My favorite are: The Twilight Strand Lioneye's Watch Forest Encampment They're all very ambient, mellow and have a lot of weight, without being theatrical. They don't make the game feel like a "sprint". It's more like the game is a long "marathon" for survival. And I feel like they fit the game really well. You know, one thing I really like about PoE compared to say D3, is that you're not some super-hero character with 'epic' gear. You're just another bloke on an island, and the ramshackle gear you wear doesn't look all that different from all the enemies you face. I like that. And I feel the music reflects this quite well. I could listen to those tracks for hours. :) IGN: Royal_Princess, Princess_of_Wraeclast, Vaal_Princess, Diamond_Princess Last edited by ac429 on Oct 4, 2012, 8:21:14 PM	Posted by ac429 on Oct 4, 2012, 8:07:58 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

The lack of theatrical bombast and pretense is what launches this soundtrack certainly within earshot of Uelmen's D1 masterpiece as far as appropriate game music goes. Warhammer 40k Inquisitor: where shotgunning is not only not nerfed, it is deeply encouraged. Dogma > Souls, but they're masterworks all. You can't go wrong. I was right about PoE2 needing to be a separate, new game. It was really obvious.	Posted by Foreverhappychan on Oct 4, 2012, 8:22:14 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post

Went on the forum just to see if anyone else was talking about the soundtrack. I really like it! I was surprised since although I did notice a few interesting pieces in-game, I didn't think they were anything stand-out. I was wrong.	Posted by Kirei on Oct 5, 2012, 12:23:10 AM Quote this Post
Is the server down for soundtracks? My download never gets out of starting... Tried both MP3 and FLAC twice.	Posted by Badfinger on Oct 5, 2012, 12:27:17 PM Quote this Post

Hey, i think D3 soundtrack did a great job of depicting lack of essence in story and visuality in D3. Soundtrack has to go toe-to-toe with whats on screen right? More seriously, from what i hear from PoE i can say it depicts the nature of "exile" but i wouldnt say its as good as both D1/D2. But i need at least hundred more hours to pass final judgement.

If so, can you PM "Thomas", our server admin, explaining your problem. He may be able to work with you to find out what is wrong. Unfortunately since it's the weekend now you might have to wait a couple days for him to respond.

It makes me sad it is gone! Seconded. I much prefered the old Fellshrine music and would like a copy as well.	Posted by unsmith on Oct 5, 2012, 4:20:21 PM Alpha Member Quote this Post
