Morrowind had a good soundtrack with an excellent title theme
Morrowind in-game track was repetitive and overbearing. An hour in, it's tired the ears.

Never much cared for TES soundtrack, sure it sounds nice and comfy when it's actually in-game, but outside of it, it just sounds boring and repetitive as shit.
This is the problem for 95% of soundtracks, so I can't really blame it.
Outcast is the only game with a soundtrack I could rip from it's context and enjoy. Otherwise, game music is for games, and still there are better options.Isnt that how its supposed to be? Who listens to game soundtracks outside of playing the game?
Sadly, this is sort of accurate...This thread is not complete without this copypasta:

I think Mass Effect 1, Fallout 1 and 2 and HoMM IV have perfect soundtracks that are perfectly listenable outside of the game.Never much cared for TES soundtrack, sure it sounds nice and comfy when it's actually in-game, but outside of it, it just sounds boring and repetitive as shit.

Yeah, for all the shit Oblivion gets, there's still a handful of quests which require exploration and investigation. They are very few and far between, but they are somewhat memorable. I mean, you really get fucked when you do the ring quest. And the quest with the women only turns into a "kill these people" thing when they have been found out and they attack you, not the other way around.
I was pretty disappointed once I came across an old and obscure Japanese compilation of ambient music called Ambient, Vol. 4: Isolationism. It's basically the Fallout soundtrack. Mark Morgan never took any inspiration, he just copied the tracks almost verbatim. I've no idea how he was never sued.I think Mass Effect 1, Fallout 1 and 2 and HoMM IV have perfect soundtracks that are perfectly listenable outside of the game.
Yea that track in the snow areas was pretty awesome. Also Arena's main/store theme rocked.Morrowind had a good soundtrack with an excellent title theme ("Call of Magic" a.k.a. "Nerevar Rising"), keeping in mind that the music was kept intentionally in the background. For that matter, even Daggerfall, with the limitations of the midi format, had a few good tracks, in particular "Snow". I always loved entering the city of Daggerfall in winter while it was snowing and that track was playing.The soundtrack is bad in all ES games. And most American games in general. Skyrim especially was torture for me.
Yeah, and he also sampled a track from Aphex TwinI was pretty disappointed once I came across an old and obscure Japanese compilation of ambient music called Ambient, Vol. 4: Isolationism.

Compare:
Once Again I Cast Myself Into the Flames of Atonement - Nijiumu
Fallout 1 Soundtrack - Acolytes of the New God (The Cathedral)
Basically all these years we've been listening to some quirky and really creative underground Japanese ambient artists and heaping blind praise on Mark Morgan who is a piece of shit.
Fucking awesome theme mate.Also Arena's main/store theme rocked.
there isn't a single non-videogames-savvy person that i haven't amazed with chrono cross ost.Never much cared for TES soundtrack, sure it sounds nice and comfy when it's actually in-game, but outside of it, it just sounds boring and repetitive as shit.

Nobody because they are all bad! I listen to some film soundtracks though, that's how it should be with games. There are actually a few games that have great soundtracks I can listen to outside of the game. But they are one in a billion.Never much cared for TES soundtrack, sure it sounds nice and comfy when it's actually in-game, but outside of it, it just sounds boring and repetitive as shit.

Wait one goddamn minute. Daggerfall had seasons? LOL TODD STRIPPED EVERYTHING.Morrowind had a good soundtrack with an excellent title theme ("Call of Magic" a.k.a.
