Favorite Musical Track in The Elder Scrolls series.

Post by Kerr »

So I'm wondering what people's favorite musical track from The Elder Scrolls series is. There's a lot of good music in the series to be sure but I think my favorite is "Peace of Akatosh" from Oblivion.

It's just a such a beautiful serene piece of music. And "Peace" is the perfect word to have in the title, the music does an amazing job at getting those emotions across.

Nerevar Rising is still uncontested in my book.

+1 to that. The music is one of the reasons I endure the endless crash-reload-crash-reload cycle on TES games... :/

Anyway my favourite:

Skyrim Atmosphere (which I listen to daily pretty much) and Minstrel's Lament.

There are so many I like, but my absolute favorite has to be "The Streets of Whiterun". It makes me think of a beautiful sunny morning, and it's just so pretty.

Can I just say the entire Oblivion soundtrack? I just had to go looking through all of it to find "that song that goes doo doo doo doo doo doooo", and man, I love it all. Though I tell you, Ancient Sorrow and Unmarked Stone both stress me out within the first 5 seconds.
I do really like Nerevar Rising, too.

The Oblivion soundtrack is amazing. Let's say the entirety of Jeremy Soule's compositions are amazing (listening to Streets of Whiterun right now haha).

Oblivion has my favorite soundtrack overall but I definitely prefer the more serene and peaceful music Jeremy Soule makes to his actiony music. That stuff's not bad or anything but I just like his other music more and if I'm going to be listening to music from a TES game while not playing it, that kind of atmospheric music is what I'll be looking for.

Mmmm, TES soundtracks. :heart: Tough choice, but I have always been partial to Morrowind's "Peaceful Waters."

By far one of the greatest tracks. It is impossible for me to hear that without getting pumped up and nostalgic.

Choose a favourite track in TES!? Are you mad!? I....I.....

*Brain implodes*

Yeah, I can't pick one as I love the entire soundtrack. Though, Sovngarde, Skyrim's theme, the Dragonborn trailer themes do come to mind.

Though, I will admit, I am more preferable to the Morrowind-onwards soundtracks.

Once I can, I will try to kick my ol' ipod into life, get the soundtracks and use it as walking music. I could do with my phone but no-one likes Windows phones. That and no USB means no transferring to phone.
