Who had the best theme?

Post » Thu Feb 25, 2016 6:05 am

Fallout 4 had some of the best ambient themes in the series in my opinion (and some of the best music in general). My favorites are the factional ones, so who had the best? (Note: This isn't a faction versus thread, this is just about the music. So leave that right out).



My personal favorite is The Institute, just because their theme oozes science and discovery and it reminds me of old PBS educational documentaries or something. Its a perfect fit for them and the environment you find yourself in once you get to The Institute.



But I also enjoy The Railroad's theme. Very nice spy theme to it. If I didn't know the game it came from, I'd swear it was 007 for the N64.



Frankly I'm not sure what The Minutemen's "theme" is considered, but I put my best guess in the poll (Liberty Lives).



The Brotherhood's is good, but doesn't stand out as much IMO. Just because its a theme we've heard before.



Any other ambient songs you really enjoy in the game?

A really tough decision as all four capture the mood of their respective factions very well. I gave my vote to 'Liberty Lives'. I only wish playing the MM faction did the song justice.

I feel like a spy every time I enter Railroad HQ. I love spies. I love that theme. Railroad rules, Institute drools!

Railroad. I played so little attention to each faction I never noticed these songs.

Railroad and Institute themes are tied, but the Minutemen theme is under-appreciated even if it isn't as good as the other two.

Definitely the Institute theme. I'd also like to mention the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLU-NUsHsag that can start to play at the end of the game with the Institute that is just as good. Besides that, the Railroad theme follows just behind it.



Don't care much about the Brotherhood one as I find it sounds too similar to the likes of what you've already heard in Fallout 3 and New Vegas. You hear it so much in those games that hearing something similar in Fallout 4 it already feels just as tiring to listen to. Minutemen one got tiring to hear as well for me, though I suppose hearing it so much while building in Sanctuary can do that.

I gotta go with the Railroad theme. I feel it's an awesome theme and fits the faction as a spy haven for underground team of misfits looking out for each other.
