Some of the time the music doesn't sound natural or feel organic like a live orchestra does. There are a lot of synthesized choir sounds in some of the tracks which bugged me a little. I know this is a really minor complaint but I'm just wondering if anyone else felt this way about the soundtrack.
The soundtrack of this game is good, but...

I didn't feel anything particularly jarring about it, but the music cues were buggy, causing the battle music to often bleed over to places it shouldn't have, and that was pretty immersion-breaking (e.g. battle music doesn't stop after defeating the bad guys while Hawke is cradling Leandra's body).

I noticed a bit of that myself, although not during the Leandra quest. Every time I go into the Templar Hall to speak with Orsino or Meredith the battle music starts up in the corridor. The first few times I kept looking around for enemies and wondering what the hell was going on.

I just get battle music on the loading screens. I first noticed it on an area transition to an ambush, so I though it did it every time there was an ambush, but it did it plenty of times when I was just walking into a safe part of Hightown, or whatever.
As far as immersion goes, the only music I felt didn't quite fit was the Calenhad Docks music used on the Wounded Coast, but I still liked that music. For some reason it just feels too modern to me, though, oddly enough, I didn't even notice it enough in DA:O to recognize it when I first heard it in DA2. The rest of it either didn't pull me out of the experience or was appropriately noticeable (ex. tavern music, battle music).

I don't mean to nitpick, but the music played during the High Dragon battle was HORRIBLE.
It completely destroyed the mood for me. A boss battle like that needs something fast-paced and dramatic.
Not a chorus of old men shouting, "AWW AWW" in a monotone!
Anyone else bugged by that particular BGM, or am I just a curmudgeon?
EDIT: Also, is really loud and epic sounding battle-type music supposed to start playing while you are talking to Meredith's Tranquil assistant? I couldn't hear what she was saying because of it. >_<

Battle music seems to happen on loading screens whenever I leave the Gallows.
Dragon music is kind of dull, yeah.
I like some of the tracks in the Deep Roads, though.

I honestly didn't even notice the Dragon music because that battle was so tough that I wasn't focusing on anything but killing it and trying to keep Anders alive to heal everyone else.
