Anyone else really dislike the music?
Most warhammer 40k games have this pseudo-gothic, gregorian chanting, horrible, depressing music. Reminds me of catholic church music. In particular the character creation was absolutely punishing to get through.

Eventually I ended up muting the music for the entire game and just play random metal/industrial albums in iTunes, or those atmospheric ambient collages people make on youtube.

Don't worry, it's just you.

It's just you, Owlcat's OSTs are bangers and so is this one.

No, OP, it's not just you. The best I can say is that it doesn't distract me too much from playing the game.

No. I love the music.

That theme especially during the battle sequences in Commorragh. The worst, imo, is Scions of Lorgar - the theme that plays when you encounter your first Chaos Astartes (Aurora) on Rykad Minoris. The metal riffs just don't work with 40k in that regard, especially when you consider that none of the other themes in the OST for this game have that.

are you kidding?.... its the very first time a Warhammer game has actually realy immersiv music. It fits the theme perfectly. Not liking this music means hating the setting.

I think we need to "deal" with this blight on the world... this so called "LazerShoes" individual. His lack of taste in music must be purged!!! :D :D

Naw each to their own. Not everyone's going to like the same soundtracks and music. :)

But OP may be alone on this one.

Music is fine, though I indeed would appreciate some more gregorian chants.
I just love religious music.

its good, Not as good as Warhammer 40,000 Mechanicus OST - Children of the Omnissiah but good and more importantly fits the setting.

This is what 40K used to sound like:

This is what awsome sounds like even today.
Love the hyper religious soundtracks on futuristic settings.

If it's not heavy metal (black, death, symphonic are also acceptable) it's bad music, period.
Finally some sanity in this thread! :steamhappy:

unlike previous two games, this one is forgettable and didn't pick my interest, but it was ok'ish. Just didn't mind it.

Sacred 2 gameplay might not had been the best, but Blind Guardian soundtrack was top notch.

Back in 00's we didn't realize how good we had it, did we?

Goodness... I still remember watching the trailer the first time.... Sacred Worlds is in my eternal BG playlist since then & shall remain
