Baldur’s Gate 2 has a decent enough soundtrack, but Throne of Bhaal took things in a completely different direction by embracing a very early 80s fantasy movie sound. (Note: do not ever actually watch any of these films, because the music is by far the best thing about them.)
Personal update: I am not dead, and will try to get out a full spread of posts next week. Going to be a while before I get my accommodation issues sorted though, I think — the Oxford rental market be crazy, yo.
