where you let the scenery breathe and the music hits just right.

Recently I was travelling with Lae'Zel (she usually isn't even in my party but I had recently completed her companion quest) and I was taking in the scenery and when I walked to the edge of a cliff overlooking the ocean and the forests and stuff the music just set the tone so well and then Lae'Zel said something like, "I don't normally stand around and appreciate a good view but... this is a rare exception"... and I just smiled for a moment while the music filled that stillness as I took in the visuals.

It was good $hit.

Raphael's fight music is the best in any CRPG in the last 20 years.

I like the music in this, but music is always a matter of taste so you have to listen yourself!

For comparison, here's one of the themes from Icewind Dale 2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aEqDtbC3bL8
