Ranking the Entire Oblivion Soundtrack
Vložit
- čas přidán 29. 06. 2024
- Hello and welcome to my new channel.
I love the Elder Scrolls games, and the music is one of my favourite elements of all of the games.
I listen to video game music all the time, and my most played video game music album is Jeremy Soule's Oblivion score, so I thought I would rank it for fun and also as a way to see which are the community's most beloved tracks.
Please let me know your preferences in the comments below, I am super interested to hear about it ❤️

Just adding a note on the audio quality of my mic in some parts of this video, it's not great but I will improve it for the next video
Yeah the Blue Yeti is an ole girl and a bit tricky but you can get it to sound really good. Well I can't But other have, even one vid I showed up in, I didn't even recognize my own voice.
I am a strong believer that Oblivion had the best soundtrack in the series
Objective fact, imho.
Lots of variety, emotion, and meaning.
I love oblivion but morrowinds songs are unforgettable
It was inspired by a near-death experience. It is certainly the most emotional in the series.
100%
@YoreKeeper
Hopefully we'll get another like it one day.
Unless I learn how to compose with my EWQL Library, and maybe look deeply at my life and at life itself and give it a whirl.
But then I ask, does that make me an imitation? Or does that make me someone who was able to see beauty in how relatable a life changing experience can be is?

I love how the Oblivion soundtrack is so iconic to those that played that literally the lowest ranking song on this list is still surprisingly memorable.
An interesting note to add, Soul was in near fatal car crash while working on the oblivion sound track and having survived wanted "to comment on the human condition and the beauty of life." as he puts it, this near death experience gave us such a beautiful and ethereal soundtrack that has yet to be topped imo
Great video
I might be wrong but I think it says somewhere that this happened while he was creating Auriel's Ascension
So cool. Oblivion has the best music in the series, imo. It's whinsical, reflective and cozy.
The ultimate cozy game
I like to put the Oblivion soundtrack into Morrowind's music folder.
It's the objectively best Elder Scrolling experience possible.
Nothing beats listening to Auriel's Ascension while watching the sunrise over the Ascadian Isles as you're levitating from Ebonheart to Vivec City.
Love that, might try it myself. I put the world of Warcraft soundtrack (vanilla) into my Sims 3 folder, nothing beats the Lion’s Pride Inn music as the house is burning down and all my sims dance around it because they don’t know what to do
Thank you for dropping my new favourite phrase 17:59 "Bosmer Activities" 😂❤
I read r/TrueSTL too much, at first I thought that "Bosmer activities" was an euphemism for getting cuckolded :D
The music really compensated for the less polished, technically limited aspects of the game. The air in the caves felt damp and cool. The towns felt warm and inviting. The castles felt grandiose. The level of immersion was unparalleled. Oblivion was already somewhat outdated when I first played it in late 2011, and it blew me away regardless.
My favorite tracks are probably Watchman's Ease, Glory of Cyrodiil, and Peace of Akatosh.
Solid choices 🤌🏻✨
Oblivion music is so incredibly nostalgic for me. It reminds me of how I used to look over my brother's shoulder for hours as he played this masterpiece. The music always brings back warm memories of good times.
Hearing 'Through the Valleys' again brought back memories of this song constantly baiting me into thinking something was chasing me because it sounds a bit like the combat music
The score adds a new dimension to the Oblivion experience. Listening to it years after binge playing the game itself fuses all of the old impressions into one enriched, furnished and densely populated HD day-dream.
Auriel's Ascension is and always has been #1 for me as well.
That’s a really Good way of putting it, love that
For a first full video, this kicked some serious butt! The soundtracks for Oblivion and Kotor (also done by Soule) truly set their stages and can melt the entire world away as you play. Magical stuff.
Thank you! Glad to see others who share my passion for his work 🫶
I will never forget when I left the sewers for the first time, and the beautiful view of the lake and the green lands around it, with white Aylid ruins in the distance stood before me. 'King and Country' was the track that played in that moment and I was absolutely mesmerised. It will always remain my favorite of Oblivion soundtrack.
another thing to note: that quiet, peaceful section of the Reign of the Septims was used as the music for the game's launcher on PC. It's why that snippet always gives me shivers
Auriel's Ascension is my absolute favorite piece of music, let alone video game OST, ever. It's haunting yet gentle introduction lifts you up into Aetherius and lets you gaze out, and when the plucks of the piano come in, it's a meticulous and beautiful melody. It's so beautiful, listening to it makes me tear up sometimes.
Because for some reason, the track cannot be heard in the Xbox 360 version of the game, which is an utter shame. So it actually took me years to finally listen to it after picking up Oblivion.
But god I love this game and the music.
I never knew that, feels like a pretty significant miss in my opinion!
Luckily I played it on PS3 for the first time, and the only console specific issue that I remember was not being able to cure vampirism unless you switched your console to German - the dialogue that accepts the ingredients for the cure wasn’t available in any other languages on the console.
Much prefer that than having to miss out on Auriel’s Ascension!
I was wondering why I never heard it until I played on the PS3
I had the issue of never hearing it until I got it on PC. It is a track that is to perfect for words.
I think I can attest to this too. I first played this game on 360. I eventually played Skyrim on PC, you know before I achieved CHIM, and delved into the Nexus. I added a mod that added Oblivion OST into it and for the longest time I thought Auriels Ascension was a Skyrim Track.
Ahh a soul sister!! It's impossible to find someone who loves this game like me and my sisters. We grew up with it, and I still listen to this music almost every day! My favorites are Wings of Kynareth, Glory of Cyrodill, and Harvest Dawn. But I think I will have to add Auriel's Ascension now to my regulars :)
you have amazing taste those are my favourites too!
As someone who loves talking about soundtracks, elder scrolls and ranking literally everything I possibly can, this is exactly my niche.
Both this and Skyrim have such fantastic soundtracks that you can genuinely start calling each track a masterpiece after the bottom 5-6 tracks, they are both such tough rankings to do. I've tried ranking Skyrim's soundtrack before and it feels like picking between children.
I think Peace of Akatosh and King and Country are my two favourites but there are so many classics. It is hilarious that Harvest Dawn has become the most iconic track from the game.
Sometimes it's just nice to hear people talk about what they like and I especially like the poetic language you use to describe the feelings this music evokes in you. Well done.
I agree 100% with you. In general, Oblivion's soundtrack is my favorite, I never played Morrowind though. I have to admit that my favorite track from the franchise is in Skyrim (The Streets of Whiterun) It so sad to think that we may never hear Jeremy Soule's work again. He ruined his career.
Edit: Main theme at the 2nd place is awesome. Definitely my favorite.
How did he ruin his career?
@@jambo11jd Well, there's the Kickstarter scam and those allegations of sexual harassment. BGS cut ties with him.
@@MaxStoryTeller92 oh wow I had no idea
Jeremy Soule is an absolute legend. The elder scrolls soundtracks are some of the best in gaming, and even outside gaming. He also did some amazing work on older title like Icewind Dale 1-2 and a few more. Tbh though, I think he has done want he wants to do and needs to do already. The ruined his career aspect is quite sad, but i'm not sure he would have stayed anyway.
Your commentary on All's Well reminded me of one of my oblivion characters, Reads-All-Books. He's an argonian vampire who owns Battlehorn Castle with a very simple quest - read all the books. I'd usually play that save in the evening, just chilling out in the study and reading all the books that I'd bought from the book shop in the Imperial City. I'd only walk places unless I was fast travelling, and I never really fought unless there was a book at the end of a quest. I mostly did the quests that don't require that you fight, and its quite an interesting way to experience the game.
Oh, I also have a cute dog! I'm pretty sure its not supposed to be able to leave the shivering isles but my game glitched and it appeared in my castle. Thanks Ushnar
There are TWO versions of "Reign of the Septims":
1. The one you hear in the main menu
2. The one you hear in the INTRO
I personally like the SECOND one much better, and I wonder why nobody ever talks about it. The way the theme is paced to Uriel Septim's narration and the transition after he says "These are the closing days of the third era.... And the final hours of my life" Creates so much suspension and epicness. You go from a soft French horn to a staccato of strings doing a crescendo and suddenly you have THE WHOLE BRASS SECTION playing the leitmotif emphasized by cymbals, as the camera hovers over the imperial city in all its majesty.
One of the things that breaks my gamer heart is new comers asking online if "going back to play these games is worth it" since they're afraid it will be too dated either by graphics or mechanics or some other fear of the "old". Maybe they'll move past that one day and just experience all the beauty and wonder these games have to offer.
This channel gives me the opposite feeling, by the way
Oh my god, you were stressing me out when I wasn't seeing Auriel's Ascension on the list! It's definitely my number one pick as well. It just has a perfect mix of a sort of sadness and longing, while still being hopeful for the future. Like walking along a path in the wilds, alone on a dark, rainy night. Thinking of your home and a family you haven't seen in too long. But then the sun starts to peek over the mountains and in the dawn the rainclouds start to clear and you see your hometown in the distance.
Maybe I read into it too mush haha But I also agree with you putting a lot of the dungeon and combat music lower on the list as a lot of them don't really stand apart from one another. I have an extra degree of disdain for Oblivion's combat music as it won't stop playing even if it's just cuz a random mudcrab is still chasing me even though I outran him 3 miles back.
I know this video is older than your other two, but thanks again for talking about these lesser thought about subjects in Oblivion! c:
My top three have got to be Minstrel's Lament, Auriel's Ascension, and Reign of the Septims... followed shortly after by Through the Valleys.
I think Auriel's Ascension is very interesting in regards to the lore. I made a post linking the similarities with Auriel's ascension and Uriel VII's death which can be seen on the Oblivion subreddit. How the song compares this mythical sorrow with the sorrow experienced now, throughout Cyrodiil.
Man, I really can't agree with Tension being the rock-bottom lowest rated, it is definitely one of the most memorable ambient tracks of the game for me, it just evokes the mood of those damp caves and sewers. Great video though!
I'm a massage therapist, and I play the relaxing tracks at work because it's the GOAT of work music
Absolutely agree with this list! The closer we were getting to the number one soundtrack, the more tears were coming out of eyes…so nostalgic!! So excited to see more videos on this channel!!
No other soundtrack from any other media evokes such nostalgia and it's partly built in to the music, it has such a sense of place and longing. I'm so gutted to read about Jeremy Soule recently :(
Peace of Akatosh makes me feel so many things.... God all these tracks are amazing.
One must not forget the Imperial Guard Song lol
Oblivion’s soundtrack brings me back to my teen years.
I do yoga to the music of the outdoors and towns in Cyrodiil, I curated a little playlist of every serene song from this game because it really takes me to my happy place. Cyrodiil is enchanting, and for a romantic like myself, it is somewhere I can get lost in without even trying. Please do more Oblivion content, I LOVE your channel!!! ❤
Really loved this video! My fav is Wings of Kynareth, always makes me calm, happy and somehow nostalgic. Sometimes I just listen to it on a nice day and fill myself with positive energy.
I have definitely found my people when I uploaded this video ^^
You’re right about it having a positive energy, this soundtrack stretches far beyond the game itself. Glad you enjoyed it
my favourite is also wings of kynareth!
Wings of Kynareth hiveee
I remember climbing to the highest peak of Shivering Isles and panning the camera around as "King and Country" played, that gentle piano part as my character looked out over the epic views will always be a cherished memory of Oblivion for me.
To this day, i still listen to the Oblivion soundtrack on a weekly basis whenever i feel stressed because its so relaxing!
Did a ranking of the Skyrim soundtrack with a few friends recently-it’s funny how a lot of the tracks get ranked based on our experience with them. We’ve all heard “Tooth and Claw” over a frozen game screen too many times, so it ranks low.
the king and country commentary literally gave me chills with the music
Peace of Akatosh is my favorite track from oblivion, but the music in this game is so incredible in general. Skyrim has good music, but I think Oblivion's music will always be my favorite personally.
I have an obsession with this soundtrack to the extent that I play it in my car and when we have friends over, and they just think I'm weird, haha. It's so nostalgic for me as this is one of my all time favourite games and the very fact I have stumbled upon you reviewing the soundtrack has immediately made you one of my favourite CZcamsrs. I subscribed immediately and then found you're all about oblivion (and Elder scrolls in general) so I am so happy right now. Thank you 😁 you're like my perfect CZcamsr 🥰
This is a lovely video. Thanks to the CZcams algorithm for recommending it. This soundtrack is so iconic. It was the first game I stayed up until dawn playing on 360 at 13 yo or something.
Watchman's Ease always fills me with motivation, yet somehow, relaxation. It's such a beautiful track, and I'd have to say my favorite. Saying that, every piece of music in Oblivion gives off vibes that I have yet to experience from any other game. Sure, there are other games that have wonderful soundtracks, but nothing will ever surpass Oblivion's for me. Calling the soundtrack a masterpiece is an understatement, this soundtrack really changed my life for the better. This music feels like a healing wind that just sweeps over me and will be in the forefront of my mind for the rest of my life. Well done on this video
Morrowind was my first and still holds a place in my heart as a sort of home away from home for me. When I stepped off the boat to Solstheim in Elder Scrolls V, tears immediately sprang to my eyes. But it is the Oblivion soundtrack that I return to most often, and I agree that it must be one of the best that video games have to offer in all of their history.
That friends of mine are unwilling to try Oblivion or Morrowind due to their "ugly character designs" breaks my heart, because there's so much awe to be experienced in both games!
Thank you for this video, and for your series as a whole; I've binged all of your uploads in nearly one sitting.
'Watchman's Ease' and 'King and Country' in particular always stuck with me. I love every piece of music this game has to offer, but those two tracks are probably my favorites. The whimsy and wonder that floods the mind upon hearing either of those tracks...Jeremy Soule really is a genius.
Your content is off to a great start, keep going!
I've completed around ten complete playthroughs of Oblivion, and I thought there were maybe 7 or 8 songs total. I just thought I was hearing different parts of songs at different times. Blows my mind that there are 26 of them.
There's no wrong ranking. All the songs are perfect for this game.
I completely agree with the listing, especially the top 5 soundtracks. My favorite soundtrack of all times is Auriel’s ascension! It had touched the very depth of my soul when I first played the game. This is the perfect soundtrack for stargazing and thinking about the secrets of the universe and about our place in it, about life and death and also about what is beyond…
PS. I’m so happy I found your channel, I feel like I found a soulmate sister who loves TES universe and especially Oblivion as much as I do ☺️ lots of love ❤
Seeing this masterpiece analysed like this is really comforting and relatable I have been obsessed with the OST for years now and what a perfect number 1 choice that track is beyond magical
Yes! Auriel's Ascension is always the track I go back to. It never ceases to give me goosebumps and bring me back to a simpler time in my life.
This has always been my favourite game soundtrack.
This is ganna be good , its mindblowing that people still do oblivion content and i couldent be happier about it
All's Well being ranked so low is a crime. The Oblivion OST overall is outstanding but that track is unmatched. It's my favorite song from any game of all time. It is so relaxing. The amount of times I listened to it while writing papers in university is probably in the tens of thousands. I especially love listening to it while sunbathing outside on warm summer days. Any time really
Wings of Kynareth is my favorite track!! This was also my first Elder Scrolls game.
A starry night in the coastal region of Bliss with Minstrel's Lament playing is beautiful.
Oblivion was my first Elder Scrolls play through. The music is best ES game setting builder in my view. Good assessment and video!
There is no music that calms me more than the nostalgic tunes of All's Well, Harvest Dawn and Sunrise of Flutes. Lmao at the I liked it before the memes, I know the feeling.
Great video. Picking a top 3 is extremely hard but I will try.
3. Minstrel's Lament
Beautiful, relaxing and peaceful track that I just love.
2. Peace of Akatosh
It's hard to describe how beautiful this is. Every time this tracks plays I can't help but to stop playing and look at the sky, absorbing the moment. It's just incredible.
1. Auriel's Ascension. Same pick as you. I get shivers when I hear it. The nostalgia I get is just unmatched. @24:04 That part always gets me.
Honorable mention to March of the Marauders. Absolutely epic combat music. As you said, its a bit silly when you hear this epic, grand and bombastic music playing only to find out you are fighting a little rat though :P
Something worth pointing out is that Soule was involved in a car accident during the production of Oblivion's OST and during an interview he claimed that this experience highly impacted on not only his personal life but also the the tracks in the OST.
Quote from Eurogamer:" [...] It was during the time that he was working on the Oblivion soundtrack, while travelling south from Canada through Washington State, that his car veered into oncoming traffic. Soule emerged from the crash unscathed, much to the surprise of those who saw the damage to his car, though he believes that the leather jacket he was wearing at the time may well have saved his left arm. As anyone might expect, the crash had a profound effect upon him and in subsequent interviews he explained that the experience fed into Oblivion's soundtrack, telling one interviewer that he wanted "to comment on the human condition and the beauty of life."
""I think music comes from a universal energy, from a place that's way out there. I don't want to say it's pseudo-religious or pseudo-philosophical. It's just intuitive. I believe music comes from somewhere else and I believe that we are here, on earth, to transcribe it and share what we find."
This made the OST hit different for me, specially Auriel's Ascencion.
Canada huh? It's weirdly interesting. When I play oblivion it ALWAYs feels like its cold outside and the music only fed into that feeling. Almost as if its the calm before and after a storm much like what he must have felt during the ordeal. There's a sense of dry air and frigidness to his music here.
Great work. I agree with generally ranking the peaceful music over the combat themes--95% of the time we're listening to the peaceful tracks. That's what makes up much of the ambience. Music is one of the elements that "makes the game," and it's certainly true in Elder Scrolls.
The peaceful music does a great job of evoking feelings of comfort and wonder. I think that the various homes and worldspaces in Oblivion (modded or otherwise) were so enhanced by these soundtracks, such that even the homes in Skyrim or Morrowind can’t quite compare.
Yea, though combat music is not really meant to be "good" in that sense. It is more meant to get your adrenaline pumping rather than being a great piece of music. I think Oblivion has great combat themse overall still.
Okay! Hello! This is a high quality video for your first ever! I'm going through a huge elder scrolls phase again after picking up skyrim again. Oblivion is my favourite too. I didn't know a single name of the songs and I'm so happy I do now. Subscribed, looking forward to your next upload!
Thank you! :) I have done CZcams videos before, but this is my first time creating something in this narration format ✨ The Nine welcome you to the channel 🫶
I have played ESO for years, which has music from all the Elder Scrolls games. It's always been my favorite when a track from Oblivion starts playing.
Great list! I totally agree on the top two--the moment I saw it, I immediately knew what the clear choice for #1 would be. If I ranked them, I'd mostly make small changes, aside from putting March of the Marauders at #3. That track just feels like what every other combat theme in the game is leading up to, a climax that could easily be a final boss theme. It puts me in mind of dueling a Dremora Valkynaz on one of those long bridges between Oblivion towers, or at the top of one of the Corpse Mashers, one step away from a plunge into the abyss, managing health and fatigue and positioning all at once before sending the enemy into the abyss with an expert-level power attack. It's what combat in Oblivion is all about!
March of the Marauders is definitely Oblivion's best combat track, that choir elevates it above the others
I LOVE the Oblivion soundtrack, it just takes me right back to my childhood. This video was well done, I'm excited to see what else this channel will get into in the future!
Edit: YES! Auriel's Ascension earned that #1 spot. No other track would do!
Probably the best game OST of all time, Age of Empires II coming in close second. I constantly go back to it on CZcams or spotify. This game really turned me on to RPGs and it has stuck with me ever since. Skyrim and Morrowind may be more popular, but nobody can deny Oblivion's warm relaxing atmosphere.
In case you didn't know, if you have the original AOE2 game CD (or The Conquerors), it's also an audio CD and will play the soundtrack if you still have a CD player around.
Can't believe that "Tension" got the last place, it's actually one of my favorites. It's so tense, stressful. Words can't describe how uneasy I feel when listening to it, just perfect for a tense or erie scene. My other favorites are Minstrel's lament, Harvest dawn, Auriel's ascension and reign of the septims.
Recently stumbled on this channel. What a nostalgia trip! Oblivion is my favorite game of all time, and this video perfectly captured how the music still makes me feel to this day. Well done! :)
just discovered your channel and i'm so glad i did! would love to see some morrowind content as well
- Angelika talking about Defending the gate: "Short but epic."
- Me: That's what she said!
On a serious note, you really have a lovely calming voice! I would pay a chestfull of septims to hear you do TES themed ASMR-roleplay. With some calm Jeremy Soule in the background, ofc.
At the same time, I also love how obviously passionate you are about the themes in all your videos. I didn't think I could get so captured by talk about mundane (stat-less) clothing in a game, but you rub off on me.
Ah Oblivion, I ❤ it. Especially the OST 😊
Nice to see a good recommendation come up in my feed. Great video too, subscribed.
you absolute beauty. earned a sub for putting Auriel's ascension as number one.
Jeremy soule is a genius. I recently realized that part of Unbroken Road in Skyrim's soundtrack sounds like part of Reign of the Septims and I think that's just so great. In fact, a lot of Skyrim's tracks remind me of Oblivion tracks, which is so great in my mind.
"Reign of the Septims" is one of the best opening themes in video game history (and the opening cinematic itself is way up there, too, especially the end when it zooms in on your cell).
I 100% agree with Auriel's ascension as the top choice, there's nothing more crushing than when it gets cut short by unexpected combat music while exploring
I've been waiting for a video like this for literally over a decade X'D
through the valleys and king and country is probably my fav, it just perfectly captures that feeling of adventure always wanting to see whats over the next hill and the beauty of the world around you asking you to take in your surroundings as you listen,
these were the first two tracks that played for me and one after the other they were perfect, coming out to through the valleys it starts with so little and quickly increases it just feels written deliberately to be the start so much so i thought that time it was a set start one, and king and country is just perfect to follow it up the way it rises and is quicker its a perfect second track as you reach higher ground and overlook this new world and the sense of adventure fills you, i especially associate it with reaching over the tree tops and dark of dementia as the sky opens up in mania and i saw from that ridge in the middle of the shivering isles the true scale of where i was for the first time, and as i listen to them now i could provide so many examples of memorable moments like this which i think is oblivions strongest quality, nothing feels like it didnt have a place there, nothing feels like “content” its all memorable more than any other game ive played
Great video! Looking forward to more uploads, you have such a beautiful way of setting a scene for us. I hope you do Skyrim next.
I really appreciate that, thank you ♥️ Skyrim will be covered next in this ES soundtrack ranking series :)
Your channel is an absolute joy.
Great video and a good begining for a channel.
Oblivion will forever be my favorite Elder Scrolls game, I cannot hear the main theme without wanting to do another playthrough. I'd love to see a list like this for Fable: The Lost Chapters soundtrack, if that is another game you enjoy as well.
I hoped that Auriel's Ascension will be placed top 1 and im not disappointed, that track got me so amazed when i was playing Oblivion for the first time. I came out of imperial sewers and that banger started to play, so hard.
the growing excitement i felt with each ranking that passed, having not heard my favourite track until we finally reached number one! maybe a hot take, but are you really an oblivion fan if your top track isn't auriel's ascension?
My copy of oblivion was bugged (no surprises there) but it never played Auriel's Acension, so I didn't hear it until quite recently, I haven't been able to attach it to my experience of the game yet, as lovely as it is.
I just picked up on something else about the track Death Knell, it seems to me like it shares a lot with Reign of the Septims, but a faster beat and the darker, descending strings. I love when composers make combat versions of the main theme, just like One They Fear in Skyrim.
I love the wilderness exploration music. It conjures up happy memories of wandering the West Weald, harvesting alchemy ingredients... right before getting jumped by another spriggan!
Oblivion's soundtrack, specifically the more peaceful songs, has long been on my playlist of relaxing music to put on for working or just trying to chill. Auriel's Ascension in particular is a favorite.
Awesome video! Deserves way more views! Also LOVE TES soundtrack especially Oblivion
Lovely video and quality content. Bravo !!
the idea for this video is genius. I love the Oblivion OST! Everytime I listen to it the nostalgia hits so hard and makes me think about simpler times.. My favourites would also be the calmer, more serene ones: wings of kynareth, watchsmans ease, glory of cyrodiil, sunrise of flutes, harvest dawn and auriel's ascension
looking forward to the skyrim OST ranking 🙂
Hope we keep seeing more videos! would love to see other elder scrolls sound tracks
You have such a nice voice it fits really well with the Elder Scrolls music! Will you ever rank soundtracks from other Elder Scrolls games?
Great video! I would enjoy Skyrim and Morrowind sountrack rankings too, even though I think Oblivion's is my favorite. The music really is an overlooked aspect to what makes these games so fun to go back to
What a charming little channel I love this
What fascinates me so much when I'm playing Elder Scrolls games (including ESO which I play ALL the time), is that the Gods in this world are supposed to be REAL they're not just some far away Greek mythology. So to hear music about Kynareth or Akatosh/Auriel is just so amazing...to think that somewhere, the gods flew away/disappeared or whatever and that they still exist. And to know that Meridia was part of the Magna Ge and that she, of probably all the powerful beings known as Daedric Princes (even though she is TOTALLY NOT in almost every way), she probably knows all these secrets about the world and its creation and the gods themselves and so on. I just wanna ask Meridia shit and see if she'll answer in these games but of course, it's a video game :( It's frustrating knowing that she's just hanging out in ESO and yet we may never know some of those secrets. There is a little music box you can get in ESO called "Dawnbreaker's Forging" or something like that, and it plays a totally fitting ethereal, almost god-like song befitting of something Meridia created. Of course, I have it in my player house right behind a giant statue to Auriel standing with his sword and an eagle behind him.
Love the commentary & storytelling 😊
Really enjoyed this video! We definitely differ on some of the rankings (you seem to like the dungeon music more than me, and Wings of Kynareth is my fav track, those dancing violins
Saludos guapa me encantan tus vídeos y la forma en que hablas de oblivion una chica no me esperaba lo bien que lo haces ...uno de mis juegos favoritos tienes un nuevo suscriptor y vamos a por más suscriptores
I started on Morrowind and had a gaming hiatus. By the time I tried Oblivion, I was initially upset and felt alienated from my familiar...alien world of Vvardenfell. I had no idea that the rest of Tamriel including basic European-inspired settings and wildlife. But the music still put me in that same mood Morrowind did. Kind of lonely, kind of cozy. Skyrim has some of that, but it has other factors competing for the mood where the previous two installations didn't.
I shared you channel with my friends, we also love the elder scrolls music and i would like to see music rankings for other games too.
I went through and listened to the whole soundtrack and added all of the chill ones to a playlist that is now AMAZING background music to be productive to. Plus, the vibes are immaculate.
I hope you will cover both Morrowind and Skyrim's OSTs too. Totally agree that Auriel's Ascension is the best track. I played Oblivion after being a Morrowind fan for a while (and I played it right after it's release being a maximalist teenager...), at first was disappointed and called this music "Missing my dear Morrowind". Nowadays I grew to appreciate Oblivion and genuinely love it.
Love the videos so far! Blessings of Julianos apon ye
Thank you kind sir
Cant wait to see ur vids on the other two
Oblivion was also my first in the series, and still my favorite. I usually go straight for clothes and enchant them for defenses now instead of just using armor. Way more customization that way for fashion.
one of the best sound tracks of all time. your love for the game is awesome
