Baldur's Gate - ??? (this isn't Gorion's music, I don't think)

That is also the main theme of the E3 BG2 trailer.

It's the Gorion battle music, that plays when the 'Armored figure' (I think that's the euphemism used) attacks you.

 

In a semi-related note, I haven't had bg1 installed in a while, but I seem to remember there was a fairly epic battle tune playing at and about the final confrontation in the temple. For some reason I can't seem to find that on teh y0utub35 or anywhere else for that matter? Did I just imagine it, am I going nuts, or did the Shadow Wights* get it?

You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that?

Really?! When

Gorion gets off'd

, you mean? Yikes, I need a replay. I thought it might've played during Sarevok's Temple beat down.

 

Yes. And no, you're probably thinking about the second song I mentioned or something.

 

It actually took me quite a while to realise that Gorion and Minsc had the same voice actor. Mad skillz, indeed.

 

Or maybe it's just the epic audio compression. :)

 

Edit: I'm not as sure as I was, to be honest. That sounds way too epic for a one-sided struggle. :p

"Alright, I've been thinking. When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons.

You make it sound like Barber's Adagio was made for Homeworld. Also, I don't really like how they upped the tempo in Homeworld's version. It gimps the sorrow it's supposed to transmit.

Agreed.

 

Here's a version of pure music for more pure awesomeness:

 

 

(I still think it's cheating to pick some of the most awesome pieces of music from history and then say they're the best game themes haha)

Of course I'm aware the soundtrack is a lot older than Homeworld, which is why I only posted it now. I wondered if it actually counted.

 

EDIT: I prefer the faster tempo. In terms of game themes with only a choir, I guess this one "counts" more. Chandelier - To All Things. Not as chilling as Adagio for Strings, unfortunately.

That's a really awesome creepy song and the trailer was really nice as well.

 

Props to the marketing department, too bad those guys aren't doing the ME2 or DA trailers...

Role play games for me, and with a distinctive lust in combat, such as Jedi Knight series, WITH BLASTERS and a plot, I damn hate CoD and Halo, I like Mortal Kombat though.

This thread is about games' music... :ermm:

Star Wars game music is good as a whole, but it never differs. Seriously, I am currently hearing a track on Empire at War that I heard on Rebel Strike and Jedi Academy, and Episode 5.

'Theme' is an ambiguous word DN :)

 

You are right though, reading the beginning of the thread sort of hints heavily at it being about game music and not game genre :ermm:

True... But I don't think that his post would fit any "standard" definition of the word. :ermm:

Oh I loved when QfG4 did this

 

Those were some special nights.

 

I'm somewhat confused by Aubrey Hodges but I absolutely adore QfG4's soundtrack.

 

Conquests of Longbow theme

 

Glastonbury Tor from Conquests of Camelot

 

I just love that Conquests series musical feeling. I guess that's all Mark Seibert. Anyway, something from non-Sierra too.

 

 

I generally prefer the colder disturbing touch of Serpent Isle, but I just couldn't find it. Oh well...

 

 

I loved how Ultima Underworld II was a midquel between U7 and Serpent Isle. All those interesting worlds... that LSD-inspired world for example, and such a tragic undertone to it. Back when Guardian seemed to be cool. Unfortunately that arc was ended in a most dissapointing way possible. Oh well.

Enough with the dancing clown.
