Dear EA/Bioware...

Mon Nov 9, 2009, 2:31 PM
Love what you've done with Dragon Age. Despite the occasional game breaking bug that requires program restart to fix.

But I'm sure you've heard that from more or less everyone so instead I want to switch your attention to something else. The music. Well specifically the advertisement that 30 Seconds from Mars is doing a song for the game.

This I see is a missed opportunity of grand proportions. Instead of a band that sounds like its composed of a bunch of whiney teenagers (which I assume it is) that possesses a singer with any lack of singing voice at all, and is frankly beaten by the ending song from Mass Effect ([link]). Not to mention the frankly odd selection of Marilyn Manson for the trailers, a thing that most definitely was a post production selection as there is scarce any evidence of it appearing anywhere else but in the trailers.
No, what you instead should've done is to look at a music genre that was almost made for this purpose. Namely the Fantasy Metal genre.

Think about it. It's filled with just the right things. Swords! Sorcery! Dragons! Epic dragon slaying! Slaying the forces of darkness and saving the day! All integral parts of Dragon Age.
So why instead chose something as... dreadfully horrible as 30 Seconds from Mars when you have a whole genre of music to pick and chose from?
