It's hard to pick a single favorite. The basic Seikilos Epitaph (in all its forms) is probably my overall favorite, while my favorite "upbeat" song is probably 2Virgule4. If I am looking at it as "best song/scene" combination, however, it's definitely Foolish Child. I struggle to put it into words, but I think that (for me) it just encompasses every sense of emotion that relates to romance; it is ethereal and mesmerizing, yet at the same time melancholy and bittersweet - which may seem contradictory, but as the story points out, the sort of love we consider romantic is only so powerful because we know it is finite and must eventually come to an end.

It really is. It's an absolutely stunning scene.  The combination of the scenery, the dialogue, and the haunting melody is breathtaking - and I mean that literally, I found myself holding my breath during that scene because it was just so...intense.

******Early Hinterland 3 spoilers below as part of a question*******

This occurs at the end of the first day in Hinterlands 3; I think it happens regardless of what activity you choose, as I've tried both the Tailor and the Colonel's House without any change. Anyway, while P and Storm are driving around, the minotaur gets scared when you come upon a graffitied brick wall. There's a conversation about an abandoned truck stop that's "dangerous", and Storm's fear is enough to make P turn left, away from the truck stop.

Is there a meaning behind this? I admit I'm only on my second playthrough overall (though I save-scummed to see both the "Christian Burial" and the "Skinned God" routes), but I feel like there's either more to this, or that there will BE more to this at some point. Or is it just supposed to be an indication of P learning that Storm's instincts are to be trusted?
