It seems to be a little-known fact in the gaming world that a good soundtrack turns a good game into a fantastic game. Nothing heightens the mood and atmosphere of a game like epic orchestral accompaniment! Sadly most game developers seem to be overlooking sound these days and focusing only on graphics. So when I read this post from KalypsoChris in another thread, I was overjoyed:

"Legends of Pegasus features an orchestral soundtrack created by the same composer that also does the soundtrack for The Dark Eye: Demonicon. He is creating a very dynamic and versatile soundtrack that can adept to the current situation in the game in much the same way that the voice over can. And while you will be able to discern the main theme, there is a different interpretation of the soundtrack for each race. I have not heard the complete soundtrack yet but what I have heard up to now is fantastic."

Superb! Resources devoted to making a good soundtrack will have a great return on investment. This will make the game very enjoyable and get great reviews, even though few will recognize that the soundtrack playes a large role in making it so.

Epic soundtracks => drastically improved immersion. If it's actually good, which I'm sure it is

I agree. The soundtrack can be the "flap of a butterfly" that drives a game into the Hall of Fame ..... or into oblivion.
