Ultima Thule BGM

[kayll]

Please do not "fix" this. We permanently brought life back to the edge of the universe and the song reflects that monumental change. It would be absurd to revert the song to its incomplete version - and yes, that's exactly what it is. The chilling reverb is symbolic of the dead and forgotten wasteland of Ultima Thule while the finished song represents the everlasting resurrection of the zone through the dynamis of the scions. Asking for this to be fixed is like asking for the Doman Enclave to visually revert to its original pre-developed state because you personally preferred the rundown houses for some reason. It is OK for our actions to have permanent, visible and in this case audible reflections on the game's environments.

No one ever implied it was a "fix".
The song itself is fine, and what it represents is also fine.
But it makes a terrible background music, and makes you get sick of the song.
I think it'd be fine if it didn't include the vocals personallly, a good compromise could be made of playing the original song at night, and Close in the Distance during day like others have suggested.

But mainly I just miss Echoes in the Distance.
I've been waiting for an orchestration roll of the song since I first entered the zone, I'm just trying to make some noise in hopes it is actually implemented since I feel once DT releases the chances of it actually happening will probably be near zero.

You can't dismiss someone's objection with "no one ever implied it was a 'fix'" while also saying "it's terrible background music" and then "change it". You're straight up saying that it should be changed (your compromise IS a change) and Caro is saying "no, it's fine" and I agree with her.

She still has a point. The current BGM for Ultima Thule and the lyrics is felt the strongest when it plays for the first time after you get to a certain point in the MSQ. It loses its luster a bit when you zone into UT and it just plays all the time afterwards. I think my previous suggestion with the BGM changing when you're traversing certain parts of the map would be good here, and this version plays only when hovering around the ascension ramps leading up to the Dead Sun.

Ok, but... where/when is it stated that we've actually brought anything back to life? Having just completed that bit of MSQ, I still sorta treat the whole zone/inhabitants as echoes of the dead. I get that, thematically, at least with Meteion, that's essentially the outcome, but the zone remains a recreation, not so much a new chance at life.

I won't spoil anything for you, but I suggest doing the Omnicron tribal quests.
