Music to Level Up Your Day: Dragon Age: Inquisition (Tavern Songs)

I don't know much about musical theory, nor am I a musically inclined person. However, I do love to listen to video game soundtracks. They can be a powerful listening experiences in their own right, or be as evocative as the scores composed for film. Each of these posts will feature a sampling of music tracks from a single game title, or series/franchise in some rare cases. A complete list of these can be found on the Video Game Music page.

Composer: Raney Shockne

Singer: Elizaveta Khripounova

North American Release Date: November 2014

The story follows the "Inquisitor" on a journey to settle the civil unrest in the continent of Thedas and close a mysterious tear in the sky called the "Breach", which is unleashing dangerous demons upon the world.

A series of songs were written for a non-player character at a tavern in the player's base of operations. Instructed to do a "folky ballad, Celtic troubadours-style", Elizaveta received instrumentals and lyrics and recorded the songs in her bedroom with only a microphone attached to her laptop. Elizaveta described the recording process for a video game as somewhat secretive and controlled, as the clients usually know exactly what they want.

Top Best / Worst Games of 2024

Image
This is an annual list of my personal best and worst games of the year. To clarify, these are not literally the "best and worst" games of the year. They are titles I enjoyed or was let-down by based on my own preferences and expectations. Most of the "disappointing" titles are not even what I would consider bad games. They just weren't for me or were not what I was expecting. All the games on this list I have either played to completion or abandoned. I have ordered the list based on my overall enjoyment (one being the best) of games I played in 2024. Most of the games listed here will not be brand new 2024 releases. They are games I played in 2024 that were new to me.
