And Me Without a Fiddle (Spoilers for DA arc)
I was listening to my random mix at the time, I think... hardly remember what was on at the time, was too busy demolishing the baddies and rescuing people.
I was catching up with on the Nerdbound podcast. Which episode escapes me at the moment, but it wasn't really appropriate (nor is their humor! Zing!) for the situation
I'd never use a nuke in a superhero universe. You nuke a city, you kill 1.5 million people minus one. The last guy not only gets superpowers from the explosion, but ones that let him survive a nuke...and wow, is he torqued off

I love hearing what people listen to when playing these arcs. There are a lot of pieces of music I listen to when actually making the maps and missions for arcs to get myself in the right mindset.
While setting up the scene in Cimerora, I was listening to Chrono Cross: Orphanage of Flame
For the scene in Dream Doctor's mission when you first confront Mot, I was listening to Lord of the Rings: The End of All Things while making the cutscene and mission.
While working on the final mission in Dark Astoria, I was listening to several pieces to get into a epic mood. A few were:
Lord of the Rings: Final Battle (Theater Production)
Bayonetta: The Greatest Jubilee
Lastly, when writing Aaron Walker's scene in Dark Watcher's arc, I was listening to LOST: Looking Glass Half Full (Contains spoilers to LOST - Warning!)

That's cool info to hear. Hard to imagine any problems with using the LotR soundtrack to inspire something epic.
Personally, I find that the final DA battle also works when played to AC/DC's "Let There Be Rock", especially if you can time the transition between map sections to the pauses in the song.
Be really curious, Dr. Aeon, what you'd come up with for the LotR soundtrack tune "The Steward of Gondor".

Some good suggestions in this thread for stuff for my playlist. Thanks guys!
A couple on my playlist that fit the mood:
Rock Anthem for Saving the World (Halo Soundtrack) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RO1y7WQfD9c
(I know, everybody's heard this one, but it just fits somehow. It's been years since I've played Halo, but the piece really captures the feel of stepping out against overwhelming odds and giving it the old college try.)
and
Khaine's Wrath (Dawn of War II Soundtrack) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJpPzjHkDUs
When playing the burning Cimerora mish I was listening to this.
It fit very well.

My personal favorites at the moment being Exodus, Archangel, Nemesis, United We Stand, Divided We Fall and Nero. (Admittedly Nero may not exactly be epic combat music.)
The piece from them people are most likely to recognize is Freedom Fighters.

I couldn't have been the only one.
Not in the habit of playing a certain song for a mission. But I often choose a playlist/artist that I think fitting for the character being played.
I did try the last mission from Solaris arc with Rage of Poseidon. Was great.
I do not suffer from altitis, I enjoy every character of it.
one that happened by accident but worked pretty well was, turisas:end of an empire http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sHaDCcaoeWA
(A bit late, perhaps, but now more people have had a chance to play through this...)
So did anyone else, while playing the mission where you have to rescue as many as you can from burning Cimerora, end up listening to "Leaving Earth" from the Mass Effect 3 soundtrack?
Or maybe you're more old-school, and prefer Barber's "Adagio for Strings (Agnus Dei)", as featured in Homeworld (among others)?
