Author's Response:
defying gods is a serious business, for serious adventurers, who just can't get enough of the wilderness threats. However this theme was built PURELY with the intention that it would not distract. The choir part illuminates the hero's defiance against the gods, and I chose to make this sad because I thought from both the god's and this person's point of view.
True they are both angry at each other, but inside, the warrior must feel a sadness, to have to destroy the belief he was handed down by his whole family and society. At least this was my opinion on it.
A grand epic finale piece was discussed but the game was already bordering 10 megs, which was absolute max at the time, another 2 megs for a monster god piece was simply out of the question.
I hope this answers some questions, I am thankful for the review. I am glad you liked it!
