Sounds of (silent) background

[Messier-31]

Hello Obsidian, my old friend,

I've come to post with you again,

Because a vision softly creeping,

Left its seeds while I was playing,

And the vision that was planted in my brain

Still remains

Within the sound of silence

 

 

Hello! This just hit me.

 

When you enter the mill in Gilded Vale there are these huge cogs - no background sound of them turning at all.

When there is a rainfall - no background sound for the rain, nor random thunder sounds.

When walking in areas such as Defiance Bay - no background sounds of the city.

 

Why? Could this be fixed? Or at least considered in the sequel?

 

Remember Athkatla in BG2? A lot of cheers, jingles, barking dogs etc. heard somewhere in the background of the Waukeen Promenade.

Remember the Docks District? Sounds of mumbling drunk sailors, and other chimes of near-the-sea sorts.

Remember drums in the elemental plane of air in Irenicus Dungeon? Remember beautiful raindrops and wind blowing on the surface?

 

 

Best regards.
