The Music of Divinity Original Sin / Divinity Original Sin 2

Honestly, I didn't expect to continue to talk about these games, but for whatever reason, I keep feeling the need to add more to what I have said already. But in fairness, my previous post was more-so me just boasting about my badass team currently. So, apologies for that. Anyway, I want to talk about something that I think goes often missed when discussing these two games. And that is the music. Or just the soundtracks in general for both of these games. Part of the reason I get so immersed into these games is because the music is simply breathtaking. It's very minimal but it really has an effect on the game that I feel would not be present if the music wasn't so good. Instead of just making random tracks for different places, the music just feels like it fits with the game, and not something that's alongside it. I mean god damn, I'm constantly humming the loading screen music all the time. It's so ****ing good and it's literally just the loading screen:



I know I said loading screen but this song is also the main theme for Divinity Original Sin 2, I just happen to always be in the loading screen when the music picks up. But honestly, Divinity Original Sin also had a fantastic main theme. I don't know which one I like that much better, but I will say I love the one in Divinity Original Sin 2 just a tad bit more. But anyway, here's the one from the first game:



I'd say both songs are pretty similar, but let's not kid ourselves. These songs just reek of originality and fits both games seemlessly.

Now, moving on from the main themes, I want to talk about another track that I absolutely fell in love with the minute I heard it. It's of course the music you hear on Rivellon when you land there.



Literally what this song says to me is that it's time for a real adventure to finally begin. This is of course after the tutorial area of the game, which in itself can take up to 30 hours to complete. Just the best thing to hear when you are on new territory and you're ready to take your team and fight your way through the island. It's truly remarkable.

I would also like to add an honorary mention to the music on The Lady Vengeance in Divinity Original Sin 2. I think it probably has to be my absolute favorite track in the game. It takes everything I want to hear from the soundtrack and does so in a really cool and interesting way:
