I'm okay with that.

Zur did an excellent work in IWD and other titles, but his soundtrack for the DA series is rather underwhelming.

Pretty much this. IWD really had excellent music all around but the music in DA has been a bit underwhelming so far.

[Celtic man51]

eh.. I thought the music was decent in DA:O and decent in DA2. Could be a lot better and more medieval sounding. That said the darkspawn theme in DA:O was amazing.

[Orian Tabris]

It's Inon Zur or nothing, people! We need him! If Inon Zur doesn't compose a video game's music, then what the point of even having VG music??? You might as well have none!

Anyone that denies this is in self-denial!

By the way, I wouldn't trust "information" from someone as uncreditable as that chick. It looks like purely a fan's speculation on music, with no physical evidence actually provided. So I wouldn't take that as fact, especially if it hasn't been confirmed. Besides, BioWare is keeping everything underwraps until they're ready.

Any David Gaider will tell you not to make assumptions, because it won't be exactly what you think.

How reliable is that source?

Being familiar with her videos, I would say pretty reliable. She went to a game composers meet and greet interview thing at a Microsoft store and asked Inon Zur directly if he would be doing the music for DA3. He said no. So unless he lied right to her face -- from other things she has said about him, I don't find this likely -- then it's probably accurate.

As with most second hand information though, I always have a small doubt until official information is released. But again, I think it's probably true.

There is some other VAGUE DA3 music info in the video, so I do suggest just going to about 13:50 and watching that segment where she talks about it.

Not too sad DA's music was never a strong point. Hopefully Jesper Kyd or Lorne Balfe do a few tracks.

[Renmiri1]

He was great, I hope he stays on

[LolaLei]

MD is pretty accurate with her info, plus I doubt Ion Zur would lie about it.

[Ilidan_DA]

Meh ;(

[Chiramu]

I wonder if they can get Russell Brower to do the music , he does fantastic work.

[vanom66]

Good.

[GenericEnemy]

if they had the Hans Zimmer+Lisa Gerrard combo that did Gladiator's soundtrack i think i would actually die.

[MilaBanilla]

I hope they bring back Aubrey Ashburn. Her voice is soo beautiful and it fits with the DA universe IMO.

Indeed, it just wouldn't be the same loading up the game without hearing that haunting voice of hers in the main menu...

[CrazyRah]

I'm alright with this. Nothing against Inon but i got a hard time remembering any memorable tracks from either DA game. The main theme in DAO and the camp theme is probably the ones i actually remember.

[SeismicGravy]

As long as they don't replace him with Danny Elfman.

[The_11thDoctor]

I still listen to both osts till this day... I hope he returns, cause he does amazing work and it wont be the same without him. It truely will be the dark ages

[TheInquisitor]

I hope by 'new direction' they are going for more melodic atmospheric tracks with some emotional pieces for various scenes.

If I hear distortion guitar or dubstep I'm going to be pissed!

Should still keep it's fantasy soundtrack roots but with more variety.

Should get Marc Streitenfeld to compose now, he's pretty awesome making the Robin
Hood 2010 OST, The Grey OST, American Gangster and Prometheus OSTs

I think they have already picked a composer. But Marc would be a cool choice.

I didn't like Zur's work so I'm not that sad.

[Sith Grey Warden]

I really liked the DAO music, but I'm not upset about this. I'm sure whoever they picked will do a fine job.

"Fan claims she talked to a composer, retells conversation from memory without notes"

Could be true, but I'll wait for some other confirmation.

"Bigger composer" sounds like what they did with ME3. Get a bunch of composers together to create the entire score, then have 1 big name like Clint Mansell work on 1 or 2 songs and give him the top billing.

I really hope they are not blowing their wad with DA3 pre-prod.

I know it needs to be big, but too big can kill it.

[devSin]

If that pans out like I fear it would, they'd have some B-list composer (or group of composers) handle the score and then blow the rest of their money on a Hans Zimmer or Howard Shore or whoever to compose the title track.

It will give them a big name to help sell the game, and then they can get the actual music used throughout the game on the cheap (vs. having an established, if not universally lauded composer craft the entire score as a single thematic whole). You already bought the game and opened the packaging, so why should they care what the music sounds like at that point.

Shades of Clint Mansell all over again (though his single composition was simply brilliant, and BioWare is lucky to have benefited from his talent), used as a marketing trick for a game that needed a much stronger, much more defined score. I hope the DA team is better than this and/or has more control over it.
