A combination of both theme tracks (01 + 21) seamlessly crossfaded. Some manual volume adjustments have been made bit-by-bit. I do not own this music. I only edited it.
The one and only. It was the game of me and my brother. He played the game and i watched it and commented it. Sooo...he was the first "Let's Player" for me ;)
For me it was my little bro. He introduced this game back in 2012. Not long after that, there are flying anthromorphic cat above Vivec cantons in my laptop screen hahaha. Good times
Mine was when my mom was buying my dad the original Xbox for Christmas way back in 2003 and told me to pick out a game for myself. I picked this one out and same - life forever changed!
@sarcastic minecrafter Redoran, Telvani, Hlaalu ( Revoked), Dres, Indoril. But there are others. House Dagoth, the 6th house, no longer existed even at the era of ESO, long before Morrowind. It disappeared after the battle of Red Mountain. In Morrowind House Indoril Is only represented by the player (as Lord Nerevar), the ordinators in Vivec and Mehra Drora in Gnisis temple. House Dres is only mentionned. In ESO you have the 6 houses, House Dagoth is simply called the 6th house. You have a nice quest in Kogoruhn to fight it but Dagoth Ur is not mentionned and Neramo explains that the heart of Lorkhan is a legend ( Obviously he is wrong). Later, in Skyrim age, Morrowind no longer exists after the explosion of the red mountain and the destruction of Vivec city and the dunmers seek refuge where they can.
@@sigertjohansen Little correction: in Skyrim's times Morrowind still exist, but the isle and district of Vvardenfell (the playable area of the Morrowind game, apart from expansion) and other areas on the inland province are uninhabitables (due to the ash poisoning the air). Also part of the reason many dark elves went away even from the inland area and the partial collapse of other cities (including the capital Mournhold) was the Argonian invasion (to revenge the slaves and the oppression of the past and taking advantage of the natural disaster that left the dark elves weaker). But the province partialy recover (even if far from its ancient glory)
Say what you will about Bethesda themselves, Jeremy Soul is a musical genius, and orchestral mastermind. In all my years of gaming, I have not YET found an OST that made me feel the same way all of Soul's TES music makes me feel. Just roaming through The Grazelands while Nerevar Rising plays, or traversing Highland Colovia while Glory of Cyrodiil lightly trills in your ear as you take it all in. Sovengarde plays as you trek onwards toward your final goal, and Ambush blares as you strike the Heart of Lorkhan once then five more. I fucking adore Jeremy Soul's music, couldn't you tell? And sure, Bethesda fucked up with 76, but because of how amazing the Elder Scrolls series is, even Skyrim st points, I'm fully willing to give them a chance for TES VI, if it's a flop then I trust them no more, but my love and adoration for the TES franchise as a whole will not allow me to turn my back on TES VI. TL;DR: Jeremy Soul is a fucking genius and I'd TOTALLY suck him off if I could. No homo.
@The Ostrich Since it was used as base for Oblivion, Skyrim and ESO too, one can always feel nostalgic without even having played Morrowind, just any of the first tree at all
@@salvatiothemusical8582 Good music is good music. That's why Star Wars was great, Jurassic Park, Interstellar, Lord of the Rings, It matters. It matters just as much if not even more than the visuals and lore. That's why they used it in Oblivion, they can't beat this tune. Would it feel like less if this tune was left out? Probably.
Man this theme really hits me in the nostalgia. I really wish this had been remade in the Skyrim engine rather than the endless ports we've been getting.
Nah man TES needs its own MCC and daggerfall and morrowind both need remasters... Not in the dumbed down creation engine though... Skyrims engine is literally just Morrowinds engine but worse, it's missing the soul. But I'm going to be really know that how strong hold that you get during the great house questline I would love to be able to use the settlement system from fallout 4 to decorate that shit and actually build up extensions to it.
Skyrim's theme is crap compared to this one and Oblivion. They tried too much with Skyrim's and it just doesn't have the epic feel they were trying for to me.
When you finally awake but it's actually in a ship that just arrived in Morrowind so you don't have to listen to Ralof talk about Juniper berries for half an hour and can just go and get shanked by an old lady for accidentaly stealing 1 piece of bread, while having the guards stand and watch her run after you with the knife to the edge of town and laugh at your fate.
@@DesolatorStygian If not called by the Nerevar, Vivec is forced into hiding with a mortal lifespan. He cannot escape his fate. He has neither the heart nor the power of worship. The Tribunal is ended.
For anyone who's still interested, the names of all six Great Houses before the betrayal at Red Mountain are on that cover. Clockwise from the top: "DRES", "INDORIL", "TELVANI", "DAGOTH", "HLAALU", and "REDORAN".
I just realized that the Deadric on the triangle are A S V which are the first letters of the names Vivec, Almalexia, and Sotha Sil, for all who want to know
Absolute masterpiece. I'm actually learning this on guitar by ear and it's making me appreciate it more and more, and it's already my favorite theme of all time so it just goes to show how amazing and musically ascending it is
@@KingoKings365 Battlespire did have some great ideas however, being able to properly converse with your enemies n' stuff. I think it would've been better off if they made it a Daggerfall expansion like they originally planned, integrating those mechanics into the much larger world of that game.
I never played this game as a kid. Growing up dirt poor in a third world country, I was first introduced to Oblivion in 2010. Still, I feel the nostalgia.
Morrowind has superior story and worldbuilding, however it is almost better as a collection of lore videos than to acctually play it. Skyrims mainquest isn't really that interesting but it has vastly better gameplay. Really liked the story with Miraak though.
@@ltloxa1159 Well I would say it has more stable gameplay and properly also far better combat but there is so much crazy stuff you can do in Morrowind like the levitation spell alone that I'm not sure if its right to say the whole gameplay is better.
@@rynobehnke8289 It has been argued to death that Morrowind's combat was more akin to classic RPG in that your character's prowess was dependant on their attributes and skill levels. In Skyrim you can use anything competently from the get-go.
@@enrique6335 still more realistic than hitting someone with a sword and it doing literally nothing. Even with the worst possible edge alignment you’re still gonna knock out or kill the person you’re hitting. Getting hit in the head with a big iron bar (a sword) is not good for one’s health.
0:39 - 1:05 is also heard in Skyrim’s theme from around 2:17 - 2:30 (although it sounds faster there) which is probably why it sounds so nostalgic even for people who haven’t played Morrowind. If you can’t hear it go to 0:56 of this theme then bring up the Dragonborn lyrics and sing the part of Skyrim’s theme that says ‘Paaz Keizaal fen kos stin nol bein Alduin jot’ and it’s the exact same melody.
That intro will stick with me for life, or until dementia sets in, lol. The nostalgia for this game always hits hard. My brain definitely associates this with happy moments. While there were some dreams of always running from cliff racers, I never held a grudge. :D
The media hitting us for being one of the violent beings in our society yet never admire one of the masterful and beautiful piece of music by one of the greatest composers out there.
Nah you hear Dovahkiin, Dovahkiin, naal ok zin los vahriin, Wah dein vokul mahfaeraak ahst vaal! Ahrk fin norok paal graan fod nust hon zindro zaan, Dovahkiin, fah hin kogaan mu draal!
I've played the three most recent Elder Scrolls games a fair amount of times, of the trio Morrowind is the one I have the least amount of experience and while I played it on the original xbox as a kid, it's only after playing Oblivion and Skyrim that I dedicated any real time Morrowind. If you grew up with this game and find yourself worried that you're looking at things through nostalgia goggles - rest assured you're not. Even though I have the least amount of time with it, no track from an Elder Scrolls game stirs me like this one with a sense of wonder and curiosity with a good dose of melancholy, and hearing the track again I find myself remembering the echoing whale song of that silt strider in Seeda Neen. Morrowind leaves you with a lasting impression that Oblivion and Skyrim fail to deliver in such an immediate way. Of the relatively brief time I've spent with the game I have more lasting memories of locations and of atmosphere than the other two, and that alone says something. For this I have reverence for the title if not nostalgia, I truly believe Elder Scrolls began to lose its way as soon as the art team and world designers began to leave Bethesda. What they created was a fantasy setting that seemed truly novel and unique, while Oblivion and Skyrim rest too heavily on preexisting mythology and fantasy staples that give them both a sense of derivative design that Morrowind manages to avoid while still employing a degree of fantasy call-backs and borrowings from real-world archaeology. Keep in mind I grew up with Oblivion and to this day very much enjoy Skyrim for what it is and feel that its visual style and art direction were a step back in the right direction despite its other failings. I don't mean to shit on them (I'll squat on Bethesda though), but it's like Morrowind is a completely different IP than the other two.
Never played it but you can’t still feel the Dragonborn song in it, to a point it really hits you with a severe sense of grandeur. Absolutely beautiful music.
I recommend it; really. The stories / quest/ lore and even the spells.... I truly do miss it. What I wouldn't do to "rediscover" for the 1st time. The game can easily immerse you and it's an amazing rpg.
In 2006, I was in my early teens. My Grandfather came home with this game’s cd and a Dog (Husky). Both my Granddad and that Husky is no more in this world. But this game literally changed my life. I still have this game installed in EVERY PCs and Laptops that I have. Whenever I play this game, I think about my time with my granddad and my husky.
The first time i played Morrowind i was 12 years old, and still to this day nostalgia hits me like a sledgehammer whenever i hear those first notes from the main theme
This was it. Thousands of hours I have spent on this. I am now 25 but I discovered this magnificent game when I was 11. I will never forget it, ever. Also I hope Tathriel will land soon..
Oh wow splicing the tracks together like that works surprisingly well. Even though they are kinda different styles the spliced on part feels like it's an "evolution" of the original. I often described the Morrowind theme feeling like a journey, the spliced on part still works in a way as that could be seen as when in the story you are declared the Nerevarine.
Always love this song. Every time I hear it I picture a black screen then slowly the text appears: The Elder Scrolls III then 10 seconds later the slow fade in of M O R R O W I N D with that same background
This song is so fire. My homie burned the CD back in the day and I played the hell out of this game, went on to buy it and all the expansions for my PC and Xbox
you managed to mix this in a way that it perfectly blends to the point where it feels like you're single-handedly becoming the saviour of all dunmer everywhere.
Who get’s still goosebumps in 2024… The absolute masterpiece of all times. For all you out there reading this… Raise your blade… stand your ground May you be all blessed… 🌿🕯️🌿
Everytime you hear this song, it makes a connection within your life. Every time you go back to it after that point, you will remember every connection it has made. A lot of musical pieces are like that. This one just... may have been the first one you encountered that had that effect. It's why you're nostalgic.
Ah, yes, we've been expecting you. You'll have to be recorded before you're officially released. There are a few ways we can do this, and the choice. is. yours.
Somehow I think this is the most boss elder scrolls OST however I never played Morrowind. I always look back to old PC games proudly. Even for C64 games with nice music.
Played this when it came out original Xbox back in the day as a kid and I fell in love with it. I got lucky enough to find it at my local gamecrazy that was connected to a hollywood video when that was still a thing.
This one is actually pretty subtle and melancholic, over the following TES versions they made it more... hollywood blockbuster ish. More is not necessarily better, and they sure added vocals and instruments to it. To me, nothing in these variants has yet to evoke the feeling those solo drums and early violins evoke, like a RISING SUN, WHICH IS THE FREAKING POINT.
@@vba2469 they fit the games. Do you think this song fits oblivion or Skyrim? NO! The chanting in dovahzuul fits Skyrim and is just as good. But you don’t care about that.
To think it's been 20 years since the game first released. Looking back Morrowind was probably the game I went back to the most over the years having played it on and off from the 7th grade all the way to my senior year of high school.
the elders scroll saga is a masterpiece than lots of next genarations will continue playing... i feel fortunate to played this when they was released like the prime night of a movie.when you play you are not a player you are inside the game and your toon is yourself.. this is the magic of this masterpiece Saga.
