The music in this game boring

[Amogus]

After playing genshin and honkai star rail ost the music in this game just so lacking. It doesn't have the rock moment, honkai star rail is also Turn based RPG but it deliver a great experience, the cocolia boss fight sound track is so fire! Please add better sound tracks.

Here is an example of the cocolia boss fight from honkai star rail how music bult a great fight.

I like the music, but I wouldn’t be surprised if modders allow you to add your own custom tracks in the future.

Speaking of GREAT JRPG music, give Astlibra Revision a look. It has a huge range of genres it takes inspiration from: https://youtube.com/watch?v=He9-xCwiqMY&list=PLwVzO-i3_UbQ2Rph6i65yIfQ0Qtc3iI48&index=100&pp=iAQB8AUB

The right background music increases the immersion tremendously!

Variety is important. In WotR, the music changes constantly, depending on the current events, it becomes dramatic, contemplative, scary or exhilarating. This is what makes the respective events really atmospheric.

Variety is part of the problem, or lack of it. In a lot of games the music repeats far too often.

tbh bg3 ost more than ok...
it's obvius the music can't be something who hit hard cause the gameplay kinda chill and tactical and need to match whats goin on on screen unlike genshin etc where you only smash button most of the time...

but at this point seems like people try to found everything they can to trash the game lol

and people talk about lack of variety in bg3? you can find on ytb a full soundtrack (6h) from EA launch... (maybe more at full release?) thats more than most of rpg out here who repeat 5 song in a loop... like come on

That doesn't work in cRPGs.

In an RPG, timing is much more important than, for example, in a strategy game like Crusader Kings... in a strategy game you can actually play some YouTube battle music in the background without trouble.

When my party is engaged in a dramatic battle, I don't want to have dreamy flute music playing in the background. When I'm involved in a romance, dramatic battle music in the background gets in the way...

The music has to fit the scene. You can't (or only with great difficulty) mod it.

Here Larian would have had to shell out money to write his own music like Owlcat did in his cRPGs.

Fantasy games do tend to be folk, filk or ambient music for the most part.

Eh, really only counts for CRPGs/western RPGs. JRPGs usually have either something more rock-like or something orchestral.

I like the choice of music. It's in the background and not in your face like some games where you need to turn down the music to hear what else is going on.

Owlcat has composed more than 70 of his own pieces of music for WotR and had them played by an orchestra.

There is a perfectly fitting soundtrack for almost every situation in the game, for example when certain NPCs appear in a scene, and of course there are special soundtracks for different zones and fights, especially boss fights. All this contributes immensely to a harmonious atmosphere.

[Blurp]

i love it.

[Agent Chieftain]

Yeah, it's pretty generic fantasy RPG stuff. Doesn't really stand out on it's own.

Like a lot of things about the game, it reminds me of Dragon Age Origins. Which I also don't think did anything special music wise, despite how much I absolutely love that game.
