 The music in DA1 was amazing.  I loved it.  I didn't preorder it or get the collector edition so I didn't get the soundtrack, but it was great.

Then DA2 came out, and the music was well done as well.  And luckily for me I preordered and got the soundtrack for free with the bonus tracks.  But the best part of this soundtrack..and I mean my personal ABSOLUTE favorite...is the romance theme and the extended version bonus track "Destiny of Love."  I just...holy crap.   I've played the song more than 400 times in iTunes from having it on repeat so much.  

With that said, I can't see anyone else composing the DA3 soundtrack.  Maybe helping Inon Zur compose some of the songs, but if he isn't the main composer or the only composer I would be really upset.  If he can come up with something as genius as the romance theme he made for DA2, just imagine what the romance theme for DA3 will be...

Thoughts?  Anyone else feel the same as I do?

Totally agree.
Although I'd still like to see soundtracks on CD rather than downloadable.

[Tommyspa]

I certainly hope he comes back. Along with Aubrey Ashburn and Olivia Orr for vocals.

As long as we get more music and songs like "Rogue Heart" and the menu theme. THATS what DA music is.

I hate the hanged man theme soooooo much.

As long as we get the music silimar to that of Origins and not the rushed DA2 soundtrack (which had an awful taste for me as a whole, and the music was also more bland), I'm looking forward to it so much.

DA2 music wasn't that impressive in my opinion. I can't remember any of the music. Inon Zur said the music was rushed which would explain why the music didn't feel as epic as Origins music.

Origins on the other hand had amazing music. The theme is amazing, Orzarmmar's music is amazing, tavern music is amazing, battle music (all of them) is amazing, world map music is amazing, Denerim music is amazing and the dungeon music is amazing. If he comes back then I hope Bioware allow him more time to compose more epic music matching Origins quality.

I agree 100%

[Atakuma]

I hope not. I've always found his music boring.

[eroeru]

Hmm... I think Bioware is getting another composer. Sad really.

Yoko Shimomura or Nobuo Uematsu please.

Or a collaboration between Inon Zur and those two.

I thought the Qunari related ones and Fenris' theme -- think it was called Mage Pride -- were great. But DAII also reused some of DAO's soundtracks as well.

Which is to be expected really, but I think they reused a significant amount due to the time constraints that we all know about instead of just reusing a few here and there.

Oh? Is this psychic intuition? Don't get me all excited.

Really bad deduction from really mixed up info. So at the moment it's more like intuition, yes.

Hope it isn't true though.

I wasn't too impressed with his DAO work and the DA2 soundtrack was even worse, typical bland fantasy music, nothing outstanding or memorable - I wouldn't mind if BW used a different composer for DA3, the worst that could happen is that we get more stereotypical high fantasy music.

I can still remember most of the Baldur's Gate II and Icewind Dale tracks, but I've forgotten the entire DAO & DA2 soundtrack.

[lokisjoke13]

Origins is my favorite game soundtrack. I definitely vote Zur returning

[Rorschachinstein]

Hawke's family theme was pretty great.

IMO, IWD2 is prob Inon Zur's pinnacle sofar. But DA:O soundtrack is good and very solid. The thing is though, that he put the effort into the backing tracks rather than any theme. Prob a Bioware decision, lowering the costs. At this time EA were already owning Bioware so the really bad management decisions would already have began.

It's the themes one remembers from IWD2. Background tracks to fighting etc are repetive and never amounts to much of a musical experience.

I don't think Inon Zur felt either inspired nor inclined to waste his best ideas on DA2. He prob wasn't paid for spending much time. I also believe that the kind of music is some kind of collaboration with the DA2 creative team. Meaning they will tell the composer what kind of music they want, much like a movie director. And when you then consider the outright awful and disgusting taste that permeates DA2, well then it's strange they even chose Inon Zur.

And let's not forget about Jeremy Soule. (Though I'd also hate to see him involved in some nauseating EA JRPG project).

I loved the trailer music to DA:2 and thought it was pretty epic. Its a shame they didn't use it more.

I liked the background music in the Hanged Man.

But that said, Origins had the BETTER soundtrack. DA:2's music was too rushed. It did not move me at all.

[Halberd96]

He probably will be the composer for DA 3's soundtrack but I guess we don't know that for certain yet.

I'm sure though that no matter what DA 3 will have a good composer. I wonder what it would be like if Mark Morgan did the soundtrack for DA actually...

He is extremely talented, if I remember correctly he did Planescape: Torment's soundtrack in three weeks or less and he didn't have access to a lot of things that soundtrack composers have now, he also has experience with music in t.v shows which is a lot more time based just like video game cinematics are like now days (as compared to the old Rpgs like Planescape Torment.)

I liked the battle music that played in the Blooming Rose. Shame you can only hear it if you do the Amaranthine Conspirators quest.

I liked the soundtracks from both games. Orzammar and Hawke theme are the best IMO.
