First things first, I want to say that Jeremy Soule is my favorite composer. I have 4 discs with GW music, and I must say that over a third of the tracks are not used in the game, many are rarely used, such as at the phases of the personal stories. I think it’s a waste of potential. Personally, in my opinion, the music in the game is extremely important. And it’s great part of the overall experience. Ignoring these moments, you deprive a large proportion of the game atmospherics.
And often there are flaws, moreover: for example, in Orr suddenly begins to play an easy, relaxing tune from queensdale. The atmosphere immediately goes nowhere.
Or, in dragonbrand, for example, plays unobtrusive, easy music too.
I would like to see some correction in this regard pls, if it possable.
There are many beautiful compositions, barely involved in the game. Such as “The Seraph”, often encountered in the trailers before release. “Heritage of Humanity” – same situation, only in the opening human video. “Snaff’s Workshop” not even played, well, in the Snaff’s Workshop… strange. “The Walls of Ebonhawke” – brilliant soundtrack, but… there is not inside the walls of Ebonhawke. “The Vigil Goes to War” – perfect composition for Kryta locations. I’ve heard it only on the disk. “Ventari’s Legacy”, good music for Grove. “Tyria Awaits” – good underwater music. “Tengu Wall”. “Zhaitan” – never heard it in Orr. “The Darkness Will Fall”. “The Saga of the Norn” – must be in Hoelbrak. “The Vaults of the Priory”. “The Charr Triumphant” – suppa-duppa mega music, it MUST be in Black Citadel at least, not only in Tequatl battle. “Here Be Dragons”, excellent track, but it sounds only in battle with Zhaitan. I would like to hear “Scales of Issormir” more often too. Oh… and of course a individually aboit “Fear Not This Night” composition. Branded music, not occurring in the game AT ALL. Plays only after the murder of Zhaitan (where it just did not have time to listen), and a piece of it in the grove vistas. Sadly…
Well, enough of text. I hope the basic idea I opened.
I know that the game has even more music than there is on the disks. I would like to see some “rebalance of soundtracks” around the world. In the capitals, for example, in the remarkable places and so on.
