As soon as I got to the noob river and heard the music, I felt like I was there. I’ve always felt like the music and sound artists in Conan Exiles don’t get the recognition they deserve. The original theme sounded like they brought Basil Poledouris back to life, and that’s why I was sad to see it replaced when Siptah came out, and happy to see it restored later.
There are so many other aspects of Conan Exiles that I love. If I had to pick one, though, it would be the quests.
Most games that have quests rely on certain conventions: you look for quest givers with exclamation marks, you talk to them and they give you the quest, you then get a quest log entry and a marker on your map and/or minimap, then you go do whatever you’re supposed to and it keeps updating the quest log and the markers, and finally you go turn it in.
In Conan Exiles, you have to immerse yourself in the world. You get clues from lore stones, journals, and NPCs, and you figure out what to do. It feels so much more rewarding.
