Would you like an option to disable combat music so exploration music plays at all times?

The exploration music in ESO is wonderful -- it plays a notable part in making this feel like a proper TES title. However with enemies so densely packed in many spaces, exploration music is often interrupted and replaced by combat music.

Would you like an option (in the Audio Settings or .ini file) to disable combat music so exploration music plays at all times?

    Combat music is good in a tricky fight andespecialy now in IC, from what I hear, because of all the ganker groups.

    But the feeling of immersion is for me best when combat music can be disabled.

    The special TES feeling comes back
    and also the Baldurs Gate feeling :)

We should have fought for our village and not have backed down, with our tail between our legs. Now my home village is in shambles, the houses burning, the invaders feasting.I swear every day to Shor that after Molag Bal has been defeated, I will hunt down the invaders and restore peace in Bleakrock and drink my mead with my friends at the market place".PC-EU

    Some of the new tracks in Imperial City are amazing, capturing the desperate struggle against the daedra. I think it is part of the "dynamic combat music" mentioned on an ESO Live once, where the combat music gets more intense as tougher/more enemies are involved.

    Honestly... I hate ESO combat music... I mainly PVP and I would love to just hear the exploration music instead.

    I love the combat music.. that crap gets me pumped man. That being said, this poll was hard to vote on because I am never against people having options as long as they are disabled by default. So I don't want you to think I wouldn't want to see that option in the game - I'd just want it to be turned off initially.

    It definitely has it's place in the gameplay but as you've said with how the enemies are so close together you barely get a chance to listen to the exploration music. A toggle would be great.
