Anyone else miss the more frequent music, like in Morrowind. In Morrowind when I adventured the music played a good amount of the time, but in Skyrim when I adventure I miss the amount of music I heard in Morrowind. I cranked up the music slider but still I missed the music when it wasn't playing.
How do you feel about the frequence of music in Skyim?
I like it the way it is! And actually I think it's really cool when there's no music. It only happens every once in awhile, but I really enjoy just the natural sounds of Skyrim. Especially when you're in the Rift with all the leaves shufflin around and the wind blowing, sound of the water in the creek. Don't get me wrong, I love the "soundtrack" to Skyrim. Think it's perfect, but that two minutes when there's nothing is bliss to me. Freaks me out a little. haha! I like it.
There was a guy on here that turns the music all the way down. I can understand that now. It REALLY intensifys the game. I haven't done it, but I may try it for a couple hours once.
No, i really like what they have done with the music this time round, its has a much more smooth natural feel. Morrowind and Oblivion had very 'abrupt' changes in music that could actually became a little jolting and break immersion. Since playing a sneaky character ive noticed that i have to pay extra attention to my sorroundings now that i dont have my little 'music cue' to help me out. I absolutely love that the dragons get their own sound track, that never gets old! Sometimes i even try to draw the battle out to get to the 'Dovahkin' part of the track, then i let rip with me axe!
I would agree with you Mason on the 'abrupt' changes. It is in Skyrim a little, but not as bad as it's predessors.
I was watching some gameplay photage of a guy 'questing' in Skyrim, he entered a room and there was a sound that I've heard many times. Didn't think much of it, but he commented on "oh, there's something good in here." I can't remember what the sound was though. ha! But the point I'm making is the little subtle sounds of Skyrim that are cool.
I think what they have done is brill the music adds to the drama and story well. When your just trekking around the noises of the world around build a soundtrack for you. If it was on more I dont think the dramatic music skyrim is becoming famous for wouldn't have the same impact.
I wonder if that sound happens when you come across something good. You know, when you enter a room, it sounds kinda like a bomb went off in the distance? that means something tasty is in the room. I've fast travel to some open area places, like a springin location, and it will make that noise but I can't find anything. Anyway, I was wondering if that still aplys if the music is off. hell, I don't know if I'm making any sense! ha!
I prefer to play without music also. Especially since I like to walk everywhere most of the time. I do wish there was an option that automatically played music during dragon slaying though. I know I can turn it up when a dragon comes along but that would be nice if it came on without stopping the game!
I guess I am the exception to the rule as I usually create my own soundtrack. I like to play with some Norma Jean, I Killed the Prom Queen, Disharmony (his voice is like a melodic dream, basically a raw metal soundtrack with some metal melody thrown in for good measure sometimes even a little Die Antwoord.
