The Elder Scrolls Megathread XV: A Song of Ice and Draugr - Games

[QUOTE=Tuskin;40819316]Some ESO footage with First Person animations [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mAMQMEmlCu0[/media][/QUOTE] I know that it's an MMO and all but first person combat looks almost as weak as Morrowind's.

[QUOTE=Medevilae;40820511]There isn't exactly a wealth of MMORPGs where you can interact with players in first person as silly as that sounds closest thing I can think of is Garry's Mod[/QUOTE] [URL="http://www.mortalonline.com/features"]Mortal Online[/URL] is probably the only actual true first person MMORPG I can think of.

After listening to all the main themes, Skyrim is by far the best. No competition.

[QUOTE=redBadger;40822521]After listening to all the main themes, Skyrim is by far the best.

I still think Morrowind's main theme is the best, and not just because I has nostalgia goggles on or anything. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rhaq4JP_t6o[/media]

[QUOTE=hypno-toad;40822557]:ohdear: [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/raTA8n.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] I don't like surprises

Morrowinds theme isn't overbearing and has a more whimsical quality to it that the later versions lacked; it's still my favorite one because of that.

Morrowinds is so repetitive and too light, which makes it really boring for me. [editline]28th May 2013[/editline] Not to mention that skyrims is a lot more musically complex due to soules greater experience

I like Morrowind's the best, it feels magical. And I know it's not nostalgia for me, since I got Morrowind a year after Skyrim.

Morrowinds pieces are great, but there definitely is less of them. They were probably on a tighter budget [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=hypno-toad;40822557]:ohdear: [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/raTA8n.jpg[/t][/QUOTE] [t]http://i.cubeupload.com/eKR2Do.jpg[/t]

I'll just leave this here. [media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cAnQQcIncq0[/media]

I love the Morrowind theme for its gradual buildup before it swells to magic, and I love the Skyrim theme because it's grand and epic, and representative of the Dragonborn's power. Oblivion's isn't as subtly magic Morrowind's or as grand as Skyrim's so it gets overshadowed by the two, which is basically how I feel about the game itself now that I think about it.

I feel like the only one that thinks that Oblivion has more memorable music than Skyrim or Morrowind.

And I like all three, simply because they have a good bit of differences to be liked in different ways.

It's kinda annoying because it sticks in your head and the same "theme" is repeated through other tracks while you play. But it's a good thing because it has an epic feeling to it. For me, this track from Oblivion is the best TES music: [url]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qV8qanp65-E[/url]

[QUOTE=redBadger;40822644] Not to mention that skyrims is a lot more musically complex due to soules greater experience[/QUOTE] Something comes to mind about the relationship between complexity and artistry - - but disregarding [i]that[/i] for a bit; the same can't be said for the rest of Skyrim's soundtrack as we work backwards to Oblivion. Morrowind's incidentals are somewhere in the middle - some clearly distinctive (The Road Most Travelled and Dance of Swords come to mind) representative of how Morrowind as a whole was, some forgettable and trope-ic. Oblivion's soundtrack does the same job with consistently more success. (Although I have to admit that some of the more "fantastical" flourishes - there's a particular song with a flute rising over a string section - are let down by the [i]rest[/i] of Oblivion. You don't give me light and airy mysticism when I'm tramping through Generic Niben Delta Forest #23, damnit.)

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;40826008] [t]http://i.imgur.com/Lse9q.jpg[/t] mod that adds gore torture sex dungeons (serious!) [/QUOTE] So..

My hope is the enxt Elder Scrolls will tkae place in a setting that has just as much character as Morrowind did. One of the reasons I loved Morrowind was it wasn't in some generic fantasy setting for the most part, and even when you were it was played well; Imperial settlements deliberately stood out and old Dunmer villages were either this foreign stone buildings, shacks in the swamp or in Tel Aruhn's case big shells and skeletons. The native armour (Bonemold, Chitin, Netch Leather) all had a great sense of character to it to the more mudnane chainmail and plate armour and the locations gave a great sense of location as they were all pretty consistent with the feeling of Vvardenfel in general, which seemed to be swamp, ash and mud with a few fields thrown in on the east side of the island. It felt sufficiently alien, particularly as you start off in a relatively normal village in the form of Seeda Neen.

I hope they won't pull another Skyrim for the new tes.

Considering the people who complain about Skyrim are the minority I doubt it. [editline]29th May 2013[/editline] Any innovation Beth tries to make will be mostly hated by players of the previous games, but liked by newcomers, such as the absence of missing attacks in Oblivion.

It's only going to get worse and worse.

I love both Morrowind and Skyrim. Is something wrong with me?

So i guess i'm [I]not[/I] getting source on that dungeon thing? . . .

Are there any decapitation killmoves for warhammers?

[QUOTE=Oicani Gonzales;40826008][t]http://i.imgur.com/08E82.png[/t][/QUOTE] This is great

[QUOTE=fear me;40827397]I love both Morrowind and Skyrim. Is something wrong with me?[/QUOTE] Nope, though you're forgetting the best one. Adventures: Redguard

Did someone asked for best theme? [video=youtube;5jY66zHksLc]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5jY66zHksLc[/video]
