What kind of OST style you would like for this game?

While I love the music of DAI, I still think the vocal themes of DAO / DA2 such as both Main Themes, I am the One, In Uthenera, Elven Lullaby in Leliana's Song or Mage Pride were the essence of Dragon Age for many of us. Yes, even the awkward DAO Love Theme.




Switching to a different musical style, especially when we didn't really to hear it during exploration (except in Mythal's temple), was not easy for me, which is why I struggled to connect the dots at first and to accept internally DAI is a DA game indeed. Yes, I'm very peculiar here, and musical consistence is a big deal for me.

Now, listening to the soundtrack revealed in hindsight many masterworks in DAI for me, perhaps even more so than in DAO / DA2. I would love them to pick up Tevinter-y themes as we hear them during In Hushed Whispers or fighting Cory, and elven motives from Mythal's temple. Also, Solas' themes are a must, and I don't even doubt we'll hear them again confronting him. If we ever end up in Orlais again, please bring back the baroquey pieces. And as much as I love the country, I am not a huge fan of Fereldan music, which I assume is heavier (like the Samson tavern song, which plays when we explore the Hinterlands and the Storm Coast.)



I also think it's a good opportunity to take up the Mage Pride theme, as it seems to be in Tevene / Latin-ish and sounds to fit into what we know about Tevinter culture, similar to Fenris' theme. I would love to hear Roman and even more so Byzantian themes for Tevinter for the sake of exotics.

Here are a few ideas in case we move to the North:

I'm a big fan of using singing in soundtracks. It's why I love certain tracks in the earlier da games, not just the light elfy ones but also the low deep singing in the golem/orzammmer parts in dao, and why I was so fond of tw3 sound track.

So I hope they do more vocal work on the da4 music.

Yeah, revisiting the old OST's, Zur can get some really good highs, but it's few and far between among many many humdrum lows. DA2 is much worse since it never really has much in the way of highs at all. Inquisition would definitely be my pick. I love the OST of the vanilla game and DLC's to bits, especially Dark Solas Theme.

Honestly, I wouldn't mind a drastic change in music direction for Dragon Age. While not intrusive or difficult to listen to, nothing (except for DAI main theme) is really memorable to me...well, I do remember it when it starts playing that "oh yeah, I heard this here before, but nothing makes me want to listen to it outside the game.
It has no Sin'dorei, no Nightsong, no Suicide Mission, no Cloak and Dagger, Silver for Monsters, Steel for Humans.

Now, this is just what I feel and I don't actually have suggestions what to change. First 2 I posted are from WoW and those have either too warlike or too high fantasy pieces for DA's purposes, while the other 3 are very...Witcher specific. Like they fit the game perfectly. All I can do is to hope they manage to find a music theme that fits world of Dragon Age in my mind as these songs did for their universes and places. (well, they actually did, I quite like Inquisition's main theme, but that's just one song)

I like Trevor Morris overall. But I do wish we could have some Elven, Tevene and other languages ballads again
