The music is quite fitting for this trailer, it didnt work as well in other trailers. Its quite funny because its not the typical rpg music either.

As if I wasn't hyped enough, god I can't wait for this game.


Of course the combat won't be that epic, but the game itself looks really good.

Nicely put together trailer, one of the better ones this year, although I think CoJ: BiB had the best so far, truly cinematic in that one

They could at least use the music off of one of his good albums, he even released a new one this week. Theres plenty of heavy tracks by Manson but they insist of using 'the new shit' which is...well, shit.

That trailer had me right up to the part where Marylin Manson began to play. Thats the second trailer they used it.

I swear to fucking god, if  this plays at all durring gameplay.... well, I'll use a custom soundtrack I guess.

I'm really looking forward to the game.  However, that style of music should not feature in anything other than trailers.  And even then...

I liked the music, in a weird way.  Remember, kids, the 300 soundtrack wasn't all epic orchestra.

Here comes the bitching about the music choice again...

These trailers are making me a bit pumped for the game, but I need to see some gameplay.

Every trailer I see makes me want this game even more. And who the fuck cares about the music choice unless it's in the final product? Definitely pre-ordering the most expensive version I can find.

As far as the music goes, they didn't even use the Manson song for more than 10-15 seconds. Yeah, the guy's music sucks but it still fit.

The music at the intro was awesome though.

Are you generally against metal or is it just that you don't like it here? Cause if you just dont like hardcore metal then well... You're not really who this is aimed towards lol xD

Join us. hahahahahahahahahaha  xD

Awesome. And as much as I hate Manson, the bit of his music they used fit the tone at the very least.
Trailer was kick fuckin ass. This is how HIGH fantasy is supposed to be. Mixed with metal and violence and sex and drugs. I mean, I'm not really a huge fan of massive amounts of any of those things (except metal of course) but this is what the high fantasy genre is known for. If you don't like it... Then too bad. And also, its a TRAILER. Just because IT has music like this, doesn't mean the game will be filled with it. We already know that BioWare has plenty of skill when it comes to providing fans with great music. And we've already HEARD music from the actual game. Don't bitch about music in the trailers.

When this game first started getting hyped, Bioware felt lofty enough to say that this game was going to be the spiritual successor to Baldur's Gate.  The fact that they decided to commit to what seems like a classic, dark  fantasy setting and gameplay based on party tactics is just awesome and makes me think they can pull it off.

That being said, words cannot describe just how stupid it is to have Maralyn Manson music in the trailer.  It's as if the trailer is just not meant to be taken seriously, like it's a joke.  I imagine that the developers are not necessarily the ones who design the trailer, but come on.

This and ME2, can't wait.

The music is ok.  I think Metaltica "For Whom The Bell Tolls" would have been better but whatever.

I'm kinda wishing BioWare had announced this game as an MMO and given me a new single player KOTOR in exchange.

Did they not hear everyone making fun of the stupid Marilyn Manson music last time?  God whoever puts the music in these trailers has no taste.  At least use good metal.

@MordeaniisChaos: High Fantasy is not what you think it is if you think it needs metal, sex, and drugs. The Witcher is a perfect example of great Low Fantasy. It has sex, drugs, and metal, but it isn't High Fantasy.

Manson doesn't suck really, if you actually listen to his music you'll find that but as with most music there has to be one or two tracks on an album that are more generic to extend to more than the core audience. Manson knows this but it's annoying to here the same few songs played, especially those fucking covers. I understand what bioware are trying to do in breaking the orchestral stereotype for fantasy games but it's done because it works, to be honest more power to them but do some more research and dig for more fitting stuff be it Manson or otherwise.

Man.  Some of you are hard to please.


I bet if you couldn't put a name to that music, you wouldn't bitch, and you... god forbid, might actually admit that that trailer was pretty good.

And... it's a trailer. It doesn't have to tell you anything about the game. A lot don't. A lot of Bioware's don't. I don't know what some of you people want, but apparently someone is dangling it in your face, and nothing else is good enough.


I likened it to KUF, which is a good thing in my books. Always loved fantasy combined with gritty metal.

I love how the CG trailers for RPG's are epic, badass, God of War-esque hype machines. It's just too bad the gameplay isn't anything close to epic, badass or God of War-esque.

More like: ATTACK 1-2-3 ATTACK 1-2-3 ATTACK

Snoozefest.

Eh.... of all the metal out there that really could fit a game like this, why choose something so famous. It took me right out of the video.
