I picked up the anthology when they were offering the Pay What You Want deal, and am thoroughly enjoying Divine Divinity. However, when I downloaded the soundtracks for each game, there's some noticeable differences:
1) The track pairs 18 and 21, 36 and 39, 38 and 41, 43 and 45 of the Divine Divinity soundtrack are identical, bit for bit. Furthermore, the first song in the GOG version of the soundtrack is just ambient noise- not something I'd normally think of as a mistake, soundtracks do include these occasionally, but it's nowhere on the other version of the soundtrack, which I found on the composer's website. This means a total of five songs are missing, which after deduction I found to be (mind you, the track numbering for the GOG version starts at 01, and the composer's version starts at 00; I've adjusted the ones on the composer's site by adding one to each) 01 - Voin (Warrior), 21 - A Wind of Aleroth, 34 - On the Brink of Defeat, 40 - Dancing with Mirth, and 45 - Bitva (Battle). Now, at this point, you may be thinking "MarioFanaticXV, you're so silly; if you can download them from the composer's website, why complain about it at all?". Well, looking at the filesize of the two different versions of the soundtracks, it's quite apparent the GOG version is higher quality for the songs it has- which is to be expected, since the GOG version is paid, whereas the one on Kirill Pokrovsky's website is free. I want my high quality Bitva!
2) The tracks from Divine Divinity are unnamed, despite clearly being named on the composer's website... Kind of a bleed over from the previous complaint, but still legitimate and separate nonetheless.
3) The tracks from Divinity II: Flames of Vengeance are nor ordered properly, just listed by alphabetical order. What order are they supposed to be in?
