I have to say that I'm really enjoying the dynamic music in this game. It makes me wish that it wasn't carried out in a desert setting, because I get the feeling that these guys could have made the vault experience extraordinary. This has proven so far to be a most definitely flawed, but acceptable follow-up/spin-off of Fallout. It felt good before I heard the music, even though the knowledge and visual reminder that its built off of a Bethesda abomination hurts it a bit (honestly the most immersion/Fallouty-breaking element are the character models, animations and interactions).īut it feels really good after hearing those tracks and feeling like I was trying to SURVIVE. I now actually feel like I'm playing a Fallout game.
It's amazing what a soundtrack (or a bite of nostalgia that actually feels legitimate) can do for your feelings and enjoyment of a game. Having that playing in the background as I lurked in a dark dilapidated building was an INCREDIBLE feeling. I've been enjoying New Vegas a lot so far, and it wasn't until I reached Primm that I noticed some of the original Fallout music.
