    The worst is the battle theme you hear in Irenicus' dungeon. For some reason it always lingers long, long after the battle is over.

    Best music overall is the intro music you hear during character creation. Haunting.

    When you come back to kuldahar and orogs are attacking it. It's mad epic

    @simples Kuldahar is in Icewind Dale if I'm not mistaken. This is a Baldur's Gate forum. Also, please vote Other, if none of the above themes are your favorite

    ALL of Icewind Dale's music is spectacular. I recall that Jeremy Soule is the composer. He also did the soundtracks for The Elder Scrolls series.

    @semiticgod I agree wholeheartedly, but Baldur's Gate is the subject here.
  • ZaramMaldovarZaramMaldovar Member Posts: 2,309
    @elminster Fair enough, since they've made the IWD:EE games, I will allow it. But @simples should still actually vote "other". I apoligize if I came across as rude.

    It's the only theme that I remember, to be perfectly honest...

    I like killin' me some durgons.

    The Sarevok Battle Theme shares some similarities with the main theme of BG1, I find that to be awesome. It's making a full circle, some kind of echo reminding of where it all begun, the main theme is playing the the Temple of Bhaal as well.

    The close second is the battle theme called "The Last Battle" it's used in the Valley of Tombs, Cloakwood Mines and the Shipwreck. That's why enjoy the isle with Balduran's ship so much, Sarevok Battle Theme (From out of the Storm) is used there as well.

    I don't play with music on. Haven't for like 10 years.
  • YannirYannir Member Posts: 595
    @Lord_Tansheron How can you? Music is one of the best things about this game.
  • SmilingSwordSmilingSword Member Posts: 827
    Can't really remember any of the others atm. The Witcher 3's battle music has kinda overridden all other game battle music for me recently.

    Wow guy, sorry

    Bhaalspawn Battle music. Nothing makes me so hyped for virtual battle like that one.
  • NimranNimran Member Posts: 4,875
    Fun music for an equally fun battle.
  • doggydoggy Member Posts: 313
    The music playing inside the iron throne headquarters. I think it's the same as when you return to baldurs gate wanted by the law. Uh I want that creepy music as my ringtone. And you just know things are about to get serious when the first tones starts

    @simples No really, I apologize if I am came across as rude, I have Asperger's Syndrome (a high functioning form of Autism) and OCD, I can very easily come across as rude even if I'm not trying to be.

    I don't remember them quite enough to vote yet, but I consider both BG1's Final Battle and ToB's main menu's to be my favourites IIRC. I'll hear them from the games' files and see what I'll do later.

    Despite being the worst villain in the BG series, Melissan has the best boss battle music, if only because it has an epic callback to BG1's theme at 1:11. Gives me goosebumps every time!

    @Flashburn I actually really like Mellisan, I think she's a well written villain. Not the best (that would be Irenicus) but good.
  • dockaboomskidockaboomski Member Posts: 440
    Man, tough. I love almost all of the battle music in these games, but the final battle with Irenicus has the most catchy, stressful music of the game. It screws with your mood and cool and can easily make you lose your composure. To be fair, so does the dragon battle theme, but I feel that the Hell music works on my nerves a little more.

    It's so epic and fits perfectly for a final battle!

    For some reason, bg2 bhaalspawn battle music reminds me of gym battles in pokemon. Heh.

    However, Amelysan music really screams this is the end. The final shodown. Sarevok music in bg1 is pretty kick-ass as well.
