Musopticon? Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I don't know abut the best, but that relaxed string tune near the Valley of Mines Pass in Gothic 2 just makes me all giddy, because it's almost like a tribute to the previous game. If I could, I'd grab my sword/bow/rune tighter and start marching my head up each time I hear it in the game. Great stuff. Tha main theme, in it's varied forms, of Toment is also very memorable. It sort of hinges between epicness and...othe stuff. Nothing like the bombastic bashing of BG 2 and IWD. Then again; IWD has some of the best single tracks I've ever heard. Like The Great Tree. kirottu said: I was raised by polar bears. I had to fight against blood thirsty wolves and rabid penguins to get my food. Those who were too weak to survive were sent to Sweden. It has made me the man I am today. A man who craves furry hentai. So let us go and embrace the rustling smells of unseen worlds
alanschu Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Haha, one the comes off the top of my head is the bar run by the Malkavian twins in Bloodlines. It's rave type music which I typically don't care for, but I felt it fit the situation so perfectly. Same goes for some of the Lucky Money music in Deus Ex. I also liked the Jenova fight music (and the boss fight music in general) of Final Fantasy 7. I can still play the fight music flawlessly in my head, despite not playing the game since like 1999 or so :D).
roshan Posted September 13, 2005 Author Posted September 13, 2005 Might and Magic VI, Alice, IWD <{POST_SNAPBACK}> This thread is aboiuit specific tracks, noit the muisiic as a whoile.
BicycleOfDeath Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Even though I'm not a fan of the game, I do like: Diablo II's - The Monastery. Stand Your Convictions and You Will Walk Alone.
EnderAndrew Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Stones, which is actually the solution to a puzzle in Ultima VI. The song becomes a common thread between Ultima VI, VII, VIII and IX. http://uxo.stratics.com/content/music/stoneschamber.mp3

Llyranor Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Annah's theme - PST (Approved by Fio, so feel free to use it)
Nur Ab Sal Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Bastila Shan from KotOR HERMOCRATES: Nur Ab Sal was one such king. He it was, say the wise men of Egypt, who first put men in the colossus, making many freaks of nature at times when the celestial spheres were well aligned. SOCRATES: This I doubt. We are hearing a child's tale.
Lord Tingeling Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The intro screen music from BG II and ToB. Also the Asylum music from VtM:BL. "McDonald's taste damn good. I'd rtahe reat their wonderful food then the poisonous junk you server in your house that's for sure. What's funny is I'm not fat. In fact, I'm skinny. Though I am as healthy as cna be. Outside of being very ugly, and the common cold once in the blue moon I simply don't get sick." - Volourn, Slayer of Yrkoon! "I want a Lightsaber named Mr. Zappy" -- Darque "I'm going to call mine Darque. Then I can turn Darque on anytime I want." -- GhostofAnakin
Tel Aviv Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Hmm. Strange question. The cantina track in KOTOR, reused in TSL for the Jekk Jekk Tar I believe. The music during the battle against Sarevok was also bad. And by bad I mean good.
Zulu 86 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 KOTOR 1 & 2 being the only RPGs I've really played - I'll have to agree with Nur Ab Sal with Bastila's theme. The Sith theme (the dark moody one that obviously lends from John William's Sith theme) comes a close second for me.
Arkan Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 KOTOR 1 & 2 being the only RPGs I've really played <{POST_SNAPBACK}> My condolences. "Of course the people don't want war. But after all, it's the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it's always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it's a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism, and exposing the country to greater danger." - Herman Goering at the Nuremberg trials "I have also been slowly coming to the realisation that knowledge and happiness are not necessarily coincident, and quite often mutually exclusive" - meta
vaxen83 Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The Jekk Jekk Tarr Battle song in K2 (the same song when fighting in the enclave sublevel). Although I would not want to listen to it again and again... Deep from within... Victims live a life of fantasy. Some see salvation as an act of God, a few look within for it. 朱宣澧
Lancer Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The Bhaalspawn fight song in Throne of Bhaal. That was the best. Lancer
Yst Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Favourite? There are so many. But to name just one, suppressing my urge to name so many others... Presently I am a pretty big fan of the PST Credits Theme.
Jumjalum Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 The intro music in IWD, just great at setting the scene. I like a lot of the music from FO and PST though. We now bring you live footage from the World Championship Staring Final.
Cantousent Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Okay, specifics, the level where Cat dies in American McGee's Alice. The first time the party sees the Great Tree in IWD. The music for Freehaven in Might and Magic VI. If I had to choose individual songs from the three titles, those would be my favorite from each. If I had to choose just one of the three, I'd give the Freehaven music the nod. Luckily, I make my own rules, so I'm going to say Alice, IWD, and Might and Magic VI.

Reveilled Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Aeris' Theme from FFVII (which was released on Playstation and PC, if memory serves) Hawk! Eggplant! AWAKEN!
Calax Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 I liked A Thousand Words from FFX2 (Darkside does too :ph34r: ) Victor of the 5 year fan fic competition! Kevin Butler will awesome your face off.
Magnum Opus Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 A few favourites: IWD2 -- Black raven monastary BG1 - Friendly Arm Inn, City (day) QfG Dragonfire - Silmaria (night), and the song that plays during your "special performance" at Gnome Ann's Inn, after you've got it all gussied up proper-like. Fits the scene to a tee. Morrowind Main Theme (I know it plays over and over again, but luckily I can listen to it over and over, so it doesn't get irritating for me ). Torment - Deionarra's Theme And from the Oldie But Goodie category... 'enry the 'ermit's music from Quest for Glory 1 (EGA) One of the bard songs from... I think it was Bard's Tale 2. I'd have to reinstall the game to be sure of which one I'm talking about, but my fingers are telling me that it's the third one in the list (and my fingers generally know what they're talking about. They can still find their way though the first level of Mangar's Tower if I just put them on autopilot. )
Tel Aviv Posted September 13, 2005 Posted September 13, 2005 Nihilus' Theme is very good also, very dark and foreboding.
