Hymn of The New West - Classic Fallout Music Rescore

Features:

Lore Friendly: Hymn of The New West is a complete music rescore that brings the musical atmosphere of classic Fallout into New Vegas and all of its DLCs, seamlessly and tastefully.

A Darker New West: Hymn makes full use of all classic Fallout soundtracks, including Nevada and Sonora, two faithful Fallout 2 total conversion mods. The music of the two games, composed by the talented Nobody's Nail Machine, is of very high quality and perfectly encapsulates the essence of a bleak and barren wasteland. All of this shifts the tone of New Vegas closer back to that of classic Fallouts. More post-apocalyptic and less post-post-apocalyptic.

Show, Don't Tell: Hymn relies on the use of more subtle, ambient tracks, to let the mood and tension build up organically. It replaces all music in New Vegas that doesn't fit in Fallout, which include:

• []Generic & Uninspiring - Tracks that sound like they can easily fit in any non-Fallout game. This includes all of the military tracks from both NV and FO3.

  []Shallow & Pretentious - Any "epic", grandiose music that tries to artificially create a sense of high stakes and excitement. All combat music, phony drum rolls, etc. The death sound effect is disabled and the level up sound effect is replaced by the more low key one from FO1/2.

  []Eardrum Breakers - The random, sudden loud string instrument playing and high pitch noise blasting your ears.

  []Bad Music - Just straight up bad music... like Hoover Dam.

  Quality Over Quantity: Rather than diluting the experience by adding even more bloat to existing music sets just for the sake of it, Hymn does the opposite. It replaces the randomness and repetitiveness with actual variety and purpose. Every change is deliberate and intentional. Every track is hand picked and hand placed. Every single area is play tested. It is consistently high quality throughout the entire game.

  Storytelling Through Music: The music placement takes into account just about every factor imaginable, from the overall sound, to the characters and dialogue, to the geography and even the history of the location, etc, to ensure that the right story is told every time. Moreover, there are scripted event-based music changes at certain key story moments, similar to the intro scene in Zion (modified in Hymn), to further enhance the immersive gameplay.

  Logic And Consistency: Odd, disjointed music choices are corrected (ie. the disconnect between Red Rock Canyon and the Drug Lab). Many interior areas now retain their exterior music, when appropriate, for a more interconnected feel. Existing music markers are adjusted to have better coverage. A number of new ones are added as well to add more variety and character to certain areas that previously had
