So... the Skyrim theme.

[zehydra]

It's a great fit for the sort of Viking-esque culture the Nords have.

 

[ilspooner]

Oh, I found this as well

That is ungodly epic.

Agreed, good sir. The theme by itself is pretty awesome as well.

 

[Jonluw]

Oh, I found this as well

That is ungodly epic.

I think I came.

 

[Lord Beautiful]

I like the new theme. Very appropriate for a game that features "Dragon Shouts."

Oh, I found this as well

That is ungodly epic.

Shivers down my friggen spine.

At first I found that the themes clashed with each other. 'Bout halfway through, though,

EDIT: Goddamnit, ninja'd.

 

[josemlopes]

I like it, its the Nords after all.

 

[MiracleOfSound]

Made me want to do a Haka of joy.

 

[DustyDrB]

Apparently, the Oblivion and Skyrim themes are built off of the Morrowind theme. I think that's what the sound director said in that Game Informer peice (which was an interesting video that I shall post)

Spoiler: same interview but not music related

Please don't ruin Ghostbusters for me...

Sounds pretty generic. Then again, they all do, so I won't hold it against them.

|For those of you who havent heard it, here it is
So I wanted to know the Escapists veiws on it both musically and gamewise, me personally. Though I like the big drums they dont really do it for me, but once it gets to the main theme from both Morrowind and Oblivion it gets the memories of those games coming back and its just awesome.

Sounds like manly pirates! i like that!

 

[Kausill]

It is worthy. Wait no... more than worthy. It is excellent!

 

[AlternatePFG]

I really like this take on the theme. Honestly, while I'm not a huge fan of either Morrowind or Oblivion, I always loved the main theme in those games.

I'm still gonna buy Skyrim though, I just can't help myself.

 

[omicron1]

I would note that what has been published so far is not the entire theme; and was probably specially modified for the sake of the trailer. So, we've still got an interesting bit of music to look forward to - music that will probably sound the same, but will probably not have such a long buildup with such a short payoff.

manly butt pirates a bit at the beginning

 

[omicron1]

Stuff!

As the Pirates of the Caribbean series postdated Morrowind (the original source of the melody found in all three modern Elder Scrolls games) by a year, it is solely coincidence... or perhaps group concept genesis.

You may have (probably did) already know this, but for general knowledge's sake, that's the story.

 

[Mad World]

Not bad. I like it. I'd have to say that my favourite is the Morrowind one, though.

 

[crimson5pheonix]

All I can think about is Beowulf. That's not necessarily a bad thing.

 

[captaincabbage]

Holy blimy shittington that was awesome, this it seemed a little bit muddled in the middle. If they took out the Morrowind part in the middle then I reckon it'd sound perfect.

It maybe be a bit too Pirates of the Caribbean-ish, but still, it's very good in my opinion

I was dreading when someone brought that up. Morrowind came out before Pirates, way back in 2002, a whole year before Pirates. It's actually weird to think that POTC is that old actually, coming out in 2003.

But anyway, I still maintain that POTC stole the Morrowind music. ;P

OT: As for that epic Skyrim theme, the first thing I think of when I hear 'Skyrim' is snow vikings, so when I think about that with this theme I can soundly come to the conclusion that it is PERFECT.

 

[latenightapplepie]

I love it. All of it. I can't wait to hear the rest of the music in the game.

 

[OdyCay]

i reacon TES have the best themes out of all games
morrowinds is the best though
