Favorite Main Menu Music?

Raltin

Over the years, ZOS has made multiple different main menu themes for the various adventures that have been released in ESO, along with a lovely compilation of zone-specific idle compositions, though sadly few combat tracks. Music often finds a way of bringing a game to life, for those who don't mute it and listen to their own playlists they have saved in an app, but the main music itself helps to set the tone for everything that follows. So, to that end, I'm curious... Regardless of the content that was offered during the year these tracks released, on the music alone, what has been YOUR favorite main menu theme?

I can barely remember anything other than vanilla. Maybe Morrowind, but that's because of it's similarity to OG TESIII theme. For Blood and Honor still pops into my mind from time to time, it's really awesome. The musicbox version is nice too.

Morrowind

ESO:Morrowind had the most Elder Scrolls sounding tracks to me, with Summerset coming second. But I don't even listen to the music unless it's the Soundtrack off-game cause it's just turned off in-game. Not going to have the music play if the battle drums interrupt it every minute.

Elsweyr

Elsweyr, absolutely.

Morrowind

I have to give a shoutout to the original theme. Summerset too... What an amazing chapter all around.

Elsweyr

I don't like Greymoor because it just sounds like a poor man's knock off of something from Bloodborne, so I listen to the Bloodborne soundtrack instead.

Summerset

Without a doubt!

Morrowind

Morrowind. My God, literal chills just listening to it.

I'd have to agree. I honestly haven't personally met any players who like the greymoor theme at all.

Elsweyr

I think I liked the Morrowind theme, but the Elsweyr is the only one I can remember now.

It was bombastic, unlike the funeral dirge that is Greymoor now.

I can’t wait for new music.

Same. I want to find out what Blackwood's theme will be... daedric, argonian, imperial? All of the above?

Yeah, despite playing Oblivion and Skyrim I am not into the lore enough to know what to expect, but hopefully anything else will be better than the slow, plodding minor key I have heard for months...

The drums! The drums are rattling my teeth!

For Blood, For Glory, For Honour.
I wish we could go back to it.

It's hard to choose, every variation perfectly reflects it's chapter's spirit.

Elsweyr

Can't choose between Elsweyr and Harrowstorm (last minute of base game intro music)

Summerset

It's pretty hard to decide between morrowind and summerset but I'll stick with more unique sounding piece which also grew on me with time, nerevar rising obviously a more of a nostalgic pick.

RedMuse

Elsweyr

Out of these? Elsweyr. But after having heard the Flames of Ambition login music that one might bump Elsweyr off its first place and if Blackwood is just as good then Elsweyr may end up a good third.

Both Vanilla and Morrowind

Poor Greymoor is not bad at all,but I sense strong sense of Nostalgia. I will be honest and say Vanilla ,but I never yet witnessed Summerset or Elyswer.

i wanted to defend Greymoor is not bad as people say. Very soild.

Nairinhe

Morrowind

For Morrowind they basically took a lot of TES III music, which is the best TES music.

CyberOnEso

Blackwood, it has been added to the PTS.

Morrowind

I like vanilla and Morrowind the most, I don't like Greymoor at all, too boring and mellow for me.

Fischblut

Morrowind

Vanilla and Morrowind themes both were awesome Morrowind's theme is overall darker though, starting at 1:35, so I've chosen it:

If it was possible to set up main menu music, I wish it would start from this tune. I would launch the game, and immediately hear some boss-like music playing

And honorable mention of Elsweyr theme, it has some amazing creepy and epic tunes going (start at 0:42) :

I would set up this tune as my combat music; every fight with lowly mob would suddenly become epic

Greymoor

I chose greymoor, mainly cause that chapter was really the first one I've played with the music on since 2015. Also, I'm quite casual. So alot of times I don't end up buying a chapter till after the next one is released. Completely missing the log in music for that chapter.

@Fischblut thank you for posting the Morrowind theme! I honestly have never heard it till This morning.

If someone could post other previous chapter themes, that would be very much appreciated!! Thanks!

Vanilla = ESO theme.

Other themes seems to be just "other game" wanna be... And Elsweyr theme ? It was just sad.. and depressing...

vibeborn

Vanilla

The first one!
And I haven't even ever heard it in game

Morrowind

i'm not a fan of tes3 or morrowind/dunmer theme but morrowind chapter music will always remind me of the first days in the game. i was so impressed by game graphics and atmosphere, ability to dodge/block/casting skills on move (after some other korean mmo). i had no worries about cyrolags, imbalance or other stuff. just did quests on bleackrock island and enjoyed it.

Now THAT is wonderful! So many look-backs to the main theme of Oblivion and Skyrim. More chills for me!

Vanilla and Summerset, but mostly vanilla.
