What about the music ?

Hi everyone !

This is my first Topic on this site, and as you can see in the title, it talks about the music of TESO.
Well, I'm surfing on the web nearly everyday, searching news about the game, but I never heard something about what kind of music we will have in the game. Will there be the music of TES Skyrim when you enter this area, or the music of TES Oblivion when you walk across Cyrodiil? Will there even be a music for each area or just a totally new theme song for the whole game?
Do we have any information about this ?

Thanks for any reply !

I apologize if there are any errors, I don't speack english currently

That's a great question. Unfortunatly, there has been no release of that information. I would like to see mini games that allow players to play their own music. It will help with immersion if we see a player playing the lute at your local tavern.

I like that instrument idea, @Durios .

As for background music, I think Skyrim should have music similar to that of TESV.

The TESIV theme would work well in Cyrodiil, especially when fighting.

It would be nice to travel around Morrowind with the TESIII theme playing. It is a beautiful piece of music and would create a nostalgia factor.

Hammerfell and Elsweyr could have desert-/savannah-/tribal-/Aussie-themed music.

Valenwood and Black Marsh music should have a jungle vibe to it.

The TESII theme would go well with High Rock. It could also be remastered.

As for Summerset, I guess we'll just have to wait, though I suppose a remastered TESA theme could work.

John Williams?



And way to bag the GrayFox username. Well played sir.

I haven't heard anything of the music yet. However, unless I'm in an area where the music is faster paced, such as combat, I usually listen to my own music. When I pvp I almost always have my own soundtrack going. I am curious as how the music will be though.

I always liked the music in the Elder Scrolls game so I hope it will have Elder Scrollish music :P

Another thought, It be like in Perfect World where they have slacker radio as an in game feature. That was about the one good thing about that game.

Personally I don't think they'll use the music of the old ES games, maybe the remastered versions of the very old ones. Anyway, we just have to wait, I suppose we'll get the answer soon :)

The music will be very recognizable if you have played SPTES games. Immersion is key in any RP game or MMO and music plays a big part of that immersion. Take Age Of Conan as an example, the music in that game is simply epic. No matter what people think of the game you can't fault the music.

Well it was confirmed a while back that a composer named Rik Schaffer has been contracted to write about half of the ESO musical score, he has games like Vampire: The Masquerade Bloodlines and some others in his accomplishments.
