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

You know what they should have added in the bars in ME series? Actual vocalist singers in the bars you visit. If they would have added that, think it would have been much better like the Bard songs in DAI.

Ironically, I was super hopeful when I heard the trailer soundtrack only to be disappointed later in learning that it wasn't an original track

The soundtrack I wish we could mod in.

A link to the OST:



The sad horn music is Track 1, A Better Beginning. I think it would be better if they skipped 2.5 minutes ahead to the more energetic portion or played Heleus (the galaxy map theme) instead during game loading.

The Normandy-esque theme is Track 4, A Trail of Hope.

I do like Neutron Purge.

I think the music isn't bad, it's just that it plays so infrequently (or during combat when we're distracted) that we don't remember it.

I wish! That would be so awesome, but it wouldn't happen.

If Sam Hulick wants to come back though I wouldn't be disappointed.

ME1 and 2 had great soundtracks. ME3's soundtrack was a masterpiece. So far I'm kind of disappointed we don't have any big standout pieces besides maybe one or two in Andromeda. It was the same way with Star Wars The Force Awakens... The prior six movies had marvelous soundtracks and then TFA's.... was just about nonexistent. I don't know why this is a trend. Soundtracks are GOOD things.

Honest question. Do you think newer games have the magic of the classic OG PS1 game sound tracks? I don't think they do. Listen to the Chrono Cross OST then the ME OST. I don't feel the passion in the ME OST.

I can't add ME to that list. I can recall the soundtrack from a lot games, but I can't with ME.

Poor Music thanks to Frostbite? If there's one thing Star Wars: Battlefront actually did good it's sound effects and music. In my opinion that game alone proves that it's definitely possible to implement an almost cinematic experience into a frostbite game. I therefore think the reason why the music in Andromeda can be classified as 'meh' mostly has to do with design decisions, not with engine and processing limitations. Like most people in other threads about music have pointed out, it seems that Bioware wanted to go for more ambient sounds during exploration instead of actual background music. I don't think that was a good decision in the end but that is on a personal note.

Haven't we had like fifty threads about this already?

Also the DA:I soundtrack is pretty damn good, fight me!

yes, very boring and emotionless music
