Am doing the newspaper questline after I reunited them all… so happy for them but fuck PLEASE can you guys learn a new song?

Or, even finish the one you’re currently playing, it’s only 30 seconds or so long and just loops forever. I’ve had to start muting the game whenever I’m near a stable, I write music for a living and this week had that sodding theme (along with the 'Yah yah!" from the conducter) stuck in my head for days, one of the worst earworms I’ve ever had. When I finally got some music done, one of the synths now strongly reminds me of 'Yah yah!", noooooo.

Would be great if we could have sliders for the music / sound FX, at this point I’d rather put a Spotify playlist of classical music on!

    That’s funny because I feel the opposite - I think the additional instruments make the song more pleasant ¯_(ツ)_/¯ I completely understand though how annoying a repetitive song in a game can be.

    My major issue is the fife player is extremely shrill. I’ve had to just leave a stable and do something else because I couldn’t take it anymore.

      Stuff like this is why I’m kinda regretting not going full-pirate mode on this game. It’s not like I haven’t paid for a console & the game itself! I almost always choose a PC version of games where possible, specifically so I can mod if I choose.

      Where is the ‘replace the Stable Trotters with dark techno’ mod?

        I had the same thought. Maybe when I do a replay, I’ll use my PC. I did that for my most recent BotW replay. You get better shadow detail, and higher resolution. 60 FPS didn’t work well because it made menu navigation so fast that the merest tap would scroll to the first or last option in a conversation. I said the wrong thing so many times and then set it back to 30 FPS.

        I feel certain there will be a mod to adjust the Stable Trotters music.

    I like that their music compliments the stable music, but I miss just hearing the pure stable music. It was such a comforting song to hear when you go to a stable after adventuring. It was probably my favorite music in BotW.

    The really weird thing about the band is, the flute, horn and violin fade away when you walk even a little ways from the bandstand, but that fucking drum can be heard a mile away! I hate that drum! It drones on and on monotonously! It ruins the stable music. I wish there were an option to just mute the drummer. Or murder him. Either would be fine.

    I would pay $20 for DLC that makes the band go away and do other things. When I replay the game, I’m not going to rescue the drummer. I don’t need level 4 armor anyway!

      Hahaha. That damn drummer! Will almost certainly do the same, two levels to unlock any effects is good enough for me. It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one being driven slowly mad by this music loop!
