Nothing like creating you and your friends and seeing who gets to the end, if anyone does. I got real good at the first few hours of Xcom 2 since all my custom characters kept dying and I refused to accept it.

BlueDremora said: Witcher 3, Priscella's Song... That shit almost made me cry the first time I heard it, probably also due to the fact that I've read all the Witcher books and really love the relationship between the characters. It's not often you get a character like Yennefer, whom you both love and hate in equal measures - but you ALWAYS feel something toward her. ^

in the topic Jeremy Soule won't be composing ES6's score in the forum Elder Scrolls

Mercurias said: Well that's too bad. Mr. Soule does a great job, and I'm sure he'll be missed. I'll be honest, though, I've been working 50+ hours a week for months. I can't be assed to care about one creator maybe not being a part of a game when we don't even know the direction the game is going to take or when it's going to be out. Frankly I understand his desire to clear the air so people can stop drilling him about ES6 so he can take back his social media platforms and advertise for the work he's doing today. Fair enough! There's tons of things I can't be assed to care about either. And you make a good point. Above and below his ES6 comments, he's pretty much just been promoting all his new work and talking about how excited he is.

The Long-Chapper said: Speaking as a professional musician, the themes are very similar, Legion, just a slight retool and a key change for FO4, subbing orchestral slap that you heard in FO3, the BUM BUM BUM BUM so to speak, with actually the starkness of a piano in the opening. The BUM BUM BUM BUM is actually present, just in piano reduction. Sounds more "pioneer" which actually fits with the Commonwealth setting, especially when there is a touch of solo fiddle before the main theme kicks in. But similar to me can be very different to another set of ears. Just like Oblivion's theme borrows from Morrowind, and Skyrim's main theme borrows from both Oblivion and Morrowind. I guess it's like not having the heartbeat rhythmic figure that proceeds every ES game. Rather ingenious actually, Heart of Lorkhan, heartbeat rhythm. And yes, it's present in Oblivion's theme too, just heavily disguised under the brass fanfare and sped up. As for ESO, Brad Derrick and Rik Schaffer borrowed material from Jeremy Soule to keep ES thematic consistency. I do not doubt that the person who is selected to composer for ES6 will do the same. It is expected, I think. It's certainly the possible end of an era, but I personally enjoy the ESO score and I like the scores for Fallout 4 and 76, just like I enjoy the scores for the prior games. If Inon Zur is selected, I'm actually rather curious to see what he does, as his work is interesting to me. To be honest, considering the current state of modern classical art music, video game scoring represent a growing niche in some quality, accessible, yet thematically rich material being composed. I already feature the more prominent composers of game scores in my Music Appreciation classes. Film composers too. Just my two cents on the matter. Well I'm glad someone was able to interpret by bumpkin talk. I had a think about it while at work, and I believe I know more specifically what issue I take with FO4's themesong. FO3's is full of apprehension that's created with noise. Sometimes it sounds like bending steel, sometimes it's just a nondescript dark tone. It feels like something is always lurking in the background. And after it gets through the main Fallouty motif, it makes room for the BUM BUM BUM BUM. It's reduction in FO4 is exactly the problem to my ears. FO4's theme, to me, just straight up removes any sense of apprehension for the world to come. FO3's is way more dynamic and energizing. There's drastic shifts between volumes and (I think) time signatures. The last half of FO3's themesong sounds like combat music -- a stark contrast to the slow and spacey beginning. FO4's themesong just feels too one-note. It plays the same thing a few times, climaxes, then fades out. FO3 plays to the end, and ends on a definite note. The notes aren't just held until there's silence. It feels to me like FO4's theme is saying "everything will be okay," whereas FO3's themesong is saying, "nothing is okay, be prepared for anything." But I suppose I'm just addressing another symptom of the direction Fallout has taken.
