Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat The importance of music in games

Good music in a game is rare. I turn the music off in a lot of games because
1. I don't like it.
2. The game runs choppy and I have to turn it off to improve performance.
3. It gets on my nerves after awhile.
4. Rap or hip hop is not music and is grating.
5. Sometimes a game just feels better without it. The music in D2 is ok, but I usually play without it.

With some games like Minesweeper which I play often I put my own music on.

DD has nice music. Sacred has decent music which changes depending on the action.

Good music in a game should contribute to the atmosphere.

I like silence too.
