"Divine Divinity" from Divine Divinity on Windows & OS X (2002)
Composer: Kirill Pokrovsky
Album: Divine Divinity
Label: GOG
Publisher: cdv Software Entertainment
Developer: Larian Studios
I picked up Divine Divinity a couple of weeks back because it was on sale, but I'll go more into my reasoning on Friday (or Monday, or the following Friday, or Monday, or a week from Tuesday). All I knew about the game was that it took place in the same universe/world as the Divinity Original Sin series, which I also haven't played (yet), and that it was an isometric CRPG. So when I started the game, this song started playing over the opening menu, and the vocals kicked in four seconds later. I felt that this was as good an omen as any that I was going to be playing a good game.
It's just one of those feelings you get when you know very little about a game or a story and hear the first (or nearly first) piece of music the game throws at you, like "Nerevar Rising" from The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind, or "Opening" from ActRaiser, and you're immediately transported to the world and adventure the developers want to send you on. It's just a good feeling that I look forward to and am fortunate enough to experience.
I love music y'all.
