2 thug 4 yo bitch You do, making the champion of Cyrodil one of the few heroes who are immortal. Nerevarine is also, but he has a disease that makes him insane but immortal
Jeremy Soule did an amazing job reusing the same theme for Morrowing, Oblivion, and Skyrim but changing it to fit the tone of the game/the environment. Such a talented composer.
Agree. It's almost like each region of tamriel was given the same theme, and told to make their own remix. Just adds to the fact that the games are in the same universe, same world, and same landmass.
Pink floyd is famous for such things as well. Any given album (except for sid barret stuff) all had recurring "themes" that would occasionally pop up to convey emotional responses.
***** About your assumed bigotry just because someone comments on an English forum in their native language. I know it's a rule in places where you need to be able to speak English, but don't call someone a commie just because they don't speak English. It makes you look bad.

Razor Maw Kind of late, but the original comment is the Prophecy of the Dragonborn. On the right side of Alduin’s Wall, five key historical events were recorded, which culminates with the Dragonborn defeating Alduin.
I love hearing how Jeremy Soule wove the same theme through the Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim themes, and then hearing all of them right after the other. Especially with Arena and Daggerfall right there, too. God, I love this video game series
they did the same thing with the fallout themes for 3-4, 3 was the original, NV has the theme woven in but it isn't really the original, and 4 is a revamped version of the original
Save the humour for Fallout IMO. I think people should decide what they want in the game: You want humour play Fallout or if you want a quality game, play Elder Scrolls.

I find Skyrim great, the graphics were immaculate and the cities memorable. However, it didn't have that incredible feel that oblivion has. The first time you emerged from that dark sewer and were plunged into that magical world. Skyrim was dark and snowy, Oblivion was bright, magical and incredible. Walking into the imperial city, Hearing that theme tune, exploring the wilderness. Oh yes, take me to Oblivion again.

The daggerfall theme sends chills down my spine when I hear it on piano, somehow it is just 10 times better on piano, can you make a "standalone" for its theme?
im not sure, but i think that the first elder scrolls game you play is your favorite, for me that was morrowind, got it the time skyrim came out and never quite got over it.
danny1111105 i started with oblivion but i think skyrim is my favorite. i like the region of cyrodil better but skyrim's graphics and gameplay were better and it had dragons :D
One of the reasons i love Oblivion the most isn the fact that the PC is a nobody. Not a chosen one, not a high-standing individual, just an average joe. That's why in see him as the greatest of the heroes. (Also he is literally the most powerful what with the whole Sheogorath situation)
Most Daedric Princes actually feared Jyggalag, hence why they drove him to madness. Then here comes the hero of Kvatch to challenge him one to one. He/she won.
theInsaneCashew Might I ask you to delete your comment, due to the fact that many of those not yet blessed by Sheagorath would find it to be a spoiler.
Exactly. I remember booting up skyrim for the first time back in 2011 really looking forward to the main menu theme, I'm like "really? This is it?". Much better on piano
I swear I smiled through this whole video. The Elder Scrolls has always been my favorite game series, and hearing the different themes played into one beautiful piano piece.... It's absolutely epic. Awesome job!
Hard to believe it was 10 years ago, I’m nearing the end of college now. I remember vividly revisiting this video constantly in anticipation for Skyrim. Here’s to hoping you return when TES6 properly comes out.
+Gilda Griffon Well, horrible is a bit strong. Horrible companies don't make award winning games every single time with record breaking selling statistics and reviews. They have fucked up a few times, but they still make great games, I just hope their next game is more like morrowind and less like skyrim.
I come back usually about twice a year to hear this music, it gives me chills. I have been playing this game since dagger fall and I'll never forget it.
I LOVE the Elder Scrolls, but Skyrim will always be near and dear to me, mainly because it was the first Elder Scroll game I've ever played (not an old player, played Skyrim first, Oblivion second, and Morrowind last) But there is one thing that I LOVE equally about all 3 games and that is the music (especially the main themes) it takes my breath away every time!
1 tip start with the fighters guild the last quest wil give jou elven armor and elven long or greatsword it wil take soms time tough but its worth it belief me
While everyone is talking about The Eternal Champion, The Hero of Daggerfall, The Nerevarine, The Champion of Cyrodil, The Dovahkiin. But dont forget The Vestige (ESO) The Apprentice (Battle spire) Master tunnel rat (TES Travels Stormhold) Cyrus (TES Adventure Redguard) Hero of Dawnstar (TES Travels Dawnstar) Soul of Conflict (TES Travels Shadowkey) The Warrior (TES Blades) The Forgotten Hero (TES Legends) Talym Rend (TES Legends Isle of madness) They are all heros in TES although some are only mortal and forgotten but I hope everyone remembers them because they are all heros.
For my friend Sarah 0:02 our time spent together during our freshman year 0:31 our time spent together during our senior year 1:23 years of not seeing or talking to eachother 1:33 seeing eachother again at whataburger after so many years 3:10 a stronger friendship then we've ever had before with better memories to 4:01 however this story ends whether it be good or weather it be bad I will carry with me some of the greatest memories I've ever had
Arena: happy adventure time. Daggerfall: Edgy tragedy. Morrowind: Go explore. Oblivion: Go on epic quest. Skyrim: be angry at everyone and everything while being manly in a macho way.
If only I could go back and tell my 2012 self watching this video for the first time that there won’t be another Elder Scrolls game for at least 10 years
I wait for the day when we are able to experience all of the countries of tamerial in one game and they are not split apart by loading screens, no a living breathing world where we can feel like we are in, where we can see the cultures of the kajhitt then go see the nords. I long to see this even if it means becoming the lord of my realm just to live forever because when that elder scrolls game comes out we will truly reach the limits of what is a normal open world game and then tear it apart with this new bigger and better world. That is manifest destiny.
Man, this thing is just so beautiful. The way the Arena theme starts, so sorrowful yet bright and hopeful. The way the Daggerfall theme follows, so bold and grand, contrasting the previous one. The way the Morrowind theme picks up after that, as if a throwback to Arena with its sad motif, and the way it then progresses into a much more uplifting and powerful piece until the Oblivion theme comes in like a fist through a wall, smashing the calmness of the Call of Magic and setting its larger-than-life mood, until slowly recessing and allowing the softer tunes to the forefront again. And then finally, the Skyrim theme breaks through with its splendor, before finally retreating with a repeating bass line into silence. This is perfection.
zGmart Lee Psssh, yeah, because a bunch of testosterone-poisoned baritones making kung-fu noises is way more appropriate for this mythical land than a subtle, mysterious treatment of the tune that ends in a crescendo to capture the epicness. No offense intended, but the Morrowind theme is near and dear to my heart, and from a purely musical standpoint, it's much better. But hey, just my opinion.
Matt Sampson I don't agree that Skyrim has the best music, but the theme did actually fit the game better than any other of them. 1) the lyrics told a story 2) it was in Dragon Tongue and 3) it sounded like Nords were singing it. As far as the theme goes, Skyrim's was 100% the most appropriate, so don't pick on that even if you didn't like it more than others.
Elder scrolls series is a fantastic series.... Played them all!! I even got into the closed ESO beta... On a grand scale of 1 - 10... 1 being shit, and 10 being god's gift to humanity... i'd give the Elder Scrolls series a 1/10. Totally recommend every game in the series.. Best series ive ever had the pleasure to be a part of..
Khaoserat No no no no no... You're just misunderstanding my purpose... Im saying 1/10, so people ACTUALLY READ MY REVIEW, rather than just look at the number value i give it... Numbers dont mean anything without a full description of WHY it got that number... And it is GENUINELY one of the best game series's ive ever played... That's why it gets a 1/10...
Ugh, I love the music but seriously I hate looking at the comments because everyone just wants to argue about the best elder scroll game when their is no "best" all were an amazing game for their time. Can we just please leave it at that?
Sporsumus Torsumus The fact is though, it's over a hundred years in the future; even if it is inhabited by Nords or other races - it has Imperial influence due to the Empire reigning over it. I seem to remember a more sophisticated Imperial regime too, not just; 'off with their head!' - who knows, it could be the effects of having the descendant of an Emperor who took power by force as the current Imperial Sovereign.
Sporsumus Torsumus I was talking about the 'cut his head off even though we don't know who he is' part. And you basically just repeated what I said about the Empire being influenced by the warlord who forced his way to power. What I was saying is, even Solitude doesn't have a more futuristic feel (Not sci-fi, one hundred years advancement) compared to Cyrodiil. Even if the Ayleid's made the Imperial City, that's no excuse for cities like Anvil or Skingrad; the Imperial armour seems to have gone a ways back too - it has less protection on the soldier in my opinion. No matter, when TES VI comes out (In a few years I hope) the world will hopefully feel as if it has changed in the right way.
Why does *everyone* _constantly_ get the Arena theme _wrong_ ? Or at least, that bit of counterpoint at the beginning. It resolves *upwards* , not down. It bothers my ears. I cannot be the _only_ person who hears this.
Morrowind was THE game. You could FLY, you could KILL THE MAIN CHARACTERS (though, once you did, a text appeared for the next 5 minutes, saying you just screwed the world and that the prophecies wouldn't realize no more). I played EVERY mayor and minor quest in TES III, I can assure you it was worth the time. The only problem is, it's a game from 2001, so graphically It's very polygonal (though some graphical patch can solve the problem). You cannot double-wield, but you can still cast a spell while wielding a weapon. By the way, I LOVED every episode of TES saga, nonetheless. If you love RPG and are not afraid of low graphics, download the first 2 episodes, too (bethesda realesed them FREE, somewhere in the internet).
bregonz The graphics were not the problem of Morrowind, the dialogue system was. Really, it was annoying to hea-- read the same thing from everyone. I think over half of the NPCs had no unique dialogue lines at all. If you played only Skyrim, Orion, you should go for Olbivion first, it's a great game too.
Dialogues were never a good thing in TES games. They were always mediocre for me so I didn't really bother choosing which ones are the best. But if I'd have to take the best dialogues, it would be Oblivion, and worst would be Morrowind and Skyrim (in Morrowind they are just generated, and in Skyrim they only speak pointless bullshit and talk to themselves about their lifes)
***** Thats all you opinion, most of which I disagree with so you cant just say that its a fact that Skyrim is the best game out of the bunch if that "fact" is no doubt widely disputed. Personally I think Morrowind is the best in every regard but graphics(which is the least important part of a game and doesnt even matter because of all the graphics overhauls the game has). Also Skyrims immersion is none exsistant because they give this guy almighty power in the form of being able to shout people to death just a quest or two into the game(what is this dune?). Morrowind on the other hand starts you off as a peasant thats a complete nobody whos about as weak if not more weak then a damn scrib. You actually have to work for your god like power, it doesnt just fall into your mouth after a quest or two. Also the spell system in Morrowind is way better then Skyrims and Oblivions by far, the having to wave your hands for a bit actually made it feel like your summoning the magicka and forming it into a spell, not just throwing a spell at someone like you would a ball. And to top it all off the menus in Morrowind were way fast to navigate, because there was one screen with all menus on it, in convenient to move and resize boxes might I add. From my own personal experience the only people who think Skyrim is the best are the people who never got past the hit and miss combat of Morrowind and quit playing at level 1 or 2 because they didnt like not being able to kick everythings ass right out of the gate, or the people who only ever played Oblivion and skyrim so they only have 2 games to draw a conclusion from so they choose the one with better graphics like some late 80s-early 90s kid still stuck in the bit wars. Damn that turned out to be a lot more typing then I thought it would. TL:DR Some guy ranting that Skyrim cant be the best TES game for some reasons he goes into to much depth about.
I think Skyrim has more immersion than Morrowind in terms of dialogue, because at least they have a personality. In whiterun you have some crazy talos priest, a romeo and juliet plot, the little annoying children adn the weird fortune telling old woman. In Morrowind, you either have the same copy and paste dialogue or 'I don't like you enough to share that.' However Morrowind has more catchphrases, ie "why walk when you can ride."

im not sure, but i think that the first elder scrolls game you play is your favorite, for me that was morrowind, got it the time skyrim came out and never quite got over it.
danny1111105 i started with oblivion but i think skyrim is my favorite. i like the region of cyrodil better but skyrim's graphics and gameplay were better and it had dragons :D
Perry Davis yeah i guess dragons beat daedra.
Grebackissocool but in morrowind, beating a daedra is less epic than beating a dragon in skyrim. where is that updated version of morrowind?
Grebackissocool i think alduin is a different story though, he was much more powerful than any other dragon in the game
One of the reasons i love Oblivion the most isn the fact that the PC is a nobody. Not a chosen one, not a high-standing individual, just an average joe. That's why in see him as the greatest of the heroes. (Also he is literally the most powerful what with the whole Sheogorath situation)
Most Daedric Princes actually feared Jyggalag, hence why they drove him to madness. Then here comes the hero of Kvatch to challenge him one to one. He/she won.
theInsaneCashew Might I ask you to delete your comment, due to the fact that many of those not yet blessed by Sheagorath would find it to be a spoiler.
Bogdan Koldunenko Spoiler rules don't really apply to a DLC that's been out for nearly 8 years now...
hmm...true too...
***** That's more like a psychic glimpse though
I like the Skyrim theme way more when it's made of piano than shouting Nords.
The nordic one has a place. Like when you're in an intense battle
Exactly. I remember booting up skyrim for the first time back in 2011 really looking forward to the main menu theme, I'm like "really? This is it?". Much better on piano
I swear I smiled through this whole video. The Elder Scrolls has always been my favorite game series, and hearing the different themes played into one beautiful piano piece....
It's absolutely epic.
Awesome job!
I got chills from all the theme tunes.
I love all of the games, I personally don't have a favorite because each is a work of art in its own way.
12 Years later, still listening. I just saw I never liked the video but iI listened to it like 200 times with the years... Thanks again
2:55... that right gave me the most goosebumps i've ever felt in my life. THE FEELS!
Morrowind is the best in my opnion
+O Zuera Nope, OBLIVION.
+O Zuera oblivion is peerless
+O Zuera Luckily it is present in every elder scrolls game ever since
***** No, I disagreed
+O Zuera 1st-Daggerfall
2nd - Morrowind
3rd - Arena
4th - Skyrim
5th - Oblivion
(By a pretty close call ...Oh btw IMO)
Did anyone else get chills at not only this being the entire Elder Scrolls title themes, but at how good this guy played them?
Hard to believe it was 10 years ago, I’m nearing the end of college now. I remember vividly revisiting this video constantly in anticipation for Skyrim. Here’s to hoping you return when TES6 properly comes out.
9 years ago this masterpiece was uploaded on youtube. Every year atleast once I come back to it. Thank you!
It all just sounds like one song, I wonder if Bethesda did this on purpose
That's like the main theme of Elder Scrolls now. It's just changed a bit for every entry
+bob saget IIRC, TES III: Morrowind was when Jeremy Soule started doing the music for the games. Arena and Daggerfall had a different composer.
You can hear same symphony at every song at 3-4-5
You can hear same symphony at every song at 3-4-5
It's the same melody, they just play it in different keys and scales and add stuff to it t
I think I prefer the daggerfall song even though I've never played the game myself.
Setup properly, Daggerfall is a great game.
Free, to boot.
+Gilda Griffon It's a shame they cut so much content from it to get it out by a certain date. Then they missed the scheduled release date anyway.
Well, that's Bethesda. They ARE a horrible company, after all.
+Gilda Griffon Well, horrible is a bit strong. Horrible companies don't make award winning games every single time with record breaking selling statistics and reviews.
They have fucked up a few times, but they still make great games, I just hope their next game is more like morrowind and less like skyrim.
>horrible companies don't make award winning games
EA.
I love how all these pieces just flow together
Still a masterpiece to this day
Why walk when you can ride?
Why ride when you can fly?
I am crying because of Morrowind is sooooo beautiful!!
I am crying because of your grammar is soooo bad!!
@@person-kz1jh leave him alone, not everyone is perfect
I come back usually about twice a year to hear this music, it gives me chills. I have been playing this game since dagger fall and I'll never forget it.
"Jeremy Soule comes up with the iconic melodic loop for Morrowind"
Bethesda: Aight thx this is our theme now forever
I LOVE the Elder Scrolls, but Skyrim will always be near and dear to me, mainly because it was the first Elder Scroll game I've ever played (not an old player, played Skyrim first, Oblivion second, and Morrowind last) But there is one thing that I LOVE equally about all 3 games and that is the music (especially the main themes) it takes my breath away every time!
The elders scrolls are the best games ever made
I agree with you.
It's almost like I get a nostalgic feeling every time I listen to this even though I started with Oblivion.
1 tip start with the fighters guild the last quest wil give jou elven armor and elven long or greatsword it wil take soms time tough but its worth it belief me
same here
I started with skyrim but i love oblivion its so much more chalenging
i like the occasional nostalgia shots in the background
it's 2024 and this is still magnificent, I remember the first time I watched this and I really enjoy it, never gets old
If there was a movie for Elder Scrolls, this whole song of the 5 themes would be the credits music.
Flawless victory
While everyone is talking about The Eternal Champion, The Hero of Daggerfall, The Nerevarine, The Champion of Cyrodil, The Dovahkiin.
But dont forget
The Vestige (ESO)
The Apprentice (Battle spire)
Master tunnel rat (TES Travels Stormhold)
Cyrus (TES Adventure Redguard)
Hero of Dawnstar (TES Travels Dawnstar)
Soul of Conflict (TES Travels Shadowkey)
The Warrior (TES Blades)
The Forgotten Hero (TES Legends)
Talym Rend (TES Legends Isle of madness)
They are all heros in TES although some are only mortal and forgotten but I hope everyone remembers them because they are all heros.
Hero of Dawnstar's actual title is the Master Tunnelrat.
Listening to this blend of music from Arena- Skyrim gives me so many chills of how well the each piece of music comes together. Absolutely beautiful.
Stirring and extraordinary performance!
How many times did you have to try to do this right?
For my friend Sarah
0:02 our time spent together during our freshman year
0:31 our time spent together during our senior year
1:23 years of not seeing or talking to eachother
1:33 seeing eachother again at whataburger after so many years
3:10 a stronger friendship then we've ever had before with better memories to
4:01 however this story ends whether it be good or weather it be bad I will carry with me some of the greatest memories I've ever had
Over 9 years later and i still come back to listen to this. Thank you.
Size: Arena>Daggerfall>Skyrim>Oblivion>Morrowind
Variety: Morrowind>Daggerfall>Arena>Skyrim>Oblivion
Story: Morrowind>Skyrim>Oblivion>Daggerfall>Arena
Combat: Skyrim>Oblivion>Dagger fall>Morrowind> Arena
I thought that Daggerfall is bigger than Arena. Wasn't it the double size of the UK ??
Arena was randomly generated, making it 128,000 square miles.
But Arena was randomly generated with a area of about 128,000 square miles.
yes but technically, arena was 6 million square miles, I heard from a source. It may not be correct.
BanishedTitan There is no way it is 6 million square miles. That is extremely big. I don't know the exact size but it isn't that.
Can't stop listening to this!:)
Arena: happy adventure time.
Daggerfall: Edgy tragedy.
Morrowind: Go explore.
Oblivion: Go on epic quest.
Skyrim: be angry at everyone and everything while being manly in a macho way.
arena feels more sad than happy to me and idk where you get edgyness from daggerfall
Remember that for inquiries or requests you can message me on Instagram :)

If only I could go back and tell my 2012 self watching this video for the first time that there won’t be another Elder Scrolls game for at least 10 years
116 Cliff Racers Disliked this.
119 n'wah
Michael MacKean LOL
Cliff racers: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
209 n'wahs
I dislike the cliff racers!
The Elder Scroll 6 Teaser Coming Out Guys
Morrowind was my first introduction to this franchise, and its theme will always hold a deep place of nostalgia in my heart
The best part is, Skyrim wasn't even out when this video was made.
I wait for the day when we are able to experience all of the countries of tamerial in one game and they are not split apart by loading screens, no a living breathing world where we can feel like we are in, where we can see the cultures of the kajhitt then go see the nords. I long to see this even if it means becoming the lord of my realm just to live forever because when that elder scrolls game comes out we will truly reach the limits of what is a normal open world game and then tear it apart with this new bigger and better world. That is manifest destiny.
They should take all the games, and put them in one. Like what 343 did with the master chief collection.
BoogieBean they did?
OMFG!! I NEED TO GET IT. problem is that its not for Windows 10
ThePudgyBudgie Should still work.
It would probably blow up your console/PC
ES Anthology just incluedes all the games seperatly in one collection, why shouldn't it run on Windows 10?
Man, this thing is just so beautiful.
The way the Arena theme starts, so sorrowful yet bright and hopeful. The way the Daggerfall theme follows, so bold and grand, contrasting the previous one. The way the Morrowind theme picks up after that, as if a throwback to Arena with its sad motif, and the way it then progresses into a much more uplifting and powerful piece until the Oblivion theme comes in like a fist through a wall, smashing the calmness of the Call of Magic and setting its larger-than-life mood, until slowly recessing and allowing the softer tunes to the forefront again. And then finally, the Skyrim theme breaks through with its splendor, before finally retreating with a repeating bass line into silence.
This is perfection.
Morrowind > Daggerfall > Skyrim > Oblivion > Arena - Music
Oblivion > Morrowind > Daggerfall > Arena > Skyrim -Game
Amen Cortex
skyrim > oblivion > morrowind > daggerfall > arena - game
skyrim > all of them - music
zGmart Lee Psssh, yeah, because a bunch of testosterone-poisoned baritones making kung-fu noises is way more appropriate for this mythical land than a subtle, mysterious treatment of the tune that ends in a crescendo to capture the epicness. No offense intended, but the Morrowind theme is near and dear to my heart, and from a purely musical standpoint, it's much better. But hey, just my opinion.
Matt Sampson I don't agree that Skyrim has the best music, but the theme did actually fit the game better than any other of them. 1) the lyrics told a story 2) it was in Dragon Tongue and 3) it sounded like Nords were singing it. As far as the theme goes, Skyrim's was 100% the most appropriate, so don't pick on that even if you didn't like it more than others.
If you honestly find Arena better than Skyrim, I'm afraid I can't take anything you write seriously...
I don´t know why, but I strongly feel like I have heard Daggerfall´s theme somewhere else, in a movie or the like...
Richardsen Nvm, I got it! It is in Star Wars. Listen closely, you will notice it.
***** Indeed, I think it is "Across the Stars" from Episode II.
Richardsen And I think it was in Skyrim somewhere
+Richardsen that's what I was thinking lol
Glad I'm not the only one that thought that...
I am a sucker for the Daggerfall theme tbh
i remember watching this when Skyrim first came out. Still a great work of art
Elder scrolls series is a fantastic series.... Played them all!! I even got into the closed ESO beta...
On a grand scale of 1 - 10... 1 being shit, and 10 being god's gift to humanity...
i'd give the Elder Scrolls series a 1/10.
Totally recommend every game in the series.. Best series ive ever had the pleasure to be a part of..
... You realise you put 1/10 right?
Khaoserat Yeah! 1/10... Have you ever played it? It's by far one of the best games I've played, and ill always come back...
Okey doke, i'm probably failing to detect sarcasm but oh well.
Khaoserat
No no no no no... You're just misunderstanding my purpose... Im saying 1/10, so people ACTUALLY READ MY REVIEW, rather than just look at the number value i give it...
Numbers dont mean anything without a full description of WHY it got that number...
And it is GENUINELY one of the best game series's ive ever played... That's why it gets a 1/10...
Okay then haha xD
Ugh, I love the music but seriously I hate looking at the comments because everyone just wants to argue about the best elder scroll game when their is no "best" all were an amazing game for their time. Can we just please leave it at that?
Morrowind was by far the most beautiful to me
You, sir or madam, have made a grown man cry. Such a beautiful arrangement!
Oblivion is more of a knight/pirate feel.
Indeed. Well you are technically a Knight in Oblivion. *hint hint* Knights of the Nine...
Feels like you went back in time rather than forward in Skyrim.
Sporsumus Torsumus The fact is though, it's over a hundred years in the future; even if it is inhabited by Nords or other races - it has Imperial influence due to the Empire reigning over it.
I seem to remember a more sophisticated Imperial regime too, not just; 'off with their head!' - who knows, it could be the effects of having the descendant of an Emperor who took power by force as the current Imperial Sovereign.
Sporsumus Torsumus I was talking about the 'cut his head off even though we don't know who he is' part. And you basically just repeated what I said about the Empire being influenced by the warlord who forced his way to power.
What I was saying is, even Solitude doesn't have a more futuristic feel (Not sci-fi, one hundred years advancement) compared to Cyrodiil.
Even if the Ayleid's made the Imperial City, that's no excuse for cities like Anvil or Skingrad; the Imperial armour seems to have gone a ways back too - it has less protection on the soldier in my opinion.
No matter, when TES VI comes out (In a few years I hope) the world will hopefully feel as if it has changed in the right way.
Well in skyrim it has harsh environments and different culture so... Meh I don't know.
LONG LIVE THE ELDER SCROLLS!!!!!!
Morrowind is the best
Came across this video, I still remember watching it when I was in College a decade back. Still a great video
Every theme sounds like a prologue to the next one
Morrowind
0:58 John Williams probably stole this melody to use as the basis of Across the Stars...
Breaks my heart every time I hear it... Gods guide you Hadvar!!!!
This video came out before skyrim
Why does *everyone* _constantly_ get the Arena theme _wrong_ ? Or at least, that bit of counterpoint at the beginning. It resolves *upwards* , not down. It bothers my ears. I cannot be the _only_ person who hears this.
My personal favorite theme is Morrowinds, call to magic, and i sadly cannot choose a favorite game as i have only played skyrim.
Morrowind was THE game. You could FLY, you could KILL THE MAIN CHARACTERS (though, once you did, a text appeared for the next 5 minutes, saying you just screwed the world and that the prophecies wouldn't realize no more). I played EVERY mayor and minor quest in TES III, I can assure you it was worth the time.
The only problem is, it's a game from 2001, so graphically It's very polygonal (though some graphical patch can solve the problem).
You cannot double-wield, but you can still cast a spell while wielding a weapon.
By the way, I LOVED every episode of TES saga, nonetheless.
If you love RPG and are not afraid of low graphics, download the first 2 episodes, too (bethesda realesed them FREE, somewhere in the internet).
Dude I never said that Morrowind was the musics name I said Morrowind's (it came from morrowind) Call to Magic (name of music).
OrionInfernal and he tells you to go and play that game
I hope to do so considering all the positive rep it has.
bregonz The graphics were not the problem of Morrowind, the dialogue system was. Really, it was annoying to hea-- read the same thing from everyone. I think over half of the NPCs had no unique dialogue lines at all. If you played only Skyrim, Orion, you should go for Olbivion first, it's a great game too.
man i remember watching this video back in my early skyrim days and i still remember it so vividly.
it's always nice to rewatch this cover
Found this appropriate to listen to now the TES VI has been announced ✨😭
Sadly, TES VI Isn't out Yet.
Elder Scrolls 6 ends up just being Skyrim remastered
I came here just for listening Morrowind’s theme and leave as a fan of Daggerfall’s…
Nerevar guide me.
The music goes so well with the atmospheres..
Oblivion > Morrowind = Daggerfall > Skyrim > Arena - game overall
Skyrim = Oblivion = Morrowind = Daggerfall = Music - music
Morrowind > Daggerfall > Oblivion > Arena > Skyrim - role-play and immersion
Morrowind has more immersion? but the people say the same thing everytime
Dialogues were never a good thing in TES games. They were always mediocre for me so I didn't really bother choosing which ones are the best. But if I'd have to take the best dialogues, it would be Oblivion, and worst would be Morrowind and Skyrim (in Morrowind they are just generated, and in Skyrim they only speak pointless bullshit and talk to themselves about their lifes)
Vernon Roche I used to have an opinion like you, but then i took an arrow in the knee.
***** Thats all you opinion, most of which I disagree with so you cant just say that its a fact that Skyrim is the best game out of the bunch if that "fact" is no doubt widely disputed.
Personally I think Morrowind is the best in every regard but graphics(which is the least important part of a game and doesnt even matter because of all the graphics overhauls the game has). Also Skyrims immersion is none exsistant because they give this guy almighty power in the form of being able to shout people to death just a quest or two into the game(what is this dune?). Morrowind on the other hand starts you off as a peasant thats a complete nobody whos about as weak if not more weak then a damn scrib. You actually have to work for your god like power, it doesnt just fall into your mouth after a quest or two. Also the spell system in Morrowind is way better then Skyrims and Oblivions by far, the having to wave your hands for a bit actually made it feel like your summoning the magicka and forming it into a spell, not just throwing a spell at someone like you would a ball. And to top it all off the menus in Morrowind were way fast to navigate, because there was one screen with all menus on it, in convenient to move and resize boxes might I add.
From my own personal experience the only people who think Skyrim is the best are the people who never got past the hit and miss combat of Morrowind and quit playing at level 1 or 2 because they didnt like not being able to kick everythings ass right out of the gate, or the people who only ever played Oblivion and skyrim so they only have 2 games to draw a conclusion from so they choose the one with better graphics like some late 80s-early 90s kid still stuck in the bit wars.
Damn that turned out to be a lot more typing then I thought it would.
TL:DR Some guy ranting that Skyrim cant be the best TES game for some reasons he goes into to much depth about.
I think Skyrim has more immersion than Morrowind in terms of dialogue, because at least they have a personality. In whiterun you have some crazy talos priest, a romeo and juliet plot, the little annoying children adn the weird fortune telling old woman. In Morrowind, you either have the same copy and paste dialogue or 'I don't like you enough to share that.' However Morrowind has more catchphrases, ie "why walk when you can ride."
For tamriel!!
I want this to play at my funreal
i teared up ive played all the games and hearing them mixed with pictures brought back so many memories thankyou
thankyou
