I’ll start it off - Legend of Dragoon has my heart with this one
Civ 4: Baba Yetu
Such a fantastic song. Not at all surprising that it was the first piece of music from a video game to not only be nominated for but to win a Grammy.
I like this video with it.
Skyrim for sure, nothing gets you more prepared to start a new adventure than that.
Honorable mention to the Last of Us after you’ve completed the game and are just sitting there, staring at the screen and wondering what to do next.
Outer Wilds takes the cake for me.
Skyrim and RuneScape 2 (pre-audio update) are both pretty damn iconic
At my wedding we had the DJ play Skyrim and Witcher 3 music during dinner and it worked way better than it had any business working
Some the Witcher 3 combat music is actually wedding music I believe, so that checks out.
Morrowind, hands down
Skyrim, by a longshot. That theme never failed to get me cranked to get my Nordic adventuring on.
HAH. HUAH. HAHH.
HAH. HUAH. HAHH.
OOOhhhh OHHHHH OUHHHHHH!!! AUHHHHHHH!!!
Saw this pop up in my replies before I noticed the context and was very confused… lol
Cadence of Hyrule, for sure. So damn good.
The correct answer is Civilization V Gods and Kings.
Morrowind
Final Fantasy XII
Kingdom Hearts main menu theme. It’s absolutely a nostalgia hit for me. That game was one of my “get-away” games while in a rough situation. Hearing that music always makes me feel a little safer, like I’m just one step away from a completely different life.
Dearly Beloved and the variations on it are the best. I’m partial to the version for Kingdom Hearts 2 but they’re all great
The BF1942 theme/title music is the most epic to me.
Max Payne. It sets the tone of the game at once.
Unreal Tournament 2004:
It wasn’t great. It was just good in sense of it’s time. Some of those music still instantly wakes me up and turns into hunting machine
I have the entire soundtrack in my music library, Hyperblast 2 Redeux is awesome.
I also regularly play UT2004 online, DM-Deck17 is my favourite original map, amazing flow, it just goes hard.
My favourite forever will be Gerudo valley remix from one of the custom games
But i know more song from original soundtrack
Gotta be Into Free which was the original main title music from Dragon’s Dogma.
It was removed for Dark Arisen for reasons I am unsure of, so it isn’t even something you can experience without mods.
It is wildly different from the rest of the game’s music but still connected in a way, and sets a very different vibe. Great game, great music.
