Morrowind Special Edition Soundtrack: Drumbeat of the Dunmer

[TheGreatRakatan]

I'd say the biggest flaw of Morrowind was the interface and the combat system. Everything else I thought was superb.

[starwarsguy9]

@TheGreatRakatan, the interface? Are you kidding me? That interface is the best. The ONLY thing is the combat system, and that is easily greatly improved by installing some mods. Graphics are aged too, but for the most part still look nice, though that void can be filled with mesh/texture replacements and MGE.

[TheGreatRakatan]

@starwarsguy9 I can't for the life of me why I said that the interface was flawed. But yes, the combat system was the worst part. Being a mage was ridiculously hard in that game. Excuse my poorly thought out comment. The interface was in fact very good. The map was great, the journal especially was one very important part of that game I miss in Oblivion and Skyrim. No floating arrows, just journal entries telling you where to go.

@iorost Yeah. I've recently read some info about it that have made me expect it to be below the quality of past TES games. First is that they're putting together Cuirass and Greaves (Not that big a deal, but it's an even BIGGER step down from the times of Morrowind) and second is that they're apparently taking CALL OF DUTY as the model to make it "Accesible". Seriously, I've got nothing against CoD, but I DON'T want to play Scrolls of Duty. I'll still buy it, and hope to be pleasantly surprised.

[Eruonen]

@masterplusmargarita So, were you pleasantly surprised by Skyrim? I know I was.

[masterplusmargarita]

@Eruonen I most definitely was. My favourite Elder Scrolls game now, actually. Second only to Deus Ex 1 on my best games ever list. It's everything that was good about Oblivion, Morrowind and even Daggerfall rolled into one, with very few flaws. The interface (On PC, at least) is the biggest flaw.

[masterplusmargarita]

My hopes for Skyrim are:

-Morrowind's deep, interesting questlines and storytelling, as well as detailed enviroments.

-Oblivion's amazing graphics (Though it's been confirmed graphics will be much more "Next-Gen") and gameplay, as well as detailed enviroments (I consider Morrowind and Oblivion equal on that).

-Daggerfall's (Hah, how many of you've played that? Just so you know, it's for free on Bethesda's site right now) amazing, mind-blowing size.

I remember acquiring the Umbra sword to this song!! That story of his was so touching....

But that blade made my battles so much easier :))

[yutzwagon2]

I remember the first time I heard this particular song, I was on my way to Caldera. I didn't know about the Alits near the entrance... Needless to say, I screamed and shit myself as they chewed up my level one ass.

[Balathustrius86]

Thank Saint Jiub that if I we return to Vvardenfell we won't have to worry about cliff racers.

[nisus8]

@Balathustrius86 Actually, according to the new "Elder Scrolls" novels coming out, Vvardenfell no longer exists, having gotten destroyed by Red Mountain after the Ministry of Truth crashed into Vivec City (around 3 years after the events of "Oblivion").

[DavidMann3]

'Caww caww' (music starts) Oh look, I'm being chased by another cliff racer in this foyada- AGAIN.

[Hyarmen]

I think this is the piece I've rarely encountered whilst playing Morrowind, it just doesn't show up much

miss the good time though, just reinstalled the game for some good fun :)

[starwarsguy9]

Be sure to install some mods too, those things are must-have!

[Nabo00o]

@starwarsguy9

Agreed! Especially blood moon!

[viva9626]

@Nabo00o That's an expancion pack, but it's still AWESOME!!!!!!

[cTeng1]

I always dreaded hearing this song... meant there was a cliff racer coming.

[HAYDER271077]

HEY what did he mean by better quality??

the sound??

[starwarsguy9]

Nobody said better quality...

[cTeng1]

I'm pretty sure it just means that the album cover has better picture quality. I could be wrong, though; ask Starwarsguy9.

[starwarsguy9]

Probably both the audio and video.

[Agent1W]

I recall this song better with those large black beetles, called 'Shalks'. Even though they crawl rather slowly, they have some massive AoE fire attack! Holy shit!

[Scortaber]

@Agent1W I know, right?

Wait... What does AoE stand for? I thought it stood for Age of Empires.

[Agent1W]

@Scortaber Area of Effect. The shalks create these big fireballs.

[Anoleis]

Oh,yes!Julian Soule too (There's two of them!?!)!

[starwarsguy9]

Yup, Julian Soule is Jeremy's brother, they work together on mostly all their work and write soundtracks on a share basis (Jeremy writes some songs, Julian writes others), so you don't know which song is by who all the time!

[Anoleis]

Aaaah...now I understand.Thank you.!^^

[Anoleis]

Another grand epic!May Jeremy Soule live forever...

[starwarsguy9]

Julian Soule too!
