Not meaning to sound like I just want 2 complain but what's happened 2 the music in the orobas fjords it just seems 2 be playing the same music no matter where I go after meeting the dragon terror potrol the music on the original version made me laugh but it never kicked in nether does the cool music u got when u took ur dragon form heared it once & that was when I defended the battle tower the only music that kicks in is the music played in high hall & the harbour was this intentional or is it a bug

This is unfortunately a known issue (at least to us) on the Xbox360 which we're pretty sorry about, but couldn't avoid anymore as we were too close to mastering to do something about it. We didn't have the heart to tell Kirill (the composer) yet so I'm going to brace myself now...

It's only in the fjords - all other areas are unaffected.

yes it may only be in the fjords but thats the best part of the game, after waiting so long 2 earn ur wings only getting 2 hear the music for ur dragon form once is retarded. If that is ur way of saying we don't care about it & nothings going 2 be done about it then I can say that the likeleyhood of people actually continuing 2 play this game is slim I know that a lot of people will get frustrated & bored with the repetative music repeating over & over again no matter where u go. I know that I'm getting very close to taking it back 2 the shop & asking 4 my money back which is a shame coz I love divinity II & I was looking forward 2 FOV. If u chosse to leave the fjords the way it is & not do somthing about the loss of the music it is going 2 distroy the game expiriance for the ones who never played Ego Draconis thay won't get the full extent of the humor from the encounter with the terror potrol the ability 2 take ur dragon form will lose it's inpact & the loss of the music for dragon cliff castle is terrible I used 2 just fly 2 dragon cliff castle just 2 listen to that music because I thought it was amazing. Every time I took my dragon form & that music kicked in on Ego Draconis I was so overwhelmed with a sence of awe excitment because I was actually flying round as a dragon. Leaving it the way it is will be a terrible mistake the music is half of the gaming expiriance & loosing such brilliant pices of work is not only an insult 2 the hard work of ur composer but it's also a slap in the face 2 the people that have supported u all from the start. I would love 2 see Divinity get the credit it deserves & the thought of it being considered as successfull as oblivion is just such an amazing thought but for that 2 happen it needs the music back.

Fjords actually had my least favorite music. The second town had the best.


My Favorite RPGs: Divinity franchise, Gothic franchise (including Arcania, so I think I'm alone...), Venetica, Risen, Two Worlds II, The Witcher, Sacred franchise, Fallout franchise, Mass Effect 1, Alpha Protocol, Planescape: Torment, Drakensang, KOTOR 1 & 2, etc.

I can understand noticing yet not correcting before gold because you need to meet a deadline with the remaster and start seeing some sales numbers, but the music of this game is at least half the reason why I love it so much. I don't own the 360 version, but if I bought it and it was missing music, I know I'd enjoy the game far less.

Please, please, please fix this, if for nothing else but paying proper tribute to one of the greatest composers of our era. Kirill Pokrovsky's music is consistently eclectic yet he manages to excel no matter what sound he is creating. It doesn't matter if it's one song or a handful - if someone isn't hearing it, they are missing out, and they may never know otherwise. This makes me very sad.

Please, please fix this.

This happened sometimes on the PC version as well, in any area, and usually I could fix it by pausing/unpausing the game. It didn't always work, and when it didn't, I'd close the game and reload, because this game without its wonderful score makes it less than half the game it is with it.
