I would have to pick Skyrim but all of them are good.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:07 am

Morrowinds.

I've got to pick Oblivion. It's way too epic. (also was the TES that introduced me to TES)

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 4:32 am

Morrowind no question.

Skyrim theme is a good epic sounding theme, but I've never been a fan of that style of epic sounding music.

Morrowind just has a warm and cozy feel to it's theme. Or maybe that's nostaliga, I don't know.

Me too it feels much more regal than skyrim, although I suppose it fits with Imperial City and whatnot

Skyrim > Morrowind > Oblivion

Skyrim is just too epic, powerful and emotive.

for a relaxing tune nothing bests morrowind's theme. but for a theme that makes your soul crave for battle skyrim cannot be bested.

gotta say betwwen daggerfall and skyrim ill give ob credit becuase it doesnt sound too much like skyrim or morrowind

Morrowind's theme.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 3:55 am

They're all good. But Skyrim's is seriously incredible.

I like the understatedness of the Morrowind theme. No crazy horns going AWOOOGA and such.

Morrowind, it evokes feelings on so many levels. If I'm happy, it's a happy song. If I'm sad, it's a sad song. If I'm feeling adventurous, it's the most epic exploration backdrop I could ever have.

Also, I think it's one of very, very few melodies that have on several occasions made my eyes well up in tears.

All the TES themes are great, but the Morrowind theme puts the "Soul" in "Jeremy Soule"

I like the Skyrim theme a good deal, but nothing can bring me back to another age as well as the Morrowind theme does.

Morrowind is the more emotional of the options I feel, it can evoke happiness, sadness, and a feeling of adventure with ease.
Skyrim's seems more like a battle tune to me. Not necessarily adventure-like, just let's go :flamethrower: some dragons.

Forgot to mention Daggerfall theme. It's a classic in my book, but not as memorable as Morrowind.

First: Skyrim
Close second: Morrowind

Man do I love Skyrim's main theme but I gotta say, nothing has ever haunted me as much as Daggerfall. Here, have a listen.

Another great song from Daggerfall (covered by Robert C. Hood. It's awesome)

I like Oblivion's the most. As epic as Skyrim is and how pumped it gets me. I still love Oblivion's theme the best. Skyrims sounds like a hybrid baby of Morrowind's theme and Oblivion's.

I remember when I first got Oblivion and heard that song. I now know the song by heart completely. lol.

For a peaceful one, Morrowind without doubt. For an actiony more epic one, Skyrim without doubt. Oblivions was good, but nothing special. Arena wasn't all too great.

Can't decide between Morrowind and Oblivion, but listening to the Daggerfall Theme for the first time, I have to say it sounds to me like it was heavily "inspired" by that one theme from Star Wars.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:54 am

I'd say it's a tie for me between Morrowind's and Skyrim's, and both for completely different reasons. Morrowind's is just so calming to listen too, and made trekking through an otherwise inhospitable land much more comfortable than it would have been otherwise. It's one of my favorite themes ever, regardless of medium, and I especially love the orchestral mix from a few years ago that's floating around the net. As for Skyrim's, it's upbeat and very gritty. It feels like a song you could go into battle with, which suits the game it's in perfectly.
Oblivion's was good as well, but not as good as the other two.

I played the III and IV so don't say I'm jumping on the band wagon but it sounds the most dramatic and you can almost think of the Greybeards doing the chants.
Awesome.
*really devoted fan mode*

There is something incredible about the Morrowind title theme... Something foreign and imperial. Plus, these drums at the beginning? They are a heartbeat. The legacy of Lorkhan and Nerevar, it hints at them as soon as you open the game, and this is a stroke of musical genius.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 2:26 pm

Morrowind. That is all.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 6:09 am

Skyrim, hands down. I adore the barbarian choir.

Morrowind second.

» Mon Dec 12, 2011 3:23 pm

I like Skyrim's primal feel, but Morrowind still takes the cake. :cake:
