When I first heard the Oblivion theme for the first time, I thought "wowwee what a ripoff of Morrowind's". Over time I've grown to appreciate the subtleties of the Oblivion main theme, but I still will never ever forget my first impression. It was such a sticking point.

Edit:

I think the many midi songs of Daggerfall deserve some recognition. The shop song is something engraved into my brain because I played that game so much as a child. There were some awesome dungeon tunes as well. Also the Hammerfall regions had great music that really was reminiscent of a hot, desert region.

Morrowind

still makes my nostalgia meter go off the charts

everytime I hear it I suddenly want to drop what I'm doing and go play Morrowind

I fell in love with Skyrim's theme the first time i saw it.

Possibly a link to all three to better judge?

lol oblvion has zero votes for time being.

Morrowind, mainly because I haven't heard a clear, full version of Skyrims yet so I'm not including it. Oblivions sounds like a mix between Morrowind and Pirates of the Caribbean, though I do prefer it's in-game music.

Good idea, it's been added.

I personally like Oblivions theme a lot but I choose Morrowind's theme because I liked it far more and it is far better. Also the Nostalgia factor!

I fail to see how Oblivion's is a ripoff of Morrowinds theme. I thought "Yay Pirates of The Elder Scrolls" when I heard it.

All three themes are played at the end of the most recent podcast.

In order I put :

Skyrim
Morrowind
Oblivion

But all retain something of the first Morrowind wich was really really nice , magical feeling , mistery , and unique ....
Oblivion theme instead seemed different but somehow trying to repeat and retake the morrowind style but somehow failed to replace it and morrowind still sounded nicer ...
The Skyrim theme feels a lot , really a lot more powerfull , gives impression of strenght , barbaricism and coolness still taking a bit from morrowind theme , well done ...

It's a toss up between Morrowind's and Skyrim's.

I don't think the music in the trailer will be the main song. The chanting is cool, but I don't know it doesn't fit with elder scrolls. Perfect for the trailer though.

I love both Morrowind and Oblivion's title themes. While I too voted for Morrowind, I'm a little sad to see Oblivion not getting any love from the community. I think Oblivion's theme captures an epic, imperial tone, which is suitable given the game's subject matter. Morrowind however evokes a feeling of wonder and exploration. It's quite a beautiful piece of music.

It's a tie between Morrowind and Skyrim.

» Mon Sep 27, 2010 6:03 am

Anyone know what they are saying at the end of the skyrim theme?

» Mon Sep 27, 2010 5:20 am

i see it all the time on youtube

For the king.
For the king
For the sake of Skyrim.
For our life;For our home.
For Hglothor's blood.
For the nords; For the gods.
For the sole single son.
Dvohakin, our king, who'll rise with fire.
i think i spelled some stuff wrong.

This. :lmao: But I love all three, how they weave and vary the same recognizable theme on the general feel of each game.

at least some ppl are voting for oblivion though

» Mon Sep 27, 2010 11:34 am

Oblivion's. Epic.

In actuality, I think all are pretty spectacular. And each does an excellent job at setting the tone of the game.

» Mon Sep 27, 2010 1:26 pm

I like all of them equally, sort of.
I voted for Skyrim because of pure excitement. :celebration:

» Mon Sep 27, 2010 9:15 am

Skyrim.

Chanting makes everything sound better...
