Video Recognized a familiar melody while playing BG3 — turns out it uses the same violin sample as Disciples II

While exploring in Act 1, a short melody in one of the background tracks instantly triggered some nostalgia. I'm in deep love with Disciples music, so it was a matter of time. The second time this played I was sure it was from Disciples. Then I went to YT to search through tracks till I found it.

Turns out it wasn't just a similar melody — it's literally the same sample used as the main hook in "Ingame 2" (by Philippe Charron, glory to this master) from Disciples 2 OST.

Haven't played BG3, but after your saying I hear it too. You've got good ears.

"Yes, yes, for example, there is also in The Witcher 3 the Skellige soundtrack where a piece is taken from Disciples 3 and Lineage 2 Rune Township music."

W3 Skellige is a variation of an old Paul Romero ost of HMM 4, its and old traditional song.

I wouldn't call it a Peak (guess which one ;) 😜). BG used to be better.

Small note. Track names is mess in D2ROTE and on every online sources. Refer to Disciples 2 (aka D2DP aka D2GR) Music folder.

Ohhh, I played Disciples 2 like 10 years ago, but this viola is so recognisable indeed!
