Baldur's Gate Music- The Last Battle

[Muffinfordinner]

This isn't really the last battle, but I have the original saga cds.

[Snake2557]

Serevok was extremely hard to kill ... One of the hardest boss battles in my books, Way harder then Irenicus or Melisan

[Korraganitar]

it was a long time ago that i beat this game, but what i'll always remember was that the first time i played through i got to the undercity where something i didn't notice changed my rep to 1, making my good aligned party say fuck you and leave in the middle of things.... luckily i had cheats enabled so i summoned a legion of Drizzt's to save me lol

[smokeyvv]

love BG

[Mrsubzor]

Legendary!

[Valkod23]

I just got to the last battle, and through all the Undercity and the few rounds the last battle went on, prior to the enemy mage landing an insta-death spell on my Berserker, this music didn't play. Instead I got Sarevok charging me to the music heard in every tavern in the BG series.

[AndrzejvelFrenzy83]

I finally beat Sarevok after about 1000 tries:)

[hoh851111]

Time to Dieeee!!!

[Darziak]

IMO this is the best combat music in BG1

[edab85]

5 people didn't survived the last battle.

[jvonr92]

You are being gang-raped by enemies and must defend yourselves.

:O

[Schutzstaffel23]

@jvonr92 LOL i hate getting waylaid. its like... FUCKIN KNOLLS AGAIN!

[Valkod23]

@jvonr92 This only occurs when fighting a level 15 Sarevok. Sadly I never got to him in my playthrough as a Lawful Good Fighter.

[paulman34340]

@Valkod23 I have the same character too, Had my party kill his buddies, And soloed him myself, Epic

[Valkod23]

@paulman34340 I'm playing through again as a Berserker using BGT, except Khalid never spawned, leaving me with just Imoen until I nab Branwen, Kivan, Minsc, and Dynaheir or however you spell her name. Not that I'm complaining since all that Nashkel was getting to me.

[paulman34340]

@Valkod23 Yay I know what you mean LOL, Well good luck to you I just completed everything in BG and BG:TOTSC with my mage, transfered over to BG 2 (I don't want to install to BGT patch in just yet) and am now just leaving Irenicus dungeon

[RotaryPoweredRX]

Its been years since Ive played Bg1..like 10, but I still remember the epic battle I had with this guy. He wouldnt stop critting my pt members and making them explode. i used my main character and shot the shit out of him with explosives arrows. Epic battle, good times..

[Thunker71]

Fight me ! Fight me !

[koveras13]

THIS ISN*T THE LAST BATTLE MUSIC, THE LAST BATTLE MSUIC IS CALLED ``FROM OUT THE STORM``, SEARCH IT OR PLAY THE GAME AND MANAGE TO COME TO THE LAST BATTLE IN BG-1 AND LISTEN.

[Hamletfan]

"Face ME! Face the new Lord of Murder!"

[rlilewis]

I remember getting critted by sarevok every other strike and knocking back health potions like they were shots of vodka... He was one tough motherfucker!

[Skipp376]

Drizzt Do'ourden. 

[godkingRoss]

This make me want to go outside, grab a club shaped stick and smash that stick into the faces of all my enemies!

[TheRRockMan]

Play me this loud enough out in the street and I'll engage in battle every single animal or humanoid in sight!!!

[Hamletfan]

@TheRRockMan the poor squirrels DX

[rlazera]

I do not fear death. Do you? ehehheehheh

[IraTheSquire]

I am slightly disappointed that no one here has mentioned Planescape: Torment.

No game has beaten Planescape: Torment story-wise, imo.

[zarakhast]

Plenty of people mention P:T - what a classic game that was ! All the IE games were classics and collectively they were the best games ever made imo. The two Baldur's Gates just shade it over P:T for me, but I would also agree that P:T's story is the best - though the stories in BG1, BG2, IWD & IWD2 are hardly shallow. It's just a matter of taste.

Planescape : Torment = a unique classic. Possibly the deepest story ever written for a computer game.

[toughtguynumberone]

@IraTheSquire

I bought it, but first i have to finish dragon age

[thimy69]

@IraTheSquire To be honest. No one cares about what is better. Bg fans loves Planetscape torment too.

[Felipe550710]

@IraTheSquire you can say that again, baldur's gate is nice but WAY overrated.

[Katsuhisa777]

The Elder Scrolls games are ok as games. But the fact that they are being discussed on a video about Baldur's Gate is appalling. They are NEVER to be compared. To do so gives The Elder Scrolls too much dignity.

[HiveFleetHydra]

Not to mention they are different subsets of RPGs. Thus comparison is impossible.

[zarakhast]

The Elder Scrolls "games" scarcely qualify as games in my opinion. The combat is ridiculous, the dialogue is appalling, the plots are disappointing. It's incredible that anyone, let alone the gaming press, can give the Elder Scrolls efforts a score even approaching that of the IE games : they're a full 30% behind imo. Nice scenery, nice locations, nice flowers - poor games. Desperately poor.

[OspreyKnight]

They're great games! They just need writers... who can actually write...and open ended game play... rather than a gigantic hype machine.

[zarakhast]

They COULD be (or could have been) great games, but there's so much wrong with them it beggars belief. Most people are just wowed by the (admittedly amazing) 3D landscapes (" 'tis distance lends enchantment to the view") but in terms of engaging quests how many are there ? The Dark Brotherhood ? The Sword of Umbra ? Why couldn't Bethesda have maintained that quality throughout the game ? Can you seriously tell me that you still enjoyed tackling your TENTH Oblivion Gate ? Monotonous or what ?

[Azartusfar]

I hope you know that this is not one of the elder scrolls games. and I sorta agree I mean they make you do all these quests and it feels like your not getting anywhere.

[zarakhast]

I was contrasting the Elder Scrolls games with the IE games. You suspected that but were just checking, I understand ! The Elder Scrolls games are good in their own way - chiefly in terms of the vast, beautiful 3D landscapes - but they don't deserve to be spoken of in the same breath as the IE games imo when it comes down to combat, storyline, dialogue, gameplay, depth etc. The Elder Scrolls games are so badly put together it's incredible that they have such a following - and the dialogue ??!!!

[Dalbert342]

I think the developers wanted nice graphics and open world and such that they simply forgot the game has to be playable lol

[printz150]

This definitely is not the final battle.

[kurofer]

Absolutely epic, specially the start of the theme.

[zarakhast]

Also, the AI : a wolf attacks you and you can't be bothered to fight it because you don't need a wolf's pelt. So you try to outrun it. In vain ! The damn thing is still following you even when you're on the other side of the world. The Elder Scrolls games are pretty ludicrous - and yet people think that they're "great". Sigh. Bring back the Baldur's Gates. (No hope of that though.)

[CelebrenIthil]

I'm trying not to get my hopes up in regards to Dragon Age: Origins so I won't be dssapointed but the dev team keeps claiming it's gonna be the "spiritual child" of the Baldur's Gate series.

....*sigh*

I guess if it's even half as good then it's at least gonna be a real decent RPG anyways. It's not like the KOTORs or the Mass Effect(s) aren't great- tough they are not a lot like Baldur's Gate either.

[zarakhast]

I'll be buying Dragon Age in all probability but I very much doubt that it will really be the "spiritual successor" to Baldur's Gate. I'm sure that most people who loved the BGs and the IE games in general will know what I mean when I say that they had a certain magic which other RPGs have lacked since - though it's very difficult to say what that magic consisted in. I've enjoyed subsequent RPGs but none of them has blown me away. The IE games had the perfect formula imo.

[CelebrenIthil]

Yeah I'm as doubtful as you that DA will be akin to Baldur's gate's greatness. Still, it might still surprise me. <:)

[YawnGod]

I tried to play Elder Scrolls Oblivion and I just couldn't because it depressed me so much. I mean, the game was too big to be a single player game. I mean, it it were an mmorpg, I could understand such a large world, but for a single player game...just, my god, what a no-life type of game.

[Galkatokk]

Dude... You have to give the Elder Scrolls series the props it deserves. True, Baldurs Gate is awesome too, but Elder Scrolls man, they're classics.

[zarakhast]

I LIKE the Elder Scrolls games - very much. I should have made that clearer, even though I slag them off in comparison with the IE games. The Elder Scrolls games are flawed masterpieces. The 3D worlds created by Bethesda, especially (imo) in Morrowind, is second to none. But I reckon the IE games come from a different class of thinking than any other RPG games I know of. Just the most magical games of all time imo.

[zarakhast]

And the quality of the dialogue in Morrowind and Oblivion - compared with the IE games it's light years behind. I can't believe that anyone who loves RPGs can rate the Elder Scrolls games as highly as the IE games.

[zarakhast]

There are too many stupid flaws in the Elder Scrolls games that it would be almost impossible to know where to begin in mentioning all of them. It's just a STUPID game when compared with the IE games, and that's largely (but not only) down to the D&D rules, which for some unknown reason are so hated. Morrowind and Oblivion (which of the two is easier to play) are wonderful worlds but AS GAMES they are seriously broken.

[mrchuckmorris]

The Elder Scrolls games are just that... games... whereas the masterpieces like Baldur's Gate, Icewind Dale, Neverwinter Nights, etc. are more than just that... they're stories. Powerful stories. Just reading (and listening to!) the dialogue is enough to immerse you in a fantastic tale that draws you in. Plus add in the wonderful music and magnificent art, and you have something movie-worthy. Scratch that, these games are eons beyond movies.

[B1naryCZ]

Well, as far as I know, The Elder Scrolls and Baldurs gate music did the same author.

And if you talk about games itself you are right of course :).

[zarakhast]

You fight your way to the bottom of a dungeon in either Morrowind or Oblivion and you almost wish you hadn't bothered putting the effort in : your reward is to have to search through twenty barrels, each of which contains something totally insignificant. In the IE games you knew that the big battles would yield big rewards - not so in the Elder Scrolls games.

[zarakhast]

The character development system in both Morrowind and Oblivion has not been brought into any logical relationship with the gameplay : you begin by getting battered to death by a wolf and end up being invulnerable to attack even by the meanest enemy.

[zarakhast]

The world of Morrowind is (imo) better than that of Oblivion - but both games are so flawed it would hard to know where to start criticizing them. The "improvements" to the user-interface in Oblivion are almost laughably minor. If you want to make a potion you still have to tediously scroll through tens or hundreds of ingredients. Where do you stop when criticizing the Elder Scrolls games ?

[HELLINMAN]

Shows the evil and madness of Sarevok.

[sunmax1]

this song always reminds me of killing ghasts or basilisks/gnolls

[zarakhast]

D&D rules are PURE. They ought to form the basis for all RPGs because they allow for superb tactical combat and complex and logical character development. But dumbing-down is the order of the day (in order to generate large, instant sales). From what I've seen, Dragon Age will be nothing like what BG fans might have been hoping for - but Bioware will want to keep that false hope up. They're shameless.

[zarakhast]

Can someone clear up who did what in the IE games ? What involvement did Black Isle Studios have and what was Bioware responsible for ? From the outside, nowithstanding all this, it's clear that Bioware has been pretty rubbish without Black Isle. And if I get loads of thumbs downs, I'll know that you're mostly Bioware employees. NWN and KotoR can't hold a candle to the BGs and P:T. Bioware's stuff has been AWFUL since BG2 . Writing quality especially ...

[aweha]

When this tune came on you knew it was time to bring out the big guns!

Equip 2 of your archers with exploding arrows, the enemy party will drop in a few seconds.

[zarakhast]

There will probably never be any better RPGs than the IE games and it's arguable which was the best. BG1 started the ball rolling and I couldn't argue with anyone who might say it was better than BG2, though I'm undecided myself - and P:T was awesome too. BG3 won't happen and if it does it's very unlikely it will be anything like the first two. Games like the BGs don't come along very often. There may NEVER be any RPGs better than the IE games - which would be very sad. Classics for all time.

[ljfirkraag]

heya, does any 1 knows anything about a possible BG3? Or a similar game in the forgotten realms world? I know there were ppl trying to make a new BG and I know there were some issues with black isle or whatever. Does any1 know something else about it?

[ScilusVacilius]

Sorry mate, but:

1. Black Isle is gone.

2. Bioware gave the rights to Obsidian to make all the future Forgotten Realms games.

Obsidian likes to steal Bioware's stories and make crap of them.

If they'd make a Baldur's Gate 3, they'd only use the name to draw old fans to play it..

[AfroJarl]

Actually, Dragon Age Origins will follow it's tracks, i don't think this is set in 'faerun' or any other 'forgotten realm tho'

[zarakhast]

Interesting comment. :) But why do you only say that Obsidian likes to steal Bioware's stories and make crap of them ? Don't forget that Bioware hasn't made anything even approaching as good as Baldur's Gate since. I agree with you otherwise, but Bioware don't make games like this anymore. Their stories, compared with the BGs (and P : T & IDs) are just rubbish ... BG3 isn't going to happen though, that's for sure. Although why not ? Why can't companies (and individuals) stop being be so petty ?

[zarakhast]

Is Mass Effect or Jade Empire (for instance) a sign that the real talent behind the Baldur's Gates and Planescape : Torment were really Bioware's ? Bioware is not a developer I trust to produce quality any more. Neverwinter Nights ? What a poor game compared with Baldur's Gate (1&2). Black Isle's name will forever be associated with top quality games, from the Fallouts through to the IE games. Bioware = big egos, little talent.

[DarthMandalorian]

You have no idea who founded Obsidian and who are working there, do you?

[ScilusVacilius]

Obsidian's style of RPGs is nowhere near Biowares, no matter who works there at all.

None of the RPGs they've made are nearly as good as Baldur's Gate, original Neverwinter or orignal KotOR.

And don't dare come say Oblivion, as that's a sad excuse of RPG compensating with graphics, with a story that could bore anyone to death.

[DarthMandalorian]

Their style is a lot like BioWare's and the quality is nearly as good but because they don't get time to finish their games, they won't be able to let their games reach their full potential. NWN2 was a bit of a disappointment, though but KotOR 2 was great.

And I don't really see what Oblivion has to do with this as that atrocity is made by Bethesda, the same guys who defiled Fallout's name and got away with it because the RPG player of today doesn't have a clue what a RPG is.

[TheOneAndOnlyPivot]

But I have to admit This and Morrowind, Along with The Second BG and Final Fantasy X, AND finally Metal Gear Solid 3. Rank among my favorite games of all time. Morrowind All Alone has a killer story. They're all great. Though some are better than others in differant areas.

[seimouralrom]

I read somewhere that BG3 isn't going to be lauched because they didn't have funds for that... but it was some years ago... still I don't think they will "revive" this game... :(

[ScilusVacilius]

We're lucky if BG3 isnt made. It won't be Bioware or Black Isle making it, and I'm quite sure we can all agree that the story at the end of Throne of Bhaal was as finished as a story can be.

It was epic for me, I will never forget it and I still enjoy every aspect of it.

I hope they'll let it stay that way by not ripping up a perfect ending.

[Danswan24]

it still sucks though.

[Ecnomic]

Doesn't Obsidian consist of the old members of Black Isle / Bioware, at least most of them?? I think, thats what wikipedia says...

[rose10100]

lifes what you make it so lets make it Rock so come on come on!!!!!!

[Paskovitchz]

God fucking damnit, hurry up and make a baldur's gate 3 with a story that's as great as this one!!!!!!!

[Veke99]

Basilisks are awesome. just cast protection from petrification on a good any level fighter and get ready for lots of experience ^^

[Ecnomic]

kick ass

[Aelkamal]

good one ! my fav was the opening theme of Throne of Bhaal

[Froastwolf]

wow this is great I wish it was longer

[qualiy]

I don't remember this being for serevok. He had some music that was based on the opening theme when you fight him in the lower city. You hear this when you go to the basilisk area, probably why you remember that

[unfaithless0girl]

maybe its call the last battle is cause the people/things ur fighting is more dangerous then the soundtrack in fighting for surviveal?

(srry for ma spelling...^^')

[Ascyltos]

It was all metalised as well I remember.

[Narrifani]

This reminds me of fighting basilisks...

[Shockwave91012]

If they make a third D&D movie *made by new line cinema and by peter jackson of course* and it takes place in Greyhawk or faerun. This music should be in it.

[Makedonche]

It should only be done by Peter Jackson. God have mercy on us if Uwe Boll lays his hands on Baldur's Gate.

[MastaGambit]

dont even mention that O_O

[HermanTheSorcerer]

yeeeeerh! this rocks! great battle music

[coyoterunner]

What I wanna hear is the music from the Bhaalspawn fights and the final battle from Throne of Bhaal.

[Scruge21]

dundundundundudn DUNNUDNDUNDUDNUDNDN dundududn DUNDUNDUNDUDN

hardcore as shit

[XextremeX13]

Someone should make good nwn module with this music lol

[Schutzstaffel23]

@Scruge21 LOL i love it

[adFilip]

the best game ever

[nounnoun]

This is my favourite piece from the game

[EzThePker]

This music is good! It's like an orchestra playing, that's cool ^_^

First view, rating and comment ftw lol.
