"Forest Ambient" from Neverwinter Nights 2: Storm of Zehir DLC on Windows & mac OS (2006)
Composer(s): Andrew Barnabas, Paul Arnold, Kevin Chow
Album: No Official Release*
Publisher: Atari Interactive
Developer: Obsidian Entertainment
I think I've started Neverwinter Nights 2 three times at this point, potentially four times after today's article, because I really dig this mysterious forest theme. I've only made it as far as the starting tutorial village area because I've never been happy with my character, and so I've never seen what's outside of West Harbor. The only negative thing I have to say about "Forest Ambient" is that the track is rather short, lasting just over a minute, which doesn't really give enough time to get lost in the music and not realize when it repeats. The song itself also doesn't lend itself too well to being classified as ambience, despite the fact that there is no discernible melody.
That being said, I still enjoy this song in its etherealness, and it invokes an otherworldliness that you would come to expect from a dark forest in the Forgotten Realms setting.
* I say that there is no official release, but the music is available when you buy Neverwinter Nights 2 Complete over on GOG. There is a file download that includes the music, but not in a traditional album format.
