I just love how these theme has become a leithmotif of the whole TES series end get it's variations from the original TES3 to the all TESO DLC themes...
It's subtle when you consider the theory that every protagonist is a reincarnation of Lorkhan, the leitmotiff is Lorkhan's soul beckoning within the other elements of the song which describe the protagonist.
@@tremendousyeet3467I can complement your words with the theory that the sounds of the drums at the beginning of each version of this wonderful musical composition are nothing more than the tone or beat of Lorkhan's heart. In addition, we know that Lorkhan was called the Drum of Doom and we can understand something when interacting with the heart in the third part of the game. So I agree that this soundtrack has something in common or is somehow connected with one of the famous deities - Lorkhan.
this song is like the original definition of the word "epic". it feels so good. makes me think of exploration, a magical land of adventure that's waiting to be explored, with loads of secrets and treasures to uncover. friends to make, enemies to fight. innocents to help, choices to make.
Hearing this as you emerge from the Red Mountain, the victorious, conquering, hero, as the sun rises and the air clears of ash, is the best feeling in gaming.
I used to love the random down time moments, buying potions and scrolls in vivec or something, its just dead quiet besides the random mutterings of the npcs, or the ones that greet you in passing. Then, all of a sudden you hear the quiet subtle drum hits in the pairs of the intro... And the swelling piece just comes out of nowhere, slapping for the most non-dramatic moment. 🤣 You become so inspired for your 20 minute long walk to the next destination !
It’s so insane how the soundtrack drove the player to explore. When you first get off that boat, go to balmora…. Then you kinda get the feel for it. Wondering round vicec like you say…. Gathering small bits of information along the way… nothing compares to the atmosphere of this game to this day for me… the soundtrack was a huge part in the already gigantic universe of my youth. Phenomenal game.
This song put me to sleep as a baby child when my dad took care of me. I have always been a TES baby. And forever will be. Anyone who had parents who introduced them to this series, had a good childhood in my opinion 💜 I love Skyrim, it's got me through a lot of things. I even got some of my friends to play it and that makes me happy, I hope this series keeps staying epic. hopefully Tod will make something that warms our hearts as these songs once did
The games of our youths, when we had the most time, the lest fettered imaginations and enough wide eyed innocence to find wonderment in everything, those are the games that stay with us. That define our expectations, that all subsequent games, fail to recapture, because so much of what made those games great, was infact our youth. Morrowind is that game for me.
@veteran0121 don't worry, I don't mean to suggest that Morrowind lacks objective qualities, beyond those I ascribe to it in misty eyed retrospection. Only that, the game is of its time and that time was significant both within the industry but separately, for myself too.
Never actually played Morrowind but obviously I can feel the influence this had on Skyrim's music. It's absolutely beautiful, especially the second chorus at 1:09 that is just...wow
Man I'm telling ya I can hum this off by heart... Only because of Skyrim, Its wild that its not even really a Skyrim tune, But it was adapted off Morrowind a game I've never played and i can hum it with ease
i grew up on early 2010s games, and i can say, for sure, that even tho i've only just got the hang of morrowinds mechanics after 6 months, that it was game design at its finest. now days everything is spoonfed troll shit with copied mechanics, over realistic graphics and uninteresting, not inspiring and boring stories.

And now we will never hear Jeremy Soule creations in the future Elder Scrolls games because of a LGBTQQ+ XER/XHEM Rainbow half-shaved haircut failed dev woman said on twitter he abused her, without providing any proof or filling any real legal complain at a police station.
