Let's face it, Andromeda's music was lacking

There was music?

Mostly I remember the club music from the OT being annoying.

Tho I agree there aren't really any memorable tracks from this game where as there are tonns from the OT. The sound design in Andromeda is amazing tho so it kinda doesn't matter to me as the game is immersive enough soundwise.

I don't think you could call it terrible.

It wasn't distracting, it never detracted from a scene or prevented me from hearing something important. It never took me out of the mood. Most of the time you don't even notice it.

That's not bad music, that's just subdued music. The music was there to fill it's purpose and it did. Unlike the trilogy it was never centre-stage, never the focus. In Afterlife, Virmire and throughout ME2 the music is centre stage, loud and designed to set the atmosphere. In Andromeda it's simply in the background. It's not good by any stretch, but I can't call it bad when it was never a focus and I can't even remember it. If it was terrible I'm sure I would remember it.

It's ok but it doesn't come close to the trilogy.

You, sir, are the king of hyperbole. The music definitely is not "terrible." Otherwise, I would have turned it off completely. I'd definitely say it was "forgettable." The Pathfinder theme was essentially a copy/paste of the Inquisitor theme. The rest of the soundtrack was largely white noise. There was nothing spectacular about it. I also wouldn't say it was horrible either. It was just there. It was serviceable.

Am I disappointed? Of course. Music is one of the most important aspects for any form of entertainment. However, what we received wasn't bad. It just wasn't iconic or great like we have been spoiled with in the original trilogy.

That's certainly an area I'd like to see improved upon in MEA 2. But, it definitely wasn't a deal breaker or one of the major faults of the game.

I changed my words and dumped the poll, to better reflect what I meant. Yes, the music was forgettable and barely even there. That was my point.

I wouldn't call it terrible, but overall it isn't very memorable either. I'd compare it to DA:O's soundtrack, which I also found very underwhelming.

The first three games had a lot of tracks that would be worth listening to outside the games, and I'm not really sure I'd say the same is true with Andromeda, other than maybe one or two tracks. I voted "okay."

Bring back Sam Hulick!

The main issue I have with ME:A's soundtrack however is just that you almost never hear it. Bioware has opted for very little music with both of their open world games, and just like DA:I, you hardly ever hear the soundtrack in ME:A. Instead ambient noise in the open world is prioritized. I do not like that approach at all, as no matter how interesting the sound effects, they stop being so after the first five minutes of hearing them. It tends to make exploration feel more like a drag than it should.

Music > ambient sound effects

I've enjoyed TW3's open world more than both DA:I and ME:A's versions of it, and I think part of that was that in TW3 you have an excellent soundtrack playing throughout.

I loved DAO's soundtrack compared to the generic "epic" soundtrack of DAI. That being said, I do agree with you in regards to The Witcher 3. Especially with Skellige's main theme playing while exploring the islands, the music in that game was phenomenal. We could even use Skyrim as an example for an absolutely fantastic soundtrack. Jeremy Soule is a god among video game composers and one of the best things about that game, by far, is its iconic music. DAI and MEA's soundtracks aren't even on the same level as The Witcher 3 or Skyrim.

Didnt really notice any music at all, the original trilogy had great sweeping scores and all that really enhanced the mood. MEA is just...barely even there.

Echoing a lot of others: it's not terrible just not all that memorable.

I don't know if it was just a bug or poorly placed music, but sometimes crew conversations had slightly ominous ambient music instead of just a general ship theme or any personal theme associated with the character I was talking to.

I did like the combat music, but it was definitely different from the OT. That might have been a deliberate choice on their part to not sound too similar, but generally you'd think you want to keep the same tone of music for a sense of cohesion (Like how most Star Wars or Star Trek music seems to all belong to the same universe with just little differences sprinkled about) Here it felt like the soundtrack belonged to something closer to a modern military shooter rather than the 80s sci-fi synth of the OT.

The original trilogy was for the most part amazing at knowing the right musical cues and how to drive the action of a scene forward with the music/visuals. Here...eh not so much.

I enjoyed the music. Sure it wasn't a constant loop but certain parts of the storyline e.g. the final boss fight was great. (The fight itself was lackluster) but I have no qualms about the soundtrack at all.
