So those of us who preordered the game off of GOG don't get the full soundtrack? I got the artbook etc. but not the full soundtrack... Or am I just being dumb and not noticing something? lol

Why are you saying this? The full soundtrack consists of 35 themes, you should be able to see it in your "extras" section.

I don't know, the official soundtrack is 35 tracks long. If you don't have this, then that is a bit of a worry.

If in general you are referring to music pieces that are missing from the soundtrack above but are in the game, then I agree, not all the music played in game has made it to the soundtrack. There is a piece that I couldn't find that plays during Djikstra's impassioned speech that I could not find in the 35 tracks.

It seems to be the case for all soundtracks in general though (I like to collect movie and game soundtracks).

I've attached the Witcher 3 contents library so you can compare if you like

The music piece from Geralt's talk with Tamara is also missing.

I figured it out.

The soundtrack that I downloaded from GOG has 35 tracks. However, when I go to itunes, I see the Witcher 3 Soundtrack being 56 tracks. Is the GOG a limited soundtrack only, I was under the impression I would get the FULL soundtrack album with my GOG purchase, not selected tracks only.

What gave you that impression? Nowhere does it state that you will get all soundtracks, but it *does* state that what you get is GOG exclusive. There is a huge difference.

It says "soundtrack (35 tracks, FLAC)" in the official listing page ( http://www.gog.com/game/the_witcher_3_wild_hunt ). It doesn't say partial, limited, or exclusive.... just that it comes with the soundtrack. Wouldn't one presume that you would get the FULL soundtrack if a game says "soundtrack" as one of the bonuses?

Maybe it's just the way I'm reading it. But if I didn't know in advance that the "full soundtrack" had 56 tracks, I would just presume that I am getting the "soundtrack" plus some exclusive bonus tracks that are not available on the official soundtrack.

Don't you think it would be more clear if they labeled it as "limited soundtrack" or "35 tracks from the official soundtrack release"? I just don't see any indication specifically that there is a more lengthy soundtrack available. What exactly in the above description you posted would make somebody presume that they are only getting about 2/3rds of the official soundtrack release?

More often than not, OSTs do not include all music or sounds that can be heard in-game. Just because it's called soundtracks does not mean you get every track. They release what they release for their own reasons. You shouldn't assume that "soundtrack" means everything. They have no onus to label it anything other than it is: *a* soundtrack.
