Soundtrack worth it?

[craig234]

Standard context for this question: I sort of like the idea of supporting the good music in games, but don't really find getting the soundtrack much use, it's not like I sit and play it outside the game. But just looking for feedback how much the soundtrack is 'worth it' for this game?

It's good music, imo. It binds very well with the game, its theme and atmosphere. Some pieces can even be listened to outside the game, but it's game music, mind you, so it's supposed to be ambient/background/repetitive...

Also, do check the composer's site for the same product: http://austinwintory.bandcamp.com/album/the-banner-saga

Finally, this OST might eventually show up in one of those Humble-Bundles, so you can keep an eye out for that too.

The soundtrack is *amazing* and very beautiful!

Indeed :)

How do you access the soundtrack?! I've spent like an hour trying to find the file or some way to play it, and have absolutely failed in my quest.

Yes, a lot of people have problem locating that. @Myll_Erik, I think you guys should better clarify that somewhere, perhaps in the DLC store-page?

So, the location on windows systems is something like this:

...\SteamLibrary\steamapps\common\tbs\assets\saga1\ost

wher the "..." part is typically something like C: or C:\Games etc.

The soundtrack is one of the strongest assets of this game - if Icelandinc style folk music is your cup of tea, that is.
I will use it as support for our next P&P session. ;-)

It is a very nice soundtrack. It is also available separately in other online stores. Just try a search and you should find it.

Soundtracks like this are great for playing role-playing boardgames to!

The soundtrack is very, very worth it.
It's a gem I say.
