Can you recall any of the songs from Starfield?

[Dootslayer]

I like Inon Zur and his work, but i feel like he missed the mark huge time with this one.
To me the soundtrack feels Marvel like? Trying to sound grand , but comes off as being generic?

At least to me , this certainly falls into the Marvel music category, you listen to it, but it blurs together after you are absent from it for a while.

I mean, i bet everyone here can recall the main theme of fallout or elder scrolls, how many of us can do it with Starfield?
I'm legit curious, because it might be just me.

I still play the music from Oblivion, Jeremy Soule's music.
It's just that good. I consider it the best game music ever.

The music on Starfield, there is music? I mean, it's more atmospheric sounds, which worked very well in Fallout, but largely does not fit a sci fi setting. Some of it is pretty good, but I would not call it music.
Would not call it bad, not by any stretch, but would not call it great either.

No, I barely remember any music from Skyrim or Fallout either

It's there to add atmosphere, not to get stuck in your head

Which Fallout? Cause the only two I can recall off the top of my head are F2 "Give me a kiss to build a dream on" (Because lets face it, that's an awesome song) and "I don't want to set the world on fire" but I can't actually remember if that was from 3 or 4.

And I don't recall the theme from Elder Scrolls, except Skyrim.

I do however, have Starfield's main theme in my head constantly.

The Skyrim theme is the Elder's scrolls theme remixed.

The combat tracks fail to do both though.

The Ryujin/Neon stuff was probably the most memorable otherwise, Railroad theme from FO4 gets a mention.

The rest was just rehashes of Morrowind/Skyrim/Fallout.

I meant the Dovakiin track.

I disable music in games. Too distracting.

[nWo Iron Eagle]

i turn of the music 90% of the time this game i did it asap so no.

I have not used rumble sense DS1 either

Game music has not been good in a decade minus a handful of titles.

[Cellar_Cat]

I play with it off tbh. It's not bad per se it's just not what I like.

This is different from it not standing out though. Lots of good background music doesn't, that's not really what it's there for.

[Don_Salvatore]

It's interesting what music can do to a game. Paradox have been absolute masters of game soundtracks for two decades now and even if the quality of the games have dipped the music never has.

Listen to the Imperator Rome soundtrack and you instantly feel like you're in ancient Europe.

Listen to Stellaris and you instantly get more of a sense of exploration and science fiction than the whole game of Starfield.

Just another - in the long list of Starfield minuses.

Oblivion had great music -- the introductory sequence with Patrick Stewart and the opening bars of Jeremy Soule's relentlessly excellent main theme just set a fantastic tone for the entire game. Probably the finest brief game intro ever made.

Other Bethesda games ... not so much. Mass Effect series had great music, really added to the storytelling in that game. In Bethesda, it's sandbox storytelling so really the music for the most part takes a back seat.

And I think it's also the case in general these days that more companies "mail it in" when it comes to music because they are well aware that a large percentage of their players immediately turn off music in the settings at the load screen before they even play one second of the game, as a reflex.

Pretty much this. They're supposed to be subtler than something "catchy"

[MyTwoCents]

It's not just you. Skyrim soundtrack was epic...right from the start, it set the tone for an awesome game. It always added a sense of "feeling" to wherever you were. Starfield is entirely generic and blah. It never stands out, it never sets the tone or adds anything.

[Chaosium]

There's one music when roaming in space (with soft piano notes) that made me think of the one that play right after exiting vault 111 in FO4, that's where I knew the same guy made both scores

Strangely enough there's one that really reminds me of Perfect Dark for some reason and I like hearing it
