    With all respect to Hans Zimmer, I was disappointed to hear that Trevor Morris won't continue his works from the Descend and the Trespasser. However, after hearing this and the music from trailers, I'm really looking forward to hearing a different musical take on this universe.

      Welcome to the group, I was disappointed Inon Zur didn't continue composing for Inquisition, and I prefer thousands of times what he made for Origins and DA2 than what Trevor made for Inquisition .

      @@packrunnernes in the creative process many things gets changed, discarded, repurposed. I imagine this track is kinda recent, since the project was actually rebooted in 2018.
      Let’s just say that BioWare had the money to hire Zimmer but not enough to keep 50 people in the studio. I imagine that some cuts had to be done, you know, profits before people.

    Ugh this song is GOOD. Reinforces some earlier discussions that DA:D is overall going to be much darker in theme. Baldurs Gate 3 is filling the DA shaped hole in my heart currently, but after 10 years of waiting I hope this game can at the very least honor the narrative.
    I hope we can get a solid story where we finish off Solas and at least get a semblance of an “end” - I don’t think we’ll be getting another Dragon Age game in the future with how EA is turning everything into ESports mania.

    I agree with Jackdaw: nothing against Trevor Morris at all; his work on DA:I was phenomenal. But if you have a chance to get Hans Zimmer, you go for it. Gladiator, Dune, Sherlock Holmes, Interstellar, the Batman trilogy-epic soundtracks one and all. The only man I would choose above Zimmer to do any type of soundtrack is the GOAT: John Williams. Barring that, you go with a close second: Hans Zimmer.

    I don't care what anyone says I'm soooooo excited for this game!!! I understand what's going on at Bioware isn't ideal but it shouldn't' detract from how good this game can be. Also for everyone that's wishing/hoping this is the last Dragon age just bc some of the creators and older people involved are no longer there or working on the game shame on you i don't ever want this series to end, this series has pulled me out of a lot of dark places in my life and i will always be rooting for the teams that work on this title. Also that doesn't mean I'm not rooting for or supporting the older devs/workers, I'm just not going to let it sour my openness to this game being awesome and continuing on even after dread wolf!!

  • @jackaqab6700
    @jackaqab6700 Рік тому +3

    I don't think it's a theme from the beginning of the game or the menu, because no matter how you look at it, the coda is the ending of the song. A coda is a rather short ornament, a few chords, or a slightly longer fragment, sometimes maintained at an increasing tempo and with unusual dynamics. The coda, often using the main motif of the rest of the song, is intended to be its summary and closure.
    Tinfoil: I think this might be the ending theme of the last song during the last scene. This mysteriousness may mean that we only apparently "defeated" Solas in battle or "convinced" him to change his behavior (depending on his choices). This would of course mean some cliffhanger for DA5 (I want the fifth game too!)
    Another idea is that it is a fragment of the track ending a certain chapter in the game (but not the last one), in which Solas defeats us (something like Shepard's defeat in one of the ME missions)... I missed the motive of defeat in previous DA games, and this one with DAI, where theoretically we only close the Breach and theoretically only Corypheus is defeated and then reborn, they were quite "flat". It would be nice to experience a few defeats... and then turn the tables.

    Koda evokes more of a feeling of a bear, though. Is there a elven figure that took on the feel and shape of a bear quite often? I'll have to explore the lore a bit, maybe look at some of the short stories that were released in Tevinter Nights. But a bear that goes up against the wolf would be ... interesting. Edit: Dirthamen loved the bear and gave them special gifts, that unlike other beasts he allowed them to keep. He admired their steadfastness.

  •  Рік тому +7

    I don't know. I just remember dark themes like *"In Hushed Whispers", "The Wrath of Heavens" or even "The Place of all Fears"* and are too good. But what worries me most is that many productions that know they are going to fail or their product is bad, call Hans Zimmer, the man is known for "saving" many films that are bad or mediocre and the only thing salvageable is their soundtrack. My hopes for this game are already dead. I really want DA:DW to be a success but with so many delays, actors, important characters not returning, the change of composer and all the layoffs and abandonments that there have been at BioWare... I don't know. I find it very difficult for them to release a product similar to Inquisition.

    I don't know if I like it as much. It smacks of something you'd hear in a Tim Burton film imo. Solas is an ancient elf likely possessed by an ancient elven God (one of the old gods). The music of Inquisition definitely have the feel of something older than time, something mournful and lost to the ages. This leaked track, while imaginative, doesn't say "ancient elven empire". I kept expecting Jack and Sally to dance out of a paper cutout scene or something LOL 🤷🏻‍♀️

    the track name is interesting, "D'read" is obviously "dread" as in the dread wolf or solas, but koda means something complexly different. From what i have found it means "ally" or "friend" in the Lakota Sioux native American language. This could be nothing, but it could also have some story implications. perhaps solas, either willingly or reluctantly, has to ally himself with us or vice versa. And perhaps this track is the one that plays as we converse with our "dread ally".

    Despite the ups and downs of the DA games, the music is one thing that is always quite good, even when the tone changes between games. DAI's music didn't quite have the same feel, sadly, that DAO's had, but it was really good in its own way. And DA2 had all the faults, but the music at least was solid and consistent with DAO. I agree with your take on the hidden track, as well. The controlled, calm menace it radiates perfectly matches the type of antagonist that Solas is.

    2. "Koda" is the shortened form of Dakota (Native American word) meaning "ally" or "friend" ... again, possible meaning or significance?

    Not going to lie. All these silly bread crumbs Bioware is dropping don't do much to help my worry for the game. I appreciate the good vibes as always. ❤❤

    Currently unemployed ☝️ So I can’t play new games even if I wanted to 🤷 Been applying, but Biden’s America isn’t helping much. I applied for a job, will call them for a follow up in two weeks

      Man, I was in the same shoes when Turnip was the overlord. Funny how that happens. Justice, maybe?
