After watching the high-level combat reveal, I’m seriously concerned about the music in the game. The music in DA was one of the most memorable aspects of the series; it struck a perfect balance between being a game soundtrack and something more, something truly artistic.
What we heard in today’s video seemed to draw inspiration from 90s games, but it felt cheap, almost like something you’d hear in a generic internet or mobile game. It lacked uniqueness, mystery, and passion.
I don’t want to sound overly critical because the environments and many other aspects of the game look stunning, and even the music in the earlier trailers—aside from the odd companion trailer—still had a unique quality to it. But this latest reveal left me quite speechless, to be honest. What are your thoughts?

Personally, I wish that Trevor Morris was bought back. His work on DAI was amazing! The work from Zimmer and his studios has begun to sound generic, so I wasn’t too pleased.

I've never been super into Dragon Age music, but I enjoyed Trevor Morris's work and would take it any day over Zimmer's company.

When i watched the video first time, i felt the same. But after rewatching it several times, the music grew on me. I felt the same about DAVe's main theme, btw. Thought it sounded generic at first, but i really like it now.

So it could just be a knee-jerk reaction.

I was really bummed they didn't bring Trevor Morris back at first, but then I heard the secret track, 'Dread Coda,' which I think was by Zimmer, and it reassured me. But I never would have imagined the soundtrack would turn out this generic. It’s such a disappointment, especially since Trevor Morris created so many tracks that became iconic over the years. Let’s hope this is just promotional material track or something...

I think the only recent game which music i immediately fell in love with was Genshin Impact lol.

Yeah I'm still not crazy about BG3 soundtrack, except like the goblin camp track haha. I do tend to enjoy JRPG soundtracks more, off the bat, compared to their western counterparts though.

BG3 soundtrack felt pretty generic and never really grew on me. Honestly, it was one of the weaker parts of the game for me. After rewatching the DA:TV video, the music, with all those jingling and coin clinking sounds, sounded even worse—it reminded me of something you'd hear in a tycoon game.
