Favourite music track in a PC rpg?

[Zulu 86]

KOTOR 1 & 2 being the only RPGs I've really played

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

My condolences.

Well, RPGs aren't always what I go for.

 

Tell you a good music track from a none-RPG game though - Slow Blades, from Operation Flashpoint.

That's semi related by the fact that the sequel will (apparently) be effectively an RPG...and a war sim...but by simulating the war, it gives it large RPG traits. Or something.

 

LBA 1&2 had some great music, though I suppose that was just an adventure game rather than an RPG

[Child of Flame]

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).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

 

That's an actual licensed song actually. I know because I ripped the MP3s out of the game files so I could play them out of game. Cursed by Morgoth apparently. I liked Cain by Tiamat more though personally (song that plays in the Asp Hole).

 

Deionarra's theme really resonates with me somehow. Gave me chills the first few times I head it and I still remember it.

 

All the music in Beyond Good & Evil is really awesome, especially the song that plays inside the Akuda Bar. Most awesome thing is that they made up their own 'language' in the music for the game, that's a mixture of different Earthen languages where the end result is it's thouroughly confusing to just about everyone what it's talking about.

 

What was really weird is I was at the Wild Animal Park in San Diego, and they were playing the opening/credits music from that game during their Bird Show.

RPGs are the only way to go.

Some of the music from SW: JK: Jedi Academy, the part on Tatooine where the PC fights through sandpeople while heading towards the sandcrawler. (Wasn't too rushed)

[Laozi]

I really liked alot of the music from the first Splinter Cell game.

[Cantousent]

Torment - Deionarra's Theme

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

 

This one is one of my favs also.

[Pope]

I've a soft spot for the opening theme to World of Warcraft.

 

It's also the only thing I still like about that game.

[mkreku]

The main theme in Deus Ex is really good.

Some music from Gothic 2 really suit the game well and gave me goosebumps when I first heard it, but I have no idea what the tunes were called.

The tune being Isolated by Emileigh Rohn, a.k.a., Chiasm, from Disorder.

 

And the tune was indeed fantastically atmospheric in the club. The entire club's aesthetic was incredible. A masterpiece of gameworld set design.

The intro song for FO2 : "A kiss to build a dream on" written and sung by Louis Armstrong.

 

Sometimes I would start up the game to play, and then, just sit there listening.

 

I love this song.

I agree. Great song. And now i'm listening to it

[Musopticon?]

The Downtown theme from Bloodlines is like the background swing of the game. I love it.

[kalimeeri]

All time (not all rpg) favorites: Erana's theme from QFG, Robert Holmes' Gabriel Knight series tracks. Freespace 1&2, IWD 1&2, Kotor 1, Dungeon Seige 1, PS:T all had outstanding, memorable music as well.

[Gabrielle]

Everything about Bloodlines music kicked a$$. The theme, area music and club music all are great. It's the only game I played that I would give a 100% perfect score music wise.

 

Both Fallout games theme music is good.

[alanschu]

I was just about to say it, but Bloodlines does have an excellent soundtrack!

[Shadowstrider]

The entire IWD/HoW soundtrack rocks mah socks.

 

If I had to pick one song from it, it'd be a toss up between the theme for the final visit to Easthaven (

when it is controlled by Belhifet and the Shard

) or the svirfneblin village's theme (hell the entire Dorn's Deep musical score, even). Those two really resonate with me.

 

I also really loved the Candlekeep theme from Baldur's Gate.

[Yst]

Another Bloodlines song I really like is Genitorturers' Lecher Bitch, which if I recall correctly is played in the Last Round (Anarch bar).

 

 

It works pretty fantastically as an Anarch tune.

[Gabrielle]

IWD has a great soundtrack as well. It fits the game perfectly.

[Meshugger]

Final Fantasy VIII - "Liberi Fatali" (used in the intro movie)

Final Fantasy VII - "A One Winged Angel" (Best boss-theme in any game, peroid)

[Hurlshort]

Quest for Glory had some great tracks. The wilderness music from QFG IV was awesome, and the track they played in the Thieves Guild of the remade QFG 1.

[angshuman]

Diablo 1's Tristram

[Gorth]

Ddin't we have a similar thread very recently ?!?

 

Ah well, crpg's I remember for their music too: VMBL, PS:T, Fallout and Ultima IV (C64 Version)

[Gabrielle]

Diablo 1's Tristram

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

That was good among others. Some of their music sounded like it came from some death metal bands.

[Musopticon?]

Well, there was one track you could roughly call metal. It was played in the lave caverns before descending to hell. But everything was made by one man; Matt Uelmen. There was no "them"

[roshan]

The music in the caves is not even remotely similar to metal!

 

Diablo 1 had great music though.
