Dragoncat Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 So I just finished that chapter for the second time. To refresh your memory, it's the one right after Emmeryn dies, where you face the pacifist Plegian general Mustafa. The music is a perfect mixture of sadness and hope, really fits the moment. All of the other non event songs can be chosen to play during risen skirmishes once theyre unlocked, but as far as I know, this one only plays at that part. Vote in the poll and discuss.

Czar_Yoshi Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Where else would you even play it? Awakening doesn't give you many reasons to be sad while your units are beheading mooks. Maybe Cht.18 if it had a better buildup, but I think it's fine being exclusive to Cht.10. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 This song is too good to play anywhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jedi Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I think if you played the song elsewhere, it would decrease the moments value. Her gaiden already does but hush Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 Yeah I pretty much agree with you guys. Maybe if we're talking storywise, it's fine where it is, but if somebody wants to hear it during a risen skirmish, why not? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misses Elise-chan! Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 If I want to ruin the moments value thats my choice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Book of Ereshkigal Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I don't really care either way, but giving the player the choice to listen to whatever they want is also fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shadowofchaos Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 ...you could just turn down the volume on the options menu and play it on your computer? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vbu_ydCTWxA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delphi Sage Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 I would prefer a song that doesn't have that crummy riff every song in this game has. And also for me to actually give a damn about Emmeryn and Mustafa other than "Obligatory Nyna and Camus archetypes". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mustafa says his wife and kid were killed by Gangrel...so he was taken at one point. Even so, I can't see him and Emmeryn together. The personalities mix well, but meh.

NinjaMonkey Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 (edited) I don't particularly care for that piece of music, but I do think that people should have had the option to play it whenever they want to. it's the one right after Emmeryn dies, where you face the pacifist Plegian general Mustafa. If he's a pacifist, why did he join the Plegian army in the first place? Edited March 13, 2015 by NinjaMonkey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragoncat Posted March 13, 2015 Author Share Posted March 13, 2015 If he's a pacifist, why did he join the Plegian army in the first place? Maybe the point of Gangrel killing his wife and kid was to force him to? Or maybe he didn't used to be, but after experiencing a lot of death and suffering, changed his views?

Iirc he's a Zerker so he could have loved battle in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NinjaMonkey Posted March 13, 2015 Share Posted March 13, 2015 Or maybe he didn't used to be, but after experiencing a lot of death and suffering, changed his views? Thing is, he will attack one of your units if you put them directly in front of him. So he can't be that much of a pacifist. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Czar_Yoshi Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 And also for me to actually give a damn about Emmeryn and Mustafa other than "Obligatory Nyna and Camus archetypes". The only thing Emmery and Nyna have in common is being the rulers of the main kingdom on the continent. I wouldn't lump them in the same archetype at all.

Rxmonste Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 There's nothing to be sad about in skirmishes and DLC maps so it would feel out of place, really. As for other chapters in the game, same thing. Except for "Sibling Blades" but I still don't see it playing there. Its exclusivity to "Renewal" is what made it feel unique.

HF Makalov Fanboy Kai Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 there's nothing to be sad about because she never dies and instead becomes creepy waifu bait. then again thats actually kinda sad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Czar_Yoshi Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 then again thats actually kinda sad Sadly, this isn't the only place where Awakening does meta-double subversions like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Florete Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 Emmeryn does die, though. As do Gangrel, Walhart, Yen'fay, and Aversa. The Paralogues are all just "what if?" scenarios not apart of the story canon. That's what I tell myself, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"What if" said person had a child or what if Donnel leveled up while fighting off bandits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elwind Posted March 14, 2015 Share Posted March 14, 2015 He specifically states Gengrel was holding his wife and kids hostage, and that is the only reason he was there. His soldiers stay out of pure devotion to him. Mustafa: "I cannot defy the king, lad. I know him well. He would murder my wife and child to set an example. I will accept the blame for your actions today. Now go!" Sounds more like those who don't obey orders get their families murdered to me.
