Favorite Songs : The Elder Scrolls Series Discussion

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:25 pm

What is your favorite song(that you know of) from each Elder Scrolls game? Here's my list:

Arena-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yPdL2nSuiYM&feature=related

Daggerfall-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZ97I2p4_YY

Battlespire(haven't played this game)-I don't like any of its music

Redguard(haven't played this game)-I only found the http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yFRnqQSty2s on Youtube, but I really like it.

Morrowind-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DORtFo2MAE0(Morrowind theme)

Oblivion-http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bHGgBugeyHI

I liked the Morrowind theme, no real preferences about the Oblivion music.

P.S. they are not songs, songs have singers.

In that case, my favorite Elder Scrolls song is the cliffracer song.

"Oh hey sweet lady o' Wayresy
Oh hey sweet lady of mine
I'll see you again
Yes I'll see you again
Sweet lady of Wayrest so fine!"

Nah, I hated that song. Seriously, could they not have had a meeting of the voice actors to agree upon a melody? It was ineffably stupid to hear a Breton and a Redguard sing the exact same song, each with a different tune. Dropped the ball on that one, Bethesda.

Nerevar Rising. My life has been fantastic since I figured out how to play it on the piano. Glory of Cyrodiil is a great piece of music as well, though.

EDIT: @TennysonXII Really? You couldn't just post something about a song you liked and moved on? It had to be "Tee hee, this one time I noticed something I didn't like about Oblivion"?

I hope you don't think I'm picking on Oblivion. It was the first song I thought of, and after it occurred to me that it wasn't actually a song I like.

But to get back in your good graces, I'll agree that Nerevar Rising (and by extension Call of Magic) and Glory of Cyrodiil are both fantastic pieces of music. I'll even add that both songs capture the spirit of their respective games perfectly.

Nerevar Rising

or Pac Man Fever

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtDYUV-UMtQ from Morrowind is a great one. I even have it set as my alarm clock tone.

I also enjoy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HqIcJ3KD6aA from Oblivion, along with Reign Of The Septims or course.

For me its a tie between Love Lost and Peaceful Waters. Honestly i cant decide on a favourite they're all great.

I loved Nerevar Rising the first hundred thousand times. But got old after awhile.

From Daggerfall
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4vIeqK8J3bI&feature=related

It made me feel totally badass when I heard it for the first time.

This one is from http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vxSCj39Qugs&feature=related. Every time I hear it I can't get over how mysterious it is. Just what you would expect from an Elder Scrolls song.

I pretty much like all music from TES games, but the most I like are: Morrowind and Oblivion main theme; Daggerfall: Overcast, Sunny Day, Explore 3, Shedungent, all the Night themes; Arena: Track 18 and 20.
Unfortunately, I've never had the privilige to play the Elder Scrolls Legends games so far, so I can't say much about their music.

Eric Heberling for TES5. Only real choice imo.

Daggerfall; Folk_2
Morrowind; Nerevar Rising.
And for Oblivion; Auriel's Ascension.

» Fri May 13, 2011 10:14 pm

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v95NBKMFMbo&feature=related has quite an awesome theme. Though, I'd have to go with Morrowind's nostalgic Nevervar Rising.

Harvest Dawn from Oblivion

» Fri May 13, 2011 8:17 pm

they are soundtracks right?

When people talk about music without any words they usually say "pieces" E.G. "Beethoven op.109 is a great piece". The soundtrack would be the music of a film, videogame etc..., song or piece.

Hahaha good one Mishaxhi. Pac Man Fever... lol
That song was such a disgrace... lol

I really liked the song in the trailer for Daggerfall. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_MY0ihuJZc if anyone can tell me why it sounds familiar despite never having played it, please do.

Also, I really disliked the music for Oblivion. It was too bombastic, which is suppose is what they were going for, and although I like the first couple chords of the opening theme, the rest just seems bloated and grating. Also, the music wandering around Cyrodiil just seems too "fairy tale" and I didn't really care for it.
