Larian Studios Forums General Suggestions Anthology

Wow Larian, you are seriously the best.

I mean, a while ago I saw that I now had the Developers Cut in my Steam Games list and I installed it, but I didn't get around to playing it until today, and I discovered that it also came with the treasure vault - the Developers Journal, the extra art PDF's and the bonus soundtracks in .ogg form.

That was incredibly awesome of you to give that away to those who already owned DKS.

We have exactly 83 boxes left

And now at least minus one signed Anthology Box !
That gives : 82 boxes left (or less) !

I place my order today

You're absolutely right !
The day the package arrived and I got my "eyes" on the Developer's Journal ... O my ... I read (and look at all the awesome pictures) it from start to end in one day !

And the 2 music cd's are also absolutely great !
I can't stop 'repeat' that song again and again, that song you hear when you walk in the Wastelands(DD) (track 3 on Misic Obscura I believe) ... really love the rhythm & melody in that song !!

for the Anthology !

I got mine for my birthday on Thursday (and one of the signed ones, too!). Had a little poke at Divine and Div 2: DC, but I really wanted it for the soundtracks.

However, upon listening to them, it seems like a lot of tracks still haven't been included. I particularly like the Lanilor Lane tunes from DKS/FoV, and unless I've overlooked them, they're not included. In fact, I think we're still missing the FoV soundtrack in general. I'm also a little confused as to what constitutes "unreleased" or "rare", because I've had some tracks from Obscura for years thanks to Kirill's own site (where he hosts the Beyond Divinity, Divine Divinity and Divinity 2 soundtracks). Heck, even the digital soundtrack available in the vault is just the one on Kirill's site (for free) with fewer tracks.

I'm not particularly upset or anything, I just wondered why DKS/FoV was overlooked when the soundtracks were put together, or if we will get a separate release of those 'missing' tracks.

But the collection is, otherwise, great. It's sat on my shelf with pride between my copies of Drakensang: The River of Time and The Witcher.

There are a almost 100 music tracks in Divinity 2 alone. There's and only 40 in the soundtrack package, a bunch of which are from Divine Divinity or Beyond Divinity. The soundtracks are remastered versions of the game tracks, and I can definitely tell the difference.

I know they're "remastered" (it's the same for most game soundtracks, they're usually different to facilitate listening), but what I'm saying is that the Obscura tracks (or at least some of them) have been easily available on Kirill's site for a long while now.

And that site doesn't look entirely legal to me. I would like a legal way to acquire the music (or a selection of it) from Flames of Vengeance.

Not entirely legal? Well the guideline on the other forum I'm a member of is if the soundtrack is not reasonably available for purchase, it's okay. In the case of Kirill Pokrovsky's music, he lets people download it for free from his site, so on balance, I'd say it's probably fine. But whatever, link removed anyway.

If you want more tracks released, e-mail Larian or Mr. Pokrovsky yourself and ask.

Or bring it up on the official Larian forums *polite cough*

Unless there's a reply, there's no guarantee anyone in charge will even see it. Use e-mail.

It was mentioned in one of Swen's blog entries before you know. He didn't seem to bother Kirill publishing his tracks for free then.
