First noticed by GamesRadar, Withers pulled out all of the stops in Baldur’s Gate 3’s new post-game epilogue, calling in a favor with the Forgotten Realms’ god of music, Milil, to carry out for you. Followers observed an uncanny resemblance to Larian composer Borislav Slavov, and whereas the artist did not verify it both manner, it looks like a deliberate homage.
Slavov beforehand did the wonderful soundtrack for Divinity: Authentic Sin 2, and his rating for Baldur’s Gate 3 is up for greatest music at this 12 months’s Sport Awards. I did not clock the resemblance between Slavov and Milil instantly, however seeing them aspect by aspect, that is completely him, proper? In response to GamesRadar’s reporting, Slavov merely replied “Effectively..🙃” on Twitter.
Picture 1 of 2
The Forgotten Realms has a ton of gods, all of whom have died, come again, grow to be mortal, been forgotten, and been re-deified at the least a few times within the setting’s 36-year historical past. Milil’s positively one of many less-flashy deities, by no means like that diva, Bhaal. I keep in mind him from my outdated Forgotten Realms 3E Faiths and Pantheons sourcebook although—a lunchpail god you possibly can cling your hat on, and each pantheon wants a god of music, proper?
For those who discuss to him at Withers’ social gathering, you possibly can cross a Faith examine to infer his identification, or use deception to flatter him that manner and get Milil to play totally different tunes from the soundtrack. The god implies that he owes Withers (who himself might be an incarnation of the Realms deity Jergal) for saving his keister. In some unspecified time in the future prior to now, Milil ticked off yet one more god, Cyric—assume some form of kooky fantasy Joker, he’d positively be performed by Mark Hamill doing The Voice.
However all that is neither right here nor there. This story does mix two of my favourite issues, although: obscure lore from the D&D sourcebooks I hope I can nonetheless discover in my mother and father’ basement, and humorous cameos/casting gags. You possibly can nonetheless vote for Slavov’s BG3 rating within the Sport Awards, by the best way. He already has my vote.
