I know there's a lot of online hate for music in Fallout 4 that will crop up when you get into battles (or battles fall upon you while you're trying to peacefully explore a desolate wasteland. I haven't found out if there's a specific time when a specific song will play, say when you're being attacked by raiders versus gunners versus super mutants versus the Children of Atom, et cetera. Maybe there isn't some cue that the game puts out and just randomly picks one of the tracks labeled fo4music_battle-05, but when "Rise and Prevail" starts playing, it will always bring a smile to my heart.
Granted, at this point, there aren't a lot of combat encounters in the game that make me anxious, except for maybe a Legendary Assaultron in close quarters. Or maybe if I'm surrounded by a lot of the Children of Atom and they're pummeling me with their gamma guns and energy guns, although I am building up my radiation resistance after completing most of the quests in Far Harbor; canonically it makes sense after how much RadAway I had Jacqueline consume throughout that DLC. But anyway, I really do love how heroic and uplifting "Rise and Prevail" gets at 0:32, and that carries me through the battle.
Unless I accidentally backpedal off the top of a building in downtown Boston or forget to check my health before running headlong into a room filled with lasers.
