Synth music style invented around 30 years ago on technology that didn’t exist a generation ago: "This sounds old-fashioned, the developers need to evolve."
Orchestral music played on instruments that have existed for thousands of years, in a style that’s existed for hundreds: “Finally, a modern sounding ost!”
A game isnt truly modern unless the soundtrack is provided by a live troubador who sings tales of your prowess in realtime
Oh my god imagine a game where the entire soundtrack is provided by a bard that follows you on your adventures
The closest example of that I can think of is Deekin chanting his “doom doom doom, doomydoomdoom” song in a Neverwinter Nights expansion.
