Ancient Black Door to Dark Brotherhood Ambiance

[mikeday]

If you're new and haven't ever started the Dark Brotherhood quest line in Oblivion, then the following has some spoilers for the original:


Finding the Ancient Black Door completely by chance was one of the highlights of my playthrough in the original. Exploring that house and eventually seeing a red glow, then following it to come to a creepy red-glowing door with an ominous, slow, deep bass drum beat, almost like half a heart beat... It was seared into my mind as one of the coolest chance discoveries I've ever seen in a game. I didn't know anything about the Dark Brotherhood when I first saw it.

In the remaster, there's no ominous deep sound, and no red glow. Sure, the door looks 'better' and more realistic, but the ambiance is gone.

Is the deep, slow drum beat gone for everyone?

This disappointment has me worried for other moments that meant a lot to me in the original. I'm still playing (I've loved it so far), but this change is a big miss IMO.
