Can you believe this game is almost a decade old already? I uploaded this video because, like many, I was upset to discover that the Wild Orchard theme was not included on the purchasable OST. Judging by the comments and views, this delightful track struck a chord with many of us. I can't think of Witcher 3 without thinking of those strings chiming in as we enter the first beautiful zone. But hey, why read my words when you can simply listen to the magic for yourself 🎼🎶🎵 Take care, everyone!
Dude! I feel EXACTLY the same about TW3. In fact, i just told my girlfriend the exact same thing "I dont think a game had that effect on me since Final Fantasy IX". Oh man, FFIX, such a great game.
I support the Foltest, Damn you nilfgaard everything is your fault northern realms is better than you invade the vizima Everything was good But Something ends something begins i lost triss shani ciri because emyhr invade vizima. The vizima is our home shani triss foltest vesemir dandelion "LEO" I cant forget the leo
Reminds me of good old times. Finding Yennefer, Noonwraiths, Griffins, Campfires with Papa Vesemir. The Witcher 3 has a very special place in my heart 10/10.
Yeah, White Orchard was such a beautiful, carefree place. Can't believe I'm already feeling nostalgic, it's only been a year and a few months what the hell...
Hawksaw Crone ending ... but the title in general is sad because its the end of the story of witcher. Something ends = witcher something begins = cyberpunk 2077.
Danilo Gonçalves True, Witcher ending makes you feel like shit at first so as a person who got this the first time, this music is all the more significant. :P
A game is good, when it just freezes you in place, and makes you watch your surroundings while just listening. I feel sorry for whoever haven't played Witcher 3.
Frantic Nova I've tried to get my friends to play the Witcher 3. I keep telling them that it's an awesome game but they just think it's boring. They're missing out...
Having no idea where to go... being afraid of high level enemies... watching for the first time those breath-taking views... coming back after finishing the story... what a game.
I got the end where ***Spoiler*** Ciri becomes a witcher. But before one gets to know that the game makes you think that she's dead. This theme killed me as I walked through White Orchad in the epilogue.
Hi everyone, just wanted to drop by and thank you all for the positivity here. Still surprising how this tune wasn't included in the soundtrack - and happy that many of you have been able to find it here.
+RopeDrink Thanks for uploading this track; it's one of my favorites, and I think it perfectly evokes the sensations of dread and melancholy in a war-ravaged land.
+skyhawk00787 You're very welcome. I knew I couldn't have been the only one to a) love this track and b) be frustrated that it wasn't included in the OST, so uploading it was just a natural process.
+xzc No problem at all - it's uploaded for that reason. I looked all over iTunes and everywhere, not a single sign of the very first track that crashes right into your memory almost right at the start -- makes no sense.
C''mon I can't forget this song. This the song in the beginning; when I'm on level 1 and I am trying to get strong in order survive in a world savage by war and Ghouls.....
This song reminds me of White Orchard, Geralt with his Warriors jacket, Roach with his default saddle, a war-torn countryside and just being fully immersed in the greatest game I've ever played.
Well, never would’ve expected you to find interest in this type of music. Quite an exquisite taste for someone who makes - well, your type of content. Appearances never cease to deceive.
such a great theme for a place, it kinda sounds about sorrow but with silver lining of hope, which describes the place as it is, I'm glad I bought the game, CDprojekt deserve every money they get
Geralt: "Come on, Roach!", "Go! Go!", & "Prrrrrr....." [imitating what the horse would do] God, I love this video game so much. I love this song too. This song is so amazing, soothing & gorgeous. This whole video game brings so many tears to my eyes, whenever I hear the music, hear the dialogue, see & explore the world, etc. The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt makes me so happy & I'm already a happy person, but it makes me even more happy when I play it, experience it, etc. One of my favorite video games of 2015.
For some reason this tune has an enormous emotional impact despite not being related to any major events. Maybe it symbolizes the life of the people in White Orchard? Or the beginning of a long journey? The best bet I have is that it's a symbol of the past, since it represents the time you were learning about people, the environment and yourself (as a Witcher), and now it's a mark of that time period.
I love this. This is the best soundtrack in the entire game if you ask me. I just remember how I first stared the game and watching the trees blow in the wind. I can just hear Geralt saying "wind's howling".
The trees bending, the grasses rippling, the late afternoon sunlight heavy and orange...here and there, residents of White Orchard take stock of what unburnt possessions remain to them, perhaps debating with themselves if they should rebuild or seek a new life elsewhere...and one can almost smell the crisp, cold air of this late summer evening, heavy with scents of grass and grain and river, laced with the spicy odor of pine trees and the sweet hint of wildflowers. Such an evocative game, with moments of heartbreaking beauty. I've never played another game where I could simply ride in any direction, lost in the scenery and music, encountering whatever I encountered, having so much more than simple fun it's hard to describe. I just wish there was a way we could vacation in that world as Geralt.
I feel so damn alone in this, but man isn't this soundtrack kind of sad? Especially at around 1:25, it's more sad than peaceful and I get this weird feeling, like a connection to the music, so much so that it keeps taking me out of the game rather than immerse me in it. It's so amazingly well done, but listening to it makes me feel something akin to sadness but not exactly, it's such a weird feeling that I don't get often, and it bothers me so much cuz I'm not peacefully exploring anymore, I feel a bit sad and melancholy. Does anyone understand me here?

+XxdeathclawslayerxX Totally :) It reminded me of 1st and 2nd war with Nilfgaard and how desperate the situation is, because even though the northern realms unite and stop the invasion again, Nilfgaard will conquer them all sooner or later. (it is said in the books that sometime around 15th century, there are no more kingdoms on the continent, just Nilfgaard) :(
+Garrett Heinkel Yeah exactly, I mean I've listened to a lot of sad video game music in my time, music that plays in especially sad parts or as a character dies and I listen to them and go "man this is sad" and move on. But with some tracks I can't move on, it captures me in an intense way and it gets to the point where I can't say I'm enjoying the music because what I feel cannot be described as joy or happiness or enjoyment. It feels so weird. I can't get myself to stop listening to it though because I want to pinpoint this feeling but I can't haha. I feel the same way with Dragon Age: Origins' main menu/camp theme and sometimes The Last of Us soundtrack.
i think it represents exactly what the area you are exploring really is.. it's a beautiful place, but filled with lots of evil in it. when i play it gives me a feeling that something bad will happen all the time hahaha
+Norbert Milcarek I bought Hearts of Stone once (digital) and then I thought about playing Gwent in real life... "HOLY SHIT" . Then I bought the box edition with cards. I don't regret it :) This game is worth any asking price, a masterpiece :-)
Norbert Milcarek First off, I have never heard a name like yours, which country does it originate from? Second off, you willing to by it a third time on Switch?
Si Krushner That's exactly why I uploaded it. I don't get why these companies release semi-complete soundtracks. 9/10 times, released OST's always miss my favourite tracks from the game - happens way too often these days -.-
+RopeDrink Quite weird considering the most boring soundtracks are often included. Simple fightscene tracks with no real emotion, but they forget the second full instrumental open world theme after the Kaer Morhen soundtrack. Well probably not forgotten, just skipped..
I have never been so emotionally involved in a game until I played this. I have finished 5 playthroughs of this game and I still start a new game right after I'm done. It's very very disappointing that their not making another one. I just hope that one of these days, they surprise us and end up making another game. Fingers crossed.
+ethan davs they never said they arent making any more witcher games. quite on the contrary. what has been confirmed, however, is that Witcher 3 puts an end to Geralt's story. We will see more Witcher, that's absolutely certain. Probably in Ciri's boots
When I was at the White Orchard at the beginning of the game, I hardly knew I was starting one of the best games I've ever played in my life. I bought this game because the critics and the players were commenting very well on it and, I did not regret having bought it after I saw how deep and amazing this game is. It will always be on my list of the best games I've ever played.
Guys, these theme is based on "River of Life" from the original Witcher ost. It played during the first act of the game, right after the prologue. They probably used this version to connect us with that moment when we first delved into this amazing world.
+LordOcampo I think both of you are wrong. River of Life is from Chapter 4 and was the Theme of Murky Waters. But the prolog of TW3 has some strikeing similaritys to the first act of TW1. A Small village near Vizima that surrounds a tavern and is terrorised by a monster. In the basics its the same.
Well as you mentioned it i think Witcher 3's main theme is coming from Dragon Age Origins when you were in Dwarven City it's really kinda same.. (The Realm of Orzamar)
This music makes me think of an abandoned/destroyed land but yet still beautiful and with some people still trying to live their lives, and you have to save that land. It sounds both hopeless and sad but yet also hopeful and somehow optimistic. I haven't played it yet so I may be totally wrong. Can't wait to start it :)
I'll never forget my first real moments into this game, after the false serene atmosphere of Kaer Morhen. Passing by a ransacked village on horseback, looking down at the sobbing peasants, mourning their dead. Corpses in the fields and corpses hanging from trees, no sounds but the wails of widows and this crying orchestra. It broke my spirit but at the same time made me want to play this game more and more.
I cried myself to sleep for 3 days while listening to this, after i realised my cat who has been with me since i was 5, passed away last year. i didnt even get a chance to say goodbye to him, he just left. we found him frozen hidden behind the neighborhood's dumpster. listening to this now while thinking of him still brings tear to my eyes 😢. RIP little Snorre, may we meet again
To think, from hearing this for the first time to now, I've done multiple playthroughs, read an amazing series of books, been to Poland to attend a Witcher LARP that changed my life, and now I run weekly Witcher D&D sessions with friends I never would have met if it hadn't been for that LARP, and for this game. Man, what a game.
This music tells that life in countryside in middle of nowhere is hard and you need to work to get your food on the table. But also that there's a strong bond and community between the villagers and as long as you work together and cooperate you'll stay alive :)
Where Geralt tells Emhyr that Ciri is dead and returns to White Orchard the feels, the grief one goes through of losing someone who you hold dear, is indescribable! after 2 months of living this masterpiece and it all boils down to losing Ciri...but thankfully I got an ending where Ciri becomes a witcher but by the time it is revealed at the Inn that Ciri is very much alive, the depression of moving across White Orchard while this playing in the background!
+Preyansh Vyas This is what happened with me exactly i even shed some tears my god it was so painful. I've played many games but this is something else entirely
Aw shit man I got that ending on my second most recent playthrough. I was so fucking sad riding through white orchard thinking she was dead. But seeing her in the inn brought such a big smile on my face. It was like, even though I failed to kill Radovid and his dictatorship seized power, once Ciri was alive that was all that mattered. Truly I’ve never felt so emotionally invested in a bunch of pixels on a monitor before. Bravo, CD Projekt Red. Bravo.
This game ruined me. I can no longer enjoy other games like i used to. This game is trully raising the bar for what a game should look like in todays time.
The first time I played this game, I was filled with a great deal of joy upon hearing this melody. Now, times are worse, and when I listen to this, the nostalgia sets in and a dark feeling of longing for the past looms over me. All it takes is a good song to completely capture someone's mind.
Just started this game and got through White Orchard. Absolute masterpiece so far, I can't get over how beautiful the world is. I'm sure in the future this music will bring me a lot of nostalgia like everyone else
man i just finished the witcher 3, EVERYTHING done, all ?s (even skellige) all quests, made all the grandmaster sets and got all achievements, and this theme just breaks you, it brings me back to when i first started playing, trying to find/buy the ingredients to make more/better potions, being scared of 3 drowners and just not knowing what to expect next, also vesemir. this game is apart of my soul for all eternity, thank you cdpr.
I listen this and my heart is full of nostalgia, the beginning.... I love so much look the comments of another people and saw that they feel the same feelings as me. The Witcher III is more than a game. Is a beautiful and incredible history. And the OST is simply excelent too. I would pay to erase my memory to sense the same again. If it was a posible thing sure... Magic.
I haven't played witcher 3 for 2 years now and the feeling I get when I remember that is like someone put a knife in my heart. PS Im gonna play it again this Winter.
I should have it put on my gravestone, he lived, he loved, but most importantly he played the Witcher 3 (you haven't lived your best if you haven't played this game at least once) it will live with you forever.
White Orchard was so special thanks to this theme... It's probably one of my favorite areas in the game just thanks to this. For someone who had never experienced The Witcher before, it perfectly introduced me to the grim world of The Witcher.
When I started Witcher I thought: - Skyrim made a greater impression, might not like this game... 1-2 weeks later: *starts W3* - Oh god what I've been missing, this is a masterpiece
This music and sundown in The Witcher .... And u just want to set a camp , lie down, and look in to the sky... Witcher 3 is something i can't describe in words... It's a damn piece of art....
Dzisiaj mijają 3 lata od premiery tego arcydzieła... Łezka się w oku kręci... Pamiętam jakby to było wczoraj, gdy po raz pierwszy wjechałem do Białego Sadu i rozpocząłem ostatnią przygodę Geralta... Najwspanialsza trylogia w historii polskich gier.
The Witcher 3 is easily my favorite game of all time. The amazing gods and goddesses of modern gaming over at CD Projekt Red deserve every penny they get from this golden masterpiece. I simply don't know what I would do with my life if I never got to play this game.
Same. It’s amazing how quickly this game became my all time favorite. Surpassing classics I’ve been playing for many years, like Final Fantasy, Zelda, Dragon Age Origins.
I remember during my first playthrough the strings started to play as I was descending from the hill with Vesemir. People were sobbing. Hutts were burned down and bodies were hanging from the trees. Something in me changed. My perception of medivial times and the game. The naturalistic scenery in this game reminded me how well off I am in my life and how things have improved in centuries. Everything in this game speaks to you, every little detail.
Love White Orchard. The music, atmosphere, the sense you’re about to set off on this grand adventure. Makes me wish the game gave us a reason to go back to White Orchard (outside of the ending) at some point later in the story, with another whole part of the map opened up. Kind of like Hearts of Stone gave us a little extra map area in the Novigrad region.
this game is a masterpiece, there is a different kind of feeling when you go back to white orchard after completing the game and listening to this soundtrack there,it touches the heart😭
It was pure magic! This little village reminds me at the outskirts of Vizima! Wich was my alltime favourite in the first Witcher! I love the melancholic feeling, the depression and sadness you can hear in this track... I love this theme so much!
This song and coming into this game for the first time blind. It really really did an amazing job and painting a picture to me at just how fucked and almost like a feeling of hopelessness this world felt.

So much memory in this soundtrack. Finishing the game feels like losing a friend.
Exactly how it feels. I don't think a game's had that effect on me since Final Fantasy IX. Maybe Dragon Age Origins, but not as much.
Dude! I feel EXACTLY the same about TW3. In fact, i just told my girlfriend the exact same thing "I dont think a game had that effect on me since Final Fantasy IX". Oh man, FFIX, such a great game.
Yes I felt the same. Even with the good ending I felt so sad, lonely, and heart broken.

Evan Codsworth it reminds of the first days of its release with no DLC and the mystery of the story ahead of you
This song and Kaer Morhen soundtrack cannot be forgotten. At least, in my soul.

Wtf? So? You can kill Radovid to get the best ending xDDDD
letting nilfgarddian win is not so bad, cuz if you let radovid live the herbalist's house in white orchard will be set on fire i think
I can't explain why, but for some reason I liked White Orchard very much. :)
I love White Orchard. Been there alot. Mainly because I restarted 3 times already.
I got a different vibe from white Orchard. It was something that was once peaceful, serene and beautiful, but now the chaos of war has taken hold.
I feel safe there. I go there when I'm tired of fighting. Sit outside the pub and look at the sun and drink a beer in real life.

I have never been so emotionally involved in a game until I played this. I have finished 5 playthroughs of this game and I still start a new game right after I'm done. It's very very disappointing that their not making another one. I just hope that one of these days, they surprise us and end up making another game. Fingers crossed.
+ethan davs they never said they arent making any more witcher games. quite on the contrary. what has been confirmed, however, is that Witcher 3 puts an end to Geralt's story. We will see more Witcher, that's absolutely certain. Probably in Ciri's boots
+ethan davs Dude u tryed heart of stones ? just wait a little for the next dlc blood and wine :).
Beautiful comment by the way !
+XoOxstArTiKXoOX Yeah I have played hearts of stone. I need blood and wine right now lol
ethan davs Mee too omg *-*
+XoOxstArTiKXoOX can't wait
When I was at the White Orchard at the beginning of the game, I hardly knew I was starting one of the best games I've ever played in my life. I bought this game because the critics and the players were commenting very well on it and, I did not regret having bought it after I saw how deep and amazing this game is. It will always be on my list of the best games I've ever played.
Guys, these theme is based on "River of Life" from the original Witcher ost. It played during the first act of the game, right after the prologue. They probably used this version to connect us with that moment when we first delved into this amazing world.
+LordOcampo i think you mean outskirst of vizima ? river of life plays on act 2
+LordOcampo I think both of you are wrong. River of Life is from Chapter 4 and was the Theme of Murky Waters.
But the prolog of TW3 has some strikeing similaritys to the first act of TW1. A Small village near Vizima that surrounds a tavern and is terrorised by a monster. In the basics its the same.
LordOcampo p
Hmm, this draws more from 'The Dike' I think. And 'The Dike' is the track at act 1 IIRC.
Well as you mentioned it i think Witcher 3's main theme is coming from Dragon Age Origins when you were in Dwarven City it's really kinda same.. (The Realm of Orzamar)
This music makes me think of an abandoned/destroyed land but yet still beautiful and with some people still trying to live their lives, and you have to save that land. It sounds both hopeless and sad but yet also hopeful and somehow optimistic. I haven't played it yet so I may be totally wrong. Can't wait to start it :)
_Did you start playing it now?_
I'll never forget my first real moments into this game, after the false serene atmosphere of Kaer Morhen. Passing by a ransacked village on horseback, looking down at the sobbing peasants, mourning their dead. Corpses in the fields and corpses hanging from trees, no sounds but the wails of widows and this crying orchestra. It broke my spirit but at the same time made me want to play this game more and more.
Truly. A masterpiece of our time. No “game” will ever come close to this.
I cried myself to sleep for 3 days while listening to this, after i realised my cat who has been with me since i was 5, passed away last year. i didnt even get a chance to say goodbye to him, he just left. we found him frozen hidden behind the neighborhood's dumpster. listening to this now while thinking of him still brings tear to my eyes 😢. RIP little Snorre, may we meet again
Pov: you are trying to learn how this games works but you stop at times just to enjoy its environment.
To think, from hearing this for the first time to now, I've done multiple playthroughs, read an amazing series of books, been to Poland to attend a Witcher LARP that changed my life, and now I run weekly Witcher D&D sessions with friends I never would have met if it hadn't been for that LARP, and for this game.
Man, what a game.
This theme is so depressing yet so beautiful. It perfectly describes the life in white orchard if you know what i mean.
This music tells that life in countryside in middle of nowhere is hard and you need to work to get your food on the table. But also that there's a strong bond and community between the villagers and as long as you work together and cooperate you'll stay alive :)
Where Geralt tells Emhyr that Ciri is dead and returns to White Orchard the feels, the grief one goes through of losing someone who you hold dear, is indescribable! after 2 months of living this masterpiece and it all boils down to losing Ciri...but thankfully I got an ending where Ciri becomes a witcher but by the time it is revealed at the Inn that Ciri is very much alive, the depression of moving across White Orchard while this playing in the background!
+Preyansh Vyas This is what happened with me exactly i even shed some tears my god it was so painful. I've played many games but this is something else entirely
Aw shit man I got that ending on my second most recent playthrough. I was so fucking sad riding through white orchard thinking she was dead. But seeing her in the inn brought such a big smile on my face. It was like, even though I failed to kill Radovid and his dictatorship seized power, once Ciri was alive that was all that mattered. Truly I’ve never felt so emotionally invested in a bunch of pixels on a monitor before. Bravo, CD Projekt Red. Bravo.
I got the bad ending, so she actually did die for me :(
The best game ever created and the best game of the generation and the decade without any doubts
This game ruined me. I can no longer enjoy other games like i used to. This game is trully raising the bar for what a game should look like in todays time.
man 1:03-1:11 really hits my soul
this part is really caressing my heart man.
Absolutely
Yea
DYING LIGHT safe zone music?!
what a game what a game!
1:03 this part is piercing through my soul and goes right into my deepest abyss of memories..
Funny that's the same melody when you unlock a safe zone in Dying Light 1, both games released on 2015
اه كمية ذكريات ، حياة جميلة بدون مسؤوليات أكبر همك محاضرة وأختبار
ايام جميلة
و الآن ما هو أكبر همك ؟
و الآن ما هو أكبر همك؟
Witcher 3 will forever have a place in my heart.
1:02 Sounds ecactly like the jingle you get when you clear a Safe area in dying light :o
You are god damn right 😂😂👋👋
Holy crap, thats true! :O
I'm very late but the music was made by the same guy, i guess he liked this part enough to reuse it
Really captures the mood of a previously beautiful village ravaged by war and people struggling to live day to day.
The violin is well used in this soundtrack.
this song makes me remember a lot of things . . .. .oh those days!!
Too much nostalgia. Oh, fuck... I told myself not to cry...
Sad,peaceful and nostalgic. The witcher 3. The best game of this generation. 😢✌💖
This track makes me ache. It set the tone for the game perfectly.
The first time I played this game, I was filled with a great deal of joy upon hearing this melody. Now, times are worse, and when I listen to this, the nostalgia sets in and a dark feeling of longing for the past looms over me.
All it takes is a good song to completely capture someone's mind.
It absolutely has a way of making you feel sorrow.
I feel homesick for a place I´ve never been to
Just started this game and got through White Orchard. Absolute masterpiece so far, I can't get over how beautiful the world is. I'm sure in the future this music will bring me a lot of nostalgia like everyone else
man i just finished the witcher 3, EVERYTHING done, all ?s (even skellige) all quests, made all the grandmaster sets and got all achievements, and this theme just breaks you, it brings me back to when i first started playing, trying to find/buy the ingredients to make more/better potions, being scared of 3 drowners and just not knowing what to expect next, also vesemir.
this game is apart of my soul for all eternity, thank you cdpr.
I listen this and my heart is full of nostalgia, the beginning.... I love so much look the comments of another people and saw that they feel the same feelings as me.
The Witcher III is more than a game. Is a beautiful and incredible history. And the OST is simply excelent too.
I would pay to erase my memory to sense the same again. If it was a posible thing sure...
Magic.
Exactly my feelings bro , i would pay a great ammount of money to erase my memory and play it as the first time.
this game is so perfect, i'm crying
1:03-1:13 always gives me chills. best game i've ever played 11/10
I haven't played witcher 3 for 2 years now and the feeling I get when I remember that is like someone put a knife in my heart. PS Im gonna play it again this Winter.
I swear when I heard this music the first time, I could feel the cold breeze and see the sun shining through the blossoms.
The first time I heard it felt really depressing and I couldn't wait for it to finish.
But now I see it more relaxing than anything.
I should have it put on my gravestone, he lived, he loved, but most importantly he played the Witcher 3 (you haven't lived your best if you haven't played this game at least once) it will live with you forever.
This is what I was looking for. :)
+TheRebelLion96 Glad you found it ^^
+RopeDrink please make a 1 h version
+KryStu Gameplay I never understood that...
cuz there is no repeat automatically option man
Right click then select loop
ABSOLUTE CINEMA, this games is something else...
White Orchard was so special thanks to this theme... It's probably one of my favorite areas in the game just thanks to this. For someone who had never experienced The Witcher before, it perfectly introduced me to the grim world of The Witcher.
When I started Witcher I thought:
- Skyrim made a greater impression, might not like this game...
1-2 weeks later:
*starts W3*
- Oh god what I've been missing, this is a masterpiece
I liked skyrim but the witcher is so much fun
@@buildawall5803 I never finished Skyrim. I think I'm going to reinstall. I'm currently listening to Skyrim Ambient sounds because it helps me study
This music will always remember me of the start of the game in äWhite Orchard. It's so awesome and somehow sad at the same time.
Halfway through the game and already feel nostalgic. Damn.
Same
This music and sundown in The Witcher .... And u just want to set a camp , lie down, and look in to the sky... Witcher 3 is something i can't describe in words... It's a damn piece of art....
Yup Of Course
I sit in real life regularly with a beer outside the pub close to Novigrad and drink and take it all in.
Dzisiaj mijają 3 lata od premiery tego arcydzieła... Łezka się w oku kręci... Pamiętam jakby to było wczoraj, gdy po raz pierwszy wjechałem do Białego Sadu i rozpocząłem ostatnią przygodę Geralta... Najwspanialsza trylogia w historii polskich gier.
The Witcher 3 is easily my favorite game of all time. The amazing gods and goddesses of modern gaming over at CD Projekt Red deserve every penny they get from this golden masterpiece. I simply don't know what I would do with my life if I never got to play this game.
Best game i've ever played, and i've played alot of games
Same. It’s amazing how quickly this game became my all time favorite. Surpassing classics I’ve been playing for many years, like Final Fantasy, Zelda, Dragon Age Origins.
Such a shame they didn't put this on the soundtracks. Such haunting beauty...
I'm not crying, you're crying! 😢
Favorite track in this game. It’s so eerie and melancholy. What a masterpiece this game is
I remember during my first playthrough the strings started to play as I was descending from the hill with Vesemir. People were sobbing. Hutts were burned down and bodies were hanging from the trees. Something in me changed. My perception of medivial times and the game. The naturalistic scenery in this game reminded me how well off I am in my life and how things have improved in centuries. Everything in this game speaks to you, every little detail.
Love White Orchard. The music, atmosphere, the sense you’re about to set off on this grand adventure. Makes me wish the game gave us a reason to go back to White Orchard (outside of the ending) at some point later in the story, with another whole part of the map opened up. Kind of like Hearts of Stone gave us a little extra map area in the Novigrad region.
this game is a masterpiece, there is a different kind of feeling when you go back to white orchard after completing the game and listening to this soundtrack there,it touches the heart😭
This song is so magical, I get a strange feeling listening to it. Powerful music
Listen to "The Dike" from first Witcher game ;)
Just finished this Masterpiece !!! Epic Epic game best game ever
This is how the adventure began! Best game ever
Can't get enough of this game, a true masterpiece.
1:03 always gives me goosebumps
i love this theme so sad but peaceful.
Wish me luck, mates
Im playing this game for the first time and Im currently doing the DLCs
It was pure magic! This little village reminds me at the outskirts of Vizima! Wich was my alltime favourite in the first Witcher!
I love the melancholic feeling, the depression and sadness you can hear in this track... I love this theme so much!
That beautiful sweet sun set while riding ...the breeze through the trees ...and the mysterious sounds from the forest while using special senses .
This song and coming into this game for the first time blind. It really really did an amazing job and painting a picture to me at just how fucked and almost like a feeling of hopelessness this world felt.
