A surface level analysis of the lore in the Risk of Rain 1.0 update [Risk of Rain 2 lore]
1.0 had its bags full of content and it is time to dissect it... almost a month after release. Life's been keeping me busy!
We get some closure on the sibling drama regarding Providence and see how the survivors actually ended up here, although how they did left
me scratching my head. Can you even call the cast "survivors" at this point?
Sorry if the audio is any worse in this video, I am still getting used to my new lodging and how to best record audio here.
Song list
Stellardrone - I Don't Belong Here [SpaceAmbient]
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NcDfrGDXpyc
You might have just heard a little snippet, but there are few composers that manage to capture the awe of space in such a pure form like
Edgaras Žakevičius (Stellardrone). He also lets people use his music for free, bless this man! https://stellardrone.bandcamp.com/
DM Dokuru - The tale of a cruel world
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b8A_FGr4Pjo
I eagerly await all your comments about the calamity music in the comment. It is the price to pay for using this music. This piece in
particular has a contrasting optimistic sound to it despite how harsh the title is. I appreciate the use of bells in particular here.
Forest San Filippo - 4ever
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z_vw_kBgW_s
From the little game called "race the sun", a very tense but also zen experience. weirdly enough. There is something
unsettling about this song. The strings and bells just make it very moody and thoughtful. I think it is a piece that really sticks to you.
Masaharu Iwata, Hitoshi Sakimoto - Final Fantasy Tactics Music - Character Making
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cQRw28JhyKY
If you are ever looking for a song then it is a safe bet that Final Fantasy tactics has one brilliant OST. This is one of those songs that just sell the wonderous feeling of starting a new adventure so very well. You can feel the battles and conspiracies that await you unroll in your mind so vividly when you hear this!
FlybyNo - Dungeon of the endless OST - Haphazardly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozxBGv_oWtI
Tranced ant, out of this world and alien is how I would describe this song. As soon as you hear this song you know it is not portraying anything that is or ever will be on earth. Space might be awe inspiring in scope, but it is equally mysterious with how much it hides.
Kenji Yamamoto and Kouichi Kyuma - Metroid Prime - Magmoor caverns
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQCZIb0fbt8
It is the use of the quire that really makes me appreciate this song. It sounds so very tense and daunting, this song really makes you sure you feel its heavy weight. As heavy as the air in Magmoor caverns.
Forest San Filippo - Race the sun - Sunrise
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vqCCw8FODXU
A song that speaks in the most beautiful language, the one of piano and strings. It is as if it says to you: "rise and shine" It is time for a brand new day, with its new challenges and rewards. Work hard, enjoy life and be the best you can. Every day is a new chance to make yourself shine even brighter.

Look at you, getting to the bottom of the description. I feel humbled everytime i think someone even bother to read the words i write or say, the attention of others is something one must respect when it is given and try to not waste.
