Skyrim music

[leukemialobster]

Does anyone else agree with me that the music of Oblivion compared to Skyrim is a MUCH better..? Just wondering since all my friends seem to think oblivion was the weakest ES game in the series and that it's soundtrack sucked. I don't know if this is coming from nostalgia but i thought it was amazing and added so much to the world.
Random question but whatever :]

Personally I preferred the music of Morrowind - enhanced with mods of course. So, when I get to Solstheim in Skyrim - ahh... bliss ! Seriously, though, the game music (imho) is just one of those things Bethesda 'always' gets right, setting the tone and ambience perfectly. :-)

TES: Oblivions music was so serene. I actually felt like I was in a medieval fantasy.

Overall, Skyrim's music feels much more serious and professional but it just seems too "Conan The Barbarian" to me.

I'll never forget that one peaceful Oblivion song that would always play when traveling and not in combat. It went something like, "Dum, dum, dum dee-dee,** dee-dum, dee dem dum; ** Dee dum, dee dem dum, Dee dum dee dem duuum *Repeat*. It was like a flute solo or some other woodwind...

Morrowind is the best for the environment and abiance the music the strongest too then came Oblivion and in last place out of the past 3 games is...Skyrim

I completely agree, I much prefer the softer/Fantasy-esc stile that the music of oblivion had compared to skyrims more "In your face barbaric" style.

Personally I didn't play much morrowind, All i really remember from the sound track was the main theme. But if everything else in the game can be compared to that then morrowind is deffinately a contestant for best soundtrack.
