Hi

I just watched the new gameplay trailers again (those 3 in HD), and again noticed, how much the music contributes to the scene!
It feels so nice, so lovely ... in my opinion it really adds a lot to the atmosphere!

I always felt, the music is one of the strong parts in Bethesda games (only played Oblivion and Fallout3 though).
I often wasn't too impressed by the music of recent games. It's sadly not a matter of course to get music, which not only sounds nice on its own, but also largely contributes to the feeling/atmosphere of the game in a fitting way. In some games the music is even rather destroying the atmosphere by being terribly unfitting.

I'm most pleased by two pieces of the demo:
The nice theme, which starts, when the player enters Riverwood.
The "mysterious" music, which starts in the second video, when the player opens a gate, which leads through a streamlet into a really nice looking cave.

I'm less impressed by the music in fights. Not meaning it's bad or anything, but as always I think, it might be annoying sometimes. But that might just be a personal thing ... also it's probably very hard to do a fitting music, which is not "disturbing" somehow .. after all, it should give the player a feeling of danger (maybe I just don't like danger ^^).
It'd be cool though, if the game would maybe decide to not play that music, if you're stronger and the enemies, which attack you are rather weak in comparison then.
To me it always felt a bit awkward, when I got attacked by a rat, and the music sounded like I'd be part of an epic battle against creatures of doom.

Hmmm .. seems like most people don't really care that much about the music. :violin:
Which is kind of sad, because it's a very important part of a game in my opinion!

But cool to see, that I'm not the only one, who likes the music of Skyrim so far. :turned:

I like your owl hat! It looks cozy.

I love the music, actually. It's obviously, for the most part, the music from Morrowind and Oblivion but it's kind of re-imagined in a "frontier" viking flavour.

20 votes that people like it.

Definatly good music in the game :thumbsup:

I am really not a fan of the music in the previous Elder Scrolls game however I will admit that the Riverwood theme isnt too bad.

I need more music released :ahhh: listening to the theme and http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XFMkDYVe4l8 just make me want more

Jeremy Soule is an absolute genius. I often play Oblivion and always appreciate how much the music adds to what's happening around me in the world but I also thought to myself "Is he talented enough to even top this?"........
Short answer, F YES! The Skyrim gameplay demo's are amazing and the music sounds like it will not disappoint. Jeez, just over a month to go folks!!!!!

People do like and care about the music, I just think everyone believes its just a fact of life that the music will be beautifull and epic and we dont even need to talk about that cause its just how its gonna be :disguise:
