Ringtone version now ready for DOWNLOAD: adf.ly/JQVYi Thumbs up for the 10 Hours version :D I accualy never played Morrowind , but i know its an awesome game . In future im sure i will play the game :P
I was walking in town for a quick shop, a 5 minute walk, and as I reached the street there was a group of teenagers walking in front of me, who took the same route as I, and they were carrying stuff for camping including two speakers, which were playing this on loud volume. Best walk ever.
You have to imagine it is a small town, located almost inside a forest (explaining the camping stuff), extremely quiet on sunday, a very beautiful town built in pink bricks, full of autumn leaves, no cars, no noise... just the Morrowind theme.
Morrowind. If you played it when it came out you'd know how satisfying it was to find something in the game that none of your friends had found. There was no like social media then, so you had to share basically everything in person. I remember my friend hadn't found the falling man near seyda neen yet, and when he finally found it he went to me the next day and said, and I quote "DUDE, HAVE YOU SEEN THE FALLING DUDE? HIS SPELLS ARE LIKE SOOOOOOO RARE!!" I will never forget the look on his face when I told him I'd found it when the game first released. Anyway this theme song is da bomb!
haha. new generation will never get it, i remember when me and my friend actually printed maps of morrowind s world and started to compare where we got x and y loots. i still remember when i got that armor east of vivec city in a cave. or when i got to the far south of vivec only to find an underwater cave in an island with some awesome loot. of course i had to lvl up before getting that loot. MASTERPIECE
I played it when i was 4 years old back in 2005 (my brother had an Xbox) and it was amazing, i found the falling guy and he has 3 scrolls that give you 9999999999 in acrobatics, they are awesome, and i remember finding the Chrysamere and having some of the best gauntlets in the game at only 16! At level 20 i was ready to fight Dagoth Ur (i think that's what he's called) BEST GAME EVER!!!!
I was just a little girl when this game came out, but I remember sitting for hours, just watching my dad play in our study. I remember making a character myself. I didn't know how to play or how to do any quests, but I just liked walking around the world, listening to the music.
If you haven't played it, I don't want to spoil anything...but these few bars tell the entire main line quest of Morrowind, in all its power and glory. Sad, sweet, poignant, tragic, triumphant at the end...with a militaristic beat driving it all. The story of Nerevar takes over 200 hours to play out. It shifts back and forth...love, betrayal, deceit, death, resurrection, victory, and the touch of a god. Or several gods, actually. Never mind the age of the game, its low-rez quality...Morrowind is timeless. When I installed and started the sequel, Oblivion...and heard the opening notes of a fully orchestral "Nerevar Rising"...I almost wept, it was so...nostalgic. I couldn't help thinking, this is *my* theme. I've...come home.
I read on a wiki that this theme tells the story of the elder scrolls universe. I don't know if it was credible or not but nonetheless it was very interesting. According to that wiki, the drums at the beginning are lorkhans heart and the ongoing melody symbolize the growth of the mortal races, and finally at the end, when the drums slow down and fade is when the world will end and a new one will be born. Unfortunately, I'm too lazy to get a link but you can probably find it.
Morrowind+Theme = Childhood Oblivion+Theme = Your life is stressfull. You are looking for an oppinion to flee reality. You see TES IV on a shelf. You remember you played TES III. You buy it. Skyrim+Theme = Now you are ready. You're a man now. Go flip Chuck Norris the Bird. Now = You are listening to this melody and feel nostalgia. A single tear rolls down you eye as you realise you are not a child anymore. You hope... You hope... For the Elder Scrolls VI. And when you die... the last thing you hear... is this melody... Your lifes anthem. The beginning. And the end. For now. Sovngarde awaits you.
Beautiful. That pride from the game. Those feelings you got that you'll never forget. Dat Nostalgia. I'm proud to feel those feelings and to be a gamer. I wouldn't trade it for anything.
I only wish I could play Morrowind, and feel the same wonder I did when I was a kid. Discovering new places, going through stories and quests, it was amazing, and used to be my favorite game of all time. Oblivion and Skyrim never really hooked me the way Morrowind did. Neither felt as unique and vast, even though they were fine games. Neither caught me with the same excitement and joy Morrowind brought. I'll never forget how fun it was, but I can't play it these days, it has none of that same glorious joy I felt so long ago. T-T I miss you, Morrowind.
Maybe that's because you were younger and it felt much cooler, and that it was your first TES games. Also I'm not accusing you of anything, but a lot of people let nostalgia cloud their judgement of Morrowind
Santiago Hodge I'm the exact same way. I remember it (the feeling) like it was yesterday. But I still do feel the sense of wonder, since I now rarely play it, there is enough time in between each playthrough to forget everything (mostly).
Santiago Hodge I was like so amazed about the world back then as a total noobie kid. My highest lvl char was Orc and I used 2h all the time mashing my enemies along the way. Oh btw the lvl was 2 :D:D:D:D ... but damn was i long at lvl 2
Yeah, I know. That's why other games don't feel as great anymore, either. I'm getting too old. But at least I can remember how fun they were when I had my childlike mind.
I love morrowwind it was the first fun computer game I ever played but after maybe a month my computer broke and now I can never playit again because the disc got destroyed... this song now brings tears of happyness and rememberance to my eyes... #MorrowwindForever
***** At game I just picked up the Anthology for £22 which includes every single TES game with all DLC for them as well as maps for each game, I'd say that is a better deal.
I didn't play this until I was 21 but it helped me through one of the darkest periods of my life. This game is immortalized in me and launched my love of Bethesda Studios.
The issue is that Bethesda's _relatively_ shit at making games work like how they envision... dear God, imagine the implications of them making a bug-free, exploit free masterpiece with a buttery flow for gameplay...
I am 7 years old.. and I am staring into my computer screen. I am hauled off a boat by a man who seems to be holding me against the better part of his will. In an attempt to keep my release civil, the man with war trappings brings me to the deck. The town is apparently known as, "Morrowind." Sunlight dulls my vision with a glare as I hear the cries of a beast that looks like a huge cicada, followed by this theme -- I am beset with beauty. I see adventure. I see memories. I see Morrowind.
That was the most touching comment I ever read. I must say, it sounds like the first chapter of an Elder Scrolls novel (if there ever was one). Shame that modern media would say otherwise.
Which is sad, because a lot of great ideas are only memories... it would be nice for bethesda to do the same as final fantasy are doing, doing actual remakes of their most popular older games
What Morrowind had going for it was it's amazing atmosphere. In terms of wonder and uniqueness, the only things that come close from modern TES titles are the Shivering Isles expansion and Black reach in Skyrim. Morrowind was so unique and different that you couldn't help but want to learn more about, explore it to its fullest. It helped that your decisions mattered and you were truly made to work for your place in the world. Skyrim and Oblivion, though great games, had you as the center of attention from minute one. In Morrowind you were nobody, and stayed that way until you made a name for yourself; how you did that was totally up to you. No one can contest that Oblivion and Skyrim are massive mechanical strides forward, in terms of the perk system, graphics, the whole nine yards. But equally so TES has lost a lot from previous titles like Morrowind and if the trend continues, we'll have ourselves another Assassin's Creed saga. That's why I'll never take the "It's nostalgia." argument seriously. Sure nostalgia can exaggerate my memories, but that doesn't change the fact that Morrowind had qualities Oblivion and Skyrim don't. It shouldn't be too much to expect a consistent level of story telling and atmosphere from a series, it should be a given.
100% agree. I remember getting to Blackreach and being amazed at the concept - another world below the world of Skyrim. That was my favourite part about that game too, unfortunately instead of being full of lore and unique treasure and puzzles, it was mostly empty, with a dragon as the easter egg. Never played Shivering Isles but I heard it was great. Nothing I've played since has topped the quality of Morrowind's raw concepts and execution. It's a shame, especially since I'm sick of playing cookie cutter Tolkien-copies set in medieval Europe. The Witcher had some nice moments in terms of weird monsters and art, but was nowhere near as complete as Morrowind.
How does oblivion you at the center from the beginning. True it makes you meet the emperor in the beginning, but after the sewers, you can do what ever, and no one knows who the hell you ate until you save the emperors son. I personally think oblivion is the best and the had the best feeling to it. Btw...I will always love the thieves guild storyline the most.
THANK you , putting this on loop while i play Skyrim. Brings back some nostalgia, i think i was like 14-16 when i played this game, and now im 23. God damn growing up sucks, hahaha
I know I was 4 or 5 playing this with my two brothers. Now im 16 and I play elder scrolls alone but everytime I hear this I think of all of us playing morrowind
Ah...the memories I have of this game. The bugs, the glitches, the random crashes that make you loose an hour of progress because you forgot to save...such a good game.
I always come back to this. I don't know why, I didn't grow up playing morrowind. I can't wait for my computer to be repaired and play this gem all over again !
no matter if you take morrowind, oblivion or skyrim... they all were groundbreaking rpg's in their time! they may not be my absolute favourites, but they are certainly the ones I spent the most playtime. my salutes to the elder scrolls! I know Tamriel better than my hometown...
You should give Daggerfall a try. If you can get past the dated graphics, then you will get lost in the game. It's probably the only Elder Scrolls game that can compete with Morrowind.
@@TheGrimmCommoner sounds like a cringe idea, don't try it if you don't have the stamina, imagine morrowinds combat dice to a thousand and the glitchiness of skyrim with a 1000 mods
jeff persson That's roughly only about 1.3 years in-game, that's shocking to you? Combined over my main World of Warcraft characters, I have roughly 3 years of actual play time, that's 3 years, logged in, doing something, WoW actually records that per character. And I effectively didn't even play during the last two expansions, and haven't played at all for six months. I'm married, have a kid, and I enlisted in the Air Force even, ie it's not a trait of just "no-lifes". When you put 15 dollars per month into a game at least, you are tempted to make every cent worth it. If I wasn't raiding, I was questing or PvPing, if not that, then exploring, glitching, farming or simply sitting in Stormwind enjoying the view of the lake while I ate a sandwich. Sure beats getting drunk in a bar every day, waking up, and completely forgetting those 7 hours.
***** With the time allowed to me, it is surprising. I've calculated the amount of time I've spent in every elder scrolls game, it scares even me, and I KNOW I have no life.
I think a best seller for Bethesda would be to make an "elder scrolls collection" with completely remastered graphics and sound from every elder scrolls game.
Everyone, a bunch of dedicated modders are rebuilding this awesome game with Skyrim gameplay and graphics. It's called Skywind and it needs all the support it can get. Watch some of their videos, they really are amazing. I'm not even involved with this project, but I'm more than happy to spread the word. Support these awesome modders and get ready for a 2015 Skywind release!
My mother died from MS. She was unable to venture beyond her motorized wheelchair. We would take her out as much as her illness would allow her. We play this song as we camp and travel in general. We hope she is free to travel any lands and realms beyond our understanding. We love you mom.
Without a doubt the best Elder Scrolls game. It's a shame that Skyrim was the last TES game, from now on all we'll likely be seeing is Skyrim 2, Skyrim 3 and so on.
Skyrim 2? Theres still reigons we have yet to explore! Official regions, Moonpath to Eleswyr was good and all, but it took place entirely in the falkreath inn.
The Atomic Cherry The point I was making wasn't so much in the region the game takes place in, more the fact that Bethesda will likely keep piggy backing off Skyrim's mechanics and design for future ES games. And that's sad.
It would be awesome if in the last elder scrolls game, it turns out that all of the heroes through the series have been reincarnations of the same soul - Nerevar, who may have himself been the reincarnation of someone else. Akatosh, or maybe even Anu, could have chosen one being to come into nirn whenever they were needed. The Eternal Champion, The hero of Daggerfall, The Nerevarine, The hero of Kvatch, The Dragonborn, were all one being reincarnated to save tamriel when they were needed. The final game should let us go to Aetherius, maybe even to fight Sithis himself? P.S There needs to be a game about Akavir, that would be awesome.
-travel around morrowind -hear this music -get hyped -cilff racer spots you -music has changed to combat music -fuck you cliff racer -reapet until every cilff racer and mud crab on island are dead -morrowind theme again -you are finally happy -there was bandit camp near you -they are starting attack you -turn off and uninstall game -go to youtube -type morrowind theme -see click on this video -see this comment -think soo true
I started playing this game recently on my crappy parralels windows XP. I wanted to get Skyrim but I didd't think my computer could handle it so I just went with Morrowind. When I first started playing the game I was exited but I after I started the game was being ruined by glitches, graphical and whatever the word for not graphical is, also I found the game boring. but then I heard the main theme. I pushed me to keep going. Then the next morning the game ran perfectly. I still didn't really like the game but the title theme forced me to play on and as I got farther the game got so interesting! I understood all the game mechanics and now I'm completely satisfied! I think if the amazing title theme wasn't in this game I would have just not even bothered to try to have fun and just beet the game because i spent 20$ on it. And while the game does get slow at times I can always fix that with a little cheating :3
Also, completely unrelated. Why is everyone freaking out over bethesda not making Elder Scrolls VI? Skyrim released 5 years after oblivion and it's been only 3 years since skyrim's release. I know they haven't announced out but Bethesda probably is just waiting for skyrim to not become as popular so either they get more people to buy TES 6 or to not overwhelm people with more massive games when many people still aren't done with Skyrim
Lummpy Blaze Fallout 4 will come before the next TES game. And the fact you're criticizing Morrowind's graphical and physical capabilities is disgusting. The game is 12 years old. It's by far the best TES game, and probably the best sandbox game that will ever be made.
Chris Secor I didn't mean to sound like that at all! I Understand that this game is old and I'm not criticizing it at all. Sorry, I should have been specific. The glitches were my screen would flicker ever second and enemies would appear invisible. Thats what i meant by glitches. And it fixed it's self.
Lain Iwakura i wasn't insulting Morrowind! and I know my computer sucking is the reason for these glitches that are gone now! And I know I said I thought is was boring but it gets sooooooo much more interesting if you know the game mechanics and story.
I'm so glad Morrowind was my first Elder Scrolls & RPG experience. I remember feeling so overwhelmed by the scale and freedom of it's open world, it was pretty amazing for a little kid. I like Skyrim.. but I love Morrowind. It's a damn shame that Bethesda doesn't make em like they used to anymore.
For some reason this song makes me really nostalgic...even though I'm still playing through Morrowind for the first time as I wright this. Very powerful theme.
I just finished Morrowind for the first time! I Really enjoyed the "Adventure feeling" you get when playing. I t feels like i'm the only normal 13 year old gamer out there.
Jimmy De Santa I thought people like you are euphoric, not because of some phony gods blessing, but because you are enlightened by your own intelligence. Seems like i was wrong *Tips fedora*
There was a point back in like 2015 or so when I was replaying Morrowind for the second time on my 360. I would come home from work around 10-11pm, smoke a spliff or two and just make pilgrimages around Morrowind until 3am to take in what the world has to offer. For me, the idea of Vvardenfell will always be the jewel of fantasy settings.
The Morrowind theme:Welcome to this new and amazing world,which you can freely explore! The Oblivion them:We have an adventure prepared for you in the beautiful world of Cyrodill! The Skyrim theme:This is your destiny!You must end the dragon menace and free the frozen land of the Nords!You shall kill anyone who stands in your way!FIGHT WITH HONOR DRAGONBORN!!!
i played this game in 2000. back then my pc couldnt handle it even on low graphics. i played with 10fps or something. it was a picture show. still put over 300 hours into it and completely lost myself in this dark dark world. its by far the best TES imo
Hm, I don't know. Exploring Vvardenfell without all of the dialogue just wouldn't be the same. Since the Skyrim engine doesn't have dialogue boxes, you'd have to read everything through the subtitles in dialogue... yeesh...
One year me and a friend went shopping around this time to get some wrapping paper. We happened to buy a budget copy of Morrowind on PC and once home we got a wrapping the presents and a installing this game. The Installation of the game plays the main theme throughout on loop and well we actually never played Morrowind, no instead we just carried on wrapping presents and chatting all the while this insanely amazing theme played on endless loop and not one of us decided it was too much or we needed to change the song or anything. A good memory even if it involved no actual playing of the game.
I played this game through soon after it came out. The possibility of weaving quests together to carve out a bona fide adventure was second to none at that time. Here's my unforgettable story: I started out in Seyda Neen (like everyone who ever set out to play the game). After I got my freedom back, geared up and smoked the local bandit hideout out, I packed up and following the signs and instructions I set out for Balmora to meet with Caius Cosades. On my way though at a crossroad I heard a scream out of nowhere which nearly made me shit myself. Looking left and right, I just had a figure plummetting right in front of my face. Stabbing him to make sure he stays levelled (I won't be fooled twice), I rifled through his possessions, finding the mage's journal explaining his attempt to revolutionize traveling and a scroll. Why not? I summoned its powers and went flying for long seconds. Luckily I used it facing the general direction of the sea and had a soft landing of sorts. After swimming back to the land for a mile (galley slave past does have its pros I guess) I ended up in a tiny fishing village. I went to the local tavern (which is quite a fancy name for that establishment) and started mingling with the locals. One of them had an errand to ask of me, which is to deliver an Argonian slave of his to Balmora. I agreed to his request as I was headed there as well. On the road though the slave approached me and begged to help him escape. He had to get to an Imperial port called Ebonheart where he could board a ship to sail off with the help of an organization that helps the Argonian expats. What the hell, being the roleplayer I am, being sympathetic to his cause I went back on my previous promise and changed course towards Ebonheart. After a more or less uneventful trip we made it to the port, where we parted ways, the now ex-slave being very thankful. Naturally my next stop was the local inn (a good roleplayer loves his pixel mead). There I picked up a rumor about a magic armor stolen by a renegade of the Imperial Army. After an arduous search for clues about the thief and the armor I managed to find the entrance to his hideout. It wasn't an easy fight but the thief got slain and his possessions were now all mine. Having no intent of returning the armor, I stuck with it and indeed it was good enough that I haven't changed it to any other through the whole game. Mind you this all happened before internet and walkthroughs as such weren't common so I did all this just by going with the flow of the game. One of my all-time greatest gaming experiences.
I used to watch my brother play this, I wasn't allowed. now I pick up games left and right but then I used to think it was so cool my brother could play morrowind lol good times
I just love how all these themes are somewhat similar,it's really amazing and im so glad that this composer is still around,hes a really awesome dude too
Damn, this soundtrack just triggers so many good memories. Loved this game and the soundtrack is still so satisfying. I can see the boat, the house, the village and know exactly where I am located on the map when I hear this :)
One of my first jobs out of high school was working at a small town's only video game store. We didn't get much traffic early in the mornings and I always had to set up games on demo. I kept Morrowind playing because the title screen would be a continual loop of this theme. I hadn't played it at the time, but I knew I'd get to it eventually. Little did I realize that once I DID dive into Vvardenfell, it would be the beginning of a gaming obsession spanning over a decade. While I enjoyed Oblivion and adored Skyrim, Morrowind, with all its flaws, still holds a special place in my nerdy heart.
Morrowind: Best storyline and final boss of the Elder Scrolls series. Oblivion: Best cities by far in the Elder Scrolls series. Skyrim: Best soundtrack and surrounding nature in the Elder Scrolls series. That's my opinion at least.
skyrim had the better combat for melee anyway magic morr ob only had cities to a point also funny bugs also rruuuuuuun why you cccccccccaaaannnnnnnnnnnnn line was lol didn't like obs music especially the opening just my opinion
CommanderM117 That was hard to comprehend, but you're wrong Skyrim, Morrowind, and Oblivion were very good received games, not for combat, for lore, TES isn't about combat and I don't think that it's combat is boring, yeah it can be slow towards the beginning, but doesn't it make up for it once you get all the good stuff? there's so much to do in an Elder Scrolls game, how does that make it boring? No one plays an Elder Scrolls game for combat, at least from the people I know.
Geneforson wakes up imediatly in the middle of the night goes to his closet/storage Brings out a box opens it pulls out his old Xbox classic dustes it off pluges it in goes gets his revolver shoots the lock off the safe reaches in to grab another revolver throws the first one down shoots the lock of the second safe opens it pulls out a game case dustes it off its Morrowind pops it into the Xbox grabes his old Xbox controllers off the shelf pluges in old reliable in port one. and hits start ga e lets the memories come flowing back
+Jesse Jamison I've not played morrowind yet, (because i'm trying to 100% Skyrim as best i can) but i think Skyrim is a really great game it's beautiful, the sounudtrack is great and it's welcoming to new action RPG players, It also has one of the most active and longest running modding community i've seen. Excluding mods and just the vanilla game it's still a fun game. Combat is something to be desired, AI is easy to manipulate if you 100% your stealth but it's the game that introduced me to TES series and has a special place in my heart and i hope Morrowind will expand my love for TES. EDIT: The Main quest was a bit meh too but Dark brotherhood made up for that in my opinion.
Morrowind oh morrowind how many memories this game brings back I loved this game when I was a kid and still love it! The game of games for me lol well it got me into the whole rpg games an open world games an all I love it! Thank you morrowind so many great memories !
goakiller900 You mean the theme song was based on this theme song? If so, I don't see that at all. I was asking what the hell he meant, because the way he worded it was atrocious. I couldn't tell what he was talking about.
