Jeremy Soule is persona non grata nowadays. And rightfully so. You can still admire the quality of his music of course.
Pillars of Eternity is a great game according to its metascore. Yet personal tastes do differ. I personally didn't like D:OS I and II too much but I wouldn't say that they are not good. They obviously are great for other players. So maybe only speak for yourself
Well, of course I speak for myself. Pillars of Eternity (*IN MY OPINION*

) was decent work with classic infinity engine games vibe, great music and (at the begining) really interesting plot, but lacks in open world (very linear), side-quests, have some cheap story solutions ("you cannot cross that bridge, it's in repair and will be ready when you finish tast completely unrelated with that bridge"), also eventually story bored me (apart from great start). It wasn''t bad game for me, actually I like it, but couldn't call it great as well. Anyway I respect your opinion.

Why?
Yet you expect the music of pre-alpha BG3 to meet the quality of a finalized BGI and II? I would understand if you somehow had access to the bits and parts of pre-alpha BGI and II music and compare it with pre-alpha BG III - but I presume you have not..?
Unless I cannot assume that the music will be completely different in final product and know music from Original Sin 1 & 2, I made my opinion basing on what I heard and what I know. As I said before - OS soundtrack (with is simmilar to what I heard in BG3 gameplay) is decent, but for sure lacks Baldur's Gate vibe.
I also think music is a pretty big deal,everything I've heard on the demo is kind of happy and light (and reminds me of DOS2 but maybe I'm crazy at this point xD but I would say the same people is working on this title)
Couldn't agree more.
can see that you think the soundtrack is DIFFERENT and feels different.
Saying the soundtrack of baldurs gate 2 is a huge masterpiece...
doesnt mean its literaly os perfect it cant be replaced
Well, everybody has his own taste, but for me, my friends and huge part of the community it is a masterpiece. For sure it can be repleced, but once again - in my opinion what we heard doesn't fit Badur's Gate 3, just doesn't have Baldur's Gate vibe. If so, why not to hire an artist who guarantee understaing of this vibe and almost guarantee highest quality of his work?
