I was born 87 years ago. For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's Emperor. But for all these years, I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed. The year of Akatosh, 433. These are the closing days of the Third Era, and the final hours of my life. 13:07
Arena: once upon a time Daggerfall: war is coming Battlespire: an ancient evil Redguard: a man's adventure Morrowind: a new hope Oblivion: return of the king Skyrim: heroes rises Online: we stand together
Martin Sand What I got from them: - Arena: In the time after the oceans drank Atlantis... - Daggerfall: Hark well, battle-brothers! War has come once more to our doorstep, and we brave sons of the Iliac Bay shall ride out and meet the enemy! - Battlespire: Behold now, you who dare to s disturb me - behold the face of true fear in its purest form, and despair. All mortals shall quaver in my presence. - Redguard: Adventure! Pirates! Adventure! Dragons! Adventure! - Morrowind: Go forth heir of Nerevar, amd face thine destiny. - Oblivion: Roma invicta! - Skyrim: Furir Ragnárr Komungr! Fyrir Allfađír Óđínn og mođir Frigga! Til Ragnarökkr! - ESO: We are the last hope of this world. We will stand strong - united.
“Wake Up. We're Here. Why are you shaking? Are you ok? Wake up. Stand up. There you go. You were dreaming. What's your name?“ - “ You. I've seen you. Let me see your face. You are the one from my dreams. Then the stars were right, and this is the day. Gods give me strength.” *HEY YOU YOUR FINALY AWAKE*
@@lordjaraxxus5418 No, It's just Jiub. At that time he wasn't saint. Also, Riverwood should be capitalized, because It's a name of a settlement (in that case - village).
"Excuse the gloom, but none may know of this meeting. The nature of my trouble is darker, still... A year ago, King Lysandus of Daggerfall died honorably on the field of battle. He was as loyal a subject, an ally, and friend, as you are. I did grieve for him... But his spirit does not rest. With his spectral army, he haunts his former kingdom, crying for revenge! I do not know why a good and loyal man would be so cursed... Perhaps you can find the answer, and close shut the marble jaws of Oblivion, bringing peace to his soul. I ask this as your emperor... And as your friend. I have one... Lesser request. Several years ago, I wrote a letter to the queen of Daggerfall. It never arrived... The letter was of a sentimental and... Personal nature. If you find and destroy that letter... I will be grateful. Now my champion... Rest well this night, for tomorrow, you sail for the kingdom of Daggerfall!"

Elijah_Gay you do realise elder scrolls 6 is coming out right? We might see a new dragonborn and the prophecy might not have been fulfilled. Especially because alduin isnt dead, he’s just been banished to the end of time and out of sovngarde. We might see more of the big boi in ES6 but its in high rock so idk
That prophecy was certainly fulfilled. The first line refers to the first game and the false ruler splitting the staff of chaos into eight parts. The second line refers to the second game with the Numidium and the warp in the west. The third line refers to the fall of the tribunal due to the destruction of the heart of lorkhan, the stone of red mountain being destroyed in the third game. The fourth line refers to the Septim dynasty ending and the amulet of kings, the stone of the White-Gold tower being destroyed, the fifth line is the state of Skyrim as of the game, and the sixth line clearly refers to the evens of Skyrim. No new dragonborn. Also, lore dump.
Gustavo De Oliveira I am playing Morrowind right now, which is the second one of the franchise l have played (the first one being Skyrim off course). I highly recommend Morrowind. I really do; it's such a great game. The others are probably that as well.
Tiber Maxson I'll be completely honest here skyrim was my first and I'm only now starting oblivion I love it so far....4 hours in and I'm still level 1? lol bur I find it easier than skyrim was for me idk why I was playing a hard difficulty on skyrim
I agree the famous TES theme started with morrowind and I am glad Bethesda decided to go with it for the other games too of course it not identical its the same theme but sped up in oblivion and added choral elements in skyrim
Same composer: Jeremy Soule. He had the great idea to make all the themes match, but still make sense for their prospective games. This gives the feeling of being the same, yet different, much like the series itself. I'm not going to go into which is the best version since that is very much subjective, but it did start with Morrowind, and we have to give Nerevar credit for defining the standard.
@@charleskopievsky1245 it's for the theme of the game so it makes sense for it to be either 1-3 minutes plus how many 6 minutes songs are there?? I have seen 5 minutes, not 6 minutes (Plus I ain't bein mean) Edit: Unless if it is the extended version then that would make sense
Duarte Silva It is likely ES 6 will take place in high rock and hammer fell or valenwood and elsyweyr, and if it's in high rock a traditional European orchestra would work (because high rock is based on medieval England and france)
Arena: Great game, especially for the time Daggerfall: Improved upon Arena, great game as well Morrowind: Big improvement and change from daggerfall to create one of the greatest games of all time Oblivion: Tried its darndest to improve upon Morrowind, which it did fairly well. Skyrim: With new technology, greatly improved upon the Morrowind-Oblivion train and added some epicness for good measure. What an amazing series the Elder Scrolls is!!!
Chief Cheerio It is indeed. All we need now is a good community that can appretiate all the games and say "Wow, Bethesda is a fucking awesome studion, which provided as 20 years of greatest games of all time. All I see now is "Skyrem is teh best, I het teh uther ones" and "Ur such a Skyrem fanbuy, play som Morrowind befur yo talk to meh". It is a shame...
*1 year later* GUYS DON'T WORRY IT WILL HAPPEN ONE DAY *2 years later* IT'S GONNA HAPPEN GUYS!!!! *3 years later* i-it's gonna happen... Right? *4 years later* aight imma head out
arena theme: basic 90's fantasy theme daggerfall theme: sounds like demons rising from the ground. hmm... should've made that the oblivion theme. because the oblivion theme sounds like jack sparrow playing the elder scrolls morrowind theme: absolutely beautiful. it fits well, because other than human faces and npc animations, the game is stunning oblivion theme: pirates of the elder scrolls skyrim theme: *LET'S GO KICK SOME DRAGON ASS!!!!!*
Elder scrolls have some epic theme songs, and the series is epic all over, i do love it. It's impossible to select a favorite theme, they are all epic.
I just love that ESO's theme is a bit of a mix between Skyrim, Oblivion, and Morrowinds themes and that the characters they chose for the artwork each look like they could have been the PC in those games. Was a great way to try incorporate what the fans have loved.
I think all of them are great in their own way, Battlespire? Bad game. Great theme that only makes me wonder what Battlespire could've been like if it was at least decent.
Actually, both sound inspired by "the 1960's - the turbulent year" made by John Williams for the movie Nixon, which came out in 1995. Mystery solved, gang
Tough choice between the oblivion one and the skyrim one. Really oblivion gave a masterful telling of the heroes tale and I think the theme captivates it perfectly. Skyrim's theme sounds fucking amazing and reminds you that you kill dragons and eat their souls for a living in this game.
I'm happy people finally consider ESO an Elder Scrolls game worthy of these theme compilation videos. ESO music in general is arguably some of the best in the entire series.
ESO was made by ZeniMax, Bethesda's parent company. And despite its status as an MMO, it is remarkably close to a traditional Elder Scrolls game. Maybe not at launch, but definitely now.
Indeed, it has good music. Unfortunately, I think a card game is simply the wrong format for Elder Scrolls. I see Legends as an entry that should not have been made. Why didn't they give us a proper sixth installment instead? I have the honour to be your obedient servant, E. Pedante
Lmao, but hey at least redguard tell us significant lore of the elder scroll, it's the earliest game in tes timeline (before teso came along) back when tiber septim still an emperor and middle of his way to conquer all of tamriel, first cat look like appearance of khajit (as far as i remember) and the only game sload appear in tes n'gasta
my top 5: 5-daggerfall, kinda sounds like some war for me 4-oblivion, i prefer its intro theme, not its actual theme 3-eso, simply sounds epic and glorious to me 2-morrowind, sounds so adventurous to me, and always makes me think of the nerevarine 1-skyrim, simply epic, i can workout with this theme
i think morrowind is when they finally realized what they wanted to do with TES. morrowind, oblivion, and skyrim’s themes all tell a story. and i know that they all have the same composer, but that doesn’t mean that they all necessarily have to have the same sound. i think that was a conscious design choice
No. I do love Skyrim and Oblivion but Shivering Isles is probably my favourite DLC for any game. I’m replaying it now actually. I think Bethesda needs to make another Shivering Isles DLC for a future ES.
I love how they all have a different feel depending on where/when they take place. I've played many RPGs and ARPGs in my life but TES is the only one that made me feel like I am the character.
I love how you can kind of hear aspects from most of the other themes all in the ESO theme, it's imo the most powerful theme out of them all, but Daggerfall's my favorite
until this day, i repeated skyrim for almost 8 times starting from it's first release, play the same damn role every goddamn time. Yep truly the best game i ever goddamn played, now im stuck with eso
ESO did a bang up job with the soundtrack, I think. Enough new, stunning scores like Northpoint Nocturne, but not afraid to rearrange and give you those old nostalgic songs.
Arena= Great Quest's Daggerfall= Millions of MPC'S & A Massive Map Morrowind= Simply the best TES Oblivion= Tried the imposible beat Morrowind & Daggerfall Great game & A Great Main History Skyrim= Simply Epic & Massive a game with no Ending!!
Starting from 11:13 up until the end of the video I'm all covered with goosebumps. Bethesda's glory days in game development embodied in epicly composed soundtracks. Just amazing
What I think of the themes 1: There was a story... 2: Cool Adventure 3: A notable tune 4: Ok, now this is epic 5: *AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA* Battlespire: SpOoKy Redguard: Jolly and happy! Wait a sec... Online: Yep, you're doing this
Top five for me 5) Battlespire- I find it to be over all nice and dark. The soft choir is a nice touch. 4) Redguard- Its upbeat sounding, like the hopeful feeling at the beginning of an adventure. 3) Arena- The first theme, where most pull their inspiration from. 2) Morrowind- It feels mysterious. Huanting. An ancient tale yet to be told. 1) Oblivion- It feels like home. When ever I think of the Elder Scrolls this is first game to pop into my head. I just love it.
Through the entire elder scrolls soundtracks, the best 10 seconds is the opening brass for oblivion, the build up and small moment of pure.....ecstacy.
My favorite of these, or should I say the one that has the most effect on me, is Oblivion. This is because I grew up with Oblivion and I've spent as many hours of my youth listening to Oblivion as I have Skyrim. Every time the intro begins my breath catches and I forget how to breathe. When I recently went back and replayed Oblivion, I started crying the moment I left the sewers because the nostalgia and memory of the game just bowled me over. I can pick Oblivion music out of anything at this point. Skyrim music, too, because of course the Skyrim intro is so distinctive, but I've spent full summer days at the keyboard doing nothing but playing Skyrim. The chanting is just my wave and pumps me up, makes me feel like I could be the one fighting dragons and exploring the treacherous mountains. But, of course, the Morrowind soundtrack was the creator of both and that game is on my list of "play before I die" games. A beautiful song that doesnt have quite the effect on me as Oblivion, but just as much respect. Then there's the Elder Scrolls Online theme, and HOO! That tune is ingrained in my memory. It reminds me of the time I spent in the main screen while I waited for my family to hop on and screw with Molag Bal's plans, running across Tamriel to clear every world boss, skyshard, delve, and dolmen. The memories of teleporting and/or running across Tamriel for Psijic portals and saving each and every piece, soaking in how beautiful the game is and admiring every little skeleton with its own story. The dog sitting in Alik'r Desert, and the time spent with Razum Dar and Darius, and the people I both met and parted ways with on ESO. The place where I found a community of people patient enough to teach me how to run trials, gear builds, and just hang out in general. Banding together to either do dumb stuff like a chain of dancing skeletons, or zerg in Alliance war, or even decimating dragons in Elsweyr and halting the Harrowstorm in Western Skyrim and digging up shiny rocks for a house and a wandering person. Just... These games have been so much of my life and hearing the soundtrack to any of them gets me emotional and happy.
Fun fact, both Oblivion and Skyrims theme's incorporate the chime from Morrowinds theme Nerevar rising. That little chime is the defining sound of Elder Scrolls music.
*In my opinion* The Oblivion theme is the most Nostalgic, the Skyrim theme is the most epic, the Morrowind theme is the most calm, the ESO is just great and i love it but nothing special, and Arena and Daggerfall uhmm... They are good!
That's fair. I personally don't feel the same nostalgia for Oblivion, because it was several years after I played Morrowind that I played that one. Also, Morrowind was my first true, open world, RPG game. They are all good, and Oblivion and Skyrim are great, but I think Morrowind is the best at embodying it's world.
Silphaer its funny because i have the same nostalgia for morrowind because it was my first tes gamd, but for some reason the daggerfall theme i like the best, idk the tone of it is awesome
Personally I had only played skyrim up until a few years ago when I got oblivion & online, I later played daggerfall and morrowind. What I have to say is that I never understood why people thought the other themes were good when I had only played skyrim. When I played the other games I realised why. When I played morrowind for the first time, I saw the culture and architecture, I traveled the cities and killed a million F@cken cliff racers and every time I heard the theme play I just had to pause the game and think about the journey and the world. The music in the elder scrolls is made to shape the form of the game that you are playing. Arena is like a fairy tale, Daggerfall is a story of war and politics and game of thrones stuff, Morrowind is adventurous and rich with culture and lore, Oblivion is an tale of heroes and legends, and skyrim is an epic of bold and powerful proportions. My message overall is... F*CK CLIFF RACERS
“...when the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood. But, there is one they fear. In their tongue he is Dovah-Kiin. Dragon-Born!” And then the Arena music kicks in.
My top 3 3:Morrowind i really love the music but it doesnt urge me to immediately jump behind my pc and go play it 2:Skyrim super awesome but i heard it so often it lost its flare 1: elder scrolls online i apsolutely adore this even though many will hate me for it
I made lego film as a school project in 8 crade and it was abaut time travel and when main charters went back to 18 century oblivion theme started playng it went together amazingly
I started the TES series with Morrowind. Honestly, that intro was so beautiful... it really sent me into the world of Tamriel right away each time. I compare those feelings to the ones you may feel listening to a good movie OST, like 'The Lord of the Rings' to name one
Thank you so so sooo very much for putting this together. My first Elder Scrolls game was Oblivion and I really feel like I missed out on all the Gen X'ers playing Elder Scrolls 1-3. I can't imagine how amazing they were at the time.
Whenever the Aldmeri Dominion is fought on a larger scale, there better be a mashup of all these themes. Imagine all of them playing together as the remaining Free Peoples of Tamriel advance on the Dominion's stronghold...
A mix of that main beat all at the same time during like a major fight (like maybe you play as the last dragonborn again and go against a major thalmor person) or large scale battle (e.g. the siege bit on gondor from lotr) would go soooo hard
Sorry if I come across rude or anything...but they're not skyrim games. They're The Elder Scolls (TES for short) games. I know where the confusion comes from though and I completely understand because skyrim is such a massive game and loads of people play it, but people dont know the rest of the series of games
As much as I like the other games, Skyrim will always hold a special place as one of my favorite games of all time. I've been playing ever since I was 7 back in 2013. And I'm still playing 10 years later. I just love the old Scandinavian Viking feeling to it. I've had a great interest in Vikings and the like. My family also tells me that I'm from a heritage of Vikings, from Sweden. So, I feel I can relate to it, even if just a little bit. I've seen people bash on it, and I can understand some of their points. But, at the end of the day, I have an unbreakable bias with Skyrim. You can call it blind nostalgia or whatever. No one can change my mind about the game.
