from her :
Thanks so much for taking this viral guys! The Elder Scrolls community has a new, soft, warm place in my heart. Wow, if like 1/6th of the people who viewed this each chipped in a buck to the? kickstarter campaign, I could press my next album in vinyl! I'm working on another cover for you. Much love, Gillian (soft g, x-files style)


just put her somewhere in the game with a harp and this song playing, that would be awesome !

That would be pretty cool. Especially since this is by FAR the best theme tune. How amazing it felt when this kicked in when you were wandering around the plains.

Nice bit of harp playing the Morrowind variation of TES theme. I like it!

Thats nice really good playing on harp.
I think since according to Lore college of Bards in located in Skyrim
Haafingar (Solitude)

The home of the famous Bards' College, Haafingar is also one of Skyrim's chief ports, and ships from up and down the coast can be found at her crowded quays, loading timber and salted cod for the markets of Wayrest, West Anvil, and Senchal. Founded during Skyrim's long Alessian flirtation, the Bards' College continues to flaunt a heretical streak, and its students are famous carousers, fittingly enough for their chosen trade. Students yearly invade the marketplace for a week of revelry, the climix of which is the burning of "King Olaf" in effigy, possibly a now-forgotten contender in the War of Succession. Graduates have no trouble finding employment in noble households across Tamriel, including the restored Imperial Court in Cyrodiil, but many still choose to follow in the wandering footsteps of illustrious alumni such as Callisos and Morachellis.

Thats will be really good to play some great music of Jeremy Soule and music from previous games on instruments like Lutes, Harps and Flutes
as well nice to see other examples of medieval musical Instruments like Fiddles, Harpsichords for example
http://www.medieval-life-and-times.info/medieval-music/medieval-musical-instruments.htm
Such musical features will greatly enhance game experience add more immersion and atmosphere to public places

As well thats is not hard to be done simple scripting allow play sound file and an idle animation with idle object, thats even not minigame (but will be example of really interesting minigame if will be done) since add nice layer of roleplaying to the game, common devs you want this from Daggerfall.

It's been too long since I inbeded a pic, so I'll just have to post a link until some nice person reminds me how to!

I think she needs to be in a tavern. Low lighting, near a fire place. Perfect imagery.

I've actually seen a few harp videos of morrowind theme so would be pretty unfair towards all the other people in the world who can do the same thing haha.

To be fair it's no big deal, there are hundreds of videos of people playing that song.
Infact I can play it on guitar and piano. Do I deserve to be in game... no, absolutely not.

Nice video, but including her in the game would be just silly and probably won't happen :lol:

The difference here maybe (if you read the related article), is the elder scroll community have been helping her fund raise for her album.
So of course a lot of people are able to do the same, so why her?

- maybe the originality of the instrument ?
- maybe because of the community behind her ?
- maybe because someone at Kotaku found that awesome enough to write an article about it?
- maybe to actually just make an example of how strong our community could be?

We could find plenty reason for it, and you also could find plenty reasons for you (I guess).
Could you imagine the impact if let's say, in X months, the dev actually did it, and people write articles about it, saying how from a fund raise this artist, playing the Morrowing theme, was able to produce her album, and that with fans suggestions (I know I wasn't the only one thinking about it) the dev actually made it?

- Fans would be proud
- non-Fans would be impressed and maybe wanting to join this community
- Devs would have a free marketing campaign be proud as well :)
- etc..

I have hard time to see what would be bad about it, I'm pretty sure anyone would find this awesome.

But again I didn't expect to see negative comments about it, so maybe I'm wrong..
