It's been a long time since I used music while GMing. I will now buy and shamelessly exploit Kirill's music to emotionnally engage my players ! :incline:

There's no way this is hitting $1,000,000 short of divine intervention ( :( ) but if it doesn't hit the NPC stretch goal it will be a travesty. I don't understand the CRPG fanbase.

Is there a recording of the stream? I am on a shitty connection and it just stuttered for me :(
Here:
You can also wait for Larian to upload to their YT channel.

You can buy digital version of Divinity Anthology straight from Larian Vault. It contains Musica Divina (music from Divinity series) and Musica Obscura (unused music made by Kirill) albums. Or at least my boxed version does contain them.

Divinity: Original Sin Project: Eternity
I don't understand the whys or the hows, but I'm a really slow player. That dungeon also had over 500 skeletons. It's not going to take an hour. I also cleared out the 150 orcs surrounding the town for god knows what reason. Contrary to the anecdote, frogs eventually do jump out of slowly boiling water.

I don't see why the devs should even consider your opinion. It's like asking for Halo fans how to make the best RPG.

Oh man, this music is so beautiful, and yet it is so simple. I didn't play much of the Divinity games before, but I will get to them sometimes, if nothing more, at least for the music. (being a sound/musicfag).

Larian is easily the most bro company ever
Yeah. There's a Canadian guy on Larian forums (Raze) who's been posting over there for ~ten years, helping out pretty much everyone who needed help with the games. A couple of years ago, the guy was out of work and had issues finding new employment... Larian hired him and made him community manager.

And actually, Larian's been using names of bros in their games since the beginning. Like Watchwitz' Alrik Fassbauer and his poem in Divine Divinity.

Kirill's music is just so awesome. I've never played Divinity or Divinity 2, but recently I've listened to the complete Div2 soundtrack on Youtube and damn it sounds good. Almost all of the tracks are really relaxing and charming, I could just close my eyes and listen to them and it felt great. I can't comment on how good or bad the two Divinity games are but one thing is for certain - that was some of the best RPG music I've ever heard.

Original Sin will probably be the first Divinity game I play (unless I get around playing Div1 or 2 during Summer) and I'm really really looking forward to it. Part of the reason is the awesome music.

Yeah, the nice thing is he's not just doing that unoffensive background music you usually get in games and movies, there's much more melody in it.

Kirill comes from the creative kinda crazy musician template, even with the expected hair.:lol:

The music is excellent.

The first divinity is stock full of in-jokes. Many of the characters of DivDiv are people from the forums. Mostly German fans of Realms of Arkania who fled from the Attic forums after the LMK was cancelled and Attic shut down. buad and his tea, arhu the cat, El'Gammon, tutamun, ... Many of the things in Divinity only make sense if one remembers those people.
At that time there were even Attic employees stranded in Belgium, who were sent there to by Attic but then did not receive their salaries for so long that they could not buy a return ticket. Larian hired them.
