      Actually if you play redemption path. This song hits harder, especially if you helped her. It’s the important turning point that can either strengthen or change Dark Urge’s heart toward good.

      I actually thought something was up because she can't join your party and Durge, being my second playthrough, I knew you couldn't recruit her as a "normal" tav.
      I didn't expect to wake up to being covered in her blood, her body mutilated to hell and back and a sacrificial mark to bhall being drawn in her blood around her.
      Needless to say, figuring out that Durge was bhallspawn is pretty easy if you are a little familiar with the lore. I'm a little disappointed you can't religion skill check it.

      As I had learned to play instruments, I even played a duet with her in my camp. Lae'zel and Astarion liked it so much that they threw gold. Then I went to bed... now here I was thankful that I had been warned.
      When you meet her first and ask her if she is OK, she says something like "I am moments away from dying a grisly death..." ... (("at the hands of this song.)

Later on I was just ecstatic when she joined the camp and wanted to adventure with you. I would get to hear more songs throughout my campaign.

    I love BG3’s portrayal of Tieflings. Players and DMs often just treat them as the “edgy” choice, but here they’re humanised in a way that really brings out the tragedy of their race. Sure, they look like devils straight from the Nine Hells, but they’re just people - they love and fight, they eat food and tell stories, they mourn lost loved ones and regret missed opportunities just like everyone else. This is the song of a young bard mourning the loss of her teacher and fearing that she’ll never live up to her - the fact that she has horns and a tail is the least important part of her character.

    Found Alfira completely by chance while exploring the area, thought she'd just be some random NPC you could talk to for a bit. Instead I helped her finish a tribute song for a dear friend who had recently passed away and even better I got to hear it when she finished. I'm amazed not just at how beautiful this song is, as well as the amazing voice this singer has, but with how much work was obviously put into something that many players won't even see their first playthrough.
    Larian Studios is everything I remember Bioware being years ago, back when they were still my favorite developer. It warms my heart to know that we finally have someone else to carry that legacy forward.

    My first playthrough I smashed her lute because I thought it would be funny. It led to a recurring joke where I would roleplay my paladin as deeply resentful of all music, but I never got to hear the song.
    My second playthrough was as a Dark Urge bard. Up until the encounter with Alfira I didn't really know what direction to take him. I would usually heed the urge, mostly out of curiosity, because it was the only piece of identity he could cling to. Jamming together with Alfira was the first time I really had him show any kind of humanity, like the power of music dredged up some distant love buried underneath the bloodlust. When she came to my camp I was excited for more interactions with her in the future.
    The next morning broke my heart, man. My poor bard's one glimmer of hope, disemboweled by his own hand. It seemed like he would never be free of the urge, and I decided he would throw himself at the mercy of the only other one who, until then, had promised him a place in the world. So he went straight to the goblin camp, proclaimed himself a True Soul, and took on the brand of the Absolute.
    And that's how my evil playthrough started.

    i completely missed alfira on my first playthrough of act 1 but fell in love with her by the end of act 3, so when i restarted on a new save i made sure to seek her out. i had no idea about this cutscene so it was such a lovely surprise, even more so after she asked to stay in our camp during our first long rest. unfortunately, i restarted as the dark urge. sorry alfira

    Came across her when I was playing the game for my first time last night and it was so beautiful!

    What a shame to hear this masterpiece just once through the game. I have to come here to enjoy it again and again.

    Mr. Slavov, I have been following your work since Divinity Original Sin 2, and still this is one of my favorite soundtracks. In addition, I had the great pleasure to be present at the premiere concert of music from Baldurs Gate 3 and Divinity Original Sin 2 in Wrocław and also seeing you live. I hope that in the future I will also have the opportunity to participate in such a musical performance presenting your next works.
