Poll: Are you still playing with music on?

[JimMorrison]

I really love the music, but without a volume slider ingame, the whole sound aspect becomes a bit cumbersome if I am not the only one home.

My current sound setup is a 200w tuner with a couple 12" home towers, for movies and music - is there any way I can deal with the horrific sounds of 100 archers, or 30 Illithids? Even worse than elephants, though those suck on my system too, even at a sedate volume level.

Now that you mention it, I might start running it with music enabled, but other sounds off. That might be pleasant.

The music was really fine and enjoyable the first times. But for a game like this which you possibly play for years, I found just impossible to listen it over and over and over again forever.

So I use other music CDs, mainly soundtracks of movies which can be thematic. I.e. Apocalypto's soundtrack for Mictlan, Conan the Barbarian for Ulm, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon for eastern nations, and many others "neutral", Ben Hur, the trilogy of the Lord of the Rings, Pirates of the Caribbean, Beowulf... and many other movies even from decades ago which had an epic soundtrack to accompany my heroic deeds

[DigitalSin]

Yeah, the music is good and all, but after a while it starts to really grate how there's little variety. So I listen to my own music, especially battle metal, to add that little epic touch.

I love the music, and I still listen to it, when I don't have anything else to listen to (although I admit, it annoys everyone around me).

[Jazzepi]

I really like the music. Despite the fact that it's the same, I never get bored of it.

I still have it on, but I really haven't played that much lately, and it still gets repetitive. Sometimes I turn it off, sometimes not.

I think DomII music did a little better as far as longevity goes. Perhaps I should copy some files over and rename them.

I agree : I prefer music of Dom2 than Dom3, and I play with music turn off now.

Yeah, but there are some really fascinating sound effects. For example, killing amazons is very exciting. If you play it loud and kill a lot of amazons, you neighbours are just going to think you're repetitively looking at some porn/gang bang movies each evening. Don't be surprised then if they hide their children when they ear you climbing the stairs

Actually with your nickname, no surprise they hide the children... it is enough if they don't escape to Egypt

I play with the music on, but it does get a little grating after a while. I might look into some nice music for playing while playing the game soon.
