Sound design plays an important role in The Banner Saga. Because cutscenes are mostly made up of still images, ambient noise adds a nice layer of verisimilitude. Banging shields and the clanking of swords really accentuate the battles. Environmental sounds such as waves accompanying the arrival of Viking ships also adds a nice touch. The most effectual use of sound is the howling wind during snow storms. These tempests really convey the dire state of the world, as your clansman begin to die from the lack of supplies and the harshness of the environment.
