Pardon my mistakes, English is not my first language.
I mean, really, there's many, many details you can improve to make this game fell more Baldur's Gate and less Original Sin (I am quite analitycal about this, have long list in my head), but all them hide when comes to music. Sorry to say that, I really like your previous work, just have to. Music in revealed gameplay is decent, but in no way can stand comparison of truly masterpiece work of Michael Hoenig and Inon Zur, as you surely know composers of music to the original saga. No way. It's not only that Baldur's Gate 3 pre alpha music is different style, it fells completely soulless (to be honest I barely remember it) and that's especially bad because music was always heart and climax of every Baldur's Gate game.
I trully don't understand one thing in relation to this. You surely know how important was music in building Baldur's Gate feel and it's hard to believe for me that you didn't see quality difference between what you show and original composers work. We all also know that you have huge budget, just for example high quality cinematics show that, so assuming you can afford - why don't you hire Inon Zur or Michael Hoenig* to work for you? This will almost guarantee not only instant satisfaction of BG community, but what's more important - brilliant quality of soundtrack. It's taking your own way no matter what really that important?
Larian, it's not to late. Don't make soundtrack, second or third most important part of BG identity, that different and far from Baldur's Gate original saga vibe, that lack of Baldur's Gate soul.
