    .....?????????? Please remove the Dravanian bagpipe music from Azys Lla.

    Why is the Dravanian bagpipe music playing at the entrance of Azys Lla near the aetheryte? Bagpipes and a sci-fi alien-esque landscape don't mix.

    The music/environment mismatch is cringeworthy. Mute-worthy. And ridiculous. Keep the bagpipes for the mountainous regions where they add mystique.

    Edit: I bolded a key sentence to highlight the issue. I like the song. But this poster sums up the issue I take with it:

    and also this poster:

    In my opinion it should just play the regular Azys Lla theme there instead of any special outpost music as the the aetheryte there isn't even really in an outpost... it's just an abandoned airship dock.

    What if the Allagan Empire turns out to be a VERY Scottish/Gaelic sci fi empire? Scottish Space travellers still need their pipes.

    You don't like bagpipes? They add an aire of mystery to the landscape. More of Azys Lla will open up to us within patches, so the music may have a reason for why it's like the way it currently is.

    I do, but not for a sci-fi landscape. And I think it's more likely they were just being lazy and reusing Sanctuary music.

    No respect for other cultures, huh? I know what other group of people does that. There are about 300,000,000 of them.

    I guess I'll bold a key sentence to aid in reading comprehension to keep the discussion on track. Key sentence: "Bagpipes and a sci-fi alien-esque landscape don't mix."

    You only say that because you grew up with sci-fi having a different sound to it. If you grew up with bagpipe sci-fi this would be normal.
    Open your mind, don't keep it so narrow.
