Das Kind im Bardewasser

Just a few words about the OST of the DLC Leliana’s Song. This prequel revolves around the backstory of our group's bard, Leliana, although the actual plot has been completely erased from my mental hard drive. If you've ever been in a high-fantasy cosmos, you won't be surprised by the content of the eight-track score; after all, it's about a bard. And where do you usually find bards? Right, in the tavern.

Consequently, unlike the main game, the music is more 'urban' and mostly avoids its melancholy tone. We are already familiar with the theme Leliana’s Song with its harp strumming and singing from the main game. Apart from that, the remaining songs all feature the guitar as the dominant instrument. Day in a Life, Evening and Night and Leliana’s Dance could easily stem from Skyrim or other genre representatives. In Sorrow the sadder tones are struck. In the Dungeon is dramatic, while Market Place as well as Street Fight bring us back to daylight. Nice if you're looking for some background music for the next pen-and-paper round.
