Dragon Age has brought me so much joy and comfort in my darkest times- i could (and might honestly) write so much about it.

That I cant reciprocate that feeling to the people that made it- i get so frustrated.

Any and all DA devs, you matter. Your work matters- they dont know all you did.

You could always just keep it in the pot and look into bonzai. Bonzai are just regular ass trees but trimmed to be smol

Yeah- it felt like a little bit of an over correction from DAIs “what if we had banter and ambient music on the same timer and its silent most of the time”

Which a lot of people hated but i liked 😔

Caitie @ghildirthalen.bsky.social · 2h

And it’s weird because its not like the mixing has like obviously bad moments- in fact some kick ass!! Like elgar’nans finale moment!!- but i think DAV just didnt let the music have a moment to breathe so we didnt notice it? If that makes sense?

I have feelings on the music- because when you extract it a lot of it slaps, but I think some of the mixing in game is questionable 😭

“Wait I thought it was Hans Zimmer??”

So zimmer runs a whole big ass company you hire to score your shit, and then it gets handed off to someone hired by that company. Maybe Zimmer checks off on it, idk, but I believe Balfe is the one who did everything🫡

PSA: Looks like DAVs composer Lorne Balfe is going to be doing an AMA on Reddit Oct 9th at 11am PST!!

A screenshot of a reddit post:

From r/dragonage
“I am Lorne Balfe, composer for Dragon Age: The Veilguard, AMA!”

“l've made music across for all kinds of visual media — from big studio blockbusters to indie films, hit video games, animated features, TV series, and documentaries. You can hear my work in Top Gun: Maverick, Mission Impossible, His Dark Materials, Wallace & Gromit and Dragon Age:
The Veilguard.”

I need to learn to not watch reviews of media I like because it always seems that major reviews absolutely pan whatever i love, and im left shocked and scandalized lmao
