Why is the music in Starfield so boring?

[Avroveks]

Are there any replacement mods?

He is the 'authority' on mindless droning scores. He never had a classical music education. Could not read or write scores.

Keep talking, people ... I have my popcorn out.

... I could actually tell you a funny story about the "London Symphony Orchestra", circa mid-1970s ... when they were hired to do the "Star Wars" score. But, not here. This place is to filthy?

And somehow you think I will still take you seriously after criticizing one of the most gifted film composers ever who has 2 Golden Globes, 4 Grammies, and works with the best filmmakers that we currently have like Villeneuve and Nolan? And wrote the iconic film score for Gladiator?

Please... get the ♥♥♥♥ outta here you pseudo music expert. I can't stand people like you who pretend they understand music on a level far beyond even the greatest composers we have today.

Patience young Padawan... Soon there will be a mod that allows you to extend and replace the combat music and exploration music just like Skyrim.

And be nice no one said background music had to be memorable

Inon Zur is a master. I was a bit surprised it wasn't more evocative but then I thought more about it and believe goes with the space-theme and ability to write your own journey.

This game is just begging for music replacement mods. The generic space hero adventure music can only hold my attention for so long. It just lacks the unique oomph of, say, the Mass Effect OST for example.

Almost a year ago I made a music overlay for the Starfield trailer that I would like to see in the game. I still think it would be much more atmospheric and better than what Bethesda did

Because Jeremy soule was fired due to the me too movement

[Mightylink]

We lost Jeremy Soule and Bethesda decided to let BG3 have all the good tracks this year.

I know the very first mod I'm going to make for Elder Scrolls 6 is to play all the Morrowind/Oblivion/Skyrim music.

Dude agreed. We were spoiled by the music in the previous titles. Oblivion tracks play in my head.

You know who would've been solid. Frank Klepacki and he needs employment after the death of C&C

Most of the music is bland and forgettable. There is almost no difference with it turned on and off and 80% of this game's music is just bland ambience that a lot of times does not even fit with the surroundings where it is being played. It does not add anything.

You could make so many cool themes and tunes and what not based on all the different types of sci-fi vibes you have in this game and they just don't do anything with it. Cyberpunk like Neon city? Bland ambience. Fancy New Atlantis Mass effect style city? Bland ambience. Mandalorian like Akila ranger town? Bland ambience. Like come on man it's so lazy imo.

Inon Zur is just not good composer for open world games like this. Same ♥♥♥♥ with Fallout 4, don't remember anything noteworthy from that OST.

It needs to create atmosphere while not taking away your attention from the game. It does that very well imo

agreed. its one of the few games i didnt lower the music volume to zero after a couple hours

They pissed off Mike Gordon as well. Seems like a habit.

this is very funny, but I made a mod for music and the nexus deleted it (there was music from Elder Scrolls)
