The song is also available to download via the My Singing Monsters Soundtrack.Ĭold Island has an ambience consisting of rough Arctic winds. With the absence of Monsters with the Earth element, the song is notably less percussive and more melodic, until Deedge is unlocked. The Island is home to a total of 65 Monsters and 149 Costumes.Ĭold Island’s song plays at a speed of 140 beats per minute and switches between the keys of B major, G# minor, and C# minor. It is the second Natural Island and manifests the Cold Element. It's an addendum at worst, but potentially the beginning of a new saga if some of the story developments pan out like I think they will.Cold Island is available to be purchased at level 4 with 5,000 coins. There are a lot of callbacks to the OG's in BG3, some more direct, and even some returning characters, but none of it goes any further than to simply ground the game in the same universe/continuity.

Though I'm not done yet, BG3 itself takes place like 100+ years after the events of BG2 + ToB and its central plot is pretty much entirely unrelated to those events and largely stars new characters, factions, and regions (with the exception of the titular city and one other area), whereas the endings and beginnings of BG1/2/ToB all take place within literal days/weeks of each other and all very explicitly revolve around the Bhaalspawn. BG3 lacks a real story throughline that links it directly to the other two like Halo 1-3 or Witcher 1-3 and especially ME 1-3. It's hard to call BG3 the capper of a "trilogy" that includes BG1 and 2 though, but that's hardly a knock on its quality. TBF, you absolutely DO carry all of that over between BG1 and 2 and subsequently Throne of Bhaal when you import a save (I dunno how Beamdog's Siege of Dragonspear factors into all of that though). No characters were killed off as 'jokes' off-screen (a few were killed unceremoniously) but also it hardly mattered because characters didn't get any development until BG2 anyway, the characterizations in BG1 could be reduced to their two dozen or so battle call outs. A few characters return that could have died because they didn't have a way to track that variable from 1, so they did what they could with that. They're references for references sake which doesn't paper over the fact that the events of the BG1 to TOB don't have any impact or follow through into BG3 outside the fact that Baldur's Gate was saved by the hero of those games.Īnd are you sure you played BG1 and 2? Because BG2 only important your character sheet, no decisions, which is why they set the game hundreds of miles away so nothing you did in BG1 really /could/ have any affect on it. Every other reference is an easter egg that points back to the game but doesn't say anything about it or develop it in any way. Love letters is a curious way to refer to returning characters either flat out ignoring development that happened in the series, or being reduced to a one-note cartoons that never matched their personalities in the original to begin with (Minsc is the only one they kinda get right, but he's a buffoon joke character anyway).
