📋 About This Mod
Replaces the Elfsong Tavern song with a bardic cover, by Algal the Bard, of Running up that Hill by Kate Bush. simple drag and drop installation, no manager needed. Used with Artist permission. not for monetary use.
I don't know if this will work on patch 8, I'm still on patch 7, but as long as the game didn't rename the file names in the update, it should work. If they renamed the file names, it will not, simple as that.
The Elfsong Tavern, a historical tavern that has seen many decades of changes, and now one more. Song used with permission from Algal the Bard, I own no rights to anything here and nothing here shall be used for profit.
Are you tired of the same repeating song played everywhere? Do you want a small change that changes your entire mood? Do you like 80s music performed in the fashion of a medieval bard from medieval times? If you said yes to these questions, then you're in luck, because this changes the elfsong tavern song to a bardic interpretation of Kate Bush's "running up that hill" from such well known decades as; The 80's, the 2010's, and the 2020's. Edited for volume and time allowed, and minor changes in the bass to make it sound like its playing in the tavern and not in your music player.
To Install, Drop "data" folder into the main baldurs gate 3 installation folder, if you used steam to install it will be in the steam/common folder, NOT the larian studios folder where the standard mods go if you put this there, you are doing it wrong, IT ONLY GOES INTO THE MAIN INSTALL FOLDER, if you used previous replacers, click yes when asked to overwrite, if you have never used a replacer, you will not get that message. final path should look something like this if using steam "X:\Steamlibrary\steamapps\common\baldurs gate 3\data\public\shared\assets\sound\XXXX.wem" (there should be 2 wem files of the same size).
Known Issues: sometimes the song repeats twice, sometimes it plays once and the original song plays the second time. leaving camp and returning tends to fix this, but not always. If anyone has the wem file name for the third version/copy of the original elfsong tavern song, let me know and I'll update the mod.
