Soundtrack question for game owners
October 20th, 2006, 17:33
Hi:
While I'm 'patiently' waiting for the Aspyr release, I have a question. I have downloaded all of the soundtrack samples that have been made available, and also have the Gothic 2 soundtrack clips that were released a while back. One of my favorite things in Gothic 2 was the great music that felt atmospheric yet 'casual' all at once. I've heard all of the big sweeping themes, I was wondering if there is simple yet charming KaiRo stuff to fill in the open spaces?

I have to admit that I'm more or less blown away by the quality of the soundtrack for Gothic 3. I'm not really sure what you're suggesting but I rate Rosenkrantz's soundtrack to be fully comparable to work by Jeremy Soule.
The sweeping themes are mostly for the more or less "peaceful" environments/daylight whereas caves or the dark forrest or the middle of the night tends to be a lot softer/"simpler".
If I completely misunderstood what you meant then at least let me express how pleased I am with the soundtrack of Gothic 3. To me a good soundtrack makes a game a lot more engaging … and I'm right at the edge of my seat when I play

"Chess in particular had always annoyed him. It was the dumb way the pawns went off and slaughtered their fellow pawns while the kings lounged about doing nothing that always got to him; if only the pawns united, maybe talked the rooks around, the whole board could've been a republic in a dozen moves." - Commander Vimes in Thud! by Terry Pratchett

I love Jeremy Soule's stuff … he's my fave, but when you're wandering around in G2 there are a number of non-symphonic themes - guitar bits, flute, etc - that are just wonderful.

"guitar bits, flute, etc - that are just wonderful."
There are some but not enough, there can never be enough of those, imo.
Sound track is very good, the one song I really wanted more of was the closing video in G2 very short and powerful, while he does expand on it some it defianlty has room for much more expansion.
Overall I would give most of the sound tracks at least a 90 score.
